Important
Wheels off the ground
Regardless of your car's condition, it must be transported with all wheels off the ground when recovered. Forced wheel
rotation during transportation can severely damage the car.
Keep a safe distance
Do not allow anyone to stand directly behind your car if it is pulled onto the recovery vehicle.
[1]
For urgent recovery needs, you can also directly contact a recovery and roadside assistance service.
14.5. Safety mode
If your car detects damage that compromises safety, it can enter safety mode.
Safety mode limits the available functions when your car has sustained damage. The car must undergo damage assessment
and repairs[1] if safety mode has been activated. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if safety mode has been activated for
any reason.
The displays clearly indicate when the car is in safety mode, if they are still functioning.
When safety mode is active, you cannot drive the car. However, if you need to move your car out of immediate danger, you can
try to exit safety mode by restarting your car. Driving the car after safety mode has been deactivated should be done with cau-
tion and only for very short distances, such as to the side of the road.
Important
When you exit safety mode, the car performs a safety check-up. This is communicated in the driver display. If the check-
up fails, you cannot exit safety mode to move the car.
Warning
Do not tow the car without first activating tow mode. This is done in the centre display.
Resetting your car's status without performing damage assessment and repairs can result in further damage to the
car as well as personal injury.
