Electronic Stability Control instantly helps optimise traction and minimise the risk of skids at all speeds and in all conditions. It also contributes to safer and more fun cornering characteristics by helping the car steer into the curves. And if you're in the mood to take more control when driving dynamically, select Sport Mode to allow a controlled amount of rear wheel slip.

Efficient brakes are vital for driving confidence and safety. They're also part of the dynamic driving experience and incorporate active safety technologies as well as features for your convenience. In an emergency situation, the large anti-lock disc brakes will make all the difference. The brake system is smart too: if you don't brake hard enough, it ensures maximum braking pressure is applied. And if you suddenly lift off the accelerator or sensors detect an obstacle in front of the car, the brake pads instantly moves closer to the brake discs to reduce the total stopping distance. Adding to your convenience, our automatic hold function keeps the brakes engaged after you have braked the car to standstill and released the brake pedal. And to make it easier and safer to start uphill or downhill from standstill, Hill Start Assist keeps the brakes applied for a short period after you have released the brake pedal until you press the accelerator – your car will not move while your foot moves from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

This feature helps alert vehicles approaching you from behind if you are forced to emergency brake. In this situation, the brake lights will flash at an intense rate of four times per second. The emergency brake light is active at speeds above 50km/h and once the car slows down to below 10km/h, the brake lights stop pulsing and the hazard lights take over.

This aluminium shield is designed to protect the engine, sump and transmission from bottoming when driving on unusually rough or uneven surfaces.

An alcohol lock is an effective way of preventing your car from being started by a drunk driver behind the steering wheel. This software update makes it easy to install an alcohol lock in your Volvo as well as integrating the alcohol lock device with the car's other functions. For example, alcohol lock step by step instructions can be shown in the centre display. Please note that this is only a preparation that must be supplemented with an alcohol lock system from Dräger or ACS Alcohol Countermeasure Systems.

Designed for temporary use and a maximum speed of 80 km/h, this spare wheel saves both space and weight. For your convenience, a jack, wheel bolt tool and textile bag for full size wheel storage are included.

In the event of a puncture in the tyre's tread you can seal it temporarily with this emergency repair kit. It includes an electric air compressor and sealing fluid and is stored conveniently under the load compartment floor. The compressor can also be used to check and adjust tyre pressure. Maximum speed for the sealed tyre is 80 km/h (50 mph) and it should be replaced within 200 km (125 miles).

Helping to protect your spine if the car lands hard after an accident, the front seats energy-absorbing functionality can cushion severe vertical forces. Integrated anti-submarining protection helps reduce the risk of sliding under the safety belt in a collision. The fixed head restraints help offer outstanding protection regardless of a person's height. The front seats also feature our efficient whiplash protection system WHIPS™. On impact from behind, the entire front backrest and head restraint moves with the occupant to support the neck.

In certain frontal collisions, the brake pedal is designed to release and move down to the floor to help reduce the risk of injuries to the right foot and leg when the foot is on the brake pedal. This Volvo safety innovation is triggered by the same sensors that activate the safety belt pre-tensioners and airbags when this is needed.

SIPS™ side impact protection system helps protect you and your passengers in a side-collision. The body's steel framework displaces the impact of a side-collision away from the occupants to other parts of the car body. The extremely strong side structure helps withstand a severe side impact – even with a larger vehicle. The Inflatable Curtain and the front seat side airbags interact with SIPS™ to help provide further protection for the front seat occupants. In the rear, SIPS™ and Inflatable Curtain help protect the passengers in the outer rear seats.

Our Inflatable Curtain helps protect your head and neck in a side collision or roll-over. Helping to provide protection for occupants sitting on the sides, it deploys from the roof above the doors. The Inflatable Curtain also helps protect in some frontal collisions and stays inflated for several seconds to provide prolonged protection in the event of secondary impacts.

All the panels and door sides are padded with energy-absorbing materials to help reduce the risk of injury to the car's occupants.

A Volvo innovation, the three-point safety belts are the foremost safety feature inside your car. In a collision or roll-over, pre-tensioners instantly tighten the belts to keep the occupants tightly restrained. They then release a little to reduce the strain. This also means that the driver and front passenger are cushioned by the airbags in a controlled fashion. To help ensure maximum protection for you and your passengers, the safety belts also interact with the steering wheel column and supplementary restraint technologies such as the side airbags and the Inflatable Curtain.

