Safety mode

If your car detects damage that compromises safety, it can enter safety mode.

Safety mode limits the available functions when your car has sustained damage. When safety mode is active, you cannot drive your car and it must undergo damage assessment and repairs1. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if safety mode has been activated for any reason.

The display clearly indicates when your car is in safety mode, if it is still functioning.

 Warning

  • Do not use or stay in your car when it is in safety mode.
  • Do not tow your car without first activating tow mode. This can be done in the display.
  • Resetting your car's status without performing damage assessment and repairs can result in further damage to the car as well as personal injury.
