Manual Description
Always expect the unexpected – nowhere is this more evident than in urban traffic. Very courteous in slow-moving city traffic – for you, your passengers, your insurance company and anyone in the car in front of you. Sounds like simple common sense to us – which perhaps explains why you'll find it in a Volvo.
Radar and digital camera technology interacts with on-board intelligence (including your own, of course) to constantly monitor vehicles and pedestrians ahead, to help you keep a safe distance from other vehicles and to alert you if you are distracted or unintentionally weave out of your lane. A push of a button, and you can enjoy smooth cruising at all speeds – whether travelling in stop-and-go city traffic or crossing continents. And if a collision is at risk the technology will warn you and – if you don't react – apply full braking force to help prevent a collision.
Having all this additional intelligence turns any journey or commute into an extrasensory experience. Here, supportive technology acts to redefine the pleasure of driving and even predict what's around the corner. If it detects pedestrians at risk, a heads-up display warning will flash and an alarm will sound while the brakes prepare to optimize braking performance.
