in front within 20-26 feet is at a standstill or is moving
slower. If City Safety senses an impending collision, the
brakes are pre-charged to act faster on your response.
And if you don’t brake, City Safety automatically applies the
brakes and switches off the throttle to help mitigate the
effects of a collision. And if the speed difference between
your car and the vehicle in front is 9 mph or less, City Safety
can even help you avoid a collision. City Safety is activated
when you start the car.
unexpectedly steps out in front of your car or if a 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 car immediately brakes with full braking force.
S60 Technology Package
Adding to both your safety margins and the driving
experience, some of Volvo’s most advanced safety driver’s
support innovations are available in this comprehensive
package. Among many things, this includes groundbreaking
technology to help avoid collisions, detect pedestrians and
alert a distracted driver.
The Technology Package contains the following features:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Queue Assist and
Distance Alert, Collision Warning and Pedestrian Detection
with Full Auto Brake, Driver Alert Control (DAC), Lane
Departure Warning (LDW).
Dual Xenon headlights with Active Bending lights
(ABL) (included in the optional Premium Package)
Compared to conventional halogen headlamps, Active
Bending Lights use Dual Xenon technology to expand your
vision range by about 230%. This means you’ll be helped to
gain 150 feet more for braking. And using motorised lamps
that turn up to 15° in either direction, this technology gives a
Driver Alert Control (DAC)
Up to 90% of all traffic accidents are caused by driver
distraction. Driver Alert Control is a unique technology that
can help alert a tired or distracted driver at speeds over
40
mph. Using signals from a digital camera to monitor the
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Queue Assist
and Distance Alert
road ahead along with data from steering wheel movements,
DAC can compare erratic behaviour to your normal driving
style. A level indicator helps you keep an eye on your
alertness status. If DAC detects that your driving behaviour
shows signs of drowsiness or distraction, you receive an
audible warning. At the same time, a message is displayed in
the instrument panel suggesting it might be time for a break.
Helping the driver to keep a safe distance from vehicles in
front at all speeds up to 125 mph, this third generation ACC
is a supportive partner for a more relaxed driving experience
on any journey. In slow moving city traffic up to 18 mph, the
new Queue Assist function automatically adapts your speed
to the vehicle in front. From standstill, a press of a button or
the accelerator is all it takes to make your car smoothly tail
the vehicle in front. At speeds over 18 mph, 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.
90%
boost to your vision round bends at night. You can enjoy
highly effective low beam illumination on narrow, winding
roads and extremely powerful full beams on the motorway.
A daylight sensor disengages the adaptive function during
daytime to extend its lifespan. Independent of the load, these
headlights self-adjust to maintain the correct angle to the
road – even during hard acceleration or braking.
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
At speeds over 40 mph, Lane Departure Warning can help
prevent single-vehicle road departures as well as collisions
caused by temporary distraction. This function uses the digital
camera to register the lane markings and help monitor the
car’s position on the road. If you weave out of your lane, LDW
will alert with an audible signal. If you intentionally cross a lane
marker using the direction indicators, LDW is not activated.
Intelligent Driver Information System (IDIS)
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 delayed information is presented.
Anti-locking brakes with Hydraulic Brake Assist
(HBA) and Ready Alert Brakes (RAB)
Blind Spot information System (BLIS) (optional)
BLIS uses rear-facing cameras installed in the door mirrors
to keep a lookout on either side of the car. As a vehicle
enters your blind spot, this function can alert you with a lamp
built in to the front door post – left or right. Together with the
door mirrors, this helps you assess the feasibility of a lane
change. BLIS is activated once the car exceeds 6 mph,
and reacts to almost any type of vehicle from a motorcycle
upwards, day or night.
Collision Warning and Pedestrian Detection with Full
Auto Brake
Statistics show that in 50% of the rear end collisions the
causing driver doesn’t brake at all. Active in all speeds above
Generously dimensioned anti-locking disc brakes and
optimized hydraulics help to ensure a short stopping distance
in all situations. Furthermore, they withstand tough use
without fading. Hydraulic Brake Assist helps you use your
brakes to the full in an emergency situation, while Ready
Alert Brakes anticipate severe braking and prepare for it by
moving the brake pads closer to the discs. Fading Brake
Support automatically compensates for the higher pedal
forces required after long periods of heavy braking.
Electronic Brake Distribution distributes the braking effect
between the front and rear wheels to achieve optimal results
according to load and driving conditions.

.5 mph, this third generation collision avoidance technology
can warn you if you’re too close to a vehicle in front or if
there are pedestrians in your path. If you don’t react and a
collision is imminent, full auto-braking is engaged to help you
avoid or mitigate an impact. Within a range of 500 feet, 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. During daylight it can also
detect standing or moving pedestrians. If a pedestrian
