Safety
Driving after a collision
If the car has been involved in a collision, the
text CRASH MODE - SEE MANUAL may
appear in the information display. This means
the functionality of the car has been reduced.
CRASH MODE is a safety feature that
comes into effect when the collision could
have damaged an important function in the
car, for example fuel lines, sensors for one of
the safety systems or the brake system.
Crash mode
Attempting to start the car
First check that no fuel has escaped from the
car. There should not be any fuel odour.
If everything appears normal and you have
checked for fuel leakage, you may attempt to
start the car.
• First remove the ignition key, then
reinsert it. The car's electronics will try
to reset themselves to normal mode.
Then try to start the car.
WARNING!
Never try to repair the car yourself or to
reset the electronics after the car has
been in CRASH MODE. This could
result in injury or the car not functioning
as normal. Always allow a Volvo
workshop to handle checking and
restoring the car to normal status after
CRASH MODE has been displayed.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to restart the car under
any circumstances if there is any fuel
odour when the CRASH MODE
message is displayed. Leave the car
immediately.
Moving the car
If the normal mode is displayed after the
CRASH MODE has been reset, the car may
be moved carefully out of its present
dangerous position. Do not move the car
further than necessary.
Recovery
Even if the car appears driveable after it has
been put into CRASH MODE, it should not
be driven or towed. When travelling,
concealed damage can make the car
impossible to manoeuvre.
WARNING!
The car may not be towed once it has be
put in CRASH MODE. It must be
recovered from its present location to a
Volvo workshop.
