Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
If this light comes on while the car is being driven, or remains on for longer than approximately 10 seconds after the
car has been started, the SRS systemÕs diagnostic functions have detected a fault in a seat belt lock or tensioner, a
front airbag, side impact airbag, and/or an inflatable curtain. Have the system(s) inspected by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician as soon as possible.

Messages in the text window
When a warning light in the instrument panel comes on, a message is also displayed in the text window. After you
have read the message, you can erase it by pressing button A (see illustration above).
NOTE: Certain messages cannot be erased until the condition has been corrected.
Warning messages override text messages from any car feature that also uses the text window. A warning message
must be acknowledged (erased) before you can access the feature of your choice. Press button A to erase the warning
message.
Erased messages are stored in the system's memory until the required action has been taken. You can scroll through
the stored messages by pressing button A. The text window can be cleared (the message will be returned to memory)
by pressing button A again.
