Volvo Safety Innovations That Make a Difference for Your Family
Volvo Safety Innovations That Set the Standard for Family Protection
When it comes to your family's safety, you want a vehicle that leads the way in innovation. Volvo has long been a recognized in automotive safety, and its advanced safety features are designed to offer protection and peace of mind. From innovative driver assistance systems to collision prevention technology, Volvo's safety innovations go beyond just meeting industry standards; they aim to set new ones.
City Safety: A Life-Saving Standard
One of Volvo’s most celebrated safety innovations is City Safety, a standard feature in most Volvo models. This system helps prevent accidents by detecting pedestrians, cyclists, and animals in the car's path. It provides an alert and can automatically apply the brakes if a collision is upcoming, reducing the risk of serious accidents.
This system is specifically useful in urban environments where sudden stops and pedestrian activity are common. With City Safety, you can feel more confident when driving in busy city streets, knowing that your car is watching out for potential hazards.
Pilot Assist: Semi-Autonomous Driving for Easier Journeys
Volvo’s Pilot Assist system provides semi-autonomous driving support, making long drives and highway cruising easier and more relaxing. This system includes smart cruise control and lane-keeping assist, helping you maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and stay centred in your lane.
Whether you're navigating through traffic or cruising along the highway, Pilot Assist reduces the stress of long journeys by giving you an extra layer of support. It's the one of the best solutions for busy parents or anyone who frequently drives long distances.
Run-Off Road Protection: Added Security for Unexpected Situations
Run-Off Road Protection is a critical feature for preventing accidents when your vehicle unexpectedly drifts off the road. If the system detects that you’re veering off the road, it can activate steering input to guide you back on track.
In addition, the system uses energy-absorbing seats that lessens the risk of injury if the vehicle leaves the road, providing extra protection in critical situations. This feature offers families an added layer of security when driving on highways, especially during challenging weather or road conditions.
Blind Spot Information System: Know What’s Behind You
Volvo’s Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) helps you stay aware of cars in your hidden spots. When you signal to change lanes, the system provides visual and audible warnings if there's a car in your hidden spot, making lane changes safer and more confident.
This is especially valuable in busy traffic or on multi-lane highways, where vehicles can quickly approach without being noticed. With BLIS, Volvo makes it easier to navigate safely and stop accidents caused by blind spots.
Advanced Airbag System: A Layer of Protection in Every Situation
Volvo’s advanced airbag system is designed to protect passengers of all sizes. The system includes dual-stage front airbags, side-impact airbags, and curtain-type airbags that cover the side windows for additional protection in side-impact collisions.
What makes Volvo's system unique is its ability to balance the force of deployment based on the severity of the impact and the size of the occupant. This ensures that everyone, from adults to children, is optimally protected during an accident.
Safety That Adapts to Your Family’s Needs
Volvo's promise to safety is evident in the design of its vehicles. From automatic braking systems to semi-autonomous driving assistance, every Volvo is engineered with your family's protection in mind. These safety innovations not only help prevent accidents but also create a driving experience that's more relaxed and less stressful for everyone inside the vehicle.
