2022 Volvo S90 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid Driver support
Driving support systems
The car is equipped with different driver support systems which can assist the driver in different situations, either actively or passively.
For example, the systems can help the driver to:
- maintain a set speed
- maintain a certain time interval to the vehicle ahead
- prevent a collision by giving a warning to the driver and braking the car
- help the driver to park.
Some of the systems are fitted as standard while others are options – which alternative applies is market dependent.
Some of the systems have improved functionality when Google Maps is used.
Warning
The driver support systems are only supplementary aids – they cannot handle all situations in all conditions.
The driver always bears responsibility that the vehicle is driven safely and that applicable road traffic rules and regulations are followed
Warnings from various driver support systems
If you notice that the car acts in an unexpected way then this may be due to one of the car’s safety-related functions being activated.
What is happening in your car?
There are several functions in your car that can contribute actively to increasing safety in traffic, both for yourself and other road users. You have the option of viewing a list of some of the functions and what they may do – the aim of this is to ensure you are not surprised by the activation of any of the functions. If a function should be activated, you can also be informed of this via a text message in the driver display.
Note
Read the individual sections on each system in order to fully understand the functions and learn about important warnings.
Warning with the symbol, acoustic signals, visual signals or vibration
The driver support functions in your car can alert you in different ways. For example, with vibration in the steering wheel, brake pulse, with visual or acoustic signals or via symbols in the driver display.
Alerts can also be shown in the head-up display.
Assistance at risk of collision
Assistance at risk of collision can assist the driver to avoid or mitigate a collision with a warning, automatic braking and steering assistance.
Your experience of the function may therefore differ depending on which subfunction is activated.
Assistance at risk of collision can perform the following steps if necessary:
- Collision warning
- Assisted braking
- Automatic braking
- Steering assistance
