Volvo XC90: Starting and driving / Braking assist after a collision
In a collision in which the activation level is reached for the pyrotechnic
seat belt tensioners or airbags, or if a collision with a large animal is detected,
the vehicle's brakes will be automatically activated. This function is intended
to help prevent or reduce the effects of any subsequent collision.
After a serious collision, it may no longer be possible to control and steer
the vehicle. In order to avoid or mitigate a possible further collision with a vehicle
or an object in the vehicle's path, the brake assist system is activated automatically
to help stop the vehicle safely.
If braking is not appropriate, e.g. if there is a risk of being hit by passing
traffic, the driver can override the system by depressing the accelerator pedal.
This function assumes that the brake system is intact after a collision.
