Warning
Do not block the side airbags
Do not place any objects on either side of the front seats. Objects between the seats and the door panel, or between
the seats and the tunnel console, can interfere with the side airbags.
Do not use seat covers that have not been approved by Volvo.
Blocking airbags in general
Keep all airbag locations and expansion spaces free of obstructions. Obstructions can reduce airbag effectiveness and
cause serious injury.
Follow the instructions for a correct sitting posture.
Properly stow luggage and other objects. The car has several luggage compartments for safe stowing.
Do not modify or mount accessories to any panel covering an airbag or adjacent panels.

above the doors on both sides of the car.
The inflatable curtains are designed to help protect the head of a properly seated and secured occupant. Unlike conventional
airbags, the inflatable curtains stay inflated for an extended time after deployment.
