Dual-stage airbags, driver and front
passenger
Helping to optimise protection, the dual-stage
airbags adapt the level of infl ation depending on
the force of the collision. The driver’s airbag also
interacts with the deformation of the collapsible
steering column.
ISOFIX
ISOFIX attachments only allow you to fi t the child
seat in the correct way. They also make the child
seat easier to fi t and remove. We offer two
rear-facing child seats with ISOFIX attachments: one
for infants and small children up to 13 kg, and one
for children weighing between 9 and 18 kg.
Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)
Integrated in the front seats, Volvo’s WHIPS cradles the
occupant to help reduce the risk of whiplash injury (one of
the most common types of traffi c injury and often the result of
low-speed rear impact collision). The function is activated by a
collision of suffi cient force from behind. Independent research
has shown that WHIPS is one of the most effective systems in
the world and can reduce the risk of long-term injuries by 50%.
Inflatable Curtains (IC)
In a collision or rollover, the
Infl atable Curtains (IC) protect
the heads of both front and
rear outboard occupants. They
also stay infl ated for some
seconds to provide prolonged
protection in multiple
accidents. And to help protect
children in the rear seat, IC
interacts with the two-stage
integrated booster cushions
and the belt load limiters.
Side Impact Protection System (SIPS)
SIPS is a Volvo unique safety system that
has been developed to help protect where
occupants are most exposed to the crash forces.
The steel framework of the car – including the
front seats – is designed and reinforced to help
displace the impact of a side collision away from
the occupants to other parts of the car body and
help prevent intrusion into the cabin. The side
structure is extremely strong to help withstand
a severe side impact, even with a larger vehicle.
The Infl atable Curtains (IC) for all the outboard
occupants and the front seat side airbags
interact to help provide further protection.
Satellite Navigation System
Volvo’s GPS-based satellite navigation system is totally
integrated with your car. It offers both voice guidance and
graphic navigation all the way to your destination. Via TMC
(Traffi c Message Channel) radio data broadcasts it also lets
you know if there’s weather related trouble en-route and
recommends an alternative. This system is easily controlled from
the steering wheel or a remote, and the screen is positioned
so you can keep your attention on traffi c. The maps are on one
DVD and cover major parts of Europe. To help you keep track
of new roads and points of interest, you can join our MapCare
programme for two free map updates.

Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC)
By helping prevent fi shtails, spinouts, and rollovers,
stability control technology like DSTC has been
described as one of the most vital safety advances of the
past decade. At the core of DSTC, a gyroscope senses
the car’s direction and compares this with steering wheel
movements as well as the actual rotation of the car’s
wheels. DSTC is able to detect a potential skid and help
counteract this by reducing the engine’s power output, or
braking on one or more wheels. Further developed in the
XC60, this technology also adds to stability in dynamic
driving where the vehicle is exposed to high lateral forces.
