Read moreThree things to know about the Volvo collision avoidance system
Volvo has will always been one of the most innovative automakers when it comes to safety. Volvo gave us the seatbelt with the brand has never stopped innovating since then. This has never been more evident than today as Volvo gives us multiple advanced safety technologies including one of the most capable forward collision warning systems ever designed. Here are three things that stand out about the Volvo forward collision warning system.
It can detect large animals
The Volvo collision warning system has the ability to detect large animals like moose. If you are driving along and a large animal suddenly jumps in front of your Volvo, the system should be able to detect it and apply the brakes if you fail to react. Very few systems offered in other luxury vehicles are able to detect large animals.
It can detect pedestrians and cyclists
This is something that we see a little more off with safety technology and forward collision warning systems. The system has the ability to detect cyclists and pedestrians and although this is less and less unusual, we feel it is noteworthy because when you combine pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals, you have a forward collision warning system that is capable of detecting most of what you may see on the road.
It will function day or night
The Volvo forward collision warning system functions both day or night which is a welcomed feature.
You should never rely on the forward collision warning system and you should always pay attention to what is happening on the road. That said, certain situations cannot be helped and it is always nice to know that your vehicle is watching out for you. Give us a call today to learn more.
