SAFETY
||
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS
yourself. Volvo recommends that an
authorised Volvo workshop should be con-
tacted.
If the front seats have been subjected to a
major load, such as in conjunction with a
collision, the seats must be replaced. Some
of the seats' protective properties may
have been lost even if they do not appear
damaged.
Do not leave any objects on the floor behind or under
the front seats or in the rear seat that may prevent
WHIPS from functioning.

WARNING
Do not squeeze rigid objects between the
rear seat cushion and the front seat's back-
rest.
If a backrest in the rear seat is lowered
then any load must be secured to prevent it
from sliding up to the front seat backrest in
the event of a collision.
WARNING
If a backrest in the rear seat is lowered or a
rear-facing child seat is used in the rear
seat, the corresponding front seat must be
moved forward so that it does not make
contact with the lowered backrest or child
seat.
Seating position
For good protection from WHIPS the driver
and passenger must have the correct seating
position and make sure that the system's
function is not obstructed.
Set the correct seating position in the front
seat before driving starts.
Driver and front seat passenger should sit in
the centre of the seat with as little space as
possible between the head and the head
restraint.
WHIPS and child seats
The protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion
is not diminished by WHIPS.
