Roll-Over Protection System
(ROPS)
A robust roof structure together
with Volvo’s unique Roll-Over
Protection System (ROPS) help
protect the occupants in a rollover
situation. ROPS is activated by a
gyroscope that monitors the
vehicle’s leaning angle. The safety
belt pre-tensioners are activated at
every seat to help keep occupants
more securely restrained. At the
same time, the inflatable curtain
(IC) deploys and remains inflated for
several seconds to help provide
extended protection. To help keep
the passenger compartment intact
despite severe external forces, door
pillars and strategic parts of the
safety cage is reinforced in ultra
high-strength steel.

Pedestrian protection
Power retractable door mirrors with
ground lighting*
To help reduce the risk of serious injuries on unprotected road-users, the front of the
vehicle is gently rounded, the headlamps are integrated flush with the body, and the
bonnet is energy-absorbing to act as a crumple zone.
At the touch of a button, these door
mirrors can be folded flat against the car
where they are less likely to get damaged
after you’ve parked. The integrated ground
lighting is activated with the remote
control. Beyond enhancing security to and
from your car at night, this is also
convenient when getting in and out.

Side Impact Protection System (SIPS)
SIPS is a Volvo unique safety system that has been developed to help protect where
occupants are most exposed to the crash forces. The steel framework of the vehicle
–
including the front seats – is designed and reinforced to help displace the impact of
a side-collision away from the occupants to other parts of the car body and help
prevent intrusion into the cabin. The side structure is extremely strong to help withstand
a severe side impact. The Inflatable Curtain (IC) for all the outboard occupants
including the ones in the third row and the front seat side airbags interact to help
provide further protection.
Approach and Home Safe Lighting
Activated with the remote control, Approach Lighting provides a warm reception on a
dark night. This consists of interior and side lights – ground lighting too, if you choose
it. Home Safe Lighting is activated with the headlight stalk as you leave the car and it
provides a similar courtesy when exiting your car. This feature includes a dipped beam
from the headlight to accompany you to your door.
