Pedestrian detection system
Collected my V40 this afternoon.
Driving home the pedestrian detection system scared the bejesus out of me. Lol. Thing is. There was no one in front of me. There were pedestrians at the side of the road on the pavement. Is this a sensitivity issue? Can it be adjusted? Very nice car tho. The interior is a class above my 2010 Skoda Octavia. |

I don't think so. Need to read the owners manual. Lol The collision detection light which projects onto the windscreen is annoying also. Need to look into that too. Lol. All for a good cause though. Safety. |

Still trying to understand it all. Lol It's an approved used Volvo, so any updates should have been done I would hope. |

It's not just pedestrians it looks for , its animals and children and cars too and maybe a bird was flying towards the car ? etc . See if you can reproduce it under similar conditions or in the same place ...

Will see how it goes. Been out today and had nothing. Just the red collision detection warning regards a car in front, which I was still some way from. I believe this could be a setting I have somehow triggered though. I pressed the button on the center console to disable for now til I understand better. |

you could have been driving towards the car in front and the gap was closing too quickly ... what do you think ?

I think the full safety package onyl comes if the car has Intellisafe Pro which was a £1900 option. Does your car have that option?
SWMBO has a my17 without that option so only has the baisc city safety function which is a collison warning system that works up to about 30mph. That triggers occasionally with a beep and flashin red symbol in the heads up area of the screen. It is usually when a car is parked off the road on the nearside and you approach on a bend so it thinks the vehicle is in front of you. There are couple of places where it happens to her regularly. The bend straightens ourt though as so the brakes are not applied. There is a delay in the system to aloow youy to brake first, it triggers if you dont brake in time. First time it happened to both of us it scared the daylights. Hope that helps
