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.

Parking the car in warm weather
If your car has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the
windows and moonroof (option) for several minutes before driving will
help release the warm air from the passenger compartment. When the
engine is running, close the windows and moonroof and use the
recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning
to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional moonroof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional moon-
roof are closed. If you drive with the moonroof open, we recommend
that you manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in
the AUTO switch should be off).

Climate control maintenance
