· As its name implies, SRS is designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the three-point belt
system. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible
injuries that may occur in an accident.
· When installing any optional equipment, make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not attempt to service
any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious personal injury. If a problem arises,
take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.

A self -diagnostic system incorporated into the sensor monitors the SRS. If a fault is detected, the "SRS" warning light
will illuminate. The light is included in the warning/indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally, the SRS
warning lamp should light up when the ignition is switched on and should go out after 5 seconds or when the engine is
started. Check that this light is functioning properly every time the car is started.
The following items are monitored by the self -diagnostic system:
· Sensor unit
· Cable harness
· Gas generator ignitersWARNING!
Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad / airbag housing.
