Volvo XC90: Driver support / Steering assistance during collision risks limitations
The function may have limited functionality in certain situations and not
intervene, e.g.:
- for smaller vehicles such as motorcycles
- if more than half of your vehicle has moved into the adjacent lane
- on roads/lanes with indistinct or no side lane markings
- outside the speed range 60-140 km/h (37-87 mph)
- when speed-dependent power steering wheel resistance is working at reduced
power – e.g. during cooling due to overheating.
Functionality may also be reduced in other situations, such as:
- road work
- winter driving conditions
- narrow roads
- poor road surfaces
- a very sporty driving style
- bad weather with reduced visibility.
In these demanding driving conditions, the function may not be able to properly
assist the driver. In these situations, it is recommended that it is turned off.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain
general limitations.
(Option/accessory.)
Steering assistance has several sub-functions. If you become distracted and
do not notice your vehicle starting to veer out of the lane while another vehicle
is approaching from behind or is in your vehicle's blind spot, Steering assistance
during collision risks from behind can help provide assistance...
A number of symbols and messages related to steering assistance may be displayed
in the instrument panel. Several examples are provided below.
A text message can be erased by briefly pressing the
button in the center of the rightside
steering wheel keypad...
