Vehicles with SRS (Airbag)/SIPS bag/IC (Inflatable Curtain)

WARNING:
Extra caution must be exercised when working on vehicles equipped with SRS/SIPS bag/IC in order to avoid:
1. Personal injuries when performing repair work.
2. Damage or malfunction of the SRS/SIPS bag/IC system.
Work involving the SRS/SIPS bag/IC systems or other components in the vehicle that may affect the SRS/SIPS bag/IC systems must always be performed by an authorized Volvo workshop.
In case of doubt, consult the SRS and SIPS bag/IC service information.

Is the vehicle equipped with SRS/SIPS bag/IC?
Vehicles with SRS are most easily recognized by the letters SRS in the center of the steering wheel. If the vehicle also has a passenger side airbag, the letters SRS are stamped on the dashboard above the glove compartment. SRS vehicles from 1993 and onward also have explosive seat belt tensioners. SIPS bags are only installed on SRS vehicles from 1995 and onward. SIPS bag decals are located on the windshield and seat compartment. Vehicles with IC can be recognized by the letters IC on the C/D panel (4 door) or the B panel (5 door).

General recommendations
- Be especially careful when working on or around SRS, SIPS, and IC components.
- Make sure that no wires are pinched, frayed, or pierced.
- Never install accessories by the sensors.
- Where applicable, work on the steering wheel, steering shaft, or steering gear must be done in accordance with the methods in the SRS.
- Certain components of the aforementioned systems must be grounded while working.
- Install no accessories in the areas between the A and B posts, the B and C posts, and the C and D posts.
