WARNING!
· As its name implies, SRS is designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the three-
point belt system. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can
prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
· When installing any optional equipment, make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not

personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for
inspection as soon as possible.
