WARNING! When installing any optional equipment make sure that the SRS system is not damaged.
Do not attempt to service any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in
serious personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo Retailer for
inspection as soon as possible.
pg. 3:5 Volvo SRS
A self-diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors the SRS. This system does not, however,
monitor the SIPS airbags. If a fault is detected, the "SRS" warning light will illuminate. The light is
included in the warning/indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally, the SRS warning lamp
should light up when the ignition is switched on and should go out after 10 seconds or when the engine
is started. Check that this light is functioning properly every time the car is started.
The following items are monitored by all the self-diagnostic system:
Sensor unit
Cable harness
Gas generator ignitors
WARNING!
Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag housing.
If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving,
drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.
