Side airbags
The side airbags, on the driver's and passenger
sides, protect the chest and hip in a collision.
The side airbags are located in the front seats'
outer backrest frames and help protect the driver
and front seat passenger.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trig-
ger the sensors and one or more side airbags will
inflate. The side airbags inflate between the seat
occupant and the door panel to help cushion the
initial impact of the collision. The airbag deflates
when compressed by the collision. The side air-
bags are normally only deployed on the side of
the vehicle impacted by the collision.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an authorized
Volvo workshop for repairs. Incorrectly per-
formed repairs to the side airbag system
could impair function and lead to serious
injury.
WARNING
Do not place any objects in the area between
the outer edges of the seats and the door
panels, as this could impair the function of the
side airbags.
Volvo recommends only using seat covers
approved by Volvo. Other seat covers could
prevent the side airbags from functioning
properly.
WARNING
The side airbag is a supplement to the seat
belt. Always wear your seat belt.

sides of the inside of the roof and help protect
occupants in the vehicle's outer seats. IC
AIRBAG is embossed on the panels.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trig-
