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
motorised 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.

SAFET Y Protective
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 infla-
tion 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 subse-
quent impacts.
