City Safety steering assistance can help the driver steer away from a vehicle/obstacle when it is not possible to avoid a collision by braking alone. City Safety steering assistance is always activated and cannot be switched off.

Volvo XC90. City Safety steering assistance for evasive maneuver Slow-moving/stationary vehicle or obstacle.

City Safety helps provide assistance by strengthening the driver's steering movements, but only if the driver has begun evasive action and the system detects that the driver's steering movements are not sufficient to avoid a collision.

The braking system is used simultaneously to further support steering movements. The function also helps stabilise the vehicle after it has passed an obstacle.

City Safety Steering Assist can detect:

  • vehicles
  • cyclists
  • pedestrians
  • large animals
