Starting and moving the vehicle
when it is in safety mode
If safety mode has been set, it may be possible
to reset the system in order to start and move
the vehicle a short distance, for example, if it is
blocking traffic.
Starting the vehicle when it is in safety
mode
1. Check the vehicle for damage, particularly for
fuel leakage. Make sure you do not detect
any gasoline fumes.
If the damage to the vehicle is minor and
there is no fuel leakage/fumes, you may
attempt to start the engine.
WARNING
Never attempt to restart the vehicle if you
smell fuel fumes when the message
Safety
mode See Owner's manual is displayed in
the instrument panel. Leave the vehicle imme-
diately.
2. Switch off the ignition.
3. Then try to start the vehicle.
> The vehicle's electrical system will per-
form a system check and then attempt to
reset to normal operating mode.
CAUTION
If the message Safety mode See Owner's
manual is still displayed, the vehicle should
not be driven or towed behind another vehi-
cle. If the vehicle needs to be moved, it must
be towed on a tow truck. Even if no damage
is apparent, there may be hidden damage that
could make the vehicle impossible to control.
Moving the vehicle when it is in safety
mode
1.
If the message
Normal mode The vehicle
is now in normal mode is displayed after
attempting to start the engine, the vehicle
may be moved carefully from its present
position if, for example, it is blocking traffic.
2. Do not move the vehicle farther than abso-
lutely necessary.
WARNING
When the vehicle is in safety mode, it should
not be towed behind another vehicle. It should
be towed from the site on a tow truck. Volvo
recommends towing the vehicle directly to an
authorized Volvo workshop.
