Side impact protection (SIPS) airbags01
31
WARNING
•The SIPS airbag system is a supple- ment to the structural Side ImpactProtection System and the three-pointseat belt system. It is not designed todeploy during collisions from the frontor rear of the vehicle or in rollover sit-uations.
• The use of seat covers on the frontseats may impede SIPS airbag deploy-ment.
• No objects, accessory equipment orstickers may be placed on, attached toor installed near the SIPS airbag sys-tem or in the area affected by SIPS air-bag deployment.
• Never try to open or repair any compo-nents of the SIPS airbag system. Thisshould be done only by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
• In order for the SIPS airbag to provideits best protection, both front seatoccupants should sit in an uprightposition with the seat belt properly fas-tened.
• Failure to follow these instructions canresult in injury to the occupants of thevehicle in the event of an accident.

01 Safety
Inflatable Curtain (IC) 01
32
General information
This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners,stretching from the center of both front sidewindows to the rear edge of the rear sidedoor windows. It is designed to help protectthe heads of the occupants of the front seatsand the occupant of the outboard rear seat-ing positions in certain side impact collisions. In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable
Curtain (IC) and the Side Impact Airbag Sys- tem (SIPS airbag) will deploy. The IC and theSIPS airbag deploy simultaneously.
NOTE
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 isnot designed to deploy during colli-sions from the rear of the vehicle or inrollover situations.
• Never try to open or repair any compo-nents of the IC system. This should bedone only by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.
• Never hang heavy items from the ceil-ing handles. This could impededeployment of the Inflatable Curtain.
• The rear seat should not be loaded toa level higher than 2 in. (5 cm) belowthe upper edge of the rear side win-dows. Objects placed higher than thislevel could impede the function of theInflatable Curtain.
WARNING
In order for the IC to provide its best pro- tection, both front seat occupants andboth outboard rear seat occupants shouldsit in an upright position with the seat beltproperly fastened; adults using the seatbelt and children using the proper childrestraint system. Only adults should sit inthe front seats. Children must never beallowed in the front passenger seat, seepage 38 for guidelines. Failure to followthese instructions can result in injury to thevehicle occupants in an accident.

Whiplash Protection System – WHIPS01
}}
33
General informationWhiplash Protection System (WHIPS) – front seats only
The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the frontseat backrests designed to help absorb someof the energy generated in a collision from therear (when the vehicle is rear-ended). In the event of a collision of this type, the hinges and brackets of the front seat back-rests are designed to change position slightlyto allow the backrest/head restraint to helpsupport the occupant's head before movingslightly rearward. This movement helpsabsorb some of the forces that could result inwhiplash.
WARNING
•The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systemsin your vehicle. For this system tofunction properly, the three-point seatbelt must be worn. Please be awarethat no system can prevent all possibleinjuries that may occur in an accident.
• The WHIPS system is designed tofunction in certain collisions from therear, depending on the crash severity,angle and speed.
WARNING
•Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The occu-pant's back must be as upright ascomfort allows and be against the seatback with the seat belt properly fas-tened.
• If your vehicle has been involved in arear-end collision, the front seat back-rests must be inspected by a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician,even if the seats appear to be undam-aged. Certain components in theWHIPS system may need to bereplaced.
• Do not attempt to service any compo-nent in the WHIPS system yourself.

NOTE
If none of the indicator lights flash when the information button has been pressedseveral times from different places in rela-tion to the vehicle, contact an authorizedVolvo service technician.
The indicator lights provide information according to the illustration:
Steady green light: the vehicle is correctly locked.
Steady yellow light: the vehicle is not locked.
Steady red light: the alarm has been trig- gered since the vehicle was most recentlylocked.
Both red lights flash alternatively: the alarm was triggered less than 5 minutesago.
RangeThe PCC's lock and unlock functions have arange of approximately 60 ft. (20 m) from thevehicle.
NOTE
•The approach lighting, panic alarm, and the functions controlled by theinformation button have a range ofapproximately 300 ft (100 m) from thevehicle.
• Radio waves, buildings or other obsta-cles may interfere with the function ofthe PCC.
If the vehicle does not provide confirmation when a button has been pressed, try movingcloser and pressing the button again.
Outside of the PCC´s rangeIf the PCC is more than approximately 300 ft (100 m) from the vehicle when the informationbutton is pressed, no new information will bereceived. The PCC most recently used to lock or unlock the vehicle will show the vehicle'smost recently received status. The indicatorlights will not flash when the information but-ton is pressed while the PCC is out of range. If more than one PCC is used to lock/unlock the vehicle, only the one used most recentlywill show the correct locking status.
NOTE
If none of the indicator lights illuminate when the information button is pressed,this may be because the most recenttransmission between the vehicle and thePCC was interrupted or impeded by build-ings or other objects.
