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 flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the
ignition before discon- necting 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.

tensioners. This service must be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer.

pg. 17 Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System)
Front airbag (SRS) system
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint
System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt
tensioners in both front door pillars. The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point
seat belt system. All three rear seat belts are also equipped with tensioners.
The SRS system is indicated by the "SRS" embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment,
and by decals on both sun visors and on the front and far right side of the dash.
