Volvo XC90: Driver support / City Safety steering assistance limitations during evasive maneuvers
City Safety steering assistance may have limited functionality in certain
situations and not intervene, e.g.:
- at speeds outside the range of 50-100 km/h (30-62 mph)
- if the driver does not take evasive action
- if speed-dependent power steering wheel resistance is working at reduced
power – e.g. during cooling due to overheating.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain
general limitations.
City Safety steering assistance can help the driver steer away from a vehicle/obstacle
when it is not possible to avoid a collision by braking alone. City Safety steering
assistance is always activated and cannot be switched off...
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...
Other information:
City Safety1 can help prevent a collision or lower the vehicle's speed
at the point of impact. The function consists of several subfunctions.
Ability to reduce speed
If the difference in speed between your vehicle and the obstacle is greater than
the speeds specified below, the City Safety auto-brake function cannot prevent a
collision, but it can help mitigate its effects...
A Care Key enables the vehicle owner to set a maximum speed limit for the
vehicle. This limit is intended to promote safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it
is loaned out.
A maximum vehicle speed can be defined for a Care Key. Otherwise, the Red Key
functions in the same way as a standard remote key...
