Safety mode
WARNING
WARNING
Safety mode is a protective state that is trig-
gered when a collision may have damaged
any of the car's vital functions, such as the
fuel lines, sensors for any of the safety sys-
tems, or the brake system.
If the car has been in a collision, the message
Safety mode See Owner's manual may be
shown on the driver display with a warning
symbol as long as the display is not damaged
and the car's electrical system is still in work-
ing order. This message means that the car
has reduced functionality.
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hooks are only
designed for light coats and jackets (not for
solid objects such as umbrellas).
Never attempt to repair your car or reset
the electronics yourself if the car has been
in safety mode. This could result in per-
sonal injury or the car not functioning as
normal. Volvo recommends engaging an
authorised Volvo workshop to check and
restore the car to normal status after
Safety mode See Owner's manual has
been shown.
Do not screw or install anything onto the
car's headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could compromise the intended pro-
tection. Volvo recommends only using
Volvo genuine parts that are approved for
fitting within these areas.
WARNING
WARNING
If the car is in safety mode it must not be
towed. It must be transported from its
location. Volvo recommends that it is
transported to an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
Leave 10 cm (4 inches) space between the
load and the side windows if the car is loa-
ded to above the top edge of the door win-
dows. Otherwise, the intended protection
of the inflatable curtain, which is concealed
in the headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt
to restart the car if it smells of fuel when
the Safety mode See Owner's manual
message is shown in the driver display.
Leave the car at once.

If the message Safety mode See
Starting the car after safety mode
1. Check the general damage situation of the
car and whether any fuel has been leaking.
There must be no smell of fuel either.
Owner's manual is still shown on the dis-
play the car must not be driven or towed
but a vehicle recovery service must then be
used instead. Even if the car appears to be
driveable, hidden damage may make the
car impossible to control once moving.
If there is only minor damage and a check
has revealed no fuel leaks, starting can be
attempted.
WARNING
Moving the car after safety mode
1. If the driver display shows the message
Normal mode The car is now in normal
mode after a start attempt, the car can be

position.

to restart the car if it smells of fuel when
the Safety mode See Owner's manual
message is shown in the driver display.
Leave the car at once.
2. Do not move the car further than neces-
sary.

WARNING
If the car is in safety mode it must not be
towed. It must be transported from its
location. Volvo recommends that it is
transported to an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
