Safety systems
In addition to seat belts and airbags, your vehi-
cle is also equipped with a number of other
safety systems.
In the event of an accident, there are a number of
sensors in the vehicle that react and trigger
safety systems such as Roll Stability Control, air-
bags, seat belt pretensioners, etc., depending on
the severity of the collision. There are also
mechanical systems such as the Whiplash
Protection System.

Airbag system
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts,
your vehicle is equipped with an airbag system.
WARNING
•
If the airbag 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 airbag systems yourself. Any inter-
ference in the system could cause mal-
function and serious injury. All work on
these systems should be performed by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian.
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. This may cause
airbag deployment which could result in seri-
ous 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.
Deployed airbags
WARNING
If any of the airbags have deployed:
•
Do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Have
it towed to a qualified repair facility.
•
If necessary seek medical attentIon.
