Collision Warning With Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection - Volvo S80 Owner's Manual

1
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 & 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 will be a collision sooner or later.
1 Not available as an option for certain engines.

Two system levels
Depending on how the car equipped, the Col-
lision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian
Detection function may appear in two vari-
ants: Level 1 and Level 2.
Level 1
The driver is merely warned 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
