Driving after a collision
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, the text Safety mode See manual may appear in the information display. This indicates that the vehicle's functionality has been reduced.
NOTE
This text can only be shown if the display is
undamaged and the vehicle's electrical system
is intact.
Safety mode is a feature that is triggered if one or more of the safety systems (e.g. front or side airbags, an inflatable curtain, or one or more of the seat belt pretensioners) has deployed. The collision may have damaged an important function in the vehicle, such as the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety systems, the brake system, etc.
WARNING
• Never attempt to repair the vehicle
yourself or to reset the electrical system
after the vehicle has displayed Safety
mode See manual. This could result in
injury or improper system function.
• Restoring the vehicle to normal operating
status should only be done by a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
• After Safety mode See manual has
been displayed, if you detect the odor
of fuel vapor, or see any signs of fuel
leakage, do not attempt to start the
vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.
