General SRS information
In a collision where deployment occurs, the air bag and seat belt tensioners activate. Some noise occurs
and a small amount of powder is released. This powder is not harmful and does no indicate fire.
NOTE: Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an
accident.
If you are involved in an accident which has resulted in air bag deployment, we recommend the
following:
- Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo dealer or collision repair shop. Even if the car is driveable
after an accident, we do NOT recommend driving the car with a deployed air bag.
- Have the SRS replacement performed by an authorized Volvo dealer OR ask the body shop performing
the collision repairs to have the SRS replacement done at a Volvo dealer.
- Have all deployed/damaged SRS components (air bag and front seat belt assemblies) replaced with
new, genuine Volvo-brand components.
