monitor the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. If a fault i\
s detected, the warning light will
illuminate. The light is included in the warning/indicator light cluster\
in the instrument panel. Normally,
the SRS warning lamp should light up when the ignition key is turned to \
positions I, II or III and should
go out after 7 seconds or when the engine is started. Check that this li\
ght is functioning properly every
time the car is started.
The following items are monitored by the self-diagnostic system:
l Sensor unit
l Cable harness
l Gas generator igniters
WARNING!
l Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pa\
d / airbag housing.
l No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached t\
o or installed near the
SRS cover in the center of the steering wheel, the SRS cover above the g\
love compartment or the area
affected by airbag deployment.
l If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it \
comes on while you are
driving, drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for insp\
ection as soon as possible.



There is no maintenance to perform on the SRS yourself. The month and ye\

cific servicing or replacement of
airbags and seat belt tensioners. This service must be performed by an a\
uthorized Volvo retailer.
