SIPS airbag
As an enhancement to the structural Side Impact Protection System built into your car, your car is also
equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. The SIPS airbag system consists of airbag
modules built into the sides of both front seat backrests (1), cables (2) from these modules to the
mechanical sensor units (3) and gas generators (4). The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase
occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to
deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed, and
point of impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.
WARNING!
The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System and the three-point
seat belt system. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in
rollover situations.
The use of seat covers on the front seats may impede SIPS airbag deployment.
No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the
SIPS airbag system or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment (see illustration to the right
above).
Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should only be done
by an authorized Volvo service technician.
For best protection from the SIPS airbag system, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belt properly fastened.
NOTE: SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the
impact.
