2000 Volvo S & V 40
WARNING!
If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if
your car has become flooddamaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before
disconnecting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have
the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.
Before attempting to tow the car, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear selector
to the neutral position.
· Disconnect the battery
· Wait at least one minute
· Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position 1
· Press firmly on the shiftlock override button (located near the base of the gear selector).
· While holding the override button down, move the gear selector from the park position.
WARNING!
Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car. Other safety
systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye
irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.
