Sips Airbag - Volvo V70 Owner's Manual

Airbags and child seats are not compatible!
Child seat and airbag (SRS)
The child could be seriously injured if sitting in
a child seat or on a booster cushion that is
placed in the front seat of a car with an acti-
vated* front passenger airbag.
The rear seat is the safest place for a child in
a child seat/booster cushion if the car is
equipped with an activated* front passenger
airbag.
Never place a child in the front seat if the car is
equipped with an activated* airbag (SRS) on the
passenger side (child refers to anyone
140 cm or shorter).
The child should instead be seated in a child seat
or booster cushion on the rear seat.
WARNING!
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the car
has an activated* front passenger airbag
(SRS). Failure to follow this advice could
endanger the life of the child.

SIPS airbag

The SIPS airbag system is an electronic system
consisting of two main components: the side
airbag and the sensors. The side airbags are
mounted in the backrest frames of the front
seats while the sensors are located inside the
centre and rear pillars. If there is a collision of
sufficient force, the sensors react, activating the
gas generator which inflates the side airbag. The
airbag inflates between the occupant and the
door panel, emptying as it is compressed to
provide cushioning at the moment of impact.
The side airbag only inflates on side of the car
affected by the impact.

Child seat and SIPS airbag
The side airbag does not diminish the protection
provided by the car to children seated in a child
seat.
A child seat or booster cushion can be placed
on the front passenger seat provided that the car
does not have an activated* passenger airbag.
* For information on activated/deactivated
airbag (SRS), see page 16.
