General Information

When is the Airbag Deployed?

The airbag is only deployed during a

head-on collision, where the vehicle hits a

fixed or heavy object with sufficient force.

The SRS system registers both the force of

the collision and the internal forces caused

by the collision. The control unit determines

if the collision is sufficiently violent for the

airbag to be deployed.

Note: The SRS system is only activated once

in a collision. If the airbag has deployed, the

following is recommended:

•

Have the vehicle towed to an authorized

Volvo Truck dealer. Even if the vehicle

can be driven after a collision, it is not

recommended to drive the truck with

the airbag deployed.

•

Have an authorized Volvo Truck dealer

change the components in the SRS

system.

•

Only use original Volvo parts when

replacing the SRS system components

(airbag, safety belt, etc.).

When is the Airbag not Deployed?

Not all frontal collisions activate the SRS

system. In a collision with a soft object (a

snow drift or bush for example, or a hard or

fixed object at low speed), there is no need

for the SRS system to be activated. The

airbag is usually not inflated in response to

side-on collisions, impacts from the rear or if

the vehicle overturns. The extent of damage

to the vehicle is no measure of how well the

SRS system works.
