Award Winning Safety

Active High Beam helps make driving in the dark safer. You can stay on high beam for optimized vision, and when you approach another car, the headlamps shade out just as much of your beam as needed to avoid blinding other drivers. It's intelligent, too: the high beam shuts off when you enter a city, but if you drive past an illuminated sign, it stays on.

BLIS™

Available Blind Spot Information System (BLIS™), which Volvo pioneered over a decade ago, supports you when you have to change lanes in busy traffic. It alerts you when a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches fast from behind. The rear-mounted radar sensors continuously monitor your blind spots and a large area behind your car, day or night. It also reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles.

That feeling when you are about to change lane and all of a sudden a car appears out of nowhere, in your blind spot -- both shocking and scary. This particular hazard is something we've tried to address. The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) gives you greater awareness. The radar sensors installed inside the rear of the car scan a large area behind the car. A small light beside your rear-mirror turns on when a car or other vehicle is in your blind spot. BLIS can now also monitor and alert of rapidly approaching vehicles up to 70 metres behind the car.

When you’re reversing out of a parking space, available Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) warns you of approaching traffic. The rear-mounted radar sensors scan the area to identify any traffic approaching from the sides of your vehicle at a distance of up to 29 metres away. It gets your attention with audible warnings from the left or right rear speaker and by graphics in your display.