The steering column is an advanced part of the safety system, with the upper and lower sections giving way in a controlled manner in a frontal impact to help protect the driver.

WHIPS™ is a Volvo safety innovation that efficiently helps reduce the risk of whiplash injury if your car is hit from behind. On impact, the entire front backrest and head restraint moves with the occupant to support the neck.

In a side-collision, the side airbags inflate instantly to help protect the chest and hip of the driver and front seat passenger. The side airbags are located in the ideal spot on the front seat backrest.

When your Volvo detects an imminent collision or run-off road accident, our prepared front safety belts tighten electrically to help provide maximum protection. If a collision is avoided, the front safety belts unroll again without needing to be serviced.

Together with the safety belts, the frontal airbags help protect the head, face and chest in a frontal collision. They're intelligent too: to optimise protection, the airbags adapt the level of inflation to the force of the impact. And if the impact is so low that the airbags aren't needed, the system will only deploy safety belt pre-tensioners if necessary. To make it possible to mount a child seat in the front passenger seat, the passenger airbag can easily be disconnected using a cut-off switch.

Your Volvo helps protect in a run-off road accident. If a road departure is unavoidable, the front safety belts tighten to help keep you safely positioned. Our unique front seat structure helps protect your spine if the car lands heavily. Energy-absorbing functionality between the seat and seat frame deforms to cushion the vertical forces. This Volvo safety innovation together with a robust body structure and our other restraint technologies helps provide the best protection in a collision.

The body of your Volvo helps provide maximum protection in all types of accidents. You and your passengers are surrounded by an extremely strong safety cage, while front and rear deformation zones help reduce the effects of an impact. The sturdy safety cage helps keep the occupant space intact in a crash and is made from one of the strongest types of steel available. Together with the energy-dissipating front and rear crumple zones and the car's interior restraint technologies, this helps protect the people inside your Volvo in any collision. In a side-collision, our side-impact protection system SIPS™ distributes the crash force across a large portion of the car's body to further reduce the risk of injury. And in a roll-over accident, the strong roof construction helps protect the occupants.

For easy and convenient storage of a fire extinguisher in the car, you can add a flexible holder that keeps the extinguisher out of the way but easily accessible when needed.

Helping to keep your dog still in the rear seat, our practical dog harness contributes to both safety and comfort for everyone inside your Volvo. It can also be used outside the car as a walking harness. The harness is easily attached to any of the rear safety belts using snap links. Available in four different sizes, you'll easily find a model that fits your dog perfectly.

Laminated windows for the cabin and load compartment help reduce noise from the outside so that you and your passengers can enjoy an even quieter ride. They can also enhance your security as the windows' high resistance to external force makes it hard for a thief to break into your car. For your comfort, they also contribute to reduced UV radiation inside the cabin.

The alarm helps guard your Volvo when parked and deter unwelcome visits. It also reacts to movement inside the car, the breaking of a window and if someone tries to steal your wheels or tow your car away. It is automatically activated when you lock the car and is connected to the doors, bonnet and tailgate. A level sensor deters thieves from jacking up the car to steal your wheels or tow it away, while the deadlock function makes it impossible for a thief to open the doors from the inside once the car is locked from the outside. The movement sensor, level sensor and deadlock function can be switched off so people or pets can be left inside the parked and locked car.

Lock and unlock the doors and tailgate securely and conveniently using the remote control. And upon leaving or entering your car, you can close or open all windows, including a panoramic roof, at the touch of a button. Adding to your security, you can unlock the tailgate separately. This allows you to access your load compartment while nobody else can open any of the doors from the outside.

To further enhance your personal security, the doors can be set to automatically lock the moment you drive away. Alternatively, lock them swiftly from the front seats using the lock button. For your safety in the event of an accident, your Volvo unlocks automatically to make it possible to open the doors from the outside.

As long as you have your remote control in the car, the keyless start function allows you to start the engine by simply turning the start knob while depressing the brake pedal.

