01 Safety

WHIPS

Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS

G020347

The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con-

sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe-

cially designed head restraints for the front

seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end

collision, where the angle and speed of the col-

lision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle all

have an influence.

WARNING

The WHIPS system is a supplement to the

seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

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.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS

system yourself. Volvo recommends that

you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

WHIPS system and child seats/booster

cushions

The protection provided by the car to children

seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion

is not diminished by the WHIPS system.

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 space as possible

between the head and the head restraint.
