Child Safety - Volvo S40 Owner's Manual

2007 Volvo S40
Never attempt to repair the vehicle yourself or to reset the electrical system after the vehicle has
displayed CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL. This could result in injury or improper system function.
Restoring the vehicle to normal operating mode should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
After CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL has been displayed, if you detect the odor of fuel vapor, or see
any signs of fuel leakage, do not attempt to start the vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.
Attempting to start the vehicle
If damage to the vehicle is minor and there is no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the vehicle. To do
so:
1. Remove the ignition key or optional keyless drive start control (see
2. Reinsert the key or start control in the ignition switch. The vehicle will then attempt to reset CRASH
MODE to normal mode.
3. Try to start the vehicle.
Moving the vehicle
If the electrical system is able to reset system status to normal (CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL will no
longer be displayed), the vehicle may be moved carefully from its present position, if for example, it is
blocking traffic. It should, however, not be moved farther than is absolutely necessary.
WARNING
Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after CRASH MODE has been set, it should not be driven or
towed (pulled by another vehicle). There may be concealed damage that could make it difficult or
impossible to control. The vehicle should be transported on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for inspection/ repairs.
