SupportSystems that help make driving safer are an inte- gral part of IntelliSafe. These include optional features such as Adaptive Cruise Control * that
helps maintain a set distance to a vehicle ahead,Park Assist Pilot *, which assists in parking the
vehicle, Cross Traffic Alert *, Blind Spot
Information *, etc.
Accident preventionSystems such as City Safety are designed to automatically apply the brakes in situations inwhich the driver does not have time to react. Lane Keeping Aid * alerts the driver if the vehicle
inadvertently crosses a lane's/road's side marker line.
ProtectionThe vehicle is equipped with e.g., seat belt pre-tensioners that pull the seat belts taut in criticalsituations when there is a collision risk andnumerous airbags designed to help provide cush-ioning if certain types of collisions should occur.

Inflatable curtainsThe inflatable curtain is designed to help protect the heads of the occupants of the front seatsand the occupant of the outboard rear seatingpositions in certain side impact collisions.
This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching fromthe center of both front side windows to the rearedge of the rear side door windows. In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Cur-
tain (IC) and the side Impact Airbag System (SIPS airbag) will deploy. The IC and the SIPSairbag deploy simultaneously.
WARNING
• Never try to open or repair any compo- nents of the IC system. This should bedone only by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician.
• Never hang heavy items from the ceilinghandles. This could impede deploymentof the Inflatable Curtain.
• The cargo area and rear seat should notbe loaded to a level higher than 4 in.(10 cm) below the upper edge of the rearside windows. Objects placed higher thanthis level could impede the function ofthe Inflatable Curtain.
• 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.
