Since our life began in 1927, we’ve learned a great deal about keeping people safe, through extensive testing and by researching real-life accidents. In fact, while the entire automobile industry makes use of Volvo safety concepts, we continue to develop new ones.

The enhanced version, DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) also features an anti-skid function that brakes one or more of the wheels to help keep the car on course. Both systems react smoothly, efficiently, and instantaneously. For sportier driving or when driving in snow or sand, the anti-spin function can be reduced by

14 15 Like its siblings, the Volvo S60 was conceived in the Volvo Safety Centre. One of the most advanced facilities of its kind, this is where we crash test every model and variant of car we make. Above and beyond countless computer simulations, we conduct over 400 full-scale collisions each year. These tests are based on what our researchers discover on the roads – we’ve investigated over 30,000 actual acci- dents since 1970. In fact, everything we do to make cars safer begins, and ends with r
