Volvo XC90: Driver support / Steering assistance during collision risks from behind
(Option/accessory.)
Steering assistance has several sub-functions. If you become distracted and

another vehicle approaching, the function can provide assistance.
The function is active at speeds between 60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with
clearly visible traffic lane markings/lines.
The lights in the door mirrors will flash while steering assistance is being
provided, whether or not the BLIS1 function is activated. An audible
signal will also sound.
