Inflatable Side Curtains (IC) Dual Threshold Front Air Bags Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) Side Impact Air Bags (SIPSBAG) Whiplash Protection Seating System (WHIPS) 18 Look in the dictionary under “Safety.” There should be a picture of a Volvo. The S60 is all about safety. High Strength Steel Everything – engine, steering, brakes, suspension, Passenger Safety Cage even details like a rear fog lamp and optional headlamp washers and wipers that improve vision – Front & Rear is functionally integrated to improve safety. It all works ISO-FIX Compliant Energy Absorbing Structure together to give you the tools to avoid an accident. But if an accident is unavoidable, Volvo has a Plan B. The body of the vehicle is designed to help protect occupants as much as possible. Here are some of the steps Volvo takes for that: . High Strength Steel passenger safety cage. Energy absorbing structure with beams that direct energy away from the passenger cage. Transverse engine position helps distribute crash energy. Dual Threshold Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger. Dual stage air bags deploy differently and with different force depending upon the severity of the crash and whether the seat belts are being used. 3-point safety belts with pre-tensioners on all five seating positions. Collapsible 3-stage steering column. Anti-submarining seat design to prevent sliding under the safety belt. Whiplash Protection Seating System (WHIPS). Padded head restraints on all five seats. Protected, strategically positioned fuel tank. Side Impact Protection System (SIPS), patented by Volvo, provides additional structural support. Side Impact Air Bags. Inflatable Side Curtains (IC). Energy absorbing door materials. ISO-FIX compliant. 19 WHIPLASH PROTECTION SEATING SYSTEM Volvo’s Whiplash Protection Seating System (WHIPS) represents an extraordinary automotive safety design advancement. This system, unique to Volvo, is designed to provide markedly better protection from neck and back injuries in the event of a rear impact. Based on exhaustive study of body geometry and accident dynamics, WHIPS is designed to diffuse the violent energy transfer resulting from a rear impact that often produces serious neck and back trauma. Should an S60 be struck from behind, the front seat backrest and head restraint move backwards in parallel while the occupant’s head and upper torso are evenly, firmly and uniformly supported. The backrest is designed to then tip backwards to help prevent the damaging forward whiplash movement. 20 INFLATABLE SIDE CURTAIN Since introducing the three-point seat belt almost In a side impact, IC, in 25 thousandths of a second, 40 years ago, Volvo has consistently advanced the inflates a protective curtain that extends from the cause of automotive safety design with technological windshield pillar to the rear pillar. This protective curtain breakthroughs and patented concepts. The Inflatable has been shown to absorb as much as 75% of the Side Curtain (IC) represents another in this proud energy exerted by the head when it is thrown to the side. line of achievements. IC offers an additional benefit beyond helping IC widens the scope of Volvo’s patented Side to protect the head area from an impact. It also reduces Impact Protection System (SIPS) technology to new the risk of an occupant being partially thrown out through levels of personal occupant protection. This third a side window. IC, together with the SIPS structural stage of the SIPS concept is designed to provide protection and SIPS Air Bags, represents what may be increased protection from head injuries for front the most comprehensive side impact protection of any and back seat door-side occupants.
