combined instrument panel
The AIRBAG system is monitored continu-
ously by the car's electronic control system.
The warning symbol on the combined
instrument panel lights when the ignition key
is turned to position I, II or III. The symbol
goes out after about six seconds if the
AIRBAG system is working correctly.
WARNING!
If the warning symbol for the AIRBAG
system remains on or comes on while
driving, it means that the AIRBAG
system is not functioning fully. The
symbol can indicate a fault in the
seatbelt buckle, SIPS, SRS or IC
system. Contact an authorised Volvo
workshop immediately.
As well as the warning
symbol, a message appears
on the information display. If
the warning symbol malfunc-
tions, the warning triangle
comes on and the message
SRS AIRBAG SERVICE
URGENT appears on the
display. Contact an
authorised Volvo workshop immediately.
