pg. 14 Safety
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Supplemental Restraint System
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt tensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, the occupant weight sensor, and
inflatable curtains. All of these systems are monitored by the SRS control module. An SRS warning light in the
instrument panel (see the illustration above) illuminates when the ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will
normally go out after approximately 7 seconds if no faults are detected in the system.
Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates. If this warning
symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol
illuminates and a text message will be displayed.
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.

The SRS warning light (see page 14) will come on and stay on
The message PASS. AIRBAG OFF SERVICE URGENT will be displayed in the information display.
WARNING!
If a fault in the system is detected and indicated as explained on the preceding page, be aware that the passenger's
side front airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS system and Occupant Weight
Sensor should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
WARNING!
Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. This could result in system malfunction.
Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
The front passenger's seat should not be modified in any way. This could reduce pressure on the seat cushion,
which might interfere with the OWS system's function.
pg. 19 Safety
Occupant Weight Sensor - disabling the passenger's side front airbag
a. Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. In rare
situations when the seat belt is not latched, some child restraint systems may not be detected by the OWS because there
is very little weight on the vehicle seat cushion. In these cases the airbag may be turned off but the "passenger airbag
off" indicator would not be lit. DO NOT assume the front passenger airbag is turned off unless the indicator is lit.
Make sure the child restraint is properly belted and that the indicator is lit, or move the child restraint to the rear seat.

NOTE:
The ROPS system is designed to function regardless of whether the power retractable hard top is up or down. By
design, the tops of the roll bars are equipped with a point in order to pierce the rear window if the top is up.
If ROPS has deployed, the system should be inspected and repaired if necessary by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
WARNING!
The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended for two occupants, and only two rear seat belts are provided. The center
section of the seat should never be used to seat a passenger.
No objects should be placed over the roll bars or behind the rear seat head restraints.
All repairs or maintenance to the ROPS system should only be performed by a trained Volvo service technician.
pg. 26 Safety
Collision status
Driving after a collision
If the car has been involved in a collision, the text CRASH STATUS SEE MANUAL may appear in the information
display. This indicates that the car's functionality has been reduced.
NOTE: This text can only be shown if the display is undamaged and the car's electrical system is intact.
COLLISION STATUS 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 tensioners) has deployed. The collision may have damaged an
important function in the car, such as the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety systems, the brake system, etc.
WARNING!
Never attempt to repair the car yourself or to reset the electrical system after the car has displayed CRASH
STATUS SEE MANUAL. This could result in injury or improper system function.
Restoring the car to normal operating status should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
After CRASH STATUS 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 car. Leave the car immediately.
ProCarManuals.com
Page 25 of 182
Attempting to start the car
If damage to the car is minor and there is no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the car. To do so:
Remove the ignition key.
Reinsert the key in the ignition switch. The car will then attempt to reset COLLISION STATUS to normal status.
Try to start the car.
Moving the car
If the electrical system is able to reset system status to normal (CRASH STATUS SEE MANUAL will no longer be
shown in the display), the car 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 car appears to be drivable after COLLISION STATUS 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 car should be transported on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for
inspection/repairs.
