1996 Volvo 960
WARNING!
The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System and the three-point
seat belt system. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in
rollover situations.
Only Volvo approved seat covers may be used. The use of non-approved aftermarket seat covers
may impede SIPS airbag deployment.
No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SIPS
airbag system or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment (see illustration to the right above).
Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should only be done by
an authorized Volvo service technician.
For best protection from the SIPS airbag system, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belt properly fastened.
WARNING! Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the
steering of your car. Other safety systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the
airbags are deployed can cause skin and irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.
* A SIPS airbag warning decal is located at the end of the instrument panel on the driver's side of the
car.
