SAFETY Protective

In a rear impact 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 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 side impact Volvo’s unique Side Impact

Protection System (SIPS) helps distribute the crash

forces across the car’s body, away from the occupants.

The dual-chamber side airbags in the front seats

help protect the chest and hip, while the Inflatable

Curtain (IC) adds head protection.

In a roll-over the robust safety cage and the

reinforced roof structure together with the safety

belts and belt pre-tensioners will help protect the

occupants. If the car first has been hit from the side,

the Inflatable Curtain (IC) deploys to help provide

head protection.

In a frontal collision the patented frontal structure

will yield to help absorb and disperse crash energy.

The compact power train is designed to help optimize

deformation. Inside the car, safety belts interact

with the collapsible steering column and dual-stage

airbags to help keep the occupants out of harm’s way.
