Inflatable Curtain (IC)

The inflatable curtain is designed to help pro-
tect the heads of the occupants of the front
seats and the occupant of the outboard rear
seating positions in certain side impact colli-
sions.
This system consists of inflatable curtains
located along the sides of the roof liners,
stretching from the center of both front side
windows to the rear edge of the rear side
door windows.
In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable
Curtain (IC) and the Side Impact Airbag Sys-
tem (p. 39) (SIPS airbag) will deploy. The IC
and the SIPS airbag deploy simultaneously.
02 Safety
NOTE
If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains
inflated for approximately 6 seconds.
WARNING
•
The IC system is a supplement to the
Side Impact Protection System. It is
not designed to deploy during colli-
sions from the rear of the vehicle.
•
Never try to open or repair any compo-
nents of the IC system. This should be
done only by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
•
Never hang heavy items from the ceil-
ing handles. This could impede
deployment of the Inflatable Curtain.
•
The rear seat should not be loaded to
a level higher than 2 in. (5 cm) below
the upper edge of the rear side win-
dows. Objects placed higher than this
level could impede the function of the
Inflatable Curtain.
