When are the airbags deployed?

Occupant safety / When are the airbags deployed?

The SRS system is designed to deploy during certain frontal or frontangular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The SRS sensor is designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it and to determine if the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the airbags to be deployed.]

WARNING!

The SRS is designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with considerable force.

During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result of airbag(s) deployment.

If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following: · Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed.

· Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components.

· Use only new, Genuine Volvo Parts when replacing SRS components (airbags, seat belts, tensioners, etc.).
