The Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)
G027047
This system consists of inflatable curtains
located along the sides of the roof liners,
stretching from the front side windows to the
rear edge of the rear side windows. It is
designed to help protect the heads of the occu-
pants of the front seats and the occupants of
the outboard rear seating positions, including
the outboard passenger in the optional third
row of seats in certain side impact collisions.
G027048
The inflatable curtains in the Volvo XC90 are
also designed to help protect the occupants of
the vehicle in a roll-over situation, and to help
prevent them from being thrown from the vehi-
cle if a roll-over occurs.
NOTE
In 5 -seat models, the Inflatable Curtains
extend to protect both rows of seats. In 7 -
seat models, they extend to protect all three
rows.
By design, the VIC system deploys only on the
side of the vehicle affected by the impact.
However, in certain side impacts, or in a roll-
over situation,
BOTH
the Inflatable Curtains
and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag)
will deploy, whereas, in some cases,
ONLY
the
Inflatable Curtain will deploy. In cases where
BOTH
the Inflatable Curtain and the SIPS-bag
deploy, deployment will occur simultaneously.
NOTE
If the Inflatable Curtain deploys, it remains
inflated for approximately 5 seconds.
WARNING
•
The VIC 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 or in
all rollover situations.
•
Never try to open or repair any compo-
nents of the VIC system. This should be
done only by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
•
Never hang heavy items from the ceiling
handles. This could impede deployment
of the Inflatable curtain.
