For starters, the 360? Surround View technology gives you a bird’s eye view of your car and your surroundings. The bird’s eye view of your Volvo model lets you see all of the obstacles all around you, while also making parking and maneuvering in tight spaces easier. The Driver Alert Control system will alert you when it appears that you are getting drowsy and inattentive behind the wheel. It will send you a visual and then verbal alert when it finds that you are not as attentive as normal. The Rest Stop Guidance function will be able to help you discover a safe place to stop. On top of the Driver Alert Control system, many new Volvo models also feature the Lane Keeping Aid and Blind Spot Information systems. The former helps you stay on course by gently steering you back on track when you leave your lane unintentionally, while the latter uses radar sensors to alert you to traffic that is in your blind spot.
The popular and impressive new 2017 Volvo XC90 is one of many new Volvo models that features these driver assistance technologies and safety features that help keep you safe behind the wheel. Head down to Fields Volvo Northfield to learn more about these features today!
