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 inter-
fere with the action of the WHIPS sys-
tem.
• If your vehicle has been involved in a
rear-end collision, the front seat backr-
ests must be inspected by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician, even
if the seats appear to be undamaged.
Certain components in the WHIPS sys-
tem may need to be replaced.
• Do not attempt to service any compo-
nent 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.
