SAFETY

At the core of every car we make, state-of-the-art technology helps support the driver and

protect the occupants. And to further enhance the Volvo safety experience, there’s a range of

supplementary safety technology – for more performance and peace of mind.

SAFETY Preventive

Collision Warning with Auto Brake (CWAB)*

Primarily designed for highway driving, CWAB can warn you if you’re too close to a vehicle in front and

– if a collision can’t be avoided – can activate the brakes to help mitigate the impact. Within a range of

150 metres, a radar sensor behind the grille and a digital camera behind the windscreen continuously

monitor the distance to the vehicle driving in front of you. If the vehicle suddenly brakes (or is stationary)

and Collision Warning senses that a collision is likely to happen, it will alert you to act with a flashing

red warning light on the windscreen along with an audible alarm. Moreover, this technology supports

driver-initiated braking by pre-charging the brakes to quickly prepare for panic braking and help

shorten the reaction time. If you don’t react to the warning and a collision is imminent, the brakes

will activate automatically.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Distance Alert*

Helping the driver to keep a safe distance from vehicles in front at speeds over 20 mph, ACC is a

supportive partner for a more relaxed driving experience on long journeys and motorways. Just select

the desired speed and the minimum time gap to the vehicle in front. When the radar sensor detects a

slower vehicle in front, the speed automatically adapts to that vehicle. And when the road is clear, the

car resumes the selected speed. If ACC is disengaged and a vehicle in front comes too close, Distance

Alert activates a red warning light in the lower section of the windscreen to help you keep a proper distance.
