Volvo XC40 - Steering Assistance at Risk of Collision

DRIVER SUPPORT

Steering assistance at risk of
collision
The
Collision avoidance assistance function
is designed to help the driver reduce the risk of
the car leaving its lane unintentionally and/or col-
liding with another vehicle or obstacle by actively
steering the car back into its lane and/or swerv-
ing.
The Collision avoidance assistance function
consists of two subfunctions:
•
Steering assistance upon risk of run-off
•
Steering assistance upon risk of head-on
collision
After automatic engagement, the driver display
indicates that this has occurred via a text mes-
sage:
•
Collision avoidance assistance
Automatic intervention
NOTE
It is always the driver who decides how much
the car should steer – the car can never take
command.
