Safety mode is a feature that is triggered
after a collision if there is potential damage to
an important function in the vehicle, such as
the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety
systems, the brake system, etc.
Volvo recommends contacting an author-
ized Volvo workshop for repair. Incorrectly
performed repairs to the inflatable curtain
system could impair function and lead to
serious injury.
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision,
the text Safety mode See Owner's manual
may appear in the instrument panel along with
the warning symbol if the panel is undamaged
and the vehicle's electrical system is intact.
The message indicates that one or more of the
vehicle's functions may be reduced.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy objects in the
handle in the ceiling. The hooks are only
intended for lightweight garments (not for
hard objects such as umbrellas).
Never screw or mount anything to the vehi-
cle's headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could impair the intended protective
properties. Volvo recommends only using
Volvo original parts that are approved for
placement in these areas.
WARNING
Never attempt to restart the vehicle if you
smell fuel fumes when the message Safety
mode See Owner's manual is displayed
in the instrument panel. Leave the vehicle
immediately.
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper
edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm
(4 in.) space between the objects and the
window. Objects placed closer to this
could impede the function of the inflatable
curtain concealed inside the headlining.
If safety mode has been set, it may be possi-
ble to reset the system in order to start and
move the vehicle a short distance, for exam-
ple, if it is blocking traffic.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.
