Pedestrian Airbag - Moving The Car - Volvo V40 Owner's Manual

NOTE
There may be objects in the traffic environ-
ment that prompt a signal to the sensors
that is similar to a collision with a pedes-
trian. It is possible that the system will be
activated in the event of a collision with
such an object.
If the airbag is activated (Pedestrian Airbag)
•
the rear part of the bonnet is raised and
locked in this position
•
the hazard warning flashers are activated
•
the brake system is prepared for the
upcoming emergency braking.
WARNING
Do not fit any accessories or change any-
thing in the front. Incorrect intervention at
the front may cause incorrect function in
the system and lead to serious injury and
damage to the car.
Volvo recommends that genuine wiper
arms are used and that you only use genu-
ine parts for them.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an author-
ised Volvo workshop in the event of dam-
age to the bumper in order to ensure that
the system is intact.
