Volvo insurance / support pack question

[172navigator]

I've ordered a Momentum (est. delivery end of August) and been looking into insurance today - just to get an idea.

The Volvo insurance page asks the question "Does your vehicle have a Driver Support pack fitted?".

The description for this is "This package is optional or standard, depending on the vehicle model and its age. It includes a full-speed collision warning and crash avoidance system as well as pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blindspot monitoring, road sign information and driver alertness monitoring systems. If you are not sure if your Volvo has this, please ask your Volvo dealer."

I can't see this in the XC90 spec options, does anyone know if the standard equipment in the XC90 covers this? I know blind spot is an option but the other bits seem to be standard. It knocks £40 off the quote.

Anyone using Volvo insurance?

I can speak to the dealer, but it might be quicker getting a response here.

Thanks.

Most (perhaps all) the above are standard apart from blind-spot monitoring which is an option.

The one I'm not sure about is 'full-speed collision warning and crash avoidance system'. What does 'full-speed' mean (125 mph?) and can the system in the XC90 operate at that speed?

In fact, shouldn't it specify 'all speed' rather than 'full speed'?
