Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)
WARNING!
•Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the
function of the WHIPS system.
•If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to
prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event
of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the
WHIPS system.
•If your car has been involved in a rear-end collision, the front seat
backrests must be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components
in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.
•Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.
•Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat could
impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down,
the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so that they do not touch
the folded rear seat.
