Safety

Airbags (SRS)

WARNING!

To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag

deploys, passengers must sit as upright

as possible with their feet on the floor and

backs against the backrest. Seatbelts

must be secured.

WARNING!

• Never place a child in a child seat or on

a booster cushion in the front seat if the

1

airbag (SRS) is activated.

• Never allow a child to stand or sit in

front of the front passenger seat.

• No one shorter than 140 cm should sit

in the front passenger seat if the airbag

(SRS) is activated.

Passenger airbag (SRS)

The passenger airbag is fitted behind a

panel above the glovebox. This panel is

marked SRS AIRBAG

4

The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental

Restraint System) in the steering wheel to

supplement the protection afforded by the

seatbelt. This airbag is fitted into the centre of

the steering wheel. The steering wheel is

marked SRS AIRBAG.

Failure to follow the advice given above

can endanger the life of the child.

1. For information on activated/deactivated

airbag (SRS), see page 18.

WARNING!

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a

seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,

this may diminish the protection provided

by the airbag in the event of a collision.

4.

Not all cars have a passenger airbag

(SRS). This can be unselected when

the car is ordered.

If the airbag warning lamp remains lit or

lights while driving, the airbag system is

not fully functional. The symbol can

authorised Volvo workshop as soon as

possible.

Work on the SRS system can cause

malfunction and result in serious personal

injury.

Repairs must only be performed by an

authorised Volvo workshop.

Airbags (SRS)

NOTE! The airbags have a function whereby

their capacities are adapted to the collision

force to which the vehicle is subjected.

NOTE! The sensors react differently

depending on the course of the collision and

whether the seatbelts on the driver and

passenger side are used. It is therefore

possible that only one (or none) of the

airbags may inflate in a collision. The SRS

system senses the force of the collision on

the car and adapts accordingly so that one or

more airbags is deployed.

SRS system

The SRS system consists of a gas generator

surrounded by an inflatable airbag. A suffi-

ciently violent collision trips sensors and

ignites the gas generator, inflating the airbag

with hot gas. To cushion the impact, the

airbag deflates when compressed. When this

occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is

completely normal. The entire process,

including inflation and deflation of the airbag,

occurs within tenths of a second.
