Personal Security -- the PCC
Improved personal security is also a high priority for many buyers, and the Personal Car Communicator (PCC) is a world first from Volvo Cars that will help address their concerns.
The new PCC is an advanced pocket-sized control module that both sends and received information from the car. In its personal security role, the PCC provides information which could be crucial to the security of the car owner. By simply pressing a button, the car owner can acquire information within a few seconds:
Whether the car is locked or unlocked
Whether the alarm is activated or not
Whether there is someone in the car (which is determined using a highly sensitive heartbeat sensor and an advanced calculation process)
The information is accessible and relevant as long as the distance between the PCC and the car is within approximately 300 feet. The most recent information is stored in the module so that at any time and in any place a check can be made to see if the car was actually locked when it was parked.
“Personal security is one of the cornerstones of the Volvo safety profile,” says Volvo's Güllsdorf. “It is about having your car left undisturbed and avoiding situations that could entail personal risk.”
Please note the PCC may not be available in some markets.
