9-inch centre display with touch screen
Our 9-inch centre display with touch screen allows you to intuitively control the functions of your Volvo and stay connected. The touch screen's large virtual buttons are easy to find and operate, while the display's portrait format facilitates your overview. The virtual buttons are dynamic– when needed, they become bigger and appear on the lower part of the screen to be easy to find and control. You can also rearrange the virtual buttons to suit your personal preferences. To make it comfortable and safe for you to view the display while driving, all information is presented in the upper part of the screen while the lower part is dedicated for the touch controls. Advanced touch screen technology means your finger barely needs to touch the screen to activate or control a function. Some commands you can perform just by sweeping a finger or a hand across the screen – even with gloves on. Contributing to the elegant clean Scandinavian look of the cabin, the full graphical display is glossy at the same time as anti-reflective coating minimises reflections and glare.

Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control adapts the speed to help you maintain a safe distance to slower vehicles. Just select desired speed and time gap to the vehicle in front, and enjoy smooth driving from standstill up to 200 km/h. At speeds over 70 km/h, Adaptive Cruise Control also supports overtaking by briefly accelerating your car towards the vehicle in front when you turn the indicator on. It adapts to the ECO and Dynamic drive modes, which helps you save fuel or enjoy a more dynamic driving experience. For an even smoother drive, Adaptive Cruise Control also adapts to ascents and descents ahead if your Volvo is equipped with Sensus Navigation. Adaptive Cruise Control is part of IntelliSafe Assist.
Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

Rear Collision Warning with braking at standstill
Rear Collision Warning keeps you one step ahead of the traffic. By activating all indicator lights, fast-approaching vehicles are alerted if they drive too close and a collision is imminent. If a collision can’t be avoided, the front safety belts will be tensioned just before the impact to help keep passengers in a correct position. The brakes will also activate if your car is at a standstill to further reduce the risk of whiplash injury. Rear Collision Warning with braking at standstill is part of IntelliSafe Surround.
|
Pilot Assist
For smoother driving already from standstill, Pilot Assist semi-autonomous drive supplements Adaptive Cruise Control by adding gentle steering support to help keep the car centred in its lane and at a set speed or distance from the car in front. Pilot Assist steering support can be active up to motorway speeds. If you don't keep a hand on the steering wheel, Pilot Assist is automatically switched off. Pilot Assist is part of IntelliSafe Assist.
Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled as well as for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when Pilot Assist is being used. Semi-autonomous systems, such as Pilot Assist, are restricted in how much acceleration, braking and steering force they can apply.
|
Road Sign Information
Road Sign Information helps keep you updated on current traffic restrictions. Using a camera or information from the Sensus navigation system, it alerts you on speed limits, "no overtaking", "no entry" and various types of supplementary signs. The road sign is displayed on the speedometer. If you exceed the speed limit, Road Sign Information can alert you with a flashing speed limit sign icon. It can also inform you about speed cameras.

Full-LED Active High Beam illumination
Our most advanced LED headlights provide exceptional light, help you see through corners and optimize your vision without dazzling others by constantly adapting the light pattern. As you steer, the headlights turn to illuminate the curve ahead. LED illumination allows you to enjoy high beam with even greater radiation and range. And you can stay on high beam all the time – when you meet or catch up another car, the headlights shade out just as much of your beam as needed to not dazzle the other driver. The greater illuminated area also benefits other road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists. The headlights are intelligent too: the high beam shuts off when you enter a city, but if you drive past an illuminated sign it stays on.
This feature also includes fog lamps that help improve your vision when driving in fog or heavy precipitation. And facilitating low speed manoeuvring and reversing in the dark, they turn up to 15 degrees as you steer to illuminate the area close to the car. They also complement the distinctive design of your Volvo.

BLIS™ blind spot information and Cross Traffic Alert with autobrake
BLIS™ supports when you have to change lanes in busy traffic by alerting you of vehicles in your left and right blind spots. Cross Traffic Alert facilitates reversing by spotting crossing vehicles. When a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches rapidly in a lane on either side of your car, BLIS™ alerts via a light in the left or right door mirror. The rear-mounted radar sensors continuously monitor your blind spots and a large area behind your car, day or night, and reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles. If there's crossing traffic when you reverse out of a parking space, Cross Traffic Alert draws your attention with audible warnings from the left or right rear loudspeaker and by graphics in the centre display. The rear-mounted radar sensors detect vehicles approaching from the side. If a vehicle is detected, Cross Traffic Alert will warn you, and then brake for you if necessary to help avoid or mitigate a collision. In optimal circumstances, it can also detect approaching cyclists and pedestrians. BLIS™ and Cross Traffic Alert are part of IntelliSafe Surround.
Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, these are only supportive functions.
