01 Safety
Inflatable Curtain (IC) 01
28
Properties
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is a
part of SIPS and the airbags. It is fitted in the
headlining along both sides of the roof and
protects the car's occupants sitting in the outer
seats. A sufficiently violent collision trips the
sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.
The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the
driver and passengers from striking their heads
on the inside of the car during a collision.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only
designed for light clothing (not for solid
objects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the
car's headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could compromise the intended pro-
tection. Volvo recommends that you only
ever use Volvo genuine parts that are
approved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under
the top edge of the door windows. Other-
wise, the intended protection of the inflat-
able curtain, which is concealed in the head-
lining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.

Child safety 01

Press down with your hand in the centre of
the cushion in order to lock it.
WARNING
If the instructions regarding the two-stage
booster cushion are not followed then this
could cause serious injury to a child in the
event of an accident.
IMPORTANT
Check that there are no loose objects (e.g.
toys) left behind in the space under the
cushion before lowering.
NOTE
The booster cushion must be lowered first
when lowering the backrest.
Child safety locks, rear doors
The controls for operating the rear door power
windows and the rear door opening handles
can be blocked from opening from the inside.
For more information, see page 66.
ISOFIX fixture system for child seats
Mounting points for the ISOFIX fixture system
are concealed behind the lower section of the
rear seat backrest, in the outer seats.
The location of the mounting points is indicated
by symbols in the backrest upholstery (see pre-
ceding illustration).
Press the seat cushion down to access the
mounting points.
NOTE
The ISOFIX fixture system is an accessory
for the passenger seat.
Always follow the manufacturer's installation
instructions when connecting a child seat to
the ISOFIX mounting points.
Size classesChild seats are in different sizes – cars are in
different sizes. This means that not all child
seats are suitable for all seats in all car models.
Consequently, there is a size classification for
child seats using the ISOFIX fixture system in
order to assist users in choosing the correct
child seat (see the following table).

Alarm*
02

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.67 General
Activated alarm is triggered if:
•a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened
•a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement
detector*)
•the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector*)
•the battery's cable is disconnected
•the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, the infor-
mation display shows a message. In which
case, contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in
the event of movement in the passenger
compartment - air currents are also regis-
tered. For this reason the alarm is triggered
if the car is left with a window or the sunroof
open or if the passenger compartment
heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof
when leaving the car. If the car's integrated
passenger compartment heater (or a porta-
ble electric heater) shall be used - direct the
airflow from the air vents so that they are not
pointing upwards in the passenger com-
partment.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts
could affect the terms of insurance.

•The LED flashes once every other second

inserted in the ignition switch and key posi-
tion I is selected) – Alarm has been trig-
gered.

doors or the tailgate is opened within
2 minutes, then the alarm is automatically re-
armed. The car is relocked at the same time.
