Large animals like big bucks, deer or moose are, unfortunately, the cause of many collisions. Standard Large Animal Detection, another world-first safety feature from Volvo, allows your car to detect a large animal in the road with a radar camera, warn you, and if necessary, brake if you don’t. If a collision is imminent at speeds above 18 mph, the front safety belts are tightened to secure you and your front seat passenger.

When you’re reversing out of a parking space, standard Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) warns you of approaching traffic. The rear-mounted radar sensors scan the area to identify any traffic approaching from the sides of your vehicle at a distance of up to 98 feet away. It gets your attention with audible warnings from the left or right rear speaker and by graphics in your display.

Standard Oncoming Lane Mitigation automatically helps you steer back into your lane if it detects that you have crossed the lane markings, heading into the path of an oncoming vehicle. If you don’t take action, this system helps you steer the car back. You’ll get an audible warning signal at the same time the car starts to steer. After the steering intervention has been completed, a message is shown in the Digital Driver Display. At anytime, you can override the automatic steering function.

Run-off Road Mitigation can help reduce the risk of a road departure, which could be caused by poor weather conditions. It assists with steering to help put you back on a safer path. The advanced technology operates at higher speeds if you stray over lane markings to the road edge. It intervenes when a road departure scenario is detected to be imminent by your car’s advanced sensor system. The front safety belts are electrically tightened to safeguard you and your front seat passenger.

Whether you park in a parallel or perpendicular space, available Park Assist Pilot takes over the steering and guides your car into place. All you need to control is the brake and the accelerator. The technology is so precise it can park in spaces you wouldn’t normally consider – when parallel parking, even a gap just 1.2 times the length of the car is enough.

For more relaxing journeys, standard Adaptive Cruise Control, which is activated at speeds over 18 mph, can automatically maintain your set speed while still keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front. Just select your desired speed and time gap to the vehicle in front – and enjoy smooth driving from a standstill up to highway speeds. In stop-and-go city traffic, the Queue Assist function helps you follow the vehicle ahead as it accelerates and slows down. On the highway, your speed automatically adapts to the slower moving vehicle to help you maintain a proper distance. Distance Alert activates a red warning light in the lower section of the windshield to help you keep a secure distance.

Utilizing the latest technology, the available user-friendly 12.3-inch Digital Driver Display intuitively shows you information, including entertainment, navigation directions, actual road signs and more. Depending on the way you like to view your info, you can choose from four graphic modes, all with amazing color resolution. For easy viewing, it features two large round instruments with an information display in between. When you use the navigation system, it becomes bigger. The display's brightness automatically adjusts to surrounding light to make it comfortable and restful for the eyes.

Projecting crisp graphics and text onto the lower part of the windshield, the head-up display function makes your journeys in the XC90 easy and intuitive. It shows you warnings and vital information relating to speed limits, cruise control functions, navigation directions and road signs – even incoming phone calls. So your eyes never leave the road while you’re monitoring speed or receiving safety warnings. And you don't have to change focus or look down, which is less strain on the eyes. The brightness of the head-up display adapts automatically to varying light conditions. Plus, you can set the system to suit your own personal preferences and link it to the memory feature for the power-operated seat.

One of the impressive features that make the S90 stand out is the standard 9-inch Sensus Touchscreen in the center display. It’s a beautiful example of Scandinavian design, where form meets function. That’s because the large, intuitive touchscreen with simple-to-use controls is designed to keep you connected and in control at all times. Bold, clear graphics make it easy to absorb information – at a glance. Compared with horizontal landscape format screens in most competitors, the S90’s portrait format makes reading maps, viewing menus and following navigation prompts effortless – with less need for scrolling. The surface responds to the lightest of touches – just brush your fingers over the glass to operate the controls. Best of all, it’s safe to view, without diverting attention away from the road ahead.

With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Integration, all the functions you love about your smartphone are seamlessly integrated onto your car’s 9-inch Sensus Touchscreen. Make calls, send & receive messages, enjoy music and navigate easily using the touchscreen, steering wheel controls or voice control. Best of all, it allows you to stay focused on the road. Connecting your devices is quick and easy, too. Simply plug your smartphone into the car using the USB connection to turn the center display into an extension of your iPhone® (5 or later) or Android smartphone (5.0 Lollipop or later). When connected, your phone will also be charging.
