SAFETY INFORMATION
63
When is the Airbag not Deployed?
Not all frontal collisions activate the SRS system. In a collision with a soft object (a snow
drift or bush for example, or a hard or fixed object at low speed), there is no need for the SRS
system to be activated. The airbag is usually not inflated in response to side-on collisions,
impacts from the rear or if the vehicle overturns. The extent of damage to the vehicle is no
measure of how well the SRS system works.
Can the Airbag be Deployed Accidentally?
The complete SRS system is constructed so that the airbag only inflates in particular
collision conditions. The SRS system has its own diagnostic unit which continuously
monitors the functioning of the system.
Heart of the Volvo Safety System
The three-point anchored safety belt is the heart of the Volvo safety system. The belt
should be worn at all times. The SRS system is intended as a supplement to the three-point
anchored safety belt.
