Side airbag (SIPS) - child seat/booster
cushion
The protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion
is not diminished by the side airbag (p. 35).
Child seat/booster cushion (p. 45) can be
placed on the front passenger seat provided
that the car does not have an activated airbag
(p. 33) on the front passenger side.

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.
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is
a part of the SIPS system (p. 35). It is fitted in
the headlining along both sides of the roof
and protects the car's occupants sitting in the
outer seats. A sufficiently violent collision
trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is
inflated.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only
designed for light clothing (not for solid
objects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the
car's headlining, door pillars or side pan-
els. This could compromise the intended
protection. Volvo recommends that you
only ever use Volvo genuine parts that are
approved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm
under the top edge of the windows in the
doors. Otherwise, the intended protection
of the inflatable curtain, which is con-
cealed in the headlining, may be compro-
mised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
