module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustration above) illuminates when the
ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will normally go out after approximately 7 seconds if
no faults are detected in the system.
Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates. If this
warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol
illuminates and a text
message will be displayed.
WARNING!
●
If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminates 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 interference in the system
could cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by an
authorized Volvo service technician.

If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/ standing water on the
floor of the vehicle) or if your vehicle has become flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start
the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before disconnecting the battery (see below). This may cause
airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician for repairs.
