Inflatable Curtain (Dmic) - Volvo C70 Owner's Manual

Properties
The inflatable curtain, DMIC (Door Mounted
Inflatable Curtain), is a supplement to the SIPS
system. It is fitted along the inside of the driv-
er's and passenger doors and protects both
front seat occupants. The inflatable curtain is
activated by sensors in the event of a suffi-
ciently violent collision or if the car is at risk of
overturning. When deployed, the inflatable cur-
tain inflates. The inflatable curtain helps to pre-
vent the driver and front seat passenger from
striking their heads on the inside of the car dur-
ing a collision. The inflatable curtain is
deployed irrespective of whether the roof is
open or closed.
WARNING
Do not screw or install anything onto the
car's headlining or side panels. This could
compromise the intended protection. Volvo
recommends that you only ever use Volvo
genuine parts that are approved for place-
ment in these areas.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
