TNN88-41-2006-07-12 Title: Air Bag System - System Life Expectancy
Based on testing and experience since the 1980's, Volvo has extended the lifetime of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components to be the same as the lifetime of the car.
This lifetime extension supersedes all previous publications concerning Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component lifetime. Periodic inspections and servicing of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components, based solely on the age of the vehicle, are no longer required.
The lifetime extension applies to all pyrotechnic components in vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint System (SRS):
Driver airbag module
Passenger airbag module
Seat belts with pyrotechnic seat belt pretensioners
SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) airbag module
IC (Inflatable Curtain) airbag module
Adaptive Steering Column (ASC)
Adaptive Load Limiter (ADLL)
