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 sta-
tionary or moving in the same direction.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist
and Pedestrian Detection" is activated in situa-
tions where the driver should have started brak-
ing 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 acti-
vated as late as possible in order to avoid unnec-
essary 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 Warn-
ing 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 "Col-
lision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and
Pedestrian Detection" function may appear in
two variants:
Level 1
The driver is merely warned19 of occurring obsta-
cles 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.
