01 Safety 01 Whiplash Protection System Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced. WARNING WARNING Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the function of the WHIPS system. • Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself. • Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat could impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down, the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so that they do not touch the folded rear seat. If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the WHIPS system. • G020126 36 G020125
