INTRODUCTION
- NOTE! Read through the whole installation instruction before starting the work.
- The illustrations display the procedure in order of operation. The order of operation is repeated in the text






Cars equipped with SRS/SIPS (Airbag)

Warning! Extra care must be taken when working on cars equipped with SRS/SIPS air bags. This is important to prevent:1. Personal injury2. Damage to or malfunction of the SRS/SIPS system.Work on the SRS/SIPS systems or related components must always be carried out by an authorized Volvo workshop.

Is the car equipped with SRS (supplemental restraint system)?
Cars equipped with a driver's airbag have the letters "SRS" imprinted on the centre panel of the steering wheel. Cars equipped with driver's and passenger airbags are marked with "SRS" on both the steering wheel centre panel and also on the dashboard close to the airbag.
If the car is equipped with SIPS (side impact protection system ) a "SIPS" decal is marked on both the front seats.
Cars equipped with inflatable curtains have the marking "SRS" on one of the panels along the posts on the inside of the car.
Cars equipped with SRS (supplemental restraint system) also have an "SRS" decal on the front windscreen.

Warning! The air bag inflation areas must not be obstructed. Never place any objects, such as upholstery or accessories, within these areas. The panels must be able to open in the correct manner at the right time, otherwise there is an increased risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.

Do not damage the SRS wiring!
Do not trap, chafe, pierce or damage the SRS wiring. SRS wiring has orange casing and/or is plaited.

Steering and front suspension
The contact reel in the SRS system can easily be damaged when working on the steering wheel, steering shaft or steering gear. Refer to the SRS (supplemental restraint system) for information on carrying out such work. This is to prevent damage.

SRS warning lamp
If the SRS warning lamp lights after repairs have been carried out, take the car to an authorized Volvo workshop.






Supplemental restraint system module, SRS

C30/S40(04-)/V50/S60/XC60/C70(06-)/V70/XC70/S80/XC90
The supplemental restraint system module (SRS) is located on the tunnel under the centre console, in front of the parking brake.






Warning! The ignition must be in position "0" and the key removed from the ignition switch if any connector in the SRS system is to be unplugged. Then wait at least three minutes and disconnect the battery negative lead before unplugging any of the connectors. When work is completed, the ignition key must be turned to position "II" before reconnecting the battery negative lead.






Remote start, electric engine block heater


Illustration A




- Install the holder with the connected timer relay with the hose clamp. Ensure that the timer relay is centered on the stay and is secure, so that it does not drop down and become trapped by the anti-roll bar.

Illustration B




- Check that the same dimensions as in the image are used.
- If the cables for the front intake and engine block heater are disconnected, reinstall them in their clamps.





- Route the ground lead (1) from the timer relay to the ground terminal for the front intake.





- Tighten the ground lead to the ground terminal.
- Clamp the ground lead at the existing clamps and clamp the cable excess using a tie strap from the kit.










Illustrations A and B
- Route the cable from the timer relay (1) along the cable to the passenger compartment connector socket, up on the top side of the engine compartment's left-hand side and over to the right-hand side. Finish by pulling the cable down to the rubber grommet in the cowl panel.
- Take six tie straps from the kit and clamp the cable at the existing cable.





- Remove the panel from the right-hand end of the dashboard. Use a weatherstrip tool and carefully pry around the panel, so that the three clips on the inside release.

Note! Do not damage the dashboard.





- Remove the sill trim panel from the right-hand front door. First pull off the front edge of the sill trim panel so that the clip there releases. Then continue backwards until the remaining clips on the underneath have released.
- Unhook the sill trim panel from the B-pillar panel.






Applies to cars without a passenger compartment connector socket
- Push the floor carpet to one side to access the grommet in the cowl panel.






Applies to cars with a passenger compartment connector socket
- Remove the locking sleeve over the cable splice in the passenger compartment connector socket.
- Disconnect the cable from the passenger compartment connector socket.
- Remove the passenger compartment connector socket from its bracket.
- Push the floor carpet to one side to access the grommet in the cowl panel.





- Cut off the top of the small "rubber nipple" in the cowl panel's rubber grommet, on the right-hand side of the engine compartment. Use a knife.





- Insert the cable through the rubber grommet and into the passenger compartment.





- Pull the cable from the rubber grommet in the cowl panel.

- Reinstall the wing liner for the side member and bumper cover.
- Reinstall the engine splash guard.
- Remount the wheel and tighten the lug bolts to 90 Nm (66 lbf.ft.).

Applies to all models

Installing the antenna









- Clean the marked surface on the inside of the windscreen using isopropanol P/N 1161721. Wipe dry.





- Remove the protective backing tape from the antenna mounting tape.





- Press the antenna into place as close to the front edge of the roof panel as possible. Route the cable just above the edge of the roof panel.
- Carefully bend down the front edge of the roof panel and use pieces of butyl tape to secure the cable at the panel.

Note! Do not damage the roof panel.






Warning! Make sure that the routing of the antenna cable does not interfere with the function of the inflatable curtain.











Installing the receiver unit




- Remove the Velcro from the kit and cut it in the centre.





- Press the Velcro pieces together.





- Clean the flat surface of the receiver unit using isopropanol P/N 1161721. Wipe dry.





- Remove the protective backing tape from one of the Velcro pieces.





- Press the Velcro onto the receiver unit.





- Remove the protective backing tape from the other Velcro piece.





- Move the floor and insulating mat out of the way.
- Scrape away any sealing compound from the flat surface at the bottom edge of the A-post where the receiver unit for remote start will sit. The top edge of the receiver unit should be positioned 30 mm (1 3/16 ") from the bottom edge of the welded screw in the body.
- Clean the surface using isopropanol P/N 1161721. Wipe dry.





- Press the receiver unit securely onto the flat surface, 30 mm (1 3/16") from the lower edge of the welded screw in the body.





- Locate the 2-pin connector for the blower fan and disconnect the connector.
- Connect the cable from the kit.





- Carefully loosen the secondary catch of the black 6-pin connector using a small screwdriver.





- Connect the red (R) cable from the timer relay to terminal 3, and the black (BK) cable to terminal 6 in the 6-pin connector.
- Press the secondary catch together on the connector.

Synchronizing the Transmitter - Receiver

2. Install batteries in the transmitter battery compartment.
3. Connect the connector and antenna cable to the receiver unit.
4. Within 5 seconds, press the "OFF" button on the transmitter until the LED goes out. Synchronization has been carried out.

- Press the receiver unit onto the Velcro on the body plate if it has loosened.
- Tape up any cable excess from the timer relay and place it next to the receiver unit under the insulation mat.

- Reinstall the insulation and floor carpet.
- Reinstall the removed panels and passenger compartment connector socket if applicable.
