Inflatable Curtain (Ic) - Volvo V50 Owner's Manual

Safety

Inflatable Curtain (IC)

Properties
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
SIPS system. It is concealed 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.

WARNING!
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
WARNING!
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 placement in these
areas.
