Safety Mode; Reduced Functionality; Attempting To Start The Car; Moving The Car - Volvo XC60 Owner's Manual

Reduced functionality

If the car is involved in a collision, the text
Safety mode See manual
may appear on the
information display. This means that the car
has reduced functionality. Safety mode is a
protective state that is enforced when the col-
lision may have damaged any of the car's vital
functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors for
one of the safety systems, or the brake system.

Attempting to start the car

First, check that no fuel is leaking from the car.
There must be no smell of fuel either.
If everything seems normal and you have
checked for indications of fuel leakage, you
may attempt to start the car.
Firstly, remove the remote control key and then
reinsert it. The car's electronics will then try to
reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to
start the car. If the message Safety mode See
manual
is still shown on the display then the
car must not be driven or towed, but a vehicle
recovery service used instead. Even if the car
appears to be driveable, hidden damage may
make the car impossible to control once mov-
ing.

Moving the car

If Normal mode is shown after
See manual has been reset, the car can be
moved carefully out of a dangerous position.
Do not move the car further than necessary.
WARNING
Never attempt to repair your car or reset the
electronics yourself if the car has been in
safety mode. This could result in personal
injury or the car not functioning as normal.
Always allow an authorised Volvo workshop
to check and restore the car to normal sta-
