Protection against whiplash injury –
WHIPS The whiplash protection system (WHIPS)
consists of energy absorbing backrests and
specially designed head restraints in the front
seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end
collision, where the angle and speed of the
collision, and the nature of the colliding vehi-
cle all have an influence.
Properties of the seat
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the
front seat backrests are lowered backward to
alter the seating position of the driver and
front seat passenger. This reduces the risk of
whiplash injury.
WHIPS system and child seats/booster
cushions
The WHIPS system does not diminish the
protection provided by the car to children
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only de-
signed for light clothing (not for solid ob-
jects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the
car’s headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could compromise the intended pro-
tection. Only ever use Volvo genuine parts
that are approved for placement in these ar-
eas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm
under the top edge of the side windows.
Otherwise, the intended protection of the
inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the
headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
