1996 Volvo 960

WARNING!

The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System and the three-point

seat belt system. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in
rollover situations.

Only Volvo approved seat covers may be used. The use of non-approved aftermarket seat covers

may impede SIPS airbag deployment.

No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SIPS

airbag system or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment (see illustration to the right above).

Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should only be done by

an authorized Volvo service technician.

For best protection from the SIPS airbag system, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright

position with the seat belt properly fastened.

WARNING! Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the
steering of your car. Other safety systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the
airbags are deployed can cause skin and irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.

* A SIPS airbag warning decal is located at the end of the instrument panel on the driver's side of the
car.
