Collision warning system*

"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to assist the driver when there is a risk of colliding 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 prevent 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 collision 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 warned1 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 himself 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 recommended.
