SAFETY
34
Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt pretensioners,
front airbags (p. 35), side impact air-
bags (p. 41), a front passenger occupant
weight sensor (p. 38), and inflatable cur-
tains (p. 43). All of these systems are moni-
tored by the SRS control module. An SRS warn-
ing light in the instrument panel (see the illustra-
tion) illuminates when the ignition is in modes I
or II, and will normally go out after approximately
6 seconds if no faults are detected in the system.
Where applicable, a text message will also be
displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates.
If this warning symbol is not functioning properly,
the general warning symbol illuminates and a text
message will be displayed.
See also Information displays – indicator symbols
(p. 75) and Information displays – warning sym-
bols (p. 77) for more information about indica-
tor and warning lights.
WARNING
•
If the SRS warning light stays on after the
engine has started or if it illuminates
while you are driving, have the vehicle
inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician as soon as possible.
•
Never try to repair any component or part
of the SRS yourself. Any interference in
the system could cause malfunction and
serious injury. All work on these systems
should be performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
WARNING
If your vehicle has become flood-damaged in
any way (e.g., soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehicle), do not
attempt to start the vehicle or insert the
remote key into the ignition slot before dis-
connecting the battery (see below). This may
cause airbag deployment which could result in
serious injury. Have the vehicle towed to a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician
for repairs.
Before attempting to tow the vehicle:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the battery.
2. Follow the instructions for manually over-
riding the shiftlock system Transmission –
shiftlock override (p. 267).
