SAFETY Preventive
Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC) By helping prevent fishtails, spinouts, and rollovers, stability control technology like DSTC has been described as one of the most vital safety advances of the past decade. At the core of DSTC, a gyroscope senses the car’s direction and compares this with steering wheel movements as well as the actual rotation of the car’s wheels. DSTC is able to detect a potential skid and help counteractthis by reducing the engine’s power output, or braking on one or more wheels. Dual Xenon Headlights with Active Bending Lights (ABL)
The generous front deformation zones are designed to yield in a controlled way to help absorb crash energy before it reaches the cabin. The transversely mounted and very compact engine enables optimal use of the deformation zones to help protect occupants. Longitudinal steel struts help disperse crash energy away from the front to the rear of the vehicle, further helping to reduce the strain on the occupants.
SAFETY Protective Volvo’s interactive safety technologies
In a Volvo, safety is about interaction. Because it’s not the number of safety features that determines how safe a car is, it’s how well they seamlessly interact to help protect the occupants in the event of a collision.
IN A REAR IMPACT the rear deformation zones will help absorb crash energy.
Even behind the third row there’s a good deal of space to help provide effective protection. The fuel tank is designed to remain well protected in front of the rear axle. The head restraints help protect the neck and spine, and Volvo’s unique Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) cradles the front seat occupants in a controlled manner to help prevent\ whiplash injuries. IN A SIDE IMPACT Volvo’s unique Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) helps distribute the crash forces across the car’s body, away from the occupants. The side airbags in the front seats help protect the chest and hip, while the Inflatable Curtain (IC) adds head protection for all outboard occupants, including the ones in the third row.

- In addition to improving illumination by about using Dual Xenon light technology, the Active Bending Lights give a boost to your vision round bends at night. Controlled by microprocessors, the motorized lamps turn up to 15 degrees in either direction when driving – reliably lighting up your chosen path. A twilight sensor disengages the adaptive function during daylight to extend its life span.
- Standard R-DESIGN, included in the Premier Plus and Platinum trim level Roll Stability Control (RSC) In the event of an emergency manuever, Volvo’s Roll Stability Control (RSC) can step in to help prevent the vehicle from rolling over. It features a gyroscopic sensor that registers the vehicle’s lean angle and rollover risk. If required, RSC will cut engine power or brake one or more of the wheels just enough to reduce the centrifugal force and help regain balance.
