Driver support and navigation -> Collision warnings and mitigation for Your Volvo EX30 4 Door First Generation (2025-2026)

10.3.1. Collision warnings and mitigation  
Your car has warning features designed to reduce the risk of a collision. If a collision cannot be avoided, early  
warning and response can help reduce its effects.  
Collision warning features include:  
Forward collision warnings  
Warnings about vehicles cutting across your lane  
Rear collision warnings  
Note  
Safety interventions  
If an urgent enough collision risk is identified, the car can intervene to avoid or mitigate the collision without any preced-  
ing collision warnings.  
Warning  
Never rely on collision warnings or safety interventions by the car to be a replacement for safe driving practices. Drive the  
car with the same attention to safety as required by a car without these features.  
Forward collision warnings  
Forward collision warnings can occur if you are getting too close to a vehicle in front of you. The car warns you if it identifies a  
collision risk that requires your immediate attention. This is done through notifications in the driver information area. If you are  
using the driving view, animations can be shown in combination with the notifications.  
The situation and level of urgency affect how forward collision warnings are communicated. Warnings can be communicated  
visually in the driver information area, with sound and with brake pulses.  
There are three levels of escalation for forward collision warnings.  
ꢀ. Increase distance to vehicle ahead  
ꢁ. Brake!  
ꢂ. Safety intervention. Forward collision risk.  
You can adjust how early you want to be warned. This is done in settings.  
Warnings about vehicles cutting across your lane  
Your car can warn you if you are about to be cut off, such as when a vehicle changes lanes just in front of you. Vehicles that  
swerve or move unpredictably in adjacent lanes can trigger these warnings as well. Your car uses messages in the driver inform-  
ation area to warn you in these situations. If you are using the driving view, the messages can be shown in combination with  
animations.  
Rear collision warnings

If your car identifies a situation with a high risk of a rear collision, it can flash its rear lights to warn drivers behind you. Rear col-  
lision warnings appear automatically if you slow down suddenly[1], such as during very hard braking. Warnings can also be  
provided if your car detects a vehicle rapidly approaching from behind. In this case, you do not need to be slowing down for a  
warning to appear. They can appear both when you're driving and when stopped, but only if your car detects a high enough risk  
of collision.  
If your car identifies a risk of a rear collision, this will be indicated in the driver information area if you are using the driving view.  
You can turn rear collision warnings on or off in settings.  
Note  
Collision response  
If a collision cannot be avoided, the car can respond in other ways to protect occupants and reduce the danger to sur-  
rounding traffic. Read more about these features in the safety section of this manual.  
[1]  
The rate of deceleration must exceed a certain threshold.  
10.3.1.1. Adjusting the sensitivity for forward collision  
warnings  
You can adjust the sensitivity of forward collision warnings in settings, giving you earlier or later warnings.  
Important  
Late warning option  
The late warning option is not recommended for permanent use. It can be used to reduce the number of warnings in ex-  
ceptional cases, such as during very dynamic driving or if the warnings are too frequent and at risk of distracting you.  
Changing driver support settings  
Make sure that you understand how changing the car’s settings affects its behaviour. It is particularly important when it  
comes to features that affect the level of assistance the car can provide.  
Press the car symbol  
in the bottom bar and go to Settings.  
1
Go to Driving → Safety assistance → Forward collision warning.

10.3.2. Interventions and warnings when reversing  
Your car has specialised features that can intervene and help prevent collisions when you are reversing at low  
speeds, such as when parking.  
Forms of detection  
The car has several ways to identify objects that are in or approaching your reversing path. If it detects an object, the car can  
provide warnings or intervene by braking.  
These sensors can identify certain obstacles immediately behind the car when reversing at low speeds.  
The car's rear radars can detect traffic approaching your reversing path from the sides.  
Certain features may use camera detection to help identify obstacles when reversing.  
Ultrasonic parking sensors  
Rear-facing radar  
Camera  
Important  
These types of detection have limitations and cannot detect all obstacles in every situation. Be sure to read the separate  
manual sections about their conditions and limitations.  
When you are reversing, some information from the detection systems can be communicated in the parking view.  
Warning and intervention features  
The following features are designed to react when the car identifies a risk of collision when reversing.  
Alerts about traffic crossing behind the car[1]  
Your car can provide visual alerts if it detects traffic about to cross your reversing path.
