Five Volvo technologies that make your journey safer

Volvo vehicles have always been known to offer exceptional safety and current 2022 models are no exception. Here are five technologies that you will find on Volvo vehicles that make every journey more enjoyable and safer for you and your passengers.

 

Blind spot information system

 

Not only does the Volvo blind spot information system allow you to see if another vehicle is in your blind spot, but the technology also has the ability to make subtle adjustments to steering in order to prevent you from going into the other lane when another vehicle is present.

 

Collision avoidance

 

Your Volvo is equipped with impressive automatic braking capability which includes the ability to detect other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and even large animals day or night. If the system detects one of these objects, it can automatically apply the brakes to make sure that a collision does not occur. You shouldn't rely on this system but it certainly is very useful should the unexpected happened.

 

Rear collision avoidance

 

The Volvo rear collision avoidance system is designed to detect vehicles that may be approaching when you are backing up and the system can then automatically apply the brakes if needed to prevent a collision.

 

Oncoming traffic

 

Your Volvo can detect if another vehicle is approaching and coming towards you when you're turning at an intersection. If so, the system will be able to detect the vehicle and brake for you.

 

Lane departure prevention

 

If you are about to deviate from your lane, your Volvo will detect that and is able to bring you back to the centre of the lane to avoid your vehicle crossing over and a potential collision. Give us a call today to learn more.
