Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)
WARNING!
•The VIC 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 VIC system.
This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
•In order for the VIC 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 21 for guidelines.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the
vehicle occupants in an accident.
Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)
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. It is designed to help protect the
heads of the occupants of the front seats and the occupant of the
outboard rear seating positions in certain side impact collisions.

•Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are
not able to withstand excessive forces on
them in the event of collision if full
harness seat belts or adult seat belts are
installed to them. An adult who uses a belt
anchored in a child restraint anchorage
runs a great risk of suffering severe
injuries should a collision occur.
•Do not install rear speakers that require
the removal of the top tether anchors or
interfere with the proper use of the top
tether strap.
•Top tether straps should be routed beneath
the head restraints.
ISOFIX/LATCH anchors
Lower anchors for ISOFIX-equipped child
seats are located in the rear, outboard seats,
hidden below the backrest cushions.
Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the
anchor positions as shown.
To access the anchors, kneel on the seat
cushion and locate the anchors by feel.
Always follow your child seat manufacturer's
installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX
lower anchors and top tethers whenever
possible.
