SAFET Y Protective
In a Volvo, safety is about interaction. Because it’s not
the number of safety features that determines how
safe a car is. It’s how well they seamlessly interact to
help keep the occupants out of harm’s way.
IN A RE AR IMPAC T the rear deformation zones
will help absorb crash energy. The fuel tank is
designed to remain well protected in front of the
rear axle. The head restraints help protect the neck
and spine, and Volvo’s unique Whiplash Protection
System (WHIPS) cradles the front seat occupants
in a controlled manner to help prevent whiplash
injuries.
IN A SIDE IMPAC T Volvo’s unique Side Impact
Protection System (SIPS) helps distribute the crash
forces across the car’s body, away from the occu-
pants. The side airbags in the front seats help
protect the chest and hip, while the door-mounted
Inflatable Curtain (IC) adds head protection.
IN A ROLL- OVER the Roll-Over Protection
IN A FRONTAL COLLISION the patented
System (ROPS) instantly deploys the retracted rear
steel roll bars to form a safety cage together with
the reinforced windscreen pillars. In the same
instant, the door-mounted Inflatable Curtain (IC)
and safety belt pre-tensioners are activated to help
protect occupants.
frontal structure will yield to help absorb and dis-
perse crash energy. The compact power train is
designed to help optimise deformation. Inside the
car, safety belts interact with the collapsible steer-
ing column and dual-stage airbags to help keep the
occupants out of harm’s way.
