Inflatable Curtain (IC)

The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is
a supplement to the SIPS and SRS airbags. It
is fitted in the headlining along both sides of
the roof and protects both front and rear seat
passengers. A sufficiently violent collision
trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is
inflated. The inflatable curtain helps to pre-
vent the driver and front seat passenger from
striking their heads on the inside of the car
during a collision.

WARNING

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.

Always use a seatbelt.

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 install anything onto the
car’s headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could compromise the intended pro-
tection. Only ever use Volvo genuine parts
that are approved for placement in these ar-
eas.
