Safety
The vehicle is equipped with a number of
safety systems that work together to help
protect the vehicle's driver and passengers in
the event of an accident.
The vehicle is equipped with a number of sen-
sors that may react in the event of an accident
and activate different safety systems, such as
the airbag system and seat belt tensioners.
Depending on the specific conditions of the
accident, e.g. collisions at certain angles, over-
turning or swerving, the systems react differ-
ently to help provide good protection.
There are also mechanical safety systems
such as the Whiplash Protection System. The
vehicle is also built so that a large part of the
force of a collision is distributed to the vehi-
cle's members, pillars, floor, roof and other
parts of the body.
After an accident, the vehicle's safety mode
may be activated if any important function in
the vehicle has been damaged.
Warning symbol in the instrument
panel
The warning symbol in the instru-
ment panel illuminates when the
vehicle's electrical system is in igni-
tion mode
II . The symbol will go out
after approx. 6 seconds if no faults are
detected in the vehicle's safety systems.
WARNING
If the warning symbol remains illuminated
or switches on while driving and the mes-
sage SRS airbag Service urgent Drive to
workshop is displayed in the instrument
panel, this indicates that something in the
safety system is not functioning properly.
Volvo recommends contacting an author-
ized Volvo workshop for repairs as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair any of the
vehicle's safety systems yourself. Incor-
rectly performed repairs to any system
could impair function and lead to serious
injury. Volvo recommends contacting an
authorized Volvo workshop.
If this dedicated warning symbol is
not functioning, the general warning
symbol will illuminate instead and
the same message will be displayed
in the instrument panel.
