0118
General information
G022831
Warning symbols in the instrument panelAs an enhancement to the three-point seat
belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS
consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air-
bags, side impact airbags, a front passenger
occupant weight sensor, and inflatable cur-
tains. All of these systems are monitored by the
SRS control module. An SRS warning light in
the instrument panel (see the illustration) illu-
minates when the ignition is in modes I,II, or
III, and will normally go out after approximately
6 seconds if no faults are detected in the sys-
tem.
Where applicable, a text message will also be
displayed when the SRS warning light illumi-
nates. If this warning symbol is not functioningproperly, the general warning symbol illumi-
nates and a text message will be displayed.
See also page 72 and page 74 for more
information about indicator and warning sym-
bols.
WARNING
•
If the SRS warning light stays on after
the engine has started or if it illuminates
while you are driving, have the vehicle
inspected by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician as soon as
possible.
•
Never try to repair any component or
part of the SRS yourself. Any interfer-
ence in the system could cause mal-
function and serious injury. All work on
these systems should be performed by
a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
WARNING
If your vehicle has been subjected to flood
conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your
vehicle has become flood-damaged in any
way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or
insert the remote control into the ignition
slot before disconnecting the battery (see
below). This may cause airbag deployment
which could result in personal injury. Have
the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for repairs.
Automatic transmission:
Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use
the following procedure to override the
shiftlock system to move the gear selector
to the neutral position:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the battery
2. Wait at least one minute.
3. Insert the remote key into the ignition
slot and press the Start button (without
depressing brake pedal) to go to ignition
modeII. See page 77 for more infor-
mation.
4. Press firmly on the brake pedal.
5.
Move the gear selector from Park (P) to
the Neutral (N) position. see page 107
for information on manually overriding
the shiftlock system.

G022831
Driving after a collisionIf 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 importantfunction 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 func-
tion.
•
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 vehicleIf 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 vehicleIf the electrical system is able to reset system
status to normal (
SAFETY MODE SEE
MANUAL
will no longer be shown in the dis-
play), the vehicle may be moved carefully from
its present 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.

IntroductionTwo remote keys or optional Personal Car
Communicators (PCC) are provided with your
vehicle. They enable you to unlock the doors
and tailgate, and also function as ignition keys
to start the vehicle or operate electrical com-
ponents. The remote keys contain detachable
metal key blades for manually locking or
unlocking the driver's door and the glove com-
partment. Up to six remotes can be pro-
grammed for use on the same vehicle.
The PCCs have enhanced functionality com-
pared with the standard remote control.
NOTE
In the remainder of this chapter, all referen-
ces to the remote key also pertain to the
PCC unless otherwise stated.
WARNING
Never leave the remote key in the ignition if
children are to remain in the vehicle.Detachable key bladeEach remote key or PCC contains a detachable
metal key blade for mechanically locking or
unlocking the driver's door and the glove com-
partment, and to enable the private locking
function. See page 57 for more information
on the key blade and page 59 for informationon the private locking function. The key blades
have a unique code, which is used if new ones
need to be produced. This code is available at
an authorized Volvo retailer.
Loss of a remote keyIf a remote key is lost, the other one must be
taken with the vehicle to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician. As an anti-theft
measure, the code of the lost remote must be
erased from the system.
The number of registered keys for the vehicle

door mirrors will automatically move to the
position that they were in when the doors were
most recently locked with the same remote

Immobilizer (start inhibitor)Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle
contains a coded transponder. The code in the
key is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition
slot where it is compared to the code stored in
the start inhibitor module. The vehicle will start
only with a properly coded key. If you misplace
a key, take the other keys to a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician for reprog-
ramming as an antitheft measure. The follow-
ing messages (which may appear in the
