gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates
when compressed. When this occurs, smoke
escapes into the car. This is completely nor-
mal. The entire process, including inflation and
deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of
a second.
WARNING
Repairs must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop. Any interfer-
ence in the airbag system could cause mal-
function and result in serious personal
injury.
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on
the course of the collision and whether or
not the seatbelts on the driver and passen-
ger side are used.
It is therefore possible that only one (or
none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli-
sion. The airbag system senses the force of
the collision on the car and adapts accord-
ingly so that one or more airbags are
deployed.
The capacity of the airbags is also adapted
to the collision force to which the vehicle is
subjected.

Airbag on the driver's side
The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) on the driver's side to sup-
plement the protection afforded by the seat-
belt. This airbag is fitted into the centre of the
steering wheel. The steering wheel is marked
SRS AIRBAG.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by the
airbag in the event of a collision.
