Pedestrian airbag*
The airbag for pedestrians (Pedestrian Airbag)
contributes in certain frontal collisions to alle-
viating the collision of the pedestrian with the
car.
The pedestrian airbag (Pedestrian Airbag) is
fitted under the bonnet near the windscreen.
In the event of certain frontal collisions with a
pedestrian, the sensors in the front bumper
react and the airbag inflates if required, based
on the force of the impact. The sensors are
active at a speed of approx. 20-50 km/h and
an ambient temperature between
-20 and +70°C.
The sensors are designed to detect a collision
with an object that has similar properties to
those of the human leg.
NOTE
There may be objects in the traffic environ-
ment that prompt a signal to the sensors
that is similar to a collision with a pedes-
trian. It is possible that the system will be
activated in the event of a collision with
such an object.
If the airbag is activated (Pedestrian Airbag)
•the rear part of the bonnet is raised and
locked in this position
•the hazard warning flashers are activated
•the brake system is prepared for the
upcoming emergency braking.
WARNING
Do not fit any accessories or change any-
thing in the front if the car is equipped with
airbag (Pedestrian Airbag). Incorrect inter-
vention at the front may cause incorrect
function in the system and lead to serious
injury and damage to the car.
Volvo recommends that genuine wiper
arms are used and that you only use genu-
ine parts for them.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an author-
ised Volvo workshop in the event of dam-
age to the bumper in order to ensure that
the system is intact.
