Introduction
Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection is designed to assist the driver if there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian, a vehicle ahead that is at a standstill or one that is moving in the same direction as your vehicle.
Collision Warning consists of the following three functions:
• Collision Warning warns the driver of a potential collision situation.
• Brake Support helps the driver brake efficiently in a critical situation.
• Auto-brake brakes the vehicle automatically if a collision with a pedestrian or another vehicle cannot be avoided and the driver does not apply the brakes in time or steer around the person/vehicle. Autobrake can help prevent a collision or reduce the speed at which a collision occurs.
Since Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection is activated in circumstances where the driver should have begun braking much sooner, the system will not be able to assist the driver in all situations.
This system is designed to activate as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary intervention.
The system should not be used in such a way that the driver changes his/her way of operating the vehicle. If the driver relies entirely on the system, the chances of an accident eventually occurring increase considerably.
The Collision Warning and City Safety™ systems supplement each other. See page 167 for detailed information about City Safety™.
WARNING
No automatic system can be guaranteed to
function 100% correctly in all situations. For
that reason, never test the Auto-brake system
by driving toward a person or object.
This could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
• Collision Warning does not work in all
driving, traffic, weather and road conditions.
It does not react to vehicles not
traveling in the same direction as your
vehicle.
• Collision Warning does not react to animals.
• 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 using Collision Warning.
• Collision Warning will not provide a
warning or brake the vehicle for pedestrians
at speeds above 50 mph
(80 km/h).
WARNING
• Collision Warning will not provide a
warning or brake the vehicle for pedestrians
in darkness or in tunnels, even if
there is street lighting in the area.
• The auto-brake function can help prevent
a collision or reduce the speed at
impact but the driver should always
apply the brakes for the best possible
braking effect, even if auto-brake is
actively applying the brakes.
• 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's components must only be
performed by a trained and qualified
Volvo technician.
