Volvo XC90: Driver support / Automatic braking during delayed evasive maneuvers with City Safety
City Safety1 can assist the driver by automatically braking the vehicle when it is not possible to avoid a collision by steering alone.

Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape routes for veering away from the vehicle ahead (2) and may therefore apply the brakes at an earlier stage.