Private locking allows you to keep the luggage compartment locked when you lend out your remote key. This stops the luggage compartment from being unlocked with the remote, but the central locking and ignition can be used as normal. Additionally, the boot lid overlaps the hidden storage compartment under the load floor – making it impossible to open from the inside.

If you forgot to close the windows or the panoramic roof upon leaving the car, they can be conveniently closed using the remote control. And before entering the car, they can be opened to allow fresh air into the cabin.

For your convenience and security, the doors and tailgate can be locked and unlocked anytime from the inside using the central locking controls in the front doors. The lock controls on the rear doors each lock their own rear door. The doors can be opened from the inside anytime by pulling the door handle.

If you've locked the car from the outside and a thief smashes a door window, this function makes it impossible to open any of the doors from the inside.

Keep small items secure and out of sight in the easily accessible storage compartment under the load compartment floor. In addition, the tailgate overlaps and locks the storage compartment hatch when it's closed.

Enhancing security as you approach your car at night, exterior light sources illuminate the immediate surroundings for 30 seconds when you unlock using the remote. This also turns on the interior lighting. And when leaving the car, just pull the headlight stalk to light up the path to your door. This function can be set in a choice of 30, 60 or 90 seconds duration.

The body-coloured door handles with ground lighting illuminate the area beneath the door handles for a welcoming feel when approaching your car at night. Ground lighting is activated when you unlock your car using the remote control. For your extra convenience, the optional LED ground lighting under the doors further illuminates the area below the open door. Included with the Keyless locking system.

The tempered glass in the side windows is three to five times stronger than ordinary glass at the same thickness. The tempered glass helps enhance safety in the event of a collision or a glass breakage and breaks into small pieces to help reduce the risk of injury.

Increase security and reduce the risk of wheel theft with these lockable wheel bolts. Features one uniquely coded socket allowing only you or your dealer or technician to remove the wheels.

This feature can support in heavy traffic and when reversing. When a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches fast from behind, you can be alerted via a light in the door mirrors. Should you nonetheless drift into the path of another vehicle, your car can help steer you back into your lane. To help make parking safer, it can also alert you on crossing traffic when you reverse out of a parking space with limited rear visibility. It can even brake for you if there's a risk of collision. The feature also includes a function that can prevent you from being hit from behind by activating the hazard warning lights at a rapid rate if a fast approaching car comes too close. If a collision can't be avoided, the front safety belts will be tensioned just before the impact to help keep passengers in the correct position. The brakes will also activate if your car is at a standstill to further reduce the risk of whiplash injury. Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, these features are only supportive functions. All described functions may not be available in all markets.

Rear Collision Warning keeps you one step ahead of the traffic. By activating all the indicator lights at a rapid rate, fast-approaching vehicles are alerted if they drive too close and a collision is imminent. If a collision can't be avoided, the front safety belts will be tensioned just before the impact to help keep passengers in the correct position. The brakes will also activate if your car is at a standstill to further reduce the risk of whiplash injury. Rear Collision Warning with braking at standstill is part of Driver awareness.

If your car is equipped with the head-up display, Distance Alert helps you maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead by displaying a warning symbol if you're too close. This function activates automatically when Adaptive Cruise Control is disengaged. Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

Connected Safety is a unique, cloud-based safety feature that can help you foresee and adapt your driving for hazardous situations on the road ahead. Using actual weather and infrastructure information, Connected Safety can alert you with a symbol in the driver display or optional head-up display. You will also be alerted if another connected vehicle on the road ahead of you detects slippery conditions. In that case, a message will be sent from that vehicle to your car via the “cloud”. The same applies if another connected vehicle on the road ahead of you stands still with activated hazard lights, making you aware of the potentially dangerous traffic situation. And if your car detects slippery road conditions, it will share that information via the “cloud” with other nearby connected vehicles. By doing so, your car actually also contributes to enhanced safety for other road users.

Road Sign Information alerts you on speed limits, "no overtaking", "no entry" and various types of supplementary signs. The road sign is displayed on the speedometer or in the head-up display. If you exceed the speed limit, Road Sign Information can alert you with a flashing speed limit sign icon. It can also inform you about speed cameras. And if you drive in the wrong direction on a one-way street, you'll be alerted with a no-entry sign icon. Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

This technology helps reduce the risk for more damage and injury after a collision – such as colliding with other cars or people – your Volvo brakes automatically when the safety belt pre-tensioners or an airbag are activated.

