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.

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.
