How Does City Safety Work?
City Safety keeps an eye on traffic in front with the help of a laser sensor that is integrated into the top of the windshield at the height of the rearview mirror. It can detect vehicles and other objects up to 18 feet in front of the XC60's bumper. At 19 mph or less, City Safety detects a stopped or slower moving car in front of you, and applies the brakes.

City Safety benefits everyone
A Volvo equipped with City Safety offers a range of benefits both to its occupants and to the occupants of the vehicle in front:
- Protection of the occupants in the vehicle in front: The best protection for all involved is of course to avoid the accident in the first place- with City Safety this is often possible. However, in those cases where an accident cannot be avoided, City Safety helps reduce the force of the collision. As a result, the occupants of the vehicle in front suffer a less serious impact and may in fact entirely escape consequences such as whiplash injuries.
- Protection of the occupants in their own car: Colliding with a vehicle in front of you can be both a physically harmful and an emotionally unpleasant experience. By reducing the speed prior to the impact, City Safety helps limit the injury risks for the occupants in the rear-ending car as well. It may eliminate them completely if the car manages to stop before colliding.
- Potential for reduced owner costs: Even low-impact speeds can result in significant costs. City Safety helps the owner reduce time-consuming body shop repairs and insurance company hassles. Volvo is currently involved in a dialogue with insurance companies regarding lower insurance premiums for cars equipped with City Safety.
