Whiplash unit, checking

As the illustrations in this service information are used for different model years and / or models, some variation may occur. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.

Note! The WHIPS unit must be checked after every collision.

Note! The illustration shows the left end mounting. The right end mounting is the mirror image.




The nut always faces the center of the seat.
(A) = reference mark. Always the second outermost section of the WHIPS mounting.
(B) = deformation element in the WHIPS mounting.
Fold the backrest backwards.




Check that the marking / edge of the deformation element (B) is not in front of the reference mark (A). See the illustration.
If the deformation section (B) is in front of the reference mark (A), the deformation element must be replaced. See Whiplash unit, replacing Front Seat, Driver's Seat, Front Seat.

Note! The deformation element must always be replaced if it is deformed.

Note! Always check both the right and left-hand sides of both the front seats.
