850 SRS and SIPS Technical Data
Exercise extra care when carrying out repair work on cars equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)/SIPS. This is to help prevent:
1. Personal injury during the repair work.
2. Damage or function impairment in the
SRS/SIPS systems. Any work on the SRS/SIPS systems or related components in the car which could effect the SRS/SIPS systems must be carried out by an authorized Volvo workshop. Read the SRS and SIPS service manuals if in doubt.
Is the car equipped with SRS/SIPS?
If the car has the letters SRS on the steering wheel pad then it is equipped with an SRS system. Cars equipped with a passenger SRS Airbag have the letters SRS embossed on the dashboard above the glove box on the passenger side.
Cars with SRS were also equipped with pyrotechnical seat belt tensioners in the B posts from 1993 onwards. SIPS bags are only installed on SRS cars from 1995 onward. There are SIPS labels on the windshield and on the seat storage compartment to indicate the car is equipped with this system.
