WARNING
Be sure to never hinder the function of the
WHIPS system!
• If a rear backrest is folded down, the
corresponding front seat must be
adjusted so that it is not in contact
with the folded backrest.
• Avoid placing boxes or similar cargo
so that it is clamped between the seat
cushion of the rear seat and the
backrest of the front seat.
WARNING
If the seat has been exposed to a heavy load
strain, such as in a rear-end collision, the
WHIPS system should be inspected by an
authorised Volvo workshop. Even if the seat
does not appear damaged, the WHIPS
system may have deployed without causing
visible damage to the seat. The protective
capacity of the WHIPS system may be
impaired. Have the system checked at an
authorised Volvo workshop even after
minor rear-end collisions. Never modify or
repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself!
