Collision Warning System - Volvo V40 Owner's Manual

Collision warning system*

"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to
assist the driver when there is a risk of collid-
ing with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle in
front that are stationary or moving in the same
direction.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-
trian 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 & Pedes-
trian Detection is designed to be activated as
late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary
intervention.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-
trian Detection may prevent a collision or
reduce the collision speed.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-
trian 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 might be a risk of a collision sooner or
later.
Two system levels
The Collision Warning with Auto Brake &
Pedestrian Detection function is available in
No warning for cyclists with "Level 1".
18
two variants, depending on how the car is
equipped:
Level 1
The driver is merely warned 18 of occurring
obstacles 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 him-
self does not act within a reasonable time.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of components included in
Collision Warning with Auto Brake &
Pedestrian Detection must only be carried
out in a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
