Volvo XC90: Driver support / City Safety braking for oncoming vehicles
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.

Own vehicle
Oncoming vehicles
The following criteria must be met for the function to work:
- your vehicle's speed must be above 4 km/h (3 mph)
- the road must be straight
- your lane must have clear side lane markings
- your vehicle must be positioned straight in your lane
- the oncoming vehicle must be positioned within your vehicle's lane markings
- the oncoming vehicle's headlights must be on
- the function can only handle “front-tofront” collisions
- the function can only detect vehicles with four wheels.
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions due to an imminent collision with an oncoming
vehicle always come very late.
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...
City Safety1 functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
Surroundings
Low objects
Hanging objects, such as flags for overhanging loads or accessories such as auxiliary
lights or front protective grids that extend beyond the height of the hood, may
limit City Safety functionality...
