City Safety Functional Details

At Volvo, we place people at the center of everything we do. That`s why our innovations in safety aren`t just to protect you and your passengers, but everyone around you as well.

New Volvo XC60. City Safety is a support system designed to help the driver avoid low speed collisions when driving in slow-moving, stop-and-go-traffic. City Safety is designed to intervene as late as possible to help unnecessary activation.

Roll Stability Control RSC

In the event of an emergency maneuver, Volvo`s Roll Stability Control (RSC) can step in to help prevent the vehicle from rolling over. It features a role sensor that registers the vegicle`s lean angle and rollover risk. If required, RSC will cut engine power or brake one or more of the wheels just enough to reduce the centrifugal force and help regain balance.

Adaptive Cruise Control

ACC is designed for smooth traffic flow and can be activated at speeds over 18 mph. You just select the desired speed and the minimum time gap to the vehicle in front of you.



When the radar sensor detects a slower vehicle in front of you, the speed automatically adapts to that vehicle. If ACC is disengaged and a vehicle in front falls to close, Distance Alert activates a red warning light in the lower section of the windshi

Intelligent Driver Information System

Collision Warning with Auto Brake is available with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which is designed for smooth traffic flow. You just select the desired speed and the minimum time gap to the vehicle in front of you. When the radar sensor detects a slower vehicle in front of you, the speed automatically adapts to that vehicle.


Intelligent Driver Information System Video Volvo XC60

Collision Warning with Auto Brake is designed to sense an impending collision and alert the driver to help avoid or reduce the severity of a crash. A radar sensor behind the grille continuously monitors the distance to the vehicle driving in front of you. If the vehicle suddenly brakes and the system senses that a collision is likely to happen, it will alert the driver to act with a flashing red warning light on the windshield and an audible alarm. Moreover, the system supports driver-initiated braking by obtaining swift brake response by pre-charging the brakes and preparing for panic brake application. Collision Warning with Auto Brake will thus help to alert the driver to avoid a collision and in some situations help reduce the severity of a crash.

Roll Stability Control XC60

In the event of an emergency manoeuvre, Volvo's Roll Stability Control (RSC) can step in to help prevent the vehicle from rolling over.

Pre-prepared Restraints

The restraint technologies of your Volvo are designed to help provide maximum protection while minimizing strain on the occupants.

Pre-prepared Restraints Volvo XC60
Pre-prepared Restraints Volvo XC60

Using new technology including a windshield laser-sensor, this Volvo XC60 standard safety feature continuously monitors objects in front of the car at all speeds. This makes it possible to prepare and adapt the seatbelts and airbags for an expected crash force and thus help optimize protection in a low or mid-severe frontal collision.

Dual-chamber Side Airbags

The new generation Volvo SIPS airbags have two separate chambers that are inflated at different pressures in a side impact. One chamber protects the hip area, while the other protects the chest.

Dual-chamber Side Airbags Volvo XC60
Dual-chamber Side Airbags Volvo XC60

The hip chamber is inflated five times the pressure of the chest chamber to help optimize protection.

Dual-stage Airbags

In a frontal collision, the driver and passenger airbags help protect your head, face and chest.

Dual-stage Airbags Volvo XC60
Dual-stage Airbags, Driver and Front Passenger Volvo XC60

The system varies their level of inflation depending on the force of the collision. Should the collision force be sufficiently low that the airbags aren't needed, it will deploy the seatbelt pre-tensioners.

Pedestrian Protection Volvo

The front features clean, gentle, smooth lines, flush headlights, and a low engine position to help reduce danger to pedestrian cyclists and other road-users should an accident occur.

Roll-Over Protection System

To help protect the occupants in a rollover situation, Volvo's ROPS is activated by a gyroscope that monitors the vehicle's leaning angle.


Roll-Over Protection System Video Volvo XC60

The safety belt pre-tensioners are activated at every seat to help keep occupants more securely restrained. At the same time, the inflatable curtain (IC) deploys and remains inflated for several seconds to help provide extended protection.

Lane Departure Warning

The Driver Alert Control is the first in the world of passenger cars to alert the driver when his or her concentration level is affected.

