Volvo vehicles have long been renowned for safety. This April, which is recognized as Distracted Driving Awareness Month, we encourage you to prioritize your safety by staying alert and focused behind the wheel. Fields Volvo Cars Northfields shares some of the Volvo safety features that can help reduce distracted driving.
Driver Understanding
The Driver Understanding feature could very likely be your best defense against distracted driving. The award-winning system can detect if you’re distracted or impaired behind the wheel. Working with external sensor data, it can even determine when it’s time to intervene to keep you safe.
Collision Avoidance
Distracted driving can quickly lead to a collision, causing injuries or worse. The Collision Avoidance feature provides audible and visual warnings, as well as brake pulse warnings, if you’re about to be involved in an accident. It can even automatically brake or steer for you, if needed.
Lane Keeping Aid
If you don’t stay alert behind the wheel, you’re also in danger of veering from your lane. Volvo vehicles are available with a Lane Keeping Aid, which will alert you with subtle steering wheel vibrations if it senses that you’re drifting inadvertently. It can also gently steer you back into your lane.
Run-Off Road Mitigation
If you veer from your lane, you also run the risk of driving off the road completely. Many Volvo vehicles are also available with Run-Off Road Mitigation, which becomes active when you’re driving over 40 mph. If you’re in danger of driving off the road, it will gently redirect you or brake, if necessary.
