WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System)
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.
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!
WHIPS and child seat
The WHIPS system does not negatively affect the protective properties of
the car as regards Volvo child seats. As long as there is no passenger side
airbag (SRS), a child seat may be placed on the front passenger seat. The
WHIPS system stills functions if a rear-facing child seat is placed on the
rear seat with the support against the front seat backrest.
WARNING!
Never obstruct WHIPS sys-
tem functions!
· If a rear backrest has been
lowered, adjust the correspon-
ding front seat in order to
avoid contact with the lowered
backrest.
· Avoid placing boxes or sim-
ilar cargo so that they are
clamped between the rear seat
cushion and the front seat
backrest.
