SAFET Y Preventive
Intelligent Driver Information System (IDIS)
Active Bending Lights (ABL)*
To help avoid distractions during critical driving situations, IDIS constantly analyzes your driving and
will delay secondary information from the car or one of its onboard systems when it detects intense
steering, braking or acceleration. As soon as things calm down, the phone call or the delayed information
is presented.
In addition to improving illumination using Dual
Xenon light technology, the Active Bending
Lights give a boost to your vision round bends
at night. Controlled by microprocessors, the
motorized lamps turn up to 15 degrees in either
direction when driving – reliably lighting up your
chosen path. A twilight sensor disengages the
adaptive function during daylight to extend its
life span.
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.

Restraint technologies
In a collision, Volvo’s restraint technologies interact to help reduce the impact.
The safety belts with pre-tensioners activate within a few thousandths of a
second in the event of a collision and tighten the belt to help keep the occupants
securely restrained. The front seat safety belts then release a little so that the
driver and passenger are cushioned by the airbags in a controlled manner.
Helping to optimise protection, the dual-stage airbags adapt the level of
inflation depending on the force of the collision. The driver’s airbag also interacts
with the deformation of the collapsible steering column. Side airbags in the front
seats help reduce the risk of serious injuries in a side collision. The Inflatable
Curtain (IC) helps protect the heads of both front and rear outboard occupants.
It also stays inflated for some seconds to provide prolonged protection for
subsequent impacts.
Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC)
Adaptive brake light
By helping prevent fishtails, spinouts, and rollovers, stability control technology like DSTC has been
described as one of the most vital safety advances of the past decade. DSTC is able to detect a
potential skid and help counteract this one by reducing the engine’s power output, or braking on
one or more wheels.
Active at speeds above 30 mph, the adaptive brake light can sense the difference between normal and
panic braking. If it is a panic situation, all the brake lights will flash at a rate of four times per second.
Once your speed slows to below 19 mph, the lights stop flashing and hazard lights flash instead. Using
LED technology that needs less time to light up than regular bulbs, traffic behind you can react sooner.
