Safety mode - attempting to start
the car
If the car is set in safety mode (p. 42) 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. 311) must be used instead. Even if the car
appears to be driveable, hidden damage may
make the car impossible to control once moving.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to
restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
Safety mode See manual message is dis-
played. Leave the car at once.
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.
