Inflatable Curtain (IC)
The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and passengers from striking theirheads on the inside of the car during a colli-sion.
Inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is part of the SIPS system (p. 31) and the airbag sys-tem (p. 28). It is fitted in the headlining alongboth sides of the roof and protects the car'soccupants sitting in the outer seats. A suffi-ciently violent collision trips the sensors andthe inflatable curtain is inflated.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hook is onlydesigned for light clothing (not for solidobjects such as umbrellas for example). Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side pan-els. This could compromise the intendedprotection. Volvo recommends that youonly ever use Volvo genuine parts that areapproved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the door windows.Otherwise, the intended protection of theinflatable curtain, which is concealed in theheadlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
