NOTE: IC system deployment occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. In certain side impacts, BOTH the Inflatable Curtain (IC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will deploy, whereas, in some cases, ONLY the Inflatable Curtain (IC) will deploy. In cases where BOTH the IC and the SIPS-bag deploy, deployment will occur simultaneously. 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 is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in most rollover situations. · Never try to open or repair any components of the IC system. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician. · The inflatable curtains are designed to deploy only during certain sideimpact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. The inflatable curtains are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations. · For best protection from the IC, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. See page 14 for guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident. Contents | Top of Page

NOTE:
IC system deployment occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact.
In certain side impacts,
BOTH
the Inflatable Curtain (IC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will deploy,
whereas, in some cases,
ONLY
the Inflatable Curtain (IC) will deploy. In cases where
BOTH
the IC and the SIPS-bag
deploy, deployment will occur simultaneously.
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 is not designed to deploy during collisions
from the front or rear of the car or in most rollover situations.
· Never try to open or repair any components of the IC system. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo
service technician.
· The inflatable curtains are designed to deploy only during certain sideimpact collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and impact. The inflatable curtains are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.
· For best protection from the IC, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear seat occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child
restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat.
