WARNING
•
Volvo recommends that repairs are
only carried out by an authorised Volvo
workshop. Defective work in the SIPS-
bag system could cause malfunction
and result in serious personal injury.
•
Do not put objects in the area between
the outside of the seat and the door
panel, since this area is required by
the side airbag.
•
Volvo recommends the use only of car
seat covers approved by Volvo. Other
seat covers may impede the operation
of the side airbags.
•
Side airbags are a supplement the
seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)
The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the
driver and passengers from striking their
heads on the inside of the car during a colli-
sion.
Inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is part
of the SIPS system (p. 35) and the airbag sys-
tem (p. 31). It is fitted along both sides of the
headlining and helps protect the driver and
passengers in the car's outer seats. A suffi-
ciently violent collision trips the sensors and
the inflatable curtain is inflated.
