What Is Replaced And When?
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Driver/passenger airbag modules and seat belt tensioners indicate clearly when they have deployed and must be replaced.
When a driver and/or passenger airbag module has deployed:
- all seat belt tensioners, seat belt buckles and end mountings in the rear seat (and in the third row rear seat where applicable) have been activated and should therefore be replaced
- the seat belt tensioners in the front seats are checked according to Seat belt tensioner, checking , as activation of the tensioner function depends on whether seat belt was in use or not.
When the vehicle is subjected to collision forces without the driver and/or passenger airbag module deploying:
- all the seat belt tensioners in the car must be checked. See Seat belt tensioner, checking .
