If the message appears after
an attempt has been made to start the engine,
Starting the vehicle after a crash (p. 45), the
vehicle may be moved carefully from its pres-
ent position, if for example, it is blocking traf-
fic. 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

02 Safety

Child safety

Children should always be seated safely when
traveling in the vehicle.
General information
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint
systems (p. 47) for all occupants including
children. Remember that, regardless of age
and size, a child should always be properly
restrained in a vehicle.
Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/
LATCH attachments (p. 54), which make it
more convenient to install child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are
designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap
belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt.
Such child restraint systems can help protect
children in vehicles in the event of an acci-
dent only if they are used properly. However,
children could be endangered in a crash if the
child restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle. Failure to follow the installation
instructions for your child restraint can result
in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a
sudden stop.
Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable
substitute for a child restraint system. In an
accident, a child held in a person's arms can
be crushed between the vehicle's interior and
an unrestrained person. The child could also
be injured by striking the interior, or by being
ejected from the vehicle during a sudden
maneuver or impact. The same can also hap-
