NOTE: IC system deployment occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact.
In certain side impacts, BOTH the Inflatable Curtain (IC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will deploy,
whereas, in some cases, ONLY the Inflatable Curtain (IC) will deploy. In cases where BOTH the IC and the SIPS -bag
deploy, deployment will occur simultaneously.
If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 3 seconds.
WARNING!
The IC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during collisions
from the front or rear of the car or in rollover situations.
Never try to open or repair any components of the IC system. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo
service technician.
The inflatable curtains are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and impact. The inflatable curtains are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.
In order for the IC to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear seat occupants
should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the
proper child restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front
passenger seat. See page 14
for guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle
occupants in an accident.

Remote keyless entry system
Your car is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio signal to allow "keyless" entry
into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be supplied with two coded key ring transmitters, which will
enable you to lock/unlock all doors and the trunk from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by this system.
The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.
As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the transmitter not be
included when the keys are given to anyone. The service key can be used instead. If one of the transmitters is
misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.
Buttons in remote control
1 - Lock, 2 - Unlock, 3 - Open trunk
4 - "Panic" function *, 5 - Approach lighting
Using the remote control
Press the LOCK button once to lock all doors and trunk.
Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only. Wait for at least 1 second and press this button
again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors, trunk.
To pop open the trunk (without unlocking the other doors), press the OPEN trunk button twice within 3 seconds.
* See page 65
for more information on this function.
NOTE :
If the doors are unlocked, the locks will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2 minutes
unless a door has been opened.
Airbag deployment will automatically unlock the doors.
The keys may also be used to lock and unlock the doors, and to activate and deactivate the alarm system.
To avoid leaving your keys in the car, make a habit of always locking the car with the remote control.
