Warning triangle in the digital combined instrument
panel.
If the car is involved in a collision, the text Safety
mode See manual may appear in the combined
instrument panel (p. 62) information display.
This means that the car has reduced functional-
ity.
WARNING
Never attempt to repair your car or reset the
electronics yourself if the car has been in
safety mode. This could result in personal
injury or the car not functioning as normal.
Volvo recommends that you engage an
authorised Volvo workshop to check and
restore the car to normal status after

has been displayed.

Safety mode - attempting to start
the car
If the car is set in safety mode (p. 41) then an
attempt to start the car can be made if every-
thing seems normal and the absence of fuel
leakage has been checked.
First, check that no fuel is leaking from the car.
There must be no smell of fuel either.
If everything seems normal and you have
checked for indications of fuel leakage, you may
attempt to start the car.
Remove the remote control key and open the
driver's door. If a message is now shown to the
effect that the ignition is on, press the start but-
ton. Then close the door and reinsert the remote
control key. The car's electronics will now try to
reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to
start the car.
If the message
Safety mode See manual is
still shown on the display then the car must not
be driven or towed but a vehicle recovery service
(p. 320) used instead. Even if the car appears to
be driveable, hidden damage may make the car
impossible to control once moving.
