Seats, seat belts and airbags

Airbags complement the protection offered by the safety belts. They are located in the front (including a knee

airbag on the driver side) as well as integrated in the side of the front seat back rests. Passengers in the

second and third seat row are protected in an optimal way by the Inflatable Curtains integrated in the

longitudinal part of the roof, above the doors and (7-seater) the rearmost side windows.

Moreover, in the Volvo XC90, information from

different sources like the sensors that activate

the airbags, the radar/camera unit behind the

windscreen, the brake system etc, is constantly

monitored. Should a critical situation occur, the

safety belts are tightened (and released

afterwards) electrically on two different levels,

depending on the severity of the situation. The

way in which this is done, as well as the number

of different situations where it is activated

(particularly if the car runs off road into rough

terrain), make the Prepared Safety Belts another

World First to be proud of!
