What Air Bag safety features are included in the front seats to protect occupants during a side impact on Volvo V40?

Both front seats are also fitted with a side impact protection system (SIPS) airbag which inflates in the event of a side impact to provide a cushion between the occupant and the door, reducing the risk of serious injury. Each seat assembly has a unit of sensors and a unit of air bags, with the sensor on the seat cushion frame and the airbag on the seat back frame, connected by tubes filled by combustible gas. The sensor is programmed to deploy the airbag only if the impact is significant, i.e. if the door impacts the seat at a speed of 2 m/s or more. In serious impacts, the sensor's cover deforms, setting off the ignition charge which inflates the airbag in milliseconds, creating protection before deflating almost immediately after impact. In the case of working on the front seats, it is very important that a protective tool is used over the SIPS sensor to avoid its accidental activation, by the care to access and fix it in place. From May 2000 onwards, the airbags in the front seats are integrated into a SIPS including side curtain airbags, with side impact sensors looking out for severe impacts. The side airbags deploy only on the side of impacted vehicle, and handling the later type front seats has less risk of triggering the airbags, although precautions should be taken when disconnecting the wiring. Side curtain airbags deploy from the panels in the roof during severe side impacts and prevent head or upper body injury to passengers and their presence must be taken into account when installing aftermarket equipment which may result in drilling in this area.

Volvo Air Bag

The Volvo Air Bag inflates in milliseconds to cushion the occupants, providing them with a softer barrier to protect them from injury, enormously reducing the risk. Volvo began producing vehicles in 1927 and has continued to establish a reputation for clean Scandinavian design, simple controls, strong brakes and the life-saving three-point seat belt. The company invests in electric powertrains and plug-in hybrids and has a clear focus for future-friendly mobility without ever compromising on durability. Today, Volvo promotes sustainability through lightweight materials and efficient engines. Every Volvo model combines comfort and practical elements that make young drivers feel confident, from smart instrumentation to robust body structures that hold up well in real-life crashes. Along with these general strengths, the Air Bag system provides an active layer of protection that works in concert with the seat belt, not in place of it. Each Air Bag contains crash sensors and a small charge of nitrogen for filling a flexible fabric bag nearly instantly and venting it to allow the rider to decelerate slowly instead of bouncing off hard panels. A built-in reserve power supply allows the device to still be deployed if the battery is cut during impact, and a light on the dashboard flashes when starting up to confirm readiness. By combining reliable electronics and intelligent management of the energy stored in the bag, the Volvo Air Bag provides a reliable safeguard to drivers and passengers across the entire lineup in frontal collisions.

Trust OEM Air Bag for quality that holds up. These parts use top-tier materials to keep your ride running smooth. Because they match exact Volvo specs, you get a flawless fit and a hassle-free install every single time. No more fighting with parts that just won't line up. It is easy to search our massive stock of genuine Volvo options at prices you will really like. Every part comes with a real manufacturer's warranty and a simple return policy. Plus, we ship fast to get your order to you. Shop with confidence and give your Volvo the reliability it deserves.

Q: What Air Bag safety features are included in the front seats to protect occupants during a side impact on Volvo V40?
A:
Both front seats are also fitted with a side impact protection system (SIPS) airbag which inflates in the event of a side impact to provide a cushion between the occupant and the door, reducing the risk of serious injury. Each seat assembly has a unit of sensors and a unit of air bags, with the sensor on the seat cushion frame and the airbag on the seat back frame, connected by tubes filled by combustible gas. The sensor is programmed to deploy the airbag only if the impact is significant, i.e. if the door impacts the seat at a speed of 2 m/s or more. In serious impacts, the sensor's cover deforms, setting off the ignition charge which inflates the airbag in milliseconds, creating protection before deflating almost immediately after impact. In the case of working on the front seats, it is very important that a protective tool is used over the SIPS sensor to avoid its accidental activation, by the care to access and fix it in place. From May 2000 onwards, the airbags in the front seats are integrated into a SIPS including side curtain airbags, with side impact sensors looking out for severe impacts. The side airbags deploy only on the side of impacted vehicle, and handling the later type front seats has less risk of triggering the airbags, although precautions should be taken when disconnecting the wiring. Side curtain airbags deploy from the panels in the roof during severe side impacts and prevent head or upper body injury to passengers and their presence must be taken into account when installing aftermarket equipment which may result in drilling in this area.
