2001 Volvo S80
WARNING!
· Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your
car. Other safety systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are
deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.
· If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor
of the vehicle) or if your car 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. This may cause airbag
deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer
for repairs.
*A SIPS airbag warning decal is also located at the end of the instrument panel on the driver's side of the
car.
