Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake
I have the Driver Support Pack on my S80. This should include "Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake". However, I cannot find any configuration setting that mentions auto braking.
I have a couple of options in 'Collision Warning' settings but nothing related to auto braking. Is there any way of determining whether I have the auto braking function on my car? The reason I ask is that I've seen this in the Owner's Manual: Quote:

Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake normally goes hand-in-hand with Adaptive Cruise Control. I would say if you do not have the latter then you will not have the former.

I have ACC. I just see no mention of auto-brake in any configuration settings.
The brochure lists the following functions that are included in the DSP: Quote:
- Full Auto Brake - Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection Everything else I've either tested and/or configured settings for. The problem is that the Owner's Manual is an exercise in how not to write car owner's manuals. It's all-encompassing so will talk about every single possible feature without any explanation of how to check if you actually have that feature. |
Other than being able to switch it off and on, I do not think it is configurable!

Yeah - I'm kind of coming to that conclusion. It'd be nice to experience it or test it in a safe manner.

You can test the city safety with a wheelie bin, I have done it before (not in a Volvo) and it worked pretty well. Disclaimer: one time we did it the car hit the bin at 15 mph and it did leave a mark that polished out fine ;) It was a VW UP! btw.

I tried it with a cardboard barrier lined with tin foil. It plowed into it everytime! Bin day on Friday so when it's emptied, I may try it out.

I'm just re-reading the manual. City Safety is a standard feature on almost every Volvo and operates at speeds of up to 50Km/h but not below 4Km/h (e.g. when parking).
The Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection is a different system: Quote:

Don't you get the "My Volvo" web feature in the UK? I have it here in Sweden. Via that web site, I can see a lot of stuff about my car, including the options list.
It's partially in Swedish, but you can see the text from my car's list below. I've made the line about automatic brake (broms in Swedish) red.

Yes, I am registered on My Volvo but it tells me very little about the car!
If I select the Options tab on the My Volvo site, all I get is this: Quote:
I'm going to the dealership at the weekend so I will ask them to print out the full spec, which I'm assuming they can do. |
