NOTE
DMIC deployment can occur regardless of whether the power retractable hard top is up or down.
If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 5 seconds.
WARNING
The DMIC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during
collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle. It only provides protection for the occupants of the front seats.
Never install or mount any equipment on the insides of the doors, door pillars, or side panels. This could impede
the function of the DMIC system.
Never try to open or repair any components of the DMIC system. This should be done only by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
WARNING
In order for the DMIC to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system. Only
adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. See
guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.
