Properties
The inflatable curtain, IC (Inflatable Curtain), is
a supplement to the SIPS system. It is concea-
led in the headlining along both sides of the
roof and protects both front and rear seat
passengers. The inflatable curtain is activated by
the SIPS collision sensors if the car is hit from
the side. When deployed, the inflatable curtain
inflates. The inflatable curtain helps to prevent
the driver and passengers from striking their
heads on the inside of the car during a collision.

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always wear a seatbelt.
• Never hang or fasten anything on the roof
handles. The hook is only intended for light
outer garments (not for hard objects such
as umbrellas).
• Do not screw or fit anything to the
headlining, door pillars or side panels. This
could compromise the intended protection.
Only use Volvo genuine parts that are
approved for fitting in these areas.
• Do not load the car higher than 50 mm
under the top edge of the rear passenger
windows to avoid affecting the protection
of the inflatable curtain in the event of a
side collision.
