pg. 5 Volvo SRS
A self -diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors the SRS. The system, however, does not 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.
