WARNING
If your vehicle has become water-damaged in any way (e.g., soaked floor mats/stand-ing water on the floor of the vehicle), donot attempt to start the engine. This maycause airbag deployment, which couldresult in serious injury. Volvo recommendstowing the vehicle directly to an authorizedVolvo workshop. Before attempting to tow the vehicle:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least 10minutes and disconnect the battery.
2. Follow the instructions for manually overriding the shiftlock system.
Deployed airbags
WARNING
If any of the airbags have deployed:
Do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Have it towed to an authorized work-shop.
If necessary, seek medical attention.

Driver/passenger-side airbags
As a supplement to the seat belts, the vehicle is equipped with driver and passenger sidefront airbags.
Driver/passenger side front airbags.
In a frontal collision, the airbags help protect the driver's and passenger's head, neck, faceand chest and the driver's knees and legs. A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trigger the sensors and one or more airbagswill inflate. The airbag helps cushion the initial impact of the collision for the passenger. The airbag deflates when compressed by the colli-sion. A small amount of powder will also bereleased from the airbag. This may appear to be smoke and is normal. The entire process, from inflation to deflation of the airbag, occurswithin tenths of a second.
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on the circumstances of the accident andwhether or not the seat belt is used. Thisapplies to all belt positions. There may therefore be accident situations in which only one (or none) of the airbagsare deployed. The sensors monitor theimpact of the collision and react accord-ingly to deploy one, several or no airbags.
WARNING
The seat belt and the airbag work together. If the seat belt is not used or is used incor-rectly, the airbag may not provide theintended protection in a collision. To help prevent injury in the event the air- bag is deployed, passengers should sit asupright as possible, with their feet on thefloor and their backs against the seat back-rest.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an author- ized Volvo workshop for repairs. Incorrectlyperformed repairs to the airbag systemcould impair function and lead to seriousinjury.

of a properly seated occupant and determine if the passenger's side front airbag should beenabled (may inflate) or disabled (will notinflate). The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas- senger's side front airbag when:
the front passenger's seat is unoccupied,or has small/medium objects in the frontseat,
the system determines that an infant ispresent in a rear-facing infant seat that isinstalled according to the manufacturer'sinstructions,
the system determines that a small child ispresent in a forward-facing child restraintthat is installed according to the manufac-turer's instructions,
the system determines that a small child ispresent in a booster seat,
a front passenger takes his/her weight offof the seat for a period of time,
a child or a small person occupies thefront passenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFFindicator lamp which will illuminate and stayon to remind you that the passenger's sidefront airbag is disabled. The PASSENGERAIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located in theoverhead console, near the base of the rear-view mirror.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS indicator light will illuminate for sev-eral seconds while the system performs aself-diagnostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
The OWS indicator light will stay on.
The SRS warning light will come on and stay on and a text message will be dis-played.
WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indi- cated as described, be aware that the pas-senger's side front airbag will not deploy inthe event of a collision. In this case, theSRS system and Occupant Weight Sensorshould be inspected by a trained and quali-fied Volvo service technician as soon aspossible.
WARNING
Never try to open, remove or repair any components in the OWS system. Thiscould cause the system to malfunction.Maintenance or repairs should only becarried out by an a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.
The front passenger's seat should notbe modified in any way. This couldreduce pressure on the seat cushion,which might interfere with the OWSsystem's function.

Owner's manual is still displayed, the
vehicle should not be driven or towed behind another vehicle. If the vehicle needsto be moved, it must be towed on a towtruck. Even if no damage is apparent, theremay be hidden damage that could makethe vehicle impossible to control.
Moving the vehicle when it is in safety mode
1. If the message Normal mode The
vehicle is now in normal mode is dis-
played after attempting to start the engine, the vehicle may be moved care-fully from its present position if, for exam-ple, it is blocking traffic.
