In certain situations, it may be difficult for City Safety to help the driver avoid a collision with crossing traffic.

Volvo XC90. Limitations of City Safety in crossing traffic

For example:

On slippery roads when Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is actively operating.

  • If an approaching vehicle is detected at a late stage.
  • If the oncoming vehicle is partially obstructed by another vehicle or object.
  • If the oncoming vehicle's headlights are off.
  • If the oncoming vehicle is moving erratically and e.g. suddenly changes lanes at a late stage.
