This system is now active at speeds up to 50 km/h (previously 30 km/h). The car automatically brakes if the driver fails to react in time when the vehicle in front slows down or stops -- or if the car is approaching a stationary vehicle too fast. The collision can be avoided if the relative speed difference between the two vehicles is below 15 km/h. If the speed difference is between 15 and 50 km/h, the speed of impact is reduced to minimise the effects of the collision.]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:27:03 GMT <![CDATA[De nieuwe Volvo V40: Park Assist Pilot]]>  The new Park Assist Pilot makes parallel parking easy and precise by taking over and operating the steering wheel while the driver handles the gearbox and controls the car's speed.

In an emergency situation the driver first receives an audible warning combined with a flashing light in the windscreen's head-up display. If the driver fails to react to the warning and a collision is imminent, full braking power is automatically applied. The technology can avoid a collision with a pedestrian at speeds up to 35 km/h if the driver does not react in time. At higher speeds, the focus is on reducing the car's speed as much as possible prior to impact.]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:26:28 GMT <![CDATA[De nieuwe Volvo V40: Active High Beam]]>  The new Active High Beam technology helps the driver utilise high beam more efficiently. It also offers automatic switching between high and low beam at the right moment. A camera monitors other vehicles and their headlamps and tail lamps. Advanced image processing software analyses this data and provides information about the position and direction of other vehicles. The calculation serves as the basis for automatic switching between low and high beam.]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:26:12 GMT <![CDATA[De nieuwe Volvo V40: Verbeterde Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)]]>  The enhanced Blind Sport Information System is radar-based. The technology can now also monitor and alert the driver to rapidly approaching vehicles up to 70 m behind the car. Of course it still informs the driver about vehicles in the blind spots on both sides of the car. The technology is based on radar sensors located in the rear corners of the car, behind the bumper cover. The radars continuously scan the area behind and alongside the vehicle. Warnings are displayed in LED indicators located in each A-pillar.]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:25:53 GMT <![CDATA[De nieuwe Volvo V40: Cross Traffic Alert]]>  Cross Traffic Alert uses the radar sensors at the rear end of the car to alert the driver to crossing traffic from the sides when reversing out of a parking space. The technology warns of traffic up to 30 metres from the car. The alert, which remains active as long as the target is present in the zone, is delivered to the driver as an audible signal and a visual warning in the centre screen.]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:25:35 GMT <![CDATA[De nieuwe Volvo V40: Road Sign Information]]>  Road Sign Information supports the driver by using a forward-looking camera to detect road signs, which are shown in the instrument display.]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:24:46 GMT <![CDATA[De nieuwe Volvo V40: Pedestrian Airbag Technology]]>  The Volvo V40 features newly developed Pedestrian Airbag Technology, which is a world first.
