Whiplash Protection System
(WHIPS)
The WHIPS system consists of specially
designed hinges and brackets on the front seat
backrests designed to help absorb some of the
energy generated in a collision from the rear
(when the vehicle is rear-ended).
In the event of a rear-end collision, the hinges
and brackets of the front seat backrests are
designed to change position slightly to allow the
backrest/head restraint to help support the occu-
pant's head before moving slightly rearward. This
movement helps absorb some of the forces that
could result in whiplash.
WARNING
•
The WHIPS system is designed to sup-
plement the other safety systems in your
vehicle. For this system to function prop-
erly, 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 func-
tion in certain collisions from the rear,
depending on the crash severity, angle
and speed.
