Volvo 850 User Manual

1996 Volvo 850
A self-diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors the SRS. This system does not, however,
monitor the SIPS airbags. If a fault is detected, the "SRS" warning light will illuminate. The light is
included in the warning/indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally, the SRS warning lamp
should light up when the ignition is switched on and should go out after 10 seconds or when the engine
is started. Check that this light is functioning properly every time the car is started.
The following items are monitored by all the self-diagnostic system:
● Sensor unit
● Cable harness
● Gas generator ignitors
WARNING!
Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag housing.
No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SRS
cover in the center of the steering wheel, the SRS cover above the glove compartment or the area
affected by the airbag deployment.
If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving,
drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.
