2005 Volvo S80
WARNING!
●
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.
●
Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats (see illustration above) could impede the
function of the WHIPS system.
●
The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systems in your car. For this system
to function properly, 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.
●
If your car has been involved in a collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by an
authorized Volvo retailer even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the
WHIPS system may need to be replaced. Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS
system yourself.
●
If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent 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.
●
The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the
crash severity, angle and speed.
●
Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright
as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.

Seat belt maintenance

Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: Attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.
Volvo Concern for Safety
Safety is the Volvo cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the
production line. three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact
zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government
regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety
features and to refine those already in our cars. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your
suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern
with your car. Call us in the U.S. at: 800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 800-663-8255.
Occupant safety
How safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on:
●
How well you see.
