As an enhancement to the three-point seat
belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS
consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air-
bags, side impact airbags, a front passenger
occupant weight sensor, and inflatable cur-
tains. All of these systems are monitored by
the SRS control module. An SRS warning
light in the instrument panel (see the illustra-
tion) illuminates when the ignition is in modes
I or II, and will normally go out after approxi-
mately 6 seconds if no faults are detected in
the system.
Where applicable, a text message will also be
displayed when the SRS warning light illumi-
nates. If this warning symbol is not function-
ing properly, the general warning symbol illu-
minates and a text message will be displayed.
See also page 77 for more information
about indicator and warning lights.
WARNING
•
If the SRS warning light stays on after
the engine has started or if it illumi-
nates while you are driving, have the
vehicle inspected by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician as
soon as possible.
•
Never try to repair any component or
part of the SRS yourself. Any interfer-
ence in the system could cause mal-
function and serious injury. All work on
these systems should be performed by
a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