Together with the Lane Departure Warning, which signals when the car crosses road markings without obvious reason, the system is designed to address the risk of accidents caused by driver distraction.

City Safety Video Volvo

75 percent of all reported collisions occur at speeds of up to 18 mph and half of these occur in city traffic. To help reduce the consequences of a low speed collision in urban traffic and slow-moving traffic queues, Volvo is launching the foreseeing City Safety a standard feature in the Volvo XC60. Due to the infrared laser sensor, the City Safety Technology can determine whether you are approaching a vehicle from behind too fast. If the driver fails to react in due time, the City Safety will automatically apply the brakes in order to slow down the car either to avoid the collision, which is possible if the speed difference between the two vehicles is below 9 mph or reduce the impact if the speed difference is between 9 and 18 mph.


City Safety Video Volvo XC60

At the same time, the interior restraint systems are pre-prepared for activation. City Safety operates at speeds of up to 18 mph and is programmed to respond if the vehicle in front is either at a stand still or is moving slower in the same direction as your own car in order to help reduce the risk of injury to yourself and your passengers as well as reducing the risk of whiplash injury to the occupants in the vehicle ahead.

Remote Controlled Alarm

The alarm is triggered if anyone attempts to open the doors, hood or tailgate, as well as reacting to movement inside the car or if a window is broken. Add the dealer-installed level sensor and the alarm triggers if the car is jacked up - and you can activate it manually from your remote control in an emergency.

Power Operated Tailgate

The tailgate can be opened automatically three ways: with the remote control, using the switch on the dashboard, or by pulling the handle.

To help minimize risk of injury, only a switch in the tailgate can be used to trigger automatic closing. Also, an anti-jam strip around the tailgate opening can detect obstructions to help avoid pinching fingers.

Door Mirrors Puddle Lights

Acting with your car's approach lighting, the door mirrors with puddle lights help you see if anyone's hiding in the vicinity of your car and help you avoid any puddles or pavement edges.

Personal Car Communicator

The Personal Car Communicator (PCC) is an advanced remote control that combines keyless drive with two-way communication with your Volvo.


Personal Car Communicator Video Volvo XC60

Keep the PCC with you and the car unlocks automatically on your arrival. Start the engine with a press of a button, lock the car by pressing a button in the door handle. Later in the day, if you're wondering whether you've locked the car, your PCC can remind you; no matter where you are. And when you return to your Volvo – within a radius of approx. 200 to 328 feet – pressing the PCC information button will give you a current report on its status. And if the alarm has been activated, the onboard heartbeat sensor will give you advanced warning if there's somebody in your car and an opportunity to evaluate the situation safely. PCC can also be used to operate the other remote controlled functions – such as the central locking, alarm, security lighting and panic alarm.

Personal Car Communicator (PCC) is optional.

Centrally Operated Child Safety Lock

Also known as Power Child Locks - Enables you to conveniently lock the rear doors and rear power windows from the driver’s seat and prevent them from being opened from the inside.

These locks are included along with the optional Dual Two-Stage Integrated Booster Seats w/ Adaptive Seatbelts.

Dual Two-Stage Booster Seats

Dual Two-Stage Integrated Booster Seats w/Adaptive Seatbelts are another safety world first by Volvo. These integrated seats adjust two heights to accommodate children of different sizes. Now even smaller children can be seated higher to enjoy a safer and more comfortable ride. And as the children grow, the seat height can be adjusted accordingly. This optimizes the seatbelt geometry, and will – together with the built-in seatbelt load limiter – help reduce the strain on the child's neck and chest. And when the booster cushions are not needed, they're easily folded into the rear seat cushions.

The upper setting is designed for children measuring 37-47 in. and weighing between 33 and 55 lbs., while the lower setting is intended for children between 45 and 55 in. height and weighing between 48 and 80 lbs.

Inflatable Curtain - IC

Inflating in a side-impact or rollover accident to help protect the heads of all outboard occupants, the Inflatable Curtain (IC) helps protect whether you're in the front or the rear.
