Système de protection contre le coup du lapin

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.

Lorsque le système WHIPS est activé, les dossiers des sièges avant basculent vers l'arrière et les coussins d'assise descendent pour modifier la position des occupants du siège conducteur et du siège passager avant. Ce mouvement contribue à absorber certaines forces pouvant provoquer un coup du lapin.

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.

Position du siège

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.

Réglez le siège avant dans la position de conduite correcte avant de prendre la route.

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.
