Components in the SIPS airbag system
This SIPS airbag system consists of a gas gener-
ator, the side airbag modules built into the out-
board sides of both front seat backrests, and
electronic sensors/wiring.
WARNING
•
The SIPS airbag system is a supplement
to the structural Side Impact Protection
System and the three-point seat belt sys-
tem. It is not designed to deploy during
collisions from the front or rear of the
vehicle or in rollover situations.
•
The use of seat covers on the front seats
may impede SIPS airbag deployment.
•
No objects, accessory equipment or stick-
ers may be placed on, attached to or
installed near the SIPS airbag system or
in the area affected by SIPS airbag
deployment.
•
Never try to open or repair any compo-
nents of the SIPS airbag system. This
should be done only by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
•
In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its
best protection, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position with the
seat belt properly fastened.
•
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in injury to the occupants of the
vehicle in the event of an accident.

Inflatable curtains
The inflatable curtain is designed to help protect
the heads of the occupants of the front seats
and the occupant of the outboard rear seating
positions in certain side impact collisions.
This system consists of inflatable curtains located
along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from
the center of both front side windows to the rear
edge of the rear side door windows.
In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Cur-
tain (IC) and the side Impact Airbag System
(SIPS airbag) will deploy. The IC and the SIPS
airbag deploy simultaneously.
