Volvo S60 Safety: Reassuring Design Elements

In the event that you find yourself involved in a collision, you can be confident that the S60 has what it takes to keep you, your family, and your friends as secure as possible. One of the items that make this possible is the Volvo safety cage.

A high percentage of boron steel is used in its construction. Its ultra-high-strength sees to it that everyone inside the passenger compartment is protected when a collision occurs. On top of that, the front and rear deformation zones work to redirect the energy away from the impact. 

The Volvo S60 also provides you with crash-absorbing front seats that absorb vertical impacts. If the car ever leaves the road, these seats protect the spine when there is a hard landing.

Airbag Support and Advanced Features

Another aspect of the S60 that is there to help out during crashes is the airbag system. It includes driver and passenger airbags, an Inflatable Curtain, and Side Impact Protection System (SIPS™) airbags.

The Volvo S60 also supplies you with plenty of support throughout the drive. Some of the key features that make this possible are:

• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Lane Keeping Aid
• Run-off road mitigation system

Adaptive Cruise Control comes in handy when you find yourself traveling on highways for long stretches at a time. It keeps track of the vehicle in front of you and adjusts your speed in order to maintain the safe following distance that you've selected.

The Lane Keeping Aid has the ability to gently guide you back to where you want to be if it detects that you are about to unintentionally cross over into a neighboring lane. If the car continues to drift, it will bring this to your attention via steering wheel vibrations.

The run-off road mitigation system can prevent you from unintentionally exiting the roadway by using steering input as well as brake support.
