Side airbags - SIPS bag
A large proportion of the collision force is
distributed by SIPS to the members, posts,
floor, roof and other parts of the car body.
The side airbags protect the chest and are an
important part of SIPS. The SIPS airbag
system consists of two main components:
Side airbags and sensors. The side airbags
are installed in the frames of the front seat
backrests and the sensors are located on the
insides of the centre and rear pillars.
WARNING!
The side airbags supplement the
existing SIPS system. Always use seat
belts.

WARNING!
• Any interference with the SIPS (side
impact protection system) airbag
system could cause malfunction and
serious injury. Contact a Volvo
Workshop instead.
• No objects or accessories may be
placed between the outer side of the
seat and the door panel because this
area may be affected by the side
airbag.
Child seats and side airbags
A child seat/booster cushion can be placed
in the front seat as long as the car is not
equipped with an airbag on the passenger
side.
WARNING!
Only use Volvo upholstery or upholstery
approved by Volvo. Other upholstery
may impede the function of the side
airbags.
