Inflatable Curtain (IC)
7-seat model shown
Volvo Inflatable Curtain (IC)
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 occupants of the front seats and the occupant of the outboard rear seating positions, including the
outboard passenger in the optional third row of seats in certain side impact collisions. 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 vehicle if a roll-over occurs.
NOTE:
In 5-seat models, the Inflatable Curtains extend to protect both rows of seats. 7-seat models, they extend
to protect all three rows.
By design, the IC system deploys only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. However, in
certain side impacts, or in a rollover situation, BOTH the Inflatable Curtains (IC) and the Side Impact
Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will deploy, whereas, in some cases, ONLY the Inflatable Curtain (IC) will
deploy. In cases where BOTH the IC and the SIPS-bag deploy, deployment will occur simultaneously.
If the Inflatable Curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 5 seconds.
