Driver support and navigation -> Enabling door opening alerts for Your Volvo EX30 4 Door First Generation (2025-2026)

Door opening alerts are designed to warn you of passing traffic so that you don't open a door in its path. These alerts can be  
provided when the car is stationary or moving very slowly[1]  
.
When the car detects traffic that is about to pass close to the car's sides, a light appears in the wing mirror along with a notific-  
ation in the display. If you begin to open the door on the side of the detected traffic, the alert intensifies. A sound alert can occur  
along with the visual alerts depending on how urgent the warning is.  
Door opening alerts can be turned on or off in settings.  
Tip  
Door opening alerts and blind spot information  
Door opening alerts are indicated in a similar way to alerts about vehicles in your blind spot. These two features also rely  
on the same rear radars for detection of traffic. However, the features are enabled or disabled independently as they have  
separate use cases.  
Limitations  
The car uses its rear radar system to detect approaching traffic. Be sure to read about radar and detection conditions and limita-  
tions in their separate section of the manual.  
Important  
Door opening alerts are supplements to safe user practices. The driver and passengers are fully responsible for making  
sure that the car doors can be safely opened.

10.3.6. Driver alert  
The car continuously observes your behaviour while driving and can alert you if you seem unfocused. A lack  
of focus can be caused by distractions or being tired.  
If the car identifies signs of reduced driver focus, it will notify you with a sound and a message.  
The car analyses your driving behaviour and can detect signs of tiredness[1]. It then notifies you in the driver information area  
and with a sound.  
The car uses different methods to assess your focus when driving.  
Sensor tracking of your face and eye movements allows the car to determine where you are directing your attention.  
Attention tracking  
Manoeuvring  
Analysing the way you manoeuvre the car can provide an indication of lacking focus. One example of this is excessive lane drifting.  
Driver alert notifications can be turned off in settings. This does not disable the systems that monitor your driving as they are  
used by other features.  
Warning  
The importance of a well-rested driver  
Any notifications about you showing signs of being tired should be taken seriously, as a tired driver is often unaware of  
their condition. If you feel tired or receive an alert about it from the car, stop as soon as possible in a suitable location for  
a rest. Always plan for regular breaks and start all trips with a well-rested driver.  
Driving while tired is comparable to driving under the influence of alcohol.  
Conditions and limitations  
Attention tracking requires an unobscured view of the driver's face.  
Improperly stowed items can obscure the view of the driver, as can dust and dirt on the sensor. Keep the driver's space  
clean and clutter-free.  
Wearing certain clothing and accessories can obstruct parts of the driver's face that need to be visible for attention  
tracking, such as the eyes.
