General Information On Safety Mode - Volvo V70 Owner's Manual

WARNING
The airbag system's control module is
located in the centre console. If the centre
console is drenched with water or other
liquid, disconnect the battery cables. Do
not attempt to start the car since the air-
bags may deploy. Recovering the car.
Volvo recommends that you have it con-
veyed to an authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Never drive with deployed airbags. They
can make steering difficult. Other safety
systems may also be damaged. The
smoke and dust created when the airbags
are deployed can cause skin and eye irrita-
tion/injury after intensive exposure. In case
of irritation, wash with cold water. The
rapid deployment sequence and airbag
fabric may cause friction and skin burns.

aged any of the car's vital functions such as,
for example, the fuel lines, sensors for one of
the safety systems, or the brake system.
