Volvo XC90: Safety / Side airbags
The side airbags, on the driver's and passenger sides, protect the chest and
hip in a collision.

The side airbags are located in the front seats' outer backrest frames and help
protect the driver and front seat passenger.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trigger the sensors and one
or more side airbags will inflate. The side airbags inflate between the seat occupant
and the door panel to help cushion the initial impact of the collision. The airbag
deflates when compressed by the collision. The side airbags are normally only deployed
on the side of the vehicle impacted by the collision.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop for repairs. Incorrectly
performed repairs to the side airbag system could impair function and lead to serious
injury.
WARNING
Do not place any objects in the area between the outer edges of the seats
and the door panels, as this could impair the function of the side airbags.
Volvo recommends only using seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers
could prevent the side airbags from functioning properly.
WARNING
The side airbag is a supplement to the seat belt. Always wear your seat
belt.
