Location of SRS components: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental activation of pyrotechnic SRS components, disconnect the battery and wait at least 15 minutes before starting work on the car.
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.
