Safety
Protection against whiplash
injuries - WHIPS
The WHIPS system ( Whiplash Protection
System) consists of energy absorbing
backrests and specially developed head
restraints in both front seats. The system is
activated upon a collision from behind, based
on the collision angle, speed and nature of
the colliding vehicle.
WARNING!
The WHIPS system is a supplement to
the seat belt. Always use seat belts.
WHIPS
The seat's properties
When the WHIPS system is activated the
front seat backrests fall backwards to alter
the position of the driver's and passengers in
the front. This diminishes the risk of whiplash
injury.
Correct seating position
For the best possible protection, the driver
and front seat passenger should sit in the
centre of the seat with as little distance as
possible between the head restraints and
head.
WHIPS system and child seats
The WHIPS system does not negatively
affect the protective properties of the car with
regard to child seats.
WARNING!
• If the seat has been exposed to a heavy
load strain, such as in a rear-end
collision, the WHIPS system must be
inspected by a Volvo workshop.
Even if the seat seems undamaged,
some of the protective properties of
the WHIPS system may have been
lost. Contact a Volvo workshop to
check the system, even after minor
rear end collisions.
WARNING!
Never modify or repair the seat or
WHIPS system yourself. Contact a
Volvo workshop.
