Safety
Inflatable Curtain (IC)
Properties
The inflatable curtain, IC (Inflatable Curtain),
is a supplement to the SIPS system. It is con-
cealed in the headlining along both sides of
the roof and protects both front and rear seat
passengers. The inflatable curtain is acti-
vated by sensors in a sufficiently violent colli-
sion. When deployed, the inflatable curtain
inflates. The inflatable curtain helps to pre-
vent the driver and passengers from striking
their heads on the inside of the car during a
collision.
WARNING!
Never hang or fasten anything on the roof
handles. The hook is only intended for
light outer garments (not for hard objects
such as umbrellas).
Do not screw or fit anything to the
headlining, 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 rear passenger
windows. Otherwise, the intended protec-
tion of the inflatable curtain, which is hid-
den in the headlining, may be
compromised.
WARNING!
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
