    • The next generation of active safety systems includes a technology that can help avoid collisions also with animals. The system consists of two parts – a radar sensor and an infrared camera that can detect objects also when driving in the dark. The development team from Volvo Car Corporation digitally log film sequences of animals, such as moose, red deer, fallow deer and horses. The recorded data of the various behavioural patterns is used to evaluate and develop the sensor system.

    • Pedestrian Detection with full auto brake. In an emergency situation the driver first receives an audible warning combined with a flashing light in the windscreen’s head-up display. If the driver does not react to the warning and a collision is imminent, full braking power is automatically applied.

    • Cross Traffic Alert. The feature uses radar sensors at the rear end of the car to alert the driver of crossing traffic from the sides when reversing out of a parking space. This is especially helpful in tight and crowded areas where the side view might be limited due to infrastructure, vegetation or other parked cars.

    • City Safety. The V40 features an upgraded City Safety system, which is now active at speeds up to 50 km/h. City Safety keeps an eye on traffic in front with the help of a laser sensor that is integrated behind the top of the windscreen. The car automatically brakes if the driver fails to react in time when the vehicle in front slows down or stops – or if the car is approaching a stationary vehicle too fast.

    • Pedestrian Airbag Technology. Another world first from Volvo Car Corporation. The rear end of the bonnet is released and at the same time elevated by the deploying airbag. The inflated airbag covers the area under the raised bonnet plus approximately one third of the windscreen area and the lower part of the A-pillar.

    • Pedestrian Detection with full auto brake.  A world first that can detect pedestrians in front of the car, warn if anyone walks out into its path – and then automatically activate the car’s full braking power if the driver fails to respond in time. The technology can avoid a collision with a pedestrian at speeds up to 35 kph.
