battery VOLVO S40 2000 Owners Manual

If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:
· Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed.
· Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components.
· Use only new, Genuine Volvo Parts when replacing SRS components (airbags, seat belts, tensioners, etc.).
When are the airbags NOT deployed?
Not all frontal collisions activate the SRS system. If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or
bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the SRS system will not necessarily deploy. Front airbags do not
normally deploy in a side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation. The amount of
damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not.
Seat belts the heart of the Volvo safety system
The heart of the Volvo safety system is the threepoint seat belt (a Volvo invention)! In order for the SRS system to
provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times by everyone in the car. The SRS system is a
supplement to the seat belts.
WARNING!
If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle)
or if your car has become flooddamaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition
before disconnecting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal
injury. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.
Before attempting to tow the car, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear
selector to the neutral position.
· Disconnect the battery
· Wait at least one minute
· Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position 1
· Press firmly on the shiftlock override button (located near the base of the gear selector).
· While holding the override button down, move the gear selector from the park position.
WARNING!
Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car. Other safety
systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye
irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.

alarm will be set after 2 minutes unless the door has been opened.
Batteries
Each remote transmitter is powered by two three-volt batteries, type CR 2016. If the range of the transmitter is
noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak and should be replaced.
Replacement: Open the remote control by twisting a coin in the ring between front and back (leave the ring in place).
Replace the batteries. Reinstall the cover, making sure it is secured tightly to help protect the transmitter.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to service or repair any components of the alarm system yourself. This should only be
done by an authorized Volvo retailer.

ProCarManuals.com

PCV system
The orifice nipple in the intake manifold and the filter at the end of the PCV hose in the air cleaner should be
inspected at 60,000 miles (96,000 km) and thereafter, at 30,000 mile (48,000 km) intervals.
Cabin air filter
Replace the cabin air filter with a new one according every 15,000 miles (24,000 km). Volvo recommends replacing
the filter more often if the car is driven under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore
should always be replaced with a new one.
