Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)
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.
•In order for the VIC to provide its best protection, 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 21 for guidelines.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the
vehicle occupants in an accident.
Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)
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 seats and the occupant of the
outboard rear seating positions in certain side impact collisions.

WARNING!
•The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety
systems in your car. For this system to function properly, the three-
point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can
prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
•The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions
from the rear, depending on the crash severity, angle and speed.
•Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The
occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be
against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.
(contd. on following page)

16
Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)
WARNING!
•Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the
function of the WHIPS system.
•If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to
prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event
of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the
WHIPS system.
•If your car has been involved in a rear-end collision, the front seat
backrests must be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components
in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.
•Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.
•Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat could
impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down,
the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so that they do not touch
the folded rear seat.

WARNING!
•Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in
the front passenger’s seat. We also recommend that children under 4
feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices
sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
•On hot days, the temperature in the vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures for even a short period
of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.

•Both rear seat backrests must be up when
the auxiliary seat is being used.
•Do not use a booster cushion or child seat
in conjunction with the auxiliary seat.
•The luggage net should be retracted.
•The child safety lock in the tailgate should
be on to prevent children from inadvert-
ently opening the tailgate from the inside.
•The exhaust pipe will still be hot when the
engine is turned off. Take care that
children do not burn themselves when
they get into or out of the car.

WARNING!
•
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY
can occur
•Follow all instructions on the
booster cushion and in the vehi-
cle's owner's manual.
•MAKE SURE THE BOOSTER
CUSHION IS SECURELY
LOCKED BEFORE THE CHILD

•Use this booster cushion only with
children who weigh between 33
and 80 lbs (15 and 36 kg) and
whose height is between 38 and 54
in (97 and 137 cm).
•In the event of a collision while the
integrated booster cushion was occupied,
the entire booster cushion and seat belt
must be replaced. The booster cushion
should also be replaced if it is badly worn
or damaged in any way. This work should
be performed by an authorized Volvo
retailer only.

•Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are
not able to withstand excessive forces on
them in the event of collision if full
harness seat belts or adult seat belts are
installed to them. An adult who uses a belt
anchored in a child restraint anchorage
runs a great risk of suffering severe
injuries should a collision occur.
•Do not install rear speakers that require
the removal of the top tether anchors or
interfere with the proper use of the top
tether strap.
•Top tether straps should be routed beneath
the head restraints.
ISOFIX/LATCH anchors
Lower anchors for ISOFIX-equipped child
seats are located in the rear, outboard seats,
hidden below the backrest cushions.
Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the
anchor positions as shown.
To access the anchors, kneel on the seat
cushion and locate the anchors by feel.
Always follow your child seat manufacturer's
installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX
lower anchors and top tethers whenever
possible.
