Driving after a collision

If the vehicle has been involved in a collision,

the text

Safety mode See manual may

appear in the information display. This indi-

cates that the vehicle's functionality has been

reduced.

NOTE

This text can only be shown if the display is

undamaged and the vehicle's electrical sys-

tem is intact.

Safety mode is a feature that is triggered if one

or more of the safety systems (e.g. front or side

airbags, an inflatable curtain, or one or more of

the seat belt pretensioners) has deployed. The

collision may have damaged an important

function in the vehicle, such as the fuel lines,

sensors for one of the safety systems, the

brake system, etc.

WARNING

•

Never attempt to repair the vehicle

yourself or to reset the electrical system

after the vehicle has displayed

Safety

mode See manual

. This could result in

injury or improper system function.

•

Restoring the vehicle to normal operat-

ing status should only be done by a

trained and qualified Volvo service tech-

nician.

•

After Safety mode See manual has

been displayed, if you detect the odor

of fuel vapor, or see any signs of fuel

leakage, do not attempt to start the

vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.

Attempting to start the vehicle

If damage to the vehicle is minor and there is

no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the

vehicle. To do so:

1. Remove the remote control from the igni-

tion slot.

2. Reinsert the remote in the ignition slot. The

vehicle will then attempt to reset Safety

mode to normal status.

3. Try to start the vehicle.

Moving the vehicle

If the electrical system is able to reset system

status to normal (

Safety mode See manual

will no longer be shown in the display), the

vehicle may be moved carefully from its pres-

ent position, if for example, it is blocking traffic.

It should, however, not be moved farther than

is absolutely necessary.

WARNING

Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable

after Safety mode has been set, it should

not be driven or towed (pulled by another

vehicle). There may be concealed damage

that could make it difficult or impossible to

control. The vehicle should be transported

on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and quali-

fied Volvo service technician for inspection/

repairs.
