As far as I'm aware all 960/S/V90s '96+ have side airbags in the front seats. You can probably feel the lump in the side of the seatback. You are correct about SIPS (side impact protection system), it did originally stand for a structural change that was introduced in the '92 700/900 models. In '95 Volvo introduced the side airbag in the 850 and from then on the SIPS system included side airbags. I'm not sure what structural changes Volvo made in '92 to the 700s and 900s as the only difference I've ever noticed was a SIPS label at the bottom of the B pillar and a different seatbelt setup. Maybe there is more structure under the seats or something.....I know when I discovered that the 96+ RWDs had side airbags in North America, I thought it was pretty cool! :)
