Safety

WHIPS

Protection against whiplash

injury – WHIPS

The WHIPS system (Whiplash Protection

System) consists of energy absorbing back-

rests and specially designed head restraints

for the front seats. The system is actuated by

a rear-end collision, where the angle and

speed of the collision, and the properties of

the colliding vehicle all have an influence.

Properties of the seat

When the WHIPS system is deployed, the

front seat backrests fall backward to alter the

position of the driver and front seat passen-

ger. This diminishes 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

seated in a child seat or on a booster

cushion.

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 pos-

sible between the head and the head

restraint.

WARNING!

The WHIPS system is a supplement to the

seatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.

WARNING!

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS

system yourself. Contact an authorised

Volvo workshop.
