Volvo XC90: Driver support
Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driver support systems that can provide the driver with active or passive assistance in various situations.
The systems can, for example, help the driver:
- maintain a set speed
- maintain a set time interval to the vehicle ahead
