NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS
indicator light will illuminate for several sec-
onds while the system performs a self-diag-
nostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
•
The OWS indicator light will stay on
•
The SRS warning light will come on and stay
on and a text message will be displayed.
WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indi-
cated as described, be aware that the pas-

the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS
system and Occupant Weight Sensor should
be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo

that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the
child restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to the
status of the passenger's side front airbag, move the child

The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the
passenger's side front airbag in the event of a
