WARNING
•
Volvo recommends that repairs are only
carried out by an authorised Volvo work-
shop. 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 seat-
belts. Always use a seatbelt.
SIPS and child seats
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.

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 collision.
Inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is part of
the SIPS system (p. 37) and the airbag system
(p. 33). It is fitted along both sides of the headlin-
ing and helps protect the driver and passengers
in the car's outer seats. A sufficiently violent colli-
sion trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is
inflated.
