Inflatable Curtain (IC)
01
Properties
The inflatable curtain, IC (Inflatable Curtain),
is a supplement to the SIPS system. It is fit-
ted in the headlining along both sides of the
roof and protects both front and rear seat
passengers. A sufficiently violent collision
trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is
inflated. The inflatable curtain helps to pre-
vent the driver and front seat passenger 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 de-
signed for light clothing (not for solid ob-
jects 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. 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 side windows.
Otherwise, the intended protection of the
inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the
headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
