Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake

[Considered1]

If you lengthen the distance between you and cars in front with ACC on and find a parked car on your side of the road you could aim for it for a brief few seconds.
Mine usually starts flashing red lights in the dash/window with an audible alert when I go around corners with parked cars on or after the bends as you momentarily 'head for them'

Yes, had that loads of times. LOL.

Coming home I have to enter a service road just off the main road. If I'm driving at a reasonable pace then the collision warning lights go off and the chimes sound. So I know I have Collision Warning and it's also in the Settings menu.

What I'm unsure about is the auto-brake feature specifically. I know it has to be there, but I've just never experienced it and have no way at the moment to see if it's there.

If it doesn't work, I didn't tell you to do it

Looks like a dealership will print out the full spec for me at the weekend so I'll know then! I emailed them earlier and they're happy to do a printout for me of the full spec from the factory.

Volvo does make life difficult on exactly what you get on the car. It's not so bad when buying new, but if you were to buy a used Volvo, you don't really get told exactly what's on the car.

In the past I've used a sticker on the underside of the bonnet with every option code listed and an option code decoder site to get a list for myself. Some cars have had a sticker on the service booklet with all of the option codes.

My service booklet is about as empty as it's possible to get! Just a single service stamp and nothing else whatsoever in it.

If you don't steer away or slow down when the collision warning signs go off then you will experience full-auto brake!
