WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System) is activated if
the car is hit from behind with sufficient force. A wire-
braced frame supports the back and helps prevent the
occupant from being pressed too deeply into the back-
rest.
If you end up in a situation in which the car is about to roll over, the safety hoops concealed in the bodywork at
the rear of the car are activated within a fraction of a second. At the same time, the safety belt pre-tensioners
are activated in all four seats, helping to keep you and your passengers restrained in the seats.
When the entire back has been securely cradled by
the backrest, the backrest tips backwards to help
reduce the force that would otherwise throw the head
forward.
The entire backrest moves rearward to help prevent the
occupant from being thrown forward by the crash forces.
At the same time, the upper part of the backrest moves
up and ahead to assist in reducing the strain on the
back and neck.
