Safety mode

If the car detects damage that compromises safety, it can enter safety mode.

Safety mode limits the available functions when the car has sustained damage. When safety mode is active, you cannot drive the car and it must undergo damage assessment and repairs1. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if safety mode has been activated for any reason.

The display clearly indicates when the car is in safety mode, if it is still functioning.

 Warning

  • Do not use or stay in the car when it is in safety mode.
  • Do not tow the car without first activating tow mode. This can be done in the display.
  • Resetting the car's status without performing damage assessment and repairs can result in further damage to the car as well as personal injury.
