The Used Volvo S40 2.5 For Sale Can Be Loaded With Diverse Driver Assistance Systems

Car brand uses the very diverse driver assistance systems, as well as various combinations of them and new technologies, in different classes of vehicles and that aspect should also true for used Volvo s40 2.5 for sale. Even the names attributed to the solutions are not always identical; sometimes brands create their terminology and abbreviations. Here it is not possible to go into detail and illustrate the products of each brand. 

The calibration of sensors and cameras is often a complex operation, which should be carried out by an expert. This requires diagnostic devices, software and optical calibration equipment suitable for this purpose. The overview below is about the selected add-ons that are active to provide drive assistance on versatile terrains, as per need basis. Please note that if a used car buyer wants to add any additional add-on, so it will definitely affect the used Volvo s40 2.5 price.

Cross-Traffic Alert Assistant

The intersection assistant detects the presence of traffic at a road crossing and consequently warns the driver by sending optical and acoustic signals. Almost all vehicle brands offer an intersection assistant which is based on the brake assistant and the data provided by cameras (stereo) or radar sensors. The intersection assistant is usually active only up to a certain speed. 

Speed Control Assistant

Advanced systems with cameras recognize road signs that indicate a speed limit. Thanks to advanced software capable of processing images, the vehicle warns of the presence of these limits in real time. The warning can be of an acoustic and/or optical nature. Some systems recognize road signs even abroad or modify or eliminate the warning in urban contexts or the absence of speed limits. These systems can also recognize other traffic indications and connect to other driver assistance devices. Navigation systems also indicate speed limits. However, they can create problems if the software or road maps are out of date.

Lane Change Assistant

When the lane change assistant is activated, the radar sensors on the rear of the vehicle integrate the driver's gaze during lane changes. The sensors monitor the entire area behind the vehicle up to the parallel lane, including the so-called ‘blind spot’. If the driver activates the direction indicators to change lanes while a vehicle arrives, he receives a warning, which can be an optical signal on the side mirror or, depending on the system, an additional acoustic warning.

Cornering Brake Control

BMW has been using the cornering brake assistant for several years. So, when the vehicle is cornering, the wheels inside it support a lower load (depending on the radius of curvature and speed). If the brake is applied at this point, it may happen that the vehicle steers or brakes excessively, the vehicle could skid. These problems are solved with the intervention of the braking assistant when cornering, which, with the help of the ABS control unit (the speed of each wheel is controlled by the ABS sensors), controls each wheel individually by adjusting the brake pressure. Within the limits set by the system, the vehicle remains stable even during braking on bends. Point to note that the driver does not experience the adjustment process in that scenario.
