2006 Volvo V50
WARNING!
- The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systems in your car. For this system to function
properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries
that may occur in an accident.
- The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity,
angle and speed.
WARNING!
- Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort
allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.
WARNING!
- 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.
pg. 26 WHIPS
WARNING!
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.
