Volvo City Safety

Volvo City Safety is a system that monitors your driving performance, as well as what’s happening on the road. It can detect pedestrians, bicycles, and other cars using cameras and radar and alert you if you get too close as you drive through Cleveland. If you don’t react to the warning quickly enough, this Volvo safety feature can automatically brake for you to reduce or avoid the impact. Here’s a quick breakdown of how Volvo City Safety works:

• Volvo City Safety detects vehicles and motorcycles traveling in the same direction, helping you avoid a collision or reduce the impact.
• This Volvo safety feature also detects cyclists suddenly swerving or people and bikes crossing your path to help you avoid an incident.
• Volvo City Safety detects objects in front of your car in the dark, as well as your proximity to them and their movement. The camera identifies what it is and monitors it to assess the risk. If a risk is detected, the system generates an audible alert and a visual warning, accompanied by a short braking pulse and a flashing light in the lower part of the windshield. Automatic braking will be applied if you don’t react in time.
