Pedestrian Avoidance

One of the 2013 Volvo XC60's most impressive features is the Pedestrian Avoidance System. The Pedestrian Avoidance System uses a front mounted digital camera and radar unit to sense the presence of pedestrians in the XC60's path. When a pedestrian is detected, the XC60 alerts the driver through a warning sound. If the driver fails to respond in time, the XC60 applies the full force of its brakes to avoid a collision. This safety feature is invaluable if you do a lot of crowded city driving where pedestrians can unexpectedly enter the street.       
           

City Safety

The XC60's collision system doesn't stop with the Pedestrian Avoidance System. The Volvo XC60 comes standard with City Safety a vehicle collision avoidance system which monitors the distance between the Volvo XC60 and the vehicle in front of it with a closing velocity laser sensor.  If the XC60 senses an imminent collision, it will apply the brakes.       
           

Road Sign Recognition

The XC60 also uses a camera with its Road Sign Recognition (RSI) system. RSI uses the Volvo XC60's front mounted camera to detect, interpret, and save speed signs. It then displays them and optionally reminds you if you exceed current speed limit.       
           

Adaptive Cruise Control

Volvo has also made Adaptive Cruise Control available with the technology package in the 2013 Volvo XC60. Adaptive Cruise Control works with the XC60's smart brakes to maintain a safe following distance from the vehicles in front of you. Relieving the constant stop and go will make any drive more enjoyable.
