The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. A number of factorssuch as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speedof the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how thedifferent safety systems of the car are activated.
If the airbags (p. 28) have deployed, the fol- lowing is recommended: • Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an author-ised Volvo workshop. Do not drive withdeployed airbags.
• Volvo recommends that you engage anauthorised Volvo workshop to handle thereplacement of components in the car'ssafety systems.
• Always contact a doctor.
NOTE
The airbags and belt tensioner system are deployed only once during a collision.
WARNING
The airbag system's control module is located in the centre console. If the centreconsole is drenched with water or otherliquid, disconnect the battery cables. Donot attempt to start the car since the air-bags may deploy. Recovering the car.Volvo recommends that you have it con-veyed to an authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Never drive with deployed airbags. They can make steering difficult. Other safetysystems may also be damaged. Thesmoke and dust created when the airbagsare deployed can cause skin and eye irrita-tion/injury after intensive exposure. In caseof irritation, wash with cold water. Therapid deployment sequence and airbagfabric may cause friction and skin burns.

Child seats - location
Always fit child seats/booster cushions (p. 40) in the rear seat if the passenger airbag is acti-vated (p. 30). If a child is sitting on the frontpassenger seat then he/she could suffer seri-ous injury if the airbag deploys.
The label for the airbag becomes visible when the passenger door is opened, see illustration (p.30). You may place:
• a child seat/booster cushion on the front passenger seat provided there is no acti-vated airbag on the front passenger side.
• one or more child seats/booster cushionsin the rear seat.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the air-bag (SRS) is activated. No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag(SRS) is activated. Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life.
WARNING
Booster cushions/child seats with steel braces or some other design that couldrest on the seatbelt buckle's opening but-ton must not be used, as they could causethe seatbelt buckle to open accidentally. Do not allow the upper section of the child seat to rest against the windscreen.

A flashing symbol in any other situation means that a fault has arisen. Read the mes-sage on the information display. For more information, see Parking brake (p. 293).
Airbags – SRSIf this symbol remains illuminated or illumi-nates while driving, it means a fault has beendetected in the seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS, orIC systems. Drive immediately to a workshopto have the system checked. Volvo recom-mends that you seek assistance from anauthorised Volvo workshop.
Seatbelt reminderThis symbol flashes if someone in a front seathas not put on their seatbelt or if someone ina rear seat has taken off their seatbelt.
Alternator not chargingThis symbol illuminates during driving if afault has occurred in the electrical system.Visit a workshop. Volvo recommends that youseek assistance from an authorised Volvoworkshop.
Fault in brake systemIf this symbol illuminates, the brake fluid levelmay be too low. Stop the car in a safe placeand check the level in the brake fluid reser-voir; see Brake and clutch fluid - level (p.350). If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at the same time, there may be a fault in thebrake force distribution system.
1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn offthe engine.
2. Restart the engine.
•If both symbols extinguish, continue driving.
• If the symbols remain illuminated,check the level in the brake fluid reser-voir, see Brake and clutch fluid - level(p. 350). If the brake fluid level is nor-mal but the symbols are still illumi-nated, the car can be driven, with greatcare, to a workshop to have the brakesystem checked. Volvo recommendsthat you seek assistance from anauthorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
If the brake fluid is under the
MIN level in
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive fur- ther before topping up the brake fluid. The loss of brake fluid must be investiga- ted by a workshop. Volvo recommendsthat you contact an authorised Volvoworkshop.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS symbols are lit at the same time, there is a risk that the rearend will skid during heavy braking.
WarningThe red warning symbol illuminates when a fault has been indicated which could affectthe safety and/or driveability of the car. Anexplanatory text is shown on the informationdisplay at the same time. The symbol remainsvisible until the fault has been rectified but thetext message can be cleared with the OK
