Seatbelts; Airbags - Volvo V60 TWIN ENGINE 2019 Owner's Manual

SAFETY
Safety
The vehicle is equipped with several safety
systems that work together to protect the
vehicle's driver and passengers in the event
of an accident.
The car is equipped with a number of sensors
that react in the event of an accident and acti-
vate different safety systems, such as different
types of airbags and seatbelt tensioners.
Depending on the specific accident situation,
such as collisions at different angles, roll-over
or driving off the road, the systems react in dif-
ferent ways to provide good protection.
There are also mechanical safety systems
such as Whiplash Protection System. The car
is also constructed so that a large part of the
force of a collision is distributed to beams, pil-
lars, floor, roof and other parts of the body.
The car's safety mode may be activated after a
collision if an important function in the car has
been damaged.
Warning symbol in driver display
The warning symbol is illuminated in
the driver display when the car's
electrical system is set in ignition
position II. The symbol is extin-
guished after approx. 6 seconds if the car's
safety system is fault-free.
44
WARNING
If the warning symbol remains illuminated
or is switched on during driving and the
message SRS airbag Service urgent
Drive to workshop is shown in the driver
display, it means that part of one of the
safety systems does not have full function-
ality. Volvo recommends that an authorised
Volvo workshop should be contacted as
soon as possible.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the car's various
safety systems yourself. Defective work in
one of the systems can cause malfunction
and result in serious personal injury. Volvo
recommends that an authorised Volvo
workshop should be contacted.
If the specific warning symbol is bro-
ken then the general warning symbol
is illuminated instead and the driver
display shows the same message.
