See More With the Latest in Vehicle Camera Technology From Volvo

At Volvo Cars Silver Spring, we love helping you find the best cars for the best deals, but we also care about your safety. A recent report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) says “rearview cameras, soon to be standard on all new vehicles, can be expected to prevent nearly 1 in 6 police-reported backing crashes.” In light of this, Volvo is already ahead of the pack, including the latest in-vehicle camera technology to help you maintain awareness of your surroundings and stay safe on the roads.* Take a look at some of the latest vehicle camera innovations from Volvo:

Rear Park Assist Camera (pictured above)

As mentioned above, a rearview camera is not only vital, it’s soon to be a requirement in all vehicles. Luckily, the rearview camera from Volvo is top of the line. Simply shift the vehicle into reverse, and the screen automatically displays the rearview video. Not only does it feature crystal clear, full-color video displayed on an in-dash, high-definition LCD screen, it also features colorful guidelines to help you gauge distances to objects in your path.

360 SurroundView Camera

Parallel parking no longer has to be intimidating with the available 360 SurroundView Camera from Volvo. When activated, the vehicle uses combined video from multiple external cameras to create a top-down birds-eye-view, making parking in the city a breeze.

Front Blind View Parking Camera

Another great innovation is an available pair of cameras built into the grille of the Volvo XC60. It can be easy to miss pedestrians or other traffic coming around tight corners, so Volvo installed a pair of cameras in the nose to help see at angles. With the push of a button, the dual images from the Front Blind View Parking Cameras display on the vehicle's in-dash LCD screen, making it easier than ever to look both ways before you cross the street.

Not only do Volvo models offer cutting-edge camera technology, but they also offer an array of high tech active and passive safety features. Just like the cameras mentioned above, you really have to see them all to appreciate how far car safety has come over the years. We have many new models, all with a wide range of available features, so visit our showroom or contact us to schedule a test drive and experience it for yourself. Stay safe out there!
