01 Safety 01 Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC) The Volvo Inflatable Curtain system This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from the center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side door windows. It is designed to help protect the heads of the occupants of the front and rear seats in certain side impact collisions. In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Curtain (VIC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS airbag) will deploy. The VIC and the SIPS airbag deploy simultaneously. NOTE If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 3 seconds. WARNING • The VIC 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 rollover situations. Never try to open or repair any components of the VIC system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. Never hang heavy items from the ceiling handles. This could impede deployment of the Inflatable curtain. • • 30 G007478
