There’s more to automotive safety than avoiding accidents and reducing injuries. Volvo’s holistic approach to safety extends to the personal safety of drivers and passengers not just in, but also around, your Volvo. To protect you and your property, we’ve developed extensive foolproof and redundant systems that help protect against vehicle theft, forcible entry, theft of personal property, and personal threat.

Volvo Innovations in Personal Safety

* Home Safe Lighting System – illuminates the interior and the area in front of and around your Volvo for 30 seconds after you remove its key from the ignition and pull the high beam lever.
* Theft-Proof Lock System – makes it impossible to start the car without the right key and deadlocks the doors if a window is broken when the system is armed.
* Volvo OnCall – integrates a GSM telephone with built-in GPS unit for direct communication with a Volvo OnCall centre in the event of an accident, emergency, breakdown, break-in or theft. Route guidance, traffic and travel information are also available.
* A central locking system – locks or unlocks all the doors with the touch of a button from the driver’s seat or by remote control outside the vehicle.
* Advanced security and alarm system is activated when the vehicle is tampered with, or by remote control in threatening situations.
