Far-side airbags
The far-side airbags are fitted in the inner backrest frames of the front seats and help to protect the driver and passengers in the front seat. The seat is marked AIRBAG.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the far-side airbag is inflated. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the tunnel console and thereby cushions the initial impact.
Warning
Warning
Do not put objects in the area between the inside of the seat and the tunnel console, since this area is required by the side airbag.
Volvo recommends the use only of car seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.
Warning
Side airbags and child seats
The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the side airbag.
