Seating position
For optimum protection from WHIPS the driver
and passenger must have the correct seating
position and make sure that the system's func-
tion is not obstructed.
Set the correct seating position in the front seat
before driving starts.
Driver and front seat passenger should sit in the
centre of the seat with as little space as possible
between the head and the head restraint.
WHIPS and child seats
The protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is
not diminished by WHIPS.

Rear Collision Warning (p. 344)
Pedestrian Protection System
The Pedestrian Protection System (PPS) is a
system which, in certain frontal collisions, con-
tributes to mitigating a pedestrian's impact with
the car.
In certain frontal collisions with a pedestrian, the
sensors in the front of the car react and the sys-
tem is activated.
When PPS is activated, the following occur:
•
The rear section of the bonnet is raised.
•
An automatic alarm is sent via Volvo On Call
*
.
The sensors are active at a speed of approx.
25-50 km/h (15-30 mph).
The sensors are designed to detect a collision
with an object that has similar properties to those
of the human leg.
There may be objects in the traffic environ-
ment that prompt a signal to the sensors that
is similar to a collision with a pedestrian. It is
possible that the system will be activated in
the event of a collision with such an object.
WARNING
Do not fit any accessories or change anything
in the front. Incorrect intervention at the front
may cause incorrect function in the system
and lead to serious injury and damage to the
car.
Volvo recommends that genuine wiper arms
are used and that only genuine parts are used
for them.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the system yourself.
Volvo recommends that an authorised Volvo
workshop should be contacted. Defective
work in the system could cause malfunction
and result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an authorised
Volvo workshop in the event of any damage to
the front of the car in order to ensure that the
system is intact.
