Peitschenschutzsystem

The Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) is designed to help reduce the risk of whiplashtype injuries. The system consists of energy absorbing backrests and seat cushions as well as specially designed head restraints in the front seats.

WHIPS is activated in the event of a rear-end collision and adapted to the angle and speed of the collision and to the characteristics of the colliding vehicle.

Wenn WHIPS aktiviert wird, bewegen sich die Rückenlehnen der Vordersitze nach hinten und die Sitzkissen nach unten, um die Sitzposition von Fahrer und Beifahrer zu verändern. Diese Bewegung hilft, einige Kräfte abzufangen, die zu einem Schleudertrauma führen können.

Do not place any objects on the floor behind or under the front seats or on the rear seat that could prevent WHIPS from functioning correctly.

Sitzposition

For WHIPS to provide good protection, the driver and passenger must be seated correctly and the system's function must not be impeded in any way.

Stellen Sie den Vordersitz vor Fahrtantritt in die richtige Sitzposition.

The driver and the front seat passenger should sit in the center of the seat with their heads as close as possible to the head restraints.
