Safety -> Airbag deployment for Your Volvo EX30 4 Door First Generation (2025-2026)

There are several airbags that your car can deploy in a collision. They can help reduce the impact forces  
experienced by occupants.  
The image shows a selection of available airbags. Continue reading for details on the airbags in your car.  
The airbags are designed to work with the rest of the car's safety features. Their effectiveness especially relies on proper seating  
and seatbelt use. An airbag deployment is a sudden, forceful but controlled event that can significantly lower the risk of serious  
injury for correctly seated occupants.  
Warning  
The airbags cannot work as intended if an occupant is incorrectly seated in the event of a collision. Always use seatbelts.  
Sensors throughout your car allow it to deploy different airbags based on information about the collision itself, as well as the  
status of the car and its occupants.  
Airbag types  
Your car has the following airbag types:  
Frontal collision airbags for the front occupants.  
Front airbags  
Seat-integrated side-on collision airbags for the front occupants.  
Ceiling-mounted airbags for occupants seated by a window.  
Side airbags  
Inflatable curtains  
5.5.1. Airbag deployment  
If an airbag has deployed, your car needs to be recovered and serviced.  
When the car deploys an airbag, it inflates almost instantly with considerable force accompanied by a loud noise. After that  
point, it behaves differently depending on the type of airbag. The front and side airbags deflate as they are compressed and

provide controlled cushioning for a single severe impact. The inflatable curtains stay inflated longer to protect against repeated  
impacts.  
Warning  
Airbag-related injuries  
No safety feature can prevent all possible injuries in a collision. The airbags are designed to reduce the risk of severe injur-  
ies. Impacting an airbag often results in some form of injury, and several factors affect the type and severity of the injury.  
Reading the user manual allows you to recognise and avoid practices known to increase the risk of injury.  
To reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries in a collision:  
Follow the user manual’s instructions for proper seating and use of seatbelts.  
Learn the placement of all airbags and how they affect the use of your car.  
Do not store or place any objects in the airbag deployment areas.  
Do not make any modifications to the interior or electrical systems of your car that are not approved by Volvo.  
Note  
Deployment conditions  
Not all airbags may deploy in a collision. This is because different airbags require different conditions and forces to de-  
ploy. The severity of damage to the car after a collision is not a reliable indicator of whether any airbags should have  
deployed.  
Airbag gases and smoke  
The gas inside an airbag contains smoke that releases into the interior compartment when the airbag deflates.  
Always be attentive to signs of fire after a severe collision, but keep in mind that some smoke is normal if an airbag  
has deployed.  
After airbag deployment  
After a collision in which the airbags have deployed, prioritise the safety and medical needs of those involved in the accident.  
Before handling the car, contact an authorised Volvo workshop. Follow the user manual's instructions for safe handling and re-  
covery of a car that's immobilised or in safety mode.  
Important  
Safety mode  
The car can enter safety mode after certain collisions even without airbag deployment. The traction power supply is cut  
off in safety mode and the car cannot be driven.  
Do not try to move the car in safety mode. If the car poses an acute traffic hazard and is able to move, an exception can  
be made to move it a short distance out of immediate danger. Tow mode needs to be activated before towing the car.

5.5.2. Front airbags  
The front airbags are designed to deploy in certain frontal collisions. The front passenger airbag can be dis-  
abled to accommodate certain rearward-facing child restraints.  
The front airbags can help protect the driver and front passenger from severe injury if they are properly seated during a collision.  
The airbags on each side deploy independently of one another.  
The driver side airbag is packed inside the steering wheel.  
The passenger side airbag is packed behind a panel on the dashboard.  
All front airbag locations are marked with the text AIRBAG or SRS AIRBAG.  
Warning  
Do not block the front airbags  
Do not place luggage, children or pets in the space between the seated occupant and the front airbags, including in  
the occupant's lap.  
Legs or feet must never be placed on the dashboard. This could endanger life or lead to serious injury.  
Do not place or mount any items on the dashboard. Even small objects can become dangerous projectiles in a  
collision and end up between inflating airbags and occupants.  
Blocking airbags in general  
Keep all airbag locations and expansion spaces free of obstructions. Obstructions can reduce airbag effectiveness and  
cause serious injury.  
Follow the instructions for a correct sitting posture.  
Properly stow luggage and other objects. The car has several luggage compartments for safe stowing.  
Do not modify or mount accessories to any panel covering an airbag or adjacent panels.  
Passenger airbag switch  
You can enable or disable the front passenger airbag using the airbag switch. This also controls the side airbag on the passen-  
ger side and the inner side airbag on the driver's side. The passenger airbag needs to be disabled before you install a rearward-
