Collision warning system* 15
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to
assist the driver when there is a risk of collid-
ing with a pedestrian, cyclist or vehicle in
front that are stationary or moving in the same
direction.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is activated
in situations where the driver should have
started braking earlier, which is why it cannot
help the driver in every situation.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is designed
to be activated as late as possible in order to
avoid unnecessary intervention.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" can pre-
vent a collision or reduce collision speed.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" must not
be used as an excuse for the driver to change
his/her driving style. If the driver solely relies
on Collision Warning with Auto Brake to do
the braking, there might be a risk of a colli-
sion sooner or later.
Two system levels
Depending on how the car is equipped, the
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" function
may appear in two variants:
Level 1
The driver is merely warned
16
of occurring
obstacles by means of visual and acoustic
signals - no automatic braking intervenes, the
driver must himself brake.
Level 2
The driver is warned of occurring obstacles
by means of visual and acoustic signals - the
car is braked automatically if the driver him-
self does not act within a reasonable time.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of the internal components of
the "Collision Warning with Auto Brake
and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection"
must only be performed at a workshop -
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
