Inflatable Curtain (IC)

01
Properties
The inflatable curtain (IC) is a supplement to the
SIPS and SRS airbags. It is fitted in the head-
lining along both sides of the roof and protects
the car occupants sitting in the outer seats. A
sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors
and the inflatable curtain is inflated. The inflat-
able curtain helps to prevent the driver and
passengers from striking their heads on the
inside of the car during a collision.

WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only
designed for light clothing (not for solid
objects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the
car's headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could compromise the intended pro-
tection. Volvo recommends that you only
ever use Volvo genuine parts that are
approved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under
the top edge of the door windows. Other-
wise, the intended protection of the inflat-
able curtain, which is concealed in the head-
lining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