Looking out for you and braking or helping to steer away if necessary, City Safety adds to relaxed control. This Volvo safety innovation detects other vehicles as well as pedestrians and cyclists – day or night. City Safety supports you with audible, visible and brake pulse warnings when needed. If a collision is imminent or if you should turn into the path of an oncoming vehicle in an intersection, City Safety can brake automatically to help you avoid or mitigate an impact. The Steering Support function helps you take evasive action at speeds between 50 and 100 km/h. As you begin to steer away from an obstacle in front, City Safety can help you make this manoeuvre as efficient as possible by braking the inner wheels individually and reinforcing your steering input. Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

This feature supports you at speeds above 65 km/h. If you're about to cross a lane marking without using the indicator, the car will gently steer you back into the lane. If the steering intervention is not enough or you keep steering across the lane markings, you'll be alerted with vibrations in the steering wheel. Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

If you stray over the outer lane marking or the road edge, this feature will support you in helping to steer the car back onto the road.

The Polestar Engineered Optimisation powertrain software allows you to enjoy a more precise and balanced driving experience. Together with Polestar's engineers, we have optimised important performance areas such as mid-range engine performance, gearshifts and throttle response. To get the most out of the Polestar Engineered Optimisation software, we strongly recommend you add our optional drive mode selector.

This mild hybrid is as responsive on the highway as in the city. It's a superb all-rounder that delivers generous, smooth power just where you need it, ensuring excellent drivability in combination with responsive all-wheel drive and our intuitive 8-speed Geartronic™. By recovering energy generated by braking and supporting the petrol engine, the mild hybrid technology helps to use fuel more efficiently. It also adds to a more comfortable driving experience. The engine restarts instantly and you can enjoy smoother acceleration from standstill. Using low friction technology and an advanced turbo this engine maximises power and efficiency. For your everyday drivability, the turbo provides particularly good response at low to medium engine speeds. Low engine weight contributes to balanced handling, while Start/Stop technology and our Eco function optimise the powertrain and the climate system to further reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Adding our Drive mode function, you'll easily adapt the powertrain characteristics to your preferences.

Our quick and smooth shifting 8-speed Geartronic™ automatic offers superior efficiency and an intuitive drive. You're always in the right gear – whether it's for optimal engine response at all revs, or for smooth cruising with highest fuel-efficiency. Whenever you're in the mood for dynamic driving, just shift to manual mode.

Our quick and smooth shifting 8-speed Geartronic™ transmission offers superior efficiency and an intuitive drive. You're always in the right gear – whether it's for optimal engine response at all revs, or for smooth cruising with highest fuel-efficiency. Whenever you're in the mood for dynamic driving, just shift to manual mode. And adding our Drive Mode Selector, you can adapt the automatic gear shift pattern to your driving style.

Our micro hybrid technology including a Start/Stop function further reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in the city. When you stop at a traffic light or in a traffic queue, the engine shuts off temporarily to eliminate idling and restarts instantly when you resume driving.

Our AWD technology with Instant Traction™ gives you an edge by increasing driving stability and traction – on all road surfaces and in all weathers. As conditions change, wheels with the best grip get the most power to optimise your drive. Under normal conditions practically all the power is distributed to the front wheels to minimise fuel consumption without compromising on stability. And when needed, up to 50% of the engine's power can be distributed to the rear wheels. At standstill, full all-wheel drive is always engaged to prepare for maximum traction. This also facilitates take-off in slippery conditions or if you for example are pulling a boat trailer up a ramp.

Hill Descent Control offers controlled descents on steep, rough and slippery roads. When activated, it helps you descend smoothly from 8 to 40 km/h using engine braking or, if needed, by braking each wheel individually – you just have to steer. You can brake anytime or, if you prefer, accelerate to adapt the speed. The smooth accelerator characteristics of Hill Descent Control also makes it easier to move off when towing a heavy trailer or a boat on a trailer up a ramp. It also works in reverse gear.
