When it comes to safety, Volvo has made its name on safe, solid cars and the 2015 Volvo S80 sedan is a solid example of Volvo's legacy. Standard safety features in the Volvo S80 include anti-lock brakes, front seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, active front head restraints, and a low-speed frontal collision mitigation system (Volvo's City Safety System). The standard issued City Safety System automatically applies the brakes to avoid or minimize impact if an impending low-speed collision is detected. In addition to its numerous standard safety features, the S80 offers plenty of the latest technology to help you lessen your chances of getting involved in an accident.
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an even speed combined with a pre-selected time interval to the vehicle ahead, keeping you at a set distance between your Volvo and the car in front of you. Commuters will enjoy how much more relaxing the use of Adaptive Cruising makes driving, especially in slow moving traffic. Whether you are driving north into New York City or traveling the Tappan Zee or GWB, Adaptive Cruise Control can help you get to your destination with confidence.
For those who find themselves having to parallel park, the Volvo Park Assist Pilot takes the stress out of parallel parking. With Park Assist Pilot, your Volvo can park itself. Simply activate Park Assist Pilot, pull up to your desired parking space and let go of the wheel. Your Volvo S80 steers itself, while letting you know when to brake. Another safety feature designed to assist you in parking and maneuvering in tight spaces, is the Volvo 360° camera. The 360° camera allows you to get a bird's-eye view of your S80, allowing you to safely view obstacles at any angle. With the 360° camera, commuter parking and maneuvering on congested New York City streets is a breeze.
