to start and move the vehicle, for example, if it is
blocking traffic.
Starting the vehicle in safety mode
1. Check the vehicle for damage, particularly for
fuel leakage or the smell of gasoline fumes.
If the damage to the vehicle is minor and
there is no fuel leakage/fumes, you may
attempt to start the engine and move the
vehicle.

leakage while

ported on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician for inspec-
tion/repairs.
