Concern: In the event of a motor vehicle crash, and
the ensuing side impact airbag deployment, a small child could be placed at an increased risk of spinal injury.
To that end, over the
ensuing years Volvo cars were the first to use laminated glass, three - point safety belts, rear - facing child safety seats, crumple zones front and rear, safety door locks, inertial reel safety belts, an
impact absorbing steering column, a roll - over protection system, roll stability control, inflatable
side - curtain
airbags, collision warning, lane departure warning, pedestrian protection with auto brake, and cross traffic alerts.
