ISOFIX
ISOFIX attachments only allow you to fit
the child seat in the correct way. They
also make the child seat easier to fit and
remove. We offer two rear-facing child
seats with ISOFIX attachments: one for
infants and small children up to 13 kg,
and one for children weighing between
9 and 18 kg.
Autofolding Power Door Mirror with Ground Lights
At the touch of a button, these door mirrors can be folded flat
against the car where they are less likely to get damaged after
you’ve parked. They also fold or unfold automatically every time
you lock or unlock the car. The integrated ground lighting is
activated with the remote control. Beyond enhancing security
to and from your car at night, this is also convenient when
getting in and out.
Keyless Drive
Keep the car key in your pocket or handbag. Using the
keyless drive technology you can unlock the doors and
drive away without using the car key. To start the engine,
just turn the starter control in the instrument panel.
RTI (Road Traffic Information)
Volvo's GPS-based RTI navigation system offers both voice guidance and
graphic navigation all the way to your destination. Via TMC (Traffic Message
Channel) radio data broadcasts, RTI also lets you know if there’s weather-
related trouble on route and recommends an alternative. Extremely swift and
precise, this new generation RTI features a hard disc drive covering maps for
major parts of Europe. The system is fully integrated in your Volvo and is easily
controlled from the steering wheel or optional remote, and the screen is
positioned so you can keep your attention on traffic. You can choose between
two operating modes – Easy and Advanced. When RTI is not needed, the
screen is hidden into the dash. To help you keep track of new roads and points
of interest, you can join our MapCare programme for two free map updates.
Park assist
Activated when you engage reverse gear, rear park assist
helps you when reversing into tight spaces. The audio
system is turned down and a pulsating sound from the rear
loudspeakers becomes a continuous tone as you approach
an obstacle.
Integrated Bluetooth® handsfree system Bluetooth® handsfree system
Bluetooth® technology enables a mobile phone to be connected to the infotainment system
in your Volvo, wirelessly. Once configured for a mobile phone, the system automatically
recognises your phone as you enter the car. And as you climb in and out of the car, the system
automatically allows you to switch freely from the phone to the handsfree system and back
again. With Volvo’s integrated Bluetooth® handsfree system you conveniently operate your
phone using the buttons in the steering wheel or the centre console keypad. Available as an
accessory, there’s also a voice-controlled Bluetooth® handsfree system that will listen to your
command and make calls for you. The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the
Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Volvo Car Corporation is under license.

Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC)
Dynamic Stability and Traction Control, DSTC, enhances
driving stability and helps you maintain traction in a wide
range of situations. At the core of DSTC, a gyroscope
senses the car’s direction and compares this with steering
wheel movements as well as the actual rotation of the car’s
wheels. DSTC is able to detect a potential skid and help
counteract one by reducing the engine’s power output, or
braking on one or more wheels.
Dual-stage airbags, driver and front
passenger
In a frontal collision, the driver and passenger
airbags help protect your head, face and chest.
The system varies their level of inflation
depending on the force of the collision. Should
the collision force be sufficiently low that the
airbags aren’t needed, it will deploy the safety
belt pre-tensioners.
SIPS (Side Impact Protection System)
SIPS is a Volvo unique safety system that has
been developed to help protect where occupants
are most exposed to the crash forces. The steel
framework of the car, including the front seats, is
designed and reinforced to help displace the
impact of a side-collision away from the
occupants to other parts of the car body and help
prevent intrusion into the cabin. The side structure
is extremely strong to help withstand a severe
side impact, even with a larger vehicle. The IC
(Inflatable Curtain) for all the outboard occupants
and the front seat side airbags interact to help
provide further protection.
WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System)
Integrated in the front seats, Volvo’s WHIPS
cradles the occupant to help reduce the risk of
whiplash injury (one of the most common types
of traffic injury and often the result of low-
speed rear impact collision). The function is
activated by a collision of sufficient force from
behind. Independent research has shown that
WHIPS is one of the most effective systems in
world and can reduce the risk of long-term
invalidity by 50%.
IC (Inflatable Curtain)
The Inflatable Curtain (IC) helps protect
the heads of both front and rear
outboard occupants. It also stays
inflated for some seconds to provide
prolonged protection for subsequent
impacts.
