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:
The vehicle is equipped with standard and electric seat belt tensioners that
can help tension the seat belt in a critical situation or collision.
Standard seat belt tensioners
All seat belts are equipped with a standard seat belt tensioner.
In a collision of sufficiently violent force, the seat belt tensioners will tension
the seat belts in order to more effectively restrain the occupants...
(Option/accessory.)
The tire inflation pressure monitoring system6 provides an indicator symbol
in the instrument panel if pressure is too low in one or more tires.
This symbol illuminates to indicate
low inflation pressure. Check the inflation pressure in the Car Status app in the
center display...
