Lane Changing Support

Lane Changing Support (LCS) keeps an eye on the blind spot on the passenger side that the rearview mirrors cannot cover. When the driver operates the indicator to change lanes, the LCS system’s radar unit first checks whether there is a vehicle in the blind spot. If there is, the driver is alerted via a light signal, if the speed >30km/h and the 'target' vehicle relative speed is -14 to +21km/h

Adaptive cruise control maintains a steady distance
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) option is a system that makes it easy to blend into traffic and keep a constant safe distance/time gap behind the vehicle in front. The radar-based ACC system works via automatic operation of the accelerator and brakes. The radar sensor is entirely new and has improved detection capabilities.

Electronically controlled fast brakes

Volvo’s Electronically controlled Brake System (EBS) is characterised by high braking effect allied to heat-resistant disc installation. Electronic control permits extremely fast response and a short braking distance. EBS is available in the Medium and High program packages.

ESP brakes each wheel individually

Electronic Stability Program is included in EBS High for all 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4 disc braked tractors with air suspension and is now also available on 6×2 air suspended tag axle rigids. The system permits more uniform braking with the possibility of redistribution of braking forces between the axles and wheels to prevent over or understeer, as well as a degree of roll over protection.
