Volvo S60 Automobile User Manual


 
WHETHER YOU’RE PULLING AWAY ON ICE OR TURNING ON A SLIPPERY PATCH OF COBBLES, THE REFINED CHASSIS GIVES THE VOLVO
S60 A FIRM STANCE AND AN EXCEPTIONAL HOLD. MULTI-LINK REAR SUSPENSION COUNTERACTS ANY TENDENCY TO UNDER-STEER,
WHILE MCPHERSON FRONT SUSPENSION STRUTS PROMOTE QUICK AND CRISP RESPONSE TO SUDDEN TURNING AND BRAKING. OVER
AND ABOVE THIS, DYNAMIC STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL ENSURES THAT EACH WHEEL IS USED TO ITS GREATEST ADVANTAGE
ON ALL SURFACES.
Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC)
(Standard 2.5T AWD, T5, R)
Should a wheel begin to lose traction, DSTC
automatically cuts its power until grip is regained.
If necessary, it will also step in to help counteract
a potential skid by applying brake to one or more
wheels as needed. The DSTC spin control function
can even be disengaged, providing better traction
in certain conditions.
ABS brakes with Emergency Brake Assistance
(EBA)
The anti-locking brakes are designed for optimal
performance even during repetitive and intensive
use. You can brake as hard as you like while you
steer clear of trouble. EBA detects attempted
emergency braking and, when necessary, provides
added assistance to bring the car to standstill in
the shortest possible distance.
Active Bi-Xenon Lights (ABL)
(Package 2.5T AWD)
Bi-Xenon technology provides twice the illumination
of a conventional halogen headlight. Active Bi-Xenon
Lights help you to see around bends at night. Con-
trolled by microprocessors, the motorized lights turn
up to 15° in either direction—faithfully lighting up
your chosen path. A twilight sensor disengages the
system during daylight to extend its lifespan, and a
high-pressure washer cleans the lenses—half at a
time for continuous performance.
