WARNING
Use only seat covers approved by Volvo.
Other seat covers may impede the opera-
tion of the side airbags.
Child seats and side airbags
The side airbag does not diminish the protec-
tion provided by the car to children seated in
a child seat or on a booster cushion.
A child seat or booster cushion can be
placed on the front passenger seat provided
that the car does not have an activated pas-
senger airbag.

Safety in the passenger compartment
The SIPS bag system consists of side airbag
and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision
trips the sensors and the side airbags are in-
flated. The airbag inflates between the occu-
pant and the door panel and thereby cush-
ions the initial impact while deflating. The
side airbag is only normally deployed on the
side of the collision.
