Never attempt to repair the vehicle yourself or to reset the electrical system after the vehicle has displayed
CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL. This could result in injury or improper system function.
Restoring the vehicle to normal operating mode should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
After CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL has been displayed, if you detect the odor of fuel vapor, or see any signs of
fuel leakage, do not attempt to start the vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.
Attempting to start the vehicle
If damage to the vehicle is minor and there is no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the vehicle. To do so:
1. Remove the ignition key or optional keyless drive start control (see page 131
).
2. Reinsert the key or start control in the ignition switch. The vehicle will then attempt to reset CRASH MODE to
normal mode.
3. Try to start the vehicle.
Moving the vehicle
If the electrical system is able to reset system status to normal (CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL will no longer be
displayed), the vehicle may be moved carefully from its present position, if for example, it is blocking traffic. It
should, however, not be moved farther than is absolutely necessary.
WARNING
Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after CRASH MODE has been set, it should not be driven or towed
(pulled by another vehicle). There may be concealed damage that could make it difficult or impossible to control.
The vehicle should be transported on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for
inspection/ repairs.
30 01 Safety
Child safety
Children should be seated safely
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless
of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a car.
Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-
shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in cars in the event of an accident only if they are
used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the
vehicle's interior in a sudden stop.
Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a
person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured
by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also
happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly restrained to help
reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.
All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a car. Find out the
