City Safety Brakes For Oncoming Vehicles - Volvo XC90 2019 Owner's Manual

City Safety does not intervene with the auto-
brake function as long as the driver him/
herself has the opportunity to avoid a collision
via a steering manoeuvre.
However, if City Safety anticipates that an
evasive manoeuvre is not possible due to traf-
fic in an adjacent lane, the function can assist
the driver by automatically starting to brake at
an earlier stage.

City Safety brakes for oncoming

City Safety can assist the driver to use emer-
gency braking for an oncoming vehicle in
your car's lane.
If an oncoming vehicle enters your car's lane
and a collision is unavoidable, City Safety can
reduce the car's speed with a view to reducing
the violence of the impact.
