Volvo 1991 740 Model
Volvo SRS
(optional in Canada)
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of a driver's side airbag with a driver's side knee
bolster. The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt
system.
The interior of an SRS-equipped Volvo looks very much the same as any other. The only indications of
the system's presence are the "SRS" embossed on the steering wheel pad, and the knee bolster beneath
the steering column.
The airbag is folded and located in the center of the steering wheel. It is released only during certain
frontal or front-angular collisions, depending upon the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted.
WARNING!
As its name implies, SRS is designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the three-
point belt system. The airbag is designed not to be released in the event of a side or rear-end collision,
or during a rollover situation.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.
