Safety
Crash mode
Driving after a collision
If the car is involved in a collision, the text
CRASH MODE-SEE MANUAL may appear
on the information display. This means that
the car has reduced functionality. CRASH
MODE is a protective state that is enforced
when the collision may have damaged the
car’s vital functions, such as the fuel lines,
sensors for one of the safety systems, or the
brake system.
Attempting to start the car
First, check that no fuel is leaking from the
car. There should be no smell of fuel.
If everything seems normal and you have
checked for indications of fuel leakage, you
may attempt to start the car.
Firstly, remove the ignition key and then
reinsert it. The car’s electronics will then try to
reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to
start the car. If CRASH MODE is still shown
in the display then the car must not be driven
or towed. Even if the car appears to be
driveable, hidden damage may make the car
impossible to control once moving.
Moving the car
If NORMAL MODE is shown after CRASH
MODE has been reset, the car can be moved
carefully out of a dangerous position. Do not
move the car further than necessary.
WAR NI NG!
Never attempt to repair your car or reset
the electronics yourself if the car has been
in CRASH MODE. This could result in
personal injury or the car not functioning
as normal. Always allow an authorised
Volvo workshop to check and restore the
car to normal status after CRASH MODE
has been displayed.
WAR NI NG!
Never, under any circumstances, attempt
to restart the car if it smells of fuel when
the CRASH MODE message is displayed.
Leave the car at once.
WAR NI NG!
If the car is in CRASH MODE it must not
be towed. It must be transported to an
authorised Volvo workshop.
