Collision warning system with brake support*
04
General
The collision warning system (Collision Warn-
ing with Brake Support, CW) is an aid
designed to warn the driver who is at risk
from driving into a vehicle in front that is driv-
ing in the same direction.
The brake support reduces the collision
speed.
Maintenance of collision warning system
components must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop
.
Function
Functions overview
Visual warning signal, collision risk
Sensor
The radar sensor detects vehicles in front
that are driving in the same direction as you.
In the event of there being a risk of collision
with such a vehicle your attention is drawn
with a red warning lamp and a warning
sound.
If the risk of collision still increases after the
warning then the brake support is activated.
The brake support prepares the brake sys-
tem for rapid braking and the brakes are
applied gently, which may be noticed as a
slight jerk. If the brake pedal is depressed
sufficiently quickly then braking is imple-
mented with full brake function, even if the
force on the pedal is light. The collision warn-
ing system is active between 7 km/h and
180 km/h.
WARNING
The collision warning system does not work
in all driving situations and traffic, weather
and road conditions. The collision warning
system does not react to slow vehicles, sta-
tionary vehicles or vehicles travelling in an-
other direction to the host vehicle.
Warnings are given at the earliest in the
event of high collision risk. The Function
section and after informs about limitations
that the driver must be aware of before use.
The collision warning system has brake
support that only reduces collision speed if
the driver brakes.
Never wait for a collision warning. When
driving you are responsible for maintaining
the correct distance and speed, even when
the collision warning system is used.
