Side Impact Protection (Sips) Airbags - Volvo XC60 Owner's Manual

Side impact protection (SIPS)
airbags
As an enhancement to the structural side impact
protection built into your vehicle, it is also equip-
ped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS)
airbags.
Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbags (front seats
only)
The SIPS airbag system is designed to help
increase occupant protection in the event of cer-
tain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are
designed to deploy only during certain side-
impact collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of impact.
Driver's side SIPS airbag
Passenger's side SIPS airbag
NOTE
SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs
only on the side of the vehicle affected by the
impact. The airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.
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.
