Airbags & Central Locking 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Valvo on  Sat Mar 5 00:07 CST 2005 [RELATED]

In the event of an accident and the airbags deploying does anyone know if the central locking unlocks the doors if they are locked?

    It does not unlock in the event of an accident. Back in the old days, the car manual said to NEVER lock the car while driving, because it would hamper rescue in event of an accident. Today, the cops tell us to lock the doors to prevent car jacking. Isn't this world getting to be a better place?

      Thanks Klaus,
      My wife just started a new job 30 kms away and has to travel through some feral badlands. Hijacking is not yet a huge issue here in sunny Sth Australia but being a Volvo driver is and attracts attention from a few morons and I guess I would feel more secure with her driving with the doors locked.
      The car is fitted with an aftermarket remote system that can be programmed for anti hijack feature. Interestingly my old (pre - computers)1973 Renault 16TS unlocked the doors if an accident occurred ....a steel ball rolled up an incline and bridged some contacts to unlock the central locking.

      regards....Valvo
