IntelliSafe-driver support
IntelliSafe is the Volvo Cars concept concerning car safety. It comprises a number of systemsthat contribute to making a car journey safe, tothe prevention of injuries and to the protection ofpassengers from other road users.
SupportThere are systems incorporated in IntelliSafe that help the driver to drive the car in a safe manner.The driver support functions incorporated in thecar include e.g. the adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control) * that ensures that a
constant distance is held between the car and the vehicle in front. Pilot Assist * helps the driver to keep the car
between the lane's edge markings, combined with maintaining a preset time interval to thevehicle ahead. Park Assist Pilot * helps the driver park the car by
sensing the area around it. Other examples of systems that help the driver are the Active main beam, Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) * and Blind Spot Information (BLIS) * sys-
tems.
PreventionAn example of a function that helps to prevent accidents is City Safety. The function warns thedriver of risks of collision with another vehicle,pedestrians, cyclists or larger animals. If the driver does not react to the warning and the risk of col-lision is imminent then City Safety can automati-cally brake the car. Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)
* is another example of a
function that helps to prevent accidents by warn- ing the driver and giving corrective steering inter-ventions if the car is about to cross a lane sideline. Also available is the run-off mitigation function (Run off mitigation), whose purpose is to reducethe risk of the car unintentionally leaving theroad, and it actively steers the car back onto theroad.
ProtectionTo protect the driver and passengers, the car isequipped with seatbelt tensioners which can ten-sion the seatbelts in critical situations and in col-lisions. It also has airbags and inflatable curtains,as well as Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)which protects against whiplash injuries. A Pedestrian Protection System (PPS) is also available for mitigating a pedestrian's impact withthe car in the event of a frontal collision.

IMPORTANT
If the passenger airbag is deactivated, the electric seatbelt tensioner on the passengerside will also be deactivated.
Resetting the electric seatbelt tensioner
Once the critical situation has passed, the seat- belt and electric seatbelt tensioner are resetautomatically. If the belt still remains tensioned:
1. Stop the car at a safe place.
2. Unfasten the seatbelt and then refasten it.
> The seatbelt and electric seatbelt ten-sioner are reset.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Volvo recommends that an authorised Volvoworkshop should be contacted. If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision,the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some ofthe seatbelt's protective properties may havebeen lost even if the seatbelt does not appeardamaged. The seatbelt must also be replacedif it shows signs of wear or damage. The newseatbelt must be type-approved and designedfor installation at the same location as thereplaced seatbelt.
