Inflatable Curtain (IC)

01
Properties
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is a
supplement to the SIPS and SRS airbags. It is
fitted in the headlining along both sides of the
roof and protects the car's outer seats. A suf-
ficiently violent collision trips the sensors and
the inflatable curtain is inflated. The inflatable
curtain helps to prevent the driver and passen-
gers 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. 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 side windows. Other-
wise, the intended protection of the inflat-
able curtain, which is concealed in the
headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
