CITY SAFETY

Volvo Cars of Canada

City Safety will from the All New Volvo XC90 onwards be used as an umbrella name for all collision

avoidance functionalities, previously known as City Safety but also as Collision Warning with Full Auto

Brake. A compact combined radar and camera unit behind the windscreen will detect other road users. If

City Safety judges that a collision is imminent, it will warn the driver with a head-up light in the

windscreen, an audible warning sound as well as a short, light brake pulse, and at the same time

prepares the brake system as well as the safety belts for immediate efficiency. Should the driver not

react or react too late, City Safety will brake the car autonomously.

City Safety detects other vehicles,

but also cyclists and even

pedestrians, and is active at all

speeds over 4 km/h, during the

day and even in the dark. Up to a

relative speed difference of 50

km/h, accidents with other cars

can be avoided. At higher speed

differences, the collision is

mitigated. Avoiding collisions with

cyclists or pedestrians is possible

up to speeds up to 45 km/h

relative speed difference.
