Door Mounted Inflatable Curtains - Volvo C70 Owner's Manual

Door Mounted Inflatable Curtain sys-
tem (DMIC)
The DMIC is a supplement to the structural
side impact protection. These inflatable cur-
tains are concealed in the upper section of
the driver and passenger doors.
• The Inflatable Curtain (DMIC) and the Side
Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will both
deploy in certain side impacts.
• In certain situations in which there is a roll-
over risk, only the inflatable curtain (DMIC)
may deploy.
NOTE
• DMIC deployment can occur regardless
of whether the power retractable hard top is
up or down.
• If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains
inflated for approximately 5 seconds.
WARNING
• The DMIC system is a supplement to the
Side Impact Protection System. It is not
designed to deploy during collisions from
the front or rear of the vehicle. It only pro-
vides protection for the occupants of the
front seats.
• Never install or mount any equipment on
the insides of the doors, door pillars, or side
panels. This could impede the function of
the DMIC system.
• Never try to open or repair any compo-
nents of the DMIC system. This should be
done only by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
