SRS deployment information
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If an SRS equipped vehicle is on fire: SRS components are designed to deploy under conditions of excessive heat. The system is designed to deploy the SRS components when the temperature in the gas generator reaches 230 °C (450 °F). It should be noted that it takes a serious fire to deploy the SRS components, which means that the SRS components will not deploy in all types of fire.
