    STIMULATING SAFETY One thing the Volvo S60’s preventive safety won’t prevent is driving pleasure. Take the solid body for example. Its rigid structure helps absorb the forces that are the natural result of a spirited drive down a winding road. At times like this, you’ll also appreciate the attentive steering, and STC or DSTC, with the advanced technology to help keep you on track.
  • Page 15 ACTIVE STABILITY SYSTEM STC (Stability and Traction Control) is an anti-spin system that improves traction in slippery situations by temporarily reducing engine torque. The enhanced version, DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) also features an anti-skid function that brakes one or more of the wheels to help keep the car on course.
  • Page 16 Like its siblings, the Volvo S60 was conceived in the Volvo Safety Centre. One of the most advanced facilities of its kind, this is where we crash test every model and variant of car we make. Above and beyond countless computer simulations, we conduct over 400 full-scale collisions each year.
  • Page 17 Integrated into the front seat backrests, WHIPS supports the spine and neck in a controlled manner, and is triggered by impacts of sufficient force from behind. IC AND SIPS The inflatable curtain (IC), and a laterally mounted airbag – part of the Side Impact Protection System. These are further examples of the car’s inherent safety systems developed at the Volvo Safety Centre in Sweden.
