1994 Volvo 850
WARNING! Do not use child safety seats or child boosters cushions/backrests in the front passenger's
seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt properly fastened.
NOTE: Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where
deployment occurs, the air bags and seat belt tensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount
of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal
characteristic and does not indicate fire.
WARNING! (Passenger side air bag)
● Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the
instrument panel or otherwise sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort
allows and be against the seat back with the seat properly fastened.
● Feet must be on the floor, e.g. not on the dash, seat or out of the window.
● Children must never be allowed to stand in front of the passenger seat.
● No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dash covers, may be placed on, attached to or installed near
the SRS hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by air bag deployment (see
illustration).
● There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area.
● Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger side SRS hatch. This should
only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician.

When are the airbags deployed?
The SRS system is designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or
decelerations, depending in the crash severity, angle, speed, and object impacted. The SRS sensor is
designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it and to
determine if the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the airbags to be deployed.
NOTE: The SRS system activates only once in a collision.
If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:
● Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Even if it can be driven after an accident we do
not recommend driving the car with deployed airbags.
● Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components.
