Warning triangle in the digital combined instru-
ment panel.
If the car is involved in a collision, the text
Safety mode See manual may appear in the
combined instrument panel (p. 60) informa-
tion display. This means that the car has
reduced functionality.
WARNING
Never attempt to repair your car or reset
the electronics yourself if the car has been
in safety mode. This could result in per-
sonal 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
Safety mode See manual has been
displayed.

Safety mode - attempting to start the
car
If the car is set in safety mode (p. 38) 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 button. 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. 309) used instead. Even if the car
appears to be driveable, hidden damage may
make the car impossible to control once mov-
ing.
