Safety
Properties
The inflatable curtain supplements the
existing SIPS system. The inflatable curtain is
concealed in the headlining along both sides
of the car. It protects both the front and rear
seat. If the car is hit from the side, the
inflatable curtain deploys within a few
thousandths of a second. It is then inflated for
approximately three seconds to provide
maximum protection in the event of a
complicated, severe collision. The inflatable
curtain is activated by the SIPS system
collision sensors if the car is hit from the side.
The inflatable curtain is filled with gas when
activated. The inflatable curtain helps to
prevent the driver's and passengers heads
from hitting the inside of the car in the event
of a collision.

WARNING!
• Never hang or secure anything from
the handles in the roof. The hook is
only intended for light outer garments
(not for hard objects such as
umbrellas).
• Do not screw to, or mount anything
on the headlining, door pillars or side
panels. The intended protection may
then be compromised. Only Volvo
Genuine parts that are approved for
placement in these areas should be
used.
WARNING!
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seat belt.
Always use a seat belt.
