Safety - Our First Priority
Volvo's commitment to safety is paramount, integrating sophisticated systems to help avoid accidents and minimize injuries. The V70 is designed to protect occupants and those sharing the road.
Whiplash Protection Seating System (WHIPS): Built into the front seats, WHIPS absorbs rear-end collision forces to reduce neck and spine stress.
Side-Impact Protection System (SIPS): Reinforced side structures, roof pillars, doors, and dashboard, combined with side airbags and Inflatable Curtains (IC), reduce the risk of serious injury in side impacts.
Image Description: Diagrams illustrating the Whiplash Protection Seating System (WHIPS) and the Side-Impact Protection System (SIPS) with airbags.
Safety is integrated from the start with an advanced chassis and powerful brakes. Active stability systems like STC (Stability and Traction Control) and DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) enhance control on slippery roads or during evasive maneuvers.
Volvo Safety Systems
Volvo believes that the overall design determines a car's safety. The V70 integrates multiple systems harmoniously:
- Safety Cage: High-strength steel structure protecting occupants.
- Deformation Zones: Front and rear areas designed to absorb collision forces.
- Dual-Stage Airbags: Smart airbags that adjust inflation based on collision forces.
- Side-Impact Airbags: Chest protection airbags located in the front seat backrests.
- Energy-Absorbing Interior: Padded panels and door sides to reduce injury risk.
- Collapsible Steering Column: Designed to collapse in frontal collisions to protect the driver.
- Anti-Submarining Seats: Shaped seats to prevent occupants from sliding under seat belts.
- Inflatable Curtain (IC): Curtains inflate in side impacts to protect occupant heads, staying inflated for up to three seconds.
- Load Safety: Eyelets in the cargo floor for securing items and a retractable cargo net.
- Seat Belts with Pre-tensioners: Five seats with three-point belts that tighten in a collision and then slacken for airbag cushioning.
- ISOFIX Compliant: System for quick and correct installation of child safety seats.
- Protected Fuel Tank: Strategically placed to enhance safety in rear-end collisions.

Personal Security
Volvo's commitment extends to personal security, offering features to help avoid threatening situations.
Approach and Home Safe Lighting: Ground lighting in side mirrors illuminates the area around the car for safer approach and departure.
Security Features: Electronic immobilizer, reinforced door locks, and an alarm system with sensors in doors, hood, and tailgate deter theft. A panic button on the remote control activates the alarm.
