Volvo XC90: Driver support / Automatic braking during delayed evasive maneuvers with City Safety
City Safety1 can assist the driver by automatically braking the
vehicle when it is not possible to avoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodically attempting to predict possible
"escape routes" to the sides of the vehicle in the event a slow-moving or stationary
vehicle were to be detected at a late stage.

Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape routes for veering away from
the vehicle ahead (2) and may therefore apply the brakes at an earlier stage.

due to traffic in the adjacent lane(s), the function can assist the driver by automatically
starting to apply the brakes at an earlier stage.

if the driver does not take evasive action
if speed-dependent power steering wheel resistance is working at reduced
power – e...
City Safety can help you apply the brakes for an oncoming vehicle in your
lane.
If an oncoming vehicle veers into your lane and a collision is unavoidable, City
Safety can help reduce your vehicle's speed to attempt to mitigate the force of
the collision...
