WARNING!
· As its name implies, SRS is designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the three-
point belt system. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can
prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
· When installing any optional equipment, make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not
attempt to service any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious
personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for
inspection as soon as possible.
pg. 5 Volvo SRS
A self-diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors the SRS. This system does not, however,
monitor the SIPS airbags. If a fault is detected, the "SRS" warning light will illuminate. The light is
included in the warning/indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally, the SRS warning lamp
should light up when the ignition is switched on and should go out after 5 seconds or when the engine is
started. Check that this light is functioning properly every time the car is started.
The following items are monitored by the self-diagnostic system:
· Sensor unit
· Cable harness
· Gas generator igniters
WARNING!
● Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad / airbag housing.
● No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the
SRS cover in the center of the steering wheel, the SRS cover above the glove compartment or the area
affected by airbag deployment.
● If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are
driving, drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.
