Any servicing or repairs of the airbags and related safety systems must be performed by authorised service technicians.1 Never attempt to alter or repair any part of the car's safety systems yourself. Incorrectly performed repairs can lead to malfunctions and serious injury. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop when your car needs servicing or repairs.
Warning
Car modifications and airbags
Modifications to the car risk affecting airbags and other safety systems. Carefully read the section about car modifications and contact Volvo2 if you are considering modifying your car in any way3, such as when accommodating a disability.
Airbags and water damage
If the car has been flooded or the interior has been exposed to excessive amounts of water, there may be water damage affecting the safety systems. This can lead to unintentional airbag deployment and cause injury.
- Do not use the car if you suspect it has water damage.
- Contact Volvo Assistance for recovery support.
Note
A warning appears in the driver display if the car detects any airbag faults. Immediately contact an authorised Volvo workshop if this happens.
