Volvo has always been known for its outstanding safety features, but the all-new line of vehicles takes safety to a whole new level. From lane departure warnings to driver fatigue alerts and more, there are an abundance of advanced technologies designed to keep you and your loved ones safe on the road. Let’s take a look at some of these impressive safety features.
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
The LDWS helps keep drivers in their lane by using cameras and sensors to detect when a car is drifting out of its lane without the use of turn signals. If this happens, the system will sound an alert and vibrate the steering wheel or seats, which can help prevent dangerous situations such as sideswiping another vehicle or running off the road unintentionally.
Driver Alert System (DAS)
The Driver Alert System works by monitoring your driving habits and detecting any signs of drowsiness or fatigue. If it detects any signs that you may be getting tired, it will sound an audible warning and suggest that you stop for a break. This system can be especially helpful if you’re driving long distances since it can help you stay safe by preventing accidents caused by driver fatigue.
Auto Emergency Braking (AEB)
The AEB feature uses cameras and radar sensors to detect potential collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians in front of your car, even if they’re not visible yet. When it detects something in your path, it will automatically apply the brakes to help reduce the impact or avoid a crash altogether. This feature is especially useful when driving at high speeds on highways or in busy city streets where visibility may be limited due to other cars or obstructions such as trees, buildings, etc.
Slippery road alert
This alert is designed to help drivers detect slippery road conditions and will sound an audible warning if it detects that the roads are wet or icy. This can be incredibly helpful when driving in winter weather, as it greatly reduces the chances of losing control due to slippery surfaces.
These are just a few of the advanced safety features found in Volvo vehicles. With these systems in place, you can enjoy a greater peace of mind knowing that your car is equipped with the latest safety technologies to help keep you and your loved ones safe on the road.
