A self -diagnostic system incorporated in 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 igniters
WARNING!
Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad / airbag housing.
No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SRS cover in the
center of the steering wheel, the SRS cover above the glove compartment or the area affected by airbag deployment.
If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving, drive the car to
the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.
NOTE: Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment
occurs, the air bags and seat belt tensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount of powder is released. The

release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire.
NOTE: NOTE: Volvo's dual-threshold air bags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The
point at which the air bag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as, the severity of
the collision. Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys.
WARNING!
· Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and
children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side
airbag. See page 12 for guidelines.
· Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument
panel or otherwise sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the
seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.
· Feet must be on the floor, e.g. not on the dash, seat or out of the window.
· No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dash covers, may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SRS hatch
(the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see illustration).
· There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area.
· Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger side SRS seam. This should only be done
by an authorized Volvo service technician.
· Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.
pg. 7 Volvo SRS
NOTE : The information on this page does not pertain to the Side Impact Protection System airbags.
When are the airbags deployed?The SRS system is designed to deploy during certain frontal or frontangular
collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The SRS
sensor is designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it and to determine if
the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the airbags to be deployed.
WARNING!
The SRS is designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with considerable force.
During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions,
bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result of airbag(s) deployment.
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.

Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:
WARNING!
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in either section of the reservoir: DO NOT DRIVE. Tow the car to a Volvo
retailer and have the brake system checked and any leakage repaired.
Fault in ETC (Electronic Throttle Control system)
If this lamp comes on, there is a fault in the engine control system and driveability will be affected. Switch the ignition
off and then on again. If the light remains on, the system should be inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.
pg. 23 Warning lights
TRACS disengaged (option)
If the TRACS (TRAction Control System) is manually disengaged with the switch on the dashboard (see page 27), the
warning light will come on. This will also come on to indicate a TRACS malfunction, and when the brakes overheat,
although it goes out again at the normal temperature level. If the lamp remains on, the system should be checked by
an authorized Volvo retailer. This lamp should not be confused with the ON/OFF indicator lamp above the switch.
STC disengaged (option)
The indicator light () in the instrument panel will be ON when you have switched the Stability and Traction Control
system (STC) OFF using the button on the dashboard (see page 25). The light will also come on if there is a fault in the
STC system or to indicate that the brakes have overheated. The light will go out when the brake temperature returns to
normal.
The symbol will flash when STC is actively regulating power to the drive wheels. Normal power may be reduced at
this time. This is normal as power is momentarily reduced to help keep the drive wheels from losing traction and
spinning.
Coolant level sensor
If this light comes on while driving, the coolant level is low. The coolant level in the expansion tank should be
checked immediately and topped up if necessary. The cooling system should be inspected by an authorized Volvo
retailer.
Mode "W" engaged
The lamp will light up when the Winter/Wet starting mode is engaged or if gears "4-1" or "L" are selected.
If the warning lamp begins to flash , this means that there is a fault in the automatic gearbox. Contact Your Volvo

Volvo recommends the use of gasoline containing deposit control additives. These additives have shown to be efficient
in keeping injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good
driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with
the service station operator.
Unleaded fuel
Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations
require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit
your car's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded
gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded
gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty
coverage. State and local vehicle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in
emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.
NOTE: Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an octane enhancing additive called methly-cyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission Control System performance may be affected,
and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp located on your instrument panel may light. If this occurs, please return your
vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer for service.
pg. 69 Fuel requirements, Refueling
Octane rating
Volvo engines are designed for optimum performance on unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating. AKI of 91,
or above. AKI (ANTI KNOCK INDEX) is an average of the Research Octane Number, RON, and the Motor Octane
Number, MON. (RON + MON/2).
The minimum octane requirement is AKI 87 (RON 91).
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers
"Oxygenated fuels"
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or
local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in
which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check
with the service station operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated"
fuel.
Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygenated fuels; however, the octane ratings listed on this page must still be
met.
Alcohol — Ethanol
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used.
Ethanol may also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol".
Ethers — MTBE
Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.
