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.
SAFET Y Preventive
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Distance Alert*
Collision Warning with Auto Brake (CWAB)*
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.
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.
