When do the airbags and curtains inflate?
In the event of a collision, the airbag-system sensor evaluates the level of
braking and deceleration caused by the collision.
Note that it is not only the deformation of the bodywork which affects
the cars sensors but also the speed reduction at the moment of impact.
This means that the SRS sensor senses those occasions when there is a
risk that occupants in the front seats may be injured by blows against the
dashboard or steering wheel.
The above applies to the SIPS system (side airbags), and inflatable
curtains except that side impact airbags and inflatable curtains are only
deployed in side-on collisions, when the car is hit by an object with
sufficient force.
NOTE! Deployment of the SRS, SIPS and IC systems occurs only once
in a collision in the relevant direction.
If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:
· Have the car towed to an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not drive
the car with the airbags deployed even if the car can be driven after an
accident.
· Entrust replacement of SRS, SIPS and IC-system components to an
authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING!
Never drive with deployed airbags! They can hinder the steering
of your car. Other safety systems may also be damaged. Intensive
exposure to the smoke and dust released when the airbags are
deployed can cause eye and skin irritation. If irritated, wash with
cold water and/or contact a doctor. The speed of deployment can, in
conjunction with the airbag fabric, cause friction burns to the skin.
WARNING!
The airbag-system control module is located in the centre console.
If the centre console has become soaked with water, disconnect the
battery cables in the cargo compartment. Have the car towed to an
authorised Volvo workshop.
