Volvo has upgraded the S80 to contemporary luxury car standards by adding Bluetooth, an amazing Dynaudio sound system, and active headlights that help to see around curves. Bigger news is the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS). BLIS warns the driver when other vehicles are located in adjacent lanes and are hidden within the S80’s blind spots. Volvo also offers Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Collision Warning and Brake Support. When S80s equipped with ACC approach other vehicles too fast, aural and visual warnings prompt the driver to brake. The brakes are also ready to deliver instant response when the driver depresses the pedal. Volvo has also updated its Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) and Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) for 2007.
