Innovated for your enjoyment, the
Volvo safety technologies will protect
more than the fun of driving.
Across the world, Volvo equals safety. And that comes with good reason, because
few carmakers can match our record of safety innovations and the commitment for
safety that has guided us for more than 80 years. Of course, this makes us extremely
proud. But we’re not satisfied. Because we know what we want to achieve: zero
accidents. This huge task calls for innovative thinking and a brand new approach
to the way we design cars. Good news is we’ve already come a long way. For
starters, our cars are more fun and engaging to drive than ever (because a bored
driver will never be a safe driver). Neither is the technology needed any figment
of the imagination – some is already available in your Volvo. This means driving a
Volvo today is like having a first peek at a very exciting automotive future – a future
where passionate engineering and design do more to help you get the most out
of life.
After all, there’s more to life than a Volvo.
Personal gatekeeping.
Inspired by fighter aircraft technology, the
Intelligent Driver Information System (IDIS)
can help reduce your workload in stressful
situations.
Eyes in the back.
Park Assist alerts you if you’re too close to
an obstacle behind your car when reversing.
An eye on the blind spot.
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)
helps you detect vehicles entering your
blind spot.
On-road enlightenment.
Active Bending Lights (ABL) with Dual Xenon
technology expands your vision range when
driving in the dark and provides considerably
improved illumination around bends.
Rain proof.
Water-repellent side windows improve vision
in the rain, and a rain sensor automatically
engages the wipers if it begins to rain or if
water splashes onto your windscreen.
24/7 peace of mind.
Stay cool. Volvo On Call is Volvo’s integrated
emergency and roadside assistance technology.
Exhilarating comfort.
Ergonomic design in seats and driver’s
environment makes you relaxed and helps
maintain your concentration on driving.
Stay on track.
Volvo’s anti-skid system Dynamic Stability
and Traction Control (DSTC) improves
handling and safety in a wide range of
challenging situations.
