Inflatable curtain The inflatable curtain, Inflatable Curtain (IC), helps to prevent the driver and passengers fromstriking their heads on the inside of the car dur-ing a collision.
The inflatable curtain is mounted along both sides of the headlining and helps protect thedriver and outer seat passengers of the car. The panels are labelled with IC AIRBAG.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hooks are onlydesigned for light coats and jackets (not forsolid objects such as umbrellas). Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side panels. Thiscould compromise the intended protection.Volvo recommends only using Volvo genuineparts that are approved for fitting within theseareas.
WARNING
Leave 10 cm space between the load and the side windows if the car is loaded to above thetop edge of the door windows. Otherwise, theintended protection of the inflatable curtain,which is concealed in the headlining, may becompromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
