Airbag system
SRS system, left-hand drive
SRS system, right-hand drive
The SRS system consists of airbags and sen-
sors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the
sensors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot
gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag de-
flates when compressed. When this occurs,
smoke escapes into the car. This is com-
pletely normal. The entire process, including
inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs
within tenths of a second.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the air-
bag is activated.1
Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of
the front passenger seat. No one shorter
than 140 cm should ever sit in the front pas-
senger seat if the airbag is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger the life of the child.
1For information on how to activate/deactivate
the airbag, see page 18.

WARNING
Repairs must only be performed by an au-
thorised Volvo workshop. Any interference
in the airbag system could cause malfunc-
tion and result in serious personal injury.
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on
the course of the collision and whether or
not the seatbelts on the driver and passen-
ger side are used.
It is therefore possible that only one (or
none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli-
sion. The airbag system senses the force of
the collision on the car and adapts accord-
ingly so that one or more airbags is de-
ployed.
The capacity of the airbags is also adapted
to the collision force to which the vehicle is
subjected.
