Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection*

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
04
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.

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.
