2000 VOLVO S40 key battery

If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:
· Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed.
· Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components.
· Use only new, Genuine Volvo Parts when replacing SRS components (airbags, seat belts, tensioners, etc.).
When are the airbags NOT deployed?
Not all frontal collisions activate the SRS system. If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or
bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the SRS system will not necessarily deploy. Front airbags do not
normally deploy in a side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation. The amount of
damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not.
Seat belts the heart of the Volvo safety system
The heart of the Volvo safety system is the threepoint seat belt (a Volvo invention)! In order for the SRS system to
provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times by everyone in the car. The SRS system is a
supplement to the seat belts.
WARNING!
If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle)
or if your car has become flooddamaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition
before disconnecting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal
injury. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.
Before attempting to tow the car, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear
selector to the neutral position.
· Disconnect the battery
· Wait at least one minute
· Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position 1
· Press firmly on the shiftlock override button (located near the base of the gear selector).
· While holding the override button down, move the gear selector from the park position.
WARNING!
Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car. Other safety
systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye
irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.
