Vehicle Damage Warnings

Vehicles With SRS (Airbag)/SIPS Bag/IC (Inflatable Curtain)

WARNING
Vehicles equipped with SRS/SIPS bag/IC must be handled with extra care when making repairs. This avoids:
1. Personal injuries when performing repair work.
2. Damage or malfunction of the SRS/SIPS bag/IC system.
Repair either to the SRS/SIPS bag/IC systems or related system or other components must be carried by an authorized Volvo workshop.
In case of doubt, consult the SRS and SIPS bag/IC service information.

Is the vehicle equipped with SRS/SIPS bag/IC?

Vehicles with SRS are most easily recognized by the letters SRS in the center of the steering wheel. If the vehicle also has a passenger side airbag, the letters SRS are stamped on the dashboard above the glove compartment. SRS vehicles from 1993 and onward also have explosive seatbelt tensioners. SIPS bags are only installed on SRS vehicles from 1995 and onward. SIPS bag decals are located on the windshield and seat compartment. Vehicles with IC can be recognized by the letters IC on the C/D panel (4 door) or the B panel (5 door).

General recommendations

^ Be especially careful when working on or around SRS, SIPS, and IC components.
^ Make sure that no wires are pinched, frayed, or pierced.
^ Never install accessories by the sensors.
^ Where applicable, work on the steering wheel, steering shaft, or steering gear must be done in accordance with the methods in the SRS section of VADIS/VIDA.
^ Certain components of the aforementioned systems must be grounded while working. Read the appropriate sections in VADIS/VIDA.
^ Install no accessories in the areas between the A and B posts, the B and C posts, and the C and D posts.
