WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System)
8502213e
WHIPS
This system consists of energy absorbing backrests and specially
developed head restraints in both front seats.
WHIPS seat
WHIPS is activated in event of a collision from behind, based on the
collision angle, speed and nature of the colliding vehicle. Upon activation
the backrests of the front seats, if occupied, move backwards and the
seating position of the occupants in the front seats is altered. This
diminishes the risk of whiplash injury.
Correct seating position
For the best possible protection, you and your front seat passenger
should sit in the centre of your seats with as little distance as possible
between the head restraints and your heads.
* For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS), see page 17.
WHIPS and child seat
The WHIPS system does not diminish the protection provided by the car
to children seated in a child seat/booster cushion.
Provided there is no activated* passenger airbag (SRS), a child seat/
booster cushion can be placed on the front passenger seat.front seat
backrest.
WARNING!
If the seat has been exposed to a heavy load strain, for example a
collision, the WHIPS system should be inspected at an authorised
workshop. Even if the seat does not appear damaged, the WHIPS
system may have deployed without causing visible damage to the
seat. Parts of the WHIPS protective capacity may have been lost.
Allow an authorised Volvo workshop to check the system even after
minor collision from behind. Never modify or repair the seat or the
WHIPS system yourself!
