Collision warning with Auto-brake*

174

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Introduction

Collision Warning with Auto-brake is designed

to assist the driver if there is a risk of a collision

with a vehicle ahead that is at a standstill or

moving in the same direction as your vehicle.

Collision Warning consists of the following

three functions:

•

Collision Warning warns the driver of a

potential collision situation.

•

Brake Support helps the driver brake effi-

ciently in a critical situation.

•

Auto-brake brakes the vehicle automati-

cally if a collision cannot be avoided. Auto-

brake cannot prevent a collision but can

reduce the speed at which a collision

occurs.

WARNING

The auto-brake function cannot prevent a

collision but instead is intended to reduce

speed at the moment of impact. For full

braking effect, driver must apply the brakes.

WARNING

•

Collision Warning does not work in all

driving, traffic, weather and road condi-

tions. It does not react to vehicles not

traveling in the same direction as your

vehicle.

•

The collision warning system is not

designed to detect pedestrians.

•

Warnings are only provided when the

risk of collision is high. The "Function"

section provides information about lim-

itations that the driver must be aware of

before using Collision Warning.

•

The auto-brake function can help

reduce the speed at impact but the

driver should always apply the brakes

for the best possible braking effect,

even if auto-brake is actively applying

the brakes.

•

Never wait for a collision warning. This

system is designed to be a supplemen-

tary driving aid. It is not, however,

intended to replace the driver's atten-

tion and judgement. The driver is

responsible for maintaining a safe dis-

tance and speed, even when the colli-

sion warning system is in use.

•

Maintenance of the Collision Warning

system's components must only be

performed by a trained and qualified

Volvo technician.

Collision Warning

The radar sensor and the camera work

together to detect stationary vehicles and vehi-

cles that are moving in the same direction as

your vehicle. If there is a risk of collision, the

driver is alerted by a flashing red warning light

and an audible warning signal. Collision warn-

ing is active at speeds above 5 mph (7 km/h).
