WARNING
•
Occupants in the front seats must
never sit out of position. The occu-
pant's back must be as upright as
comfort allows and be against the seat
back with the seat belt properly fas-
tened.
•
If your vehicle has been involved in a
rear-end collision, the front seat back-
rests must be inspected by a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician,
even if the seats appear to be undam-
aged. Certain components in the
WHIPS system may need to be
replaced.
•
Do not attempt to service any compo-
nent in the WHIPS system yourself.
WARNING
•
Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind
the front seats could impede the func-
tion of the WHIPS system.
•
If the rear seat backrests are folded
down, cargo must be secured to pre-
vent 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.
WARNING
Any contact between the front seat back-
rests and the folded rear seat or a rear-
facing child seat could impede the function
of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is
folded down, the occupied front seats
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
must be adjusted forward so that they do
not touch the folded rear seat.
