Sistema de protección contra latigazo cervical

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.

Cuando WHIPS se activa, los respaldos de los asientos delanteros se desplazan hacia atrás y los cojines de los asientos se desplazan hacia abajo para cambiar la posición de asiento del conductor y del pasajero delantero. Este movimiento ayuda a absorber algunas de las fuerzas que pueden provocar latigazo cervical.

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.

Posición del asiento

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.

Ajuste el asiento delantero en la posición correcta de conducción antes de iniciar la marcha.

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.
