IC system (Inflatable Curtain)
IC system (Inflatable Curtains)
The IC system protects the head from blows against the car interior. The
curtain also protects against objects that the car is in collision with. The IC
system protects both those travelling in the front and outer rear seats. The
curtain is hidden inside the headlining. The IC system - inflatable curtains
- covers the upper part of the car interior next to the front and rear seats.
The IC system is activated by the SIPS system collision sensors, when the
car is hit from the side. When the IC system is activated the curtain is
filled with gas from the gas generator, which is located in the rear end of
the curtain.
Always use the safety belts!
If there are rear seat passengers, make sure the outer head restraints are
upright and that the centre head restraint is correctly adjusted for anyone
sitting there.

· Do not screw or mount anything to the headlining, door pillars or
side panels. The intended protection may be compromised.
· When the rear seat backrest is folded down, do not load objects
higher than 50 mm from the top edge of the rear passenger door
window. Otherwise, the protection offered by the inflatable curtain
hidden inside the headlining will be compromised.
