The overhead console always shows the current passenger airbag status. Make a habit of regularly checking it

5.5.3. Side airbags

The side airbags are designed to deploy in the event of a side-on collision.

The side airbags can help protect the driver and front passenger, if they are properly seated, in certain side-on collisions. The

outer side airbag will typically only deploy on the collision side of each front seat. The inner side airbag, which is only fitted on

the driver seat, will typically deploy in the event of a side-on collision on either side of the vehicle.

Side-on collision airbags for the front occupants.

The side airbags are packed into the sides of the seat's back frame. Both front seats have outer side airbags, but the driver seat

also has an inner side airbag.

Both front seats have markings with the text AIRBAG.

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.

Tip

There is more information about airbags and safety in general. Make sure you have read everything about these topics so

that you understand the capabilities and limitations of your car's safety features.

5.5.4. Inflatable curtains

Your car's inflatable curtains help protect occupants seated by a window in certain collisions. They are placed

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.
