Starting/moving the car after safety
mode
If the car is set in safety mode, it is possible to
try to start and then move the car from a danger-
ous position.
Starting the car after safety mode
1. 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.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to
restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
Safety mode See Owner's manual mes-
sage is shown in the driver display. Leave the
car at once.
2.
Turn the start knob to STOP and release it.
3. Then try to start the car.
> The car's electronics carry out a systems
check and then try to resume normal sta-
tus.
IMPORTANT
If the message Safety mode See Owner's
manual is still shown on the display the car
must not be driven or towed but a vehicle
recovery service must then be used instead.
Even if the car appears to be driveable, hid-
den damage may make the car impossible to
control once moving.
Moving the car after safety mode
1.
If the message
Normal mode The car is
now in normal mode is shown in the driver
display after a start attempt, the car can be
moved carefully out of a dangerous position.
2. Do not move the car further than necessary.
WARNING
If the car is in safety mode it must not be
towed. It must be transported from its loca-
tion. Volvo recommends that it is transported
to an authorised Volvo workshop.
