Inflatable Curtain (IC) 01
Properties
The inflatable curtain, DMIC (Door Mounted
Inflatable Curtain), is a supplement to the
SIPS system. It is fitted inside along the driv-
er’s and passenger side and protects both
front seat passengers. The inflatable curtain
is activated by sensors in the event of a suffi-
ciently violent collision or if the car is at risk
of overturning. When deployed, the inflata-
ble curtain inflates. The inflatable curtain
helps to prevent the driver and front seat
passenger from striking their heads on the in-
side of the car during a collision. The inflata-
ble curtain is deployed irrespective of wheth-
er the roof is open or closed.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only de-
signed for light clothing (not for solid ob-
jects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or fit anything to the headlin-
ing, door pillars or side panels. This could
compromise the intended protection. Only
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 side windows.
Otherwise, the intended protection of the
inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the
headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
