Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)
8502213e
Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) - front
seats only
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 collision of this type, 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 occupant'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 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.
•
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.
