Collision Warning With Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

General
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-
trian Detection" is an aid to assist the driver
when there is a risk of colliding with a pedes-
trian or vehicle in front that is stationary or
moving in the same direction.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & 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 & Pedestrian
Detection is designed to be activated as late as
possible in order to avoid unnecessary inter-
vention.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian
Detection may prevent a collision or reduce the
collision speed.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & 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 will be a
collision sooner or later.

Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection*
Two system levels
Depending on how the car equipped, the Col-
lision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian
Detection function may appear in two variants:
Level 1 and Level 2.
Level 1
The driver is merely warned 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 components included in
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-
trian Detection must only be carried out in a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended.
