Collision warning system (option)

Introduction
The Collision Warning with Brake Support, (CW) is designed to assist the driver by warning of collision risk. The
brake support helps reduce the collision speed.
WARNING
The collision warning system does not work in all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions.
The system does not react to slow moving or stationary vehicles, or vehicles that are not traveling in the same
direction as your vehicle.
Warnings are only provided when the risk of collision is high. The Function section provides information about
limitations that the driver must be aware of before use.
The collision warning system's brake support can only reduce the speed at which a collision occurs if the driver
applies the vehicle's brakes.
WARNING
Never wait for a collision warning. This system is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It is not, however,
intended to replace the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance and
speed, even when the collision warning system is in use.
Maintenance of the collision warning system components must only be performed by a trained and qualified
Volvo technician.
