If it's been several years since you last purchased a vehicle, you're probably pretty surprised with all of the different safety features and technology included in today's models. Here are some of the top safety features to look out for at Patrick Volvo Cars in Schaumburg.
360-Degree Vision
Rearview cameras are standard these days, but the 360-degree view is the latest development. A few different camera angles are combined to provide you with images from all your different blind spots. There shouldn't be any areas that are invisible to you as the driver.
Pedestrian Detection Alert
You will receive an alert when anyone or anything is passing by your vehicle. If something is in your path, you'll be alerted so you can avoid an accident. This technology uses infrared light, so it works in both the daytime and night.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Cruise control provides both convenience and safety. While you're driving with cruise control turned on (to allow for taking your foot off the gas pedal), the adaptive function will adjust your speed according to other vehicles in your path.
Lane Departure Warning System
When your vehicle starts to drift out of its lane, you'll be notified by a vibration in your steering wheel or a loud beeping sound. There may also be something that flashes on your dashboard or infotainment system. This helps prevent collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians if you're not paying close enough attention to the road.
If you would like to check out a new or used vehicle that is equipped with some of this technology, stop down to Patrick Volvo Cars at your convenience. We'll get you behind the wheel of a vehicle so you can test everything out to get an idea of what you like.
