Inflatable curtain
The inflatable curtain, Inflatable Curtain (IC),
helps to prevent the driver and passengers
from striking their heads on the inside of the
vehicle during a collision.
The inflatable curtains are installed along both
sides of the inside of the roof and help protect
occupants in the vehicle's outer seats. IC
AIRBAG is embossed on the panels.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will
trigger the sensors and the inflatable curtain
will inflate.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an author-
ized Volvo workshop for repair. Incorrectly
performed repairs to the inflatable curtain
system could impair function and lead to
serious injury.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy objects in the
handle in the ceiling. The hooks are only
intended for lightweight garments (not for
hard objects such as umbrellas).
Never screw or mount anything to the vehi-
cle's headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could impair the intended protective
properties. Volvo recommends only using
Volvo original parts that are approved for
placement in these areas.
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper
edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm
(4 in.) space between the objects and the
window. Objects placed closer to this
could impede the function of the inflatable
curtain concealed inside the headlining.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.
