630 If something happens
Airbag
The air bag is to be inspected and if necessary
replaced, by an authorised Volvo workshop at the
year and month noted on the label mounted on the
door frame. This must be done to ensure full
functionality after the stated date. Do not do any work
on this system yourself.
When is the airbag inflated?
The airbag inflates only in the case of a head-on
collision with a fixed or heavy object.
If the airbag has inflated:
• Tow the truck to a Volvo workshop. Do not drive
with a deployed airbag.
• Have an authorised Volvo workshop change the
components in the system.
• Only Volvo original spares should be used when
components are changed (airbag, belts etc.).
When is the airbag not inflated?
• In the case of a collision with a soft object, such as
a snow drift or thicket.
• In the case of a collision at low speed.
• In the case of a collision from the side, being driven
into from the rear or if the truck should overturn.
Superficial damage to the bodywork is not an
indication of whether the system functioned or not.
Warning!
If the truck is equipped with an
air bag, this is not a replacement
for the ordinary seat belt! The
airbag is not inflated during a
rear-end collision, side collision
or if the truck rolls over.
Always use the seat belt!
Caution!
Never drive with a deployed
airbag. By hanging out, it can
make steering the vehicle
difficult. Other safety systems
may also be damaged. The smoke
and dust caused by triggering the
airbag can cause skin and eye
irritation with long-term
exposure.
