Is Volvo's Automatic Braking Always On?
2 Answers
Volvo's automatic braking is always on. Below is relevant information about Volvo: Interior: The fashionable cross-car dashboard design maximizes limited space, authentically presenting the unique Nordic sense of relaxation and harmony. The asymmetrically designed center console allows drivers to operate easily without changing their sitting posture. Safety: Constructed with ultra-high-strength steel and extra-high-strength steel materials to ensure body rigidity and passenger safety. The battery pack features a cage-style high-strength aluminum frame design, consistently protecting battery safety. The battery is equipped with a long-range heat pump system, which reduces energy consumption in winter and enhances winter range.
I've been driving a Volvo for almost five years, and their automatic braking systems, like City Safety, are usually enabled by default without needing manual activation each time. Every time I start the car, the system automatically activates and stands ready unless I deliberately turn it off via the central control menu. However, I personally recommend keeping it on because this feature can truly save lives in emergencies—for instance, during city traffic jams when pedestrians suddenly dart out, it has automatically braked several times, preventing accidents. Volvo designs with safety as a priority, so the system always runs by default, but you can customize sensitivity or temporarily disable it in specific scenarios like parking lots. Sensors can sometimes be obstructed by mud, affecting judgment, so regular cleaning is necessary, but overall, it's very reliable. I find it especially friendly for beginners, reducing driving stress, though experienced drivers can also get used to its minor interventions.
