SAFETY
Starting/moving the car after safety
mode
If the car is in safety mode, it is possible to
attempt to reset the system in order to start and
move the car for a short distance, if in a danger-
ous traffic situation for example.
Starting the car after safety mode
1. Check the general damage situation of the
car and whether any fuel has been leaking.
There must be no smell of fuel either.
If there is only minor damage and a check
has revealed no fuel leaks, starting can be
attempted.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to
restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
Safety mode See Owner's manual
sage is shown in the driver display. Leave the
car at once.
2. Turn the start knob clockwise to switch off
the car.
3. Then try to start the car.
> The driver's display shows the message
Car start System check, wait
car's electronics carry out a systems
check and then try to resume normal sta-
tus. This can take up to one minute.

4. Then try to start the car again when the mes-
sage
Car start System check, wait
longer shown in the driver's display.
IMPORTANT
If the message
Safety mode See Owner's
manual
is still shown on the display the car
must not be driven or towed but a vehicle
recovery service must then be used instead.
Even if the car appears to be driveable, hid-
den damage may make the car impossible to
control once moving.
Moving the car after safety mode
1. If the driver display shows the message
Normal mode The car is now in normal
mode
after a start attempt, the car can be
mes-
carefully moved if standing in a dangerous
position.
2. Do not move the car further than necessary.
WARNING
If the car is in safety mode it must not be
towed. It must be transported from its loca-
tion. Volvo recommends that it is transported
while the
to an authorised Volvo workshop.

Child safety
is no
Volvo has child safety equipment (child seats,
booster cushions and attachment devices)
which is designed for fitting in this particular car.
Using Volvo's child safety equipment, the opti-
mum conditions are obtained for the child to
travel safely in the car. In addition, the child safety
equipment fits well and is simple to use.
Children of all ages and sizes must always sit
correctly secured in the car. Never allow a child to
sit on the knee of a passenger.
Volvo recommends that children travel in rear-
facing child seats until as late an age as possible,
at least up to 3-4 years of age, and then in front-
facing booster cushions/child seats until the
child is 140 cm tall.
NOTE
Legal provisions about the type of child seat
that must be used for children of different
ages and heights vary from country to coun-
try. Check what does apply.
NOTE
In the event of questions when fitting child
safety products, contact the manufacturer for
clearer instructions.
