01 SafetySupplemental Restraint System (SRS)
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 78 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 109
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.

WARNING
•
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children under 4 feet 7 inches
(140 cm) in height who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt fastened.
•
Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked
and keep remote controls out of a
child’s reach. Unsupervised children
could lock themselves in an open trunk
and risk injury. Children should be
taught not to play in vehicles.
•
On hot days, the temperature in the
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure to these high temperatures
for even a short period of time can
cause heat-related injury or death.
Small children are particularly at risk.
Automatic Locking Retractor/
Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/
ELR)To make child seat installation easier, each
seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equip-
ped with a locking mechanism to help keep the
seat belt taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child
seat:1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat
according to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the
buckle (lock) in the usual way.
4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around
the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be
audible at this time and is normal. The belt will
now be locked in place. This function is auto-
matically disabled when the seat belt is
unlocked and the belt is fully retracted.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend that
children who have outgrown these devices
sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly
fastened.Volvo's recommendationsWhy does Volvo believe that no child should sit
in the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite simple
really. A front airbag is a very powerful device
designed, by law, to help protect an adult.Because of the size of the airbag and its speed
of inflation, a child should never be placed in
the front seat, even if he or she is properly bel-
ted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo
has been an innovator in safety for over sev-
enty-five years, and we'll continue to do our
part. But we need your help. Please remember
to put your children in the back seat, and
buckle them up.
Volvo has some very specific
recommendations:•
Always wear your seat belt.
•
Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety
device which, when used with a three-
point seat belt can help reduce serious
injuries during certain types of accidents.
Volvo recommends that you do not dis-
connect the airbag system in your vehicle.
•
Volvo strongly recommends that everyone
in the vehicle be properly restrained.
•
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants
(adults and children) shorter than 4 feet
7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back
seat of any vehicle with a front passenger
side airbag.
Drive safely!

IntroductionTwo remote keys or optional Personal Car
Communicators (PCC) are provided with your
vehicle. They enable you to unlock the doors
and trunk, and also function as ignition keys to
start the vehicle or operate electrical compo-
nents. 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 valet locking func-
tion. See page 55 for more information on the
key blade and page see page 57 for informa-tion on the valet 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.

NOTE
If none of the indicator lights flash when the
information button has been pressed sev-
eral times from different places in relation to
the vehicle, contact an authorized Volvo
service technician.The indicator lights
provide information
according to the illustration:
G030262
Steady green light: the vehicle is correctly
locked.Steady yellow light: the vehicle is not
locked.Alternatively flashing red lights (Heartbeat
sensor): if the two heartbeat sensor lights
flash, this indicates that someone may beinside the vehicle. These lights are only
activated if the alarm has been triggered.
Steady red light: the alarm has been trig-
gered.
RangeThe PCC's lock and unlock functions have a
range of approximately 60 ft. (20 m) from the
vehicle.
NOTE
•
The approach lighting, panic alarm, and
the functions controlled by the informa-
tion button have a range of approxi-
mately 300 ft (100 m) from the vehicle.
•
Buildings or other obstacles may inter-
fere with the function of the PCC.
Outside of the PCC´s rangeIf the PCC is more than approximately 300 ft
(100 m) from the vehicle when the information
button is pressed, no new information will be
received. The PCC most recently used to lock
or unlock the vehicle will show the vehicle's
most recently received status. The indicator
lights will not flash when the information button
is pressed while the PCC is out of range.If more than one PCC is used to lock/unlock
the vehicle, only the one used most recently will
show the correct locking status.
NOTE
If none of the indicator lights illuminate when
the information button is pressed, this may
be because the most recent transmission
between the vehicle and the PCC was inter-
rupted or impeded by buildings or other
objects.Heartbeat SensorThe heartbeat sensor function
is a comple-
ment to the vehicle's standard alarm, and indi-
cates at a distance of up to 300 ft (100 m) that
someone may be in the vehicle. The heartbeat
sensor only functions if the alarm has been
triggered.
NOTE
The heartbeat sensor registers a person's
heartbeat in the form of vibrations in the
vehicle's chassis. For this reason, the sen-
sor's function may be impaired in areas with
high levels of noise or vibrations.Keyless driveVehicles equipped with the optional Personal
