When the bonnet is released, the warning symbol and the graphics in the driver display will light up and an acoustic reminder will sound. If the car starts rolling, an acoustic warning signal will repeat.
Note
If the warning symbol is lit or the warning signal is heard despite the bonnet being closed properly, contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Close the bonnet
Push the bonnet down until it starts to fall from its own weight.
When the bonnet stops against the lock catch, push the bonnet to close it completely.
Warning
Risk of crushing! Ensure that the closing path under the bonnet is not obstructed, otherwise there is a risk of personal injury.
Warning
Check that the bonnet locks properly when closed. The bonnet must engage at both sides audibly.
