City Safety™
04
186
When City Safety™ has prevented a collision
with a stationary object the car remains sta-
tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If the car
is braked for a vehicle in front that is moving,
then speed is reduced to the same speed as
that maintained by the vehicle in front.
On a car with manual gearbox the engine stops
when City Safety™ has stopped the car, unless
the driver manages to depress the clutch pedal
beforehand.
NOTE
•Keep the windscreen surface in front of
the laser sensor free from ice, snow and
dirt (see the illustration for sensor loca-
tion, page 184).
•Do not affix or mount anything on the
windscreen in front of the laser sensor
•Remove ice and snow from the bonnet
- snow and ice must not exceed a height
of 5 cm.
Fault tracing and action
If the message Windscreen Sensors
blocked is shown on the instrument panel dis-
play, it indicates that the laser sensor is
blocked and cannot detect vehicles in front of
the car. This means that City Safety™ is not
operational.The
Windscreen Sensors blocked message
is not shown for all situations in which the laser
sensor is blocked. The driver must therefore be
diligent about keeping the windscreen and
area in front of the laser sensor clean.
The following table presents possible causes
for the message being shown, along with sug-
gestions for appropriate action.
CauseAction
The windscreen sur-
face in front of the
laser sensor is dirty
or covered with ice
or snow.Clean the wind-
screen surface in
front of the sensor
from dirt, ice and
snow.
The laser sensor
field of vision is
blocked.Remove the block-
ing object.
IMPORTANT
If there are cracks, scratches or stone chips
in the windscreen in front of either of the
laser sensor's "windows" and they cover a
surface of approx. 0.5 x 3.0 mm (or larger),
then a workshop must be contacted for
repair or replacement of the windscreen
(see the illustration for sensor location, page
184) - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
Failure to take action may result in reduced
performance for City Safety™.
To avoid the risk of reducing City Safety™
performance the following also applies:
•The same type or a Volvo-approved
windscreen must be fitted during
replacement
•The same type or Volvo-approved
windscreen wipers must be fitted during
replacement.
Laser sensor
The City Safety™ function includes a sensor
which transmits laser light. Contact a qualified
workshop in the event of a fault or if the laser
sensor needs servicing - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.

WARNING
Never look into the laser sensor (which
emits spreading invisible laser radiation) at
a distance of 100 mm or closer with magni-
fying optics such as a magnifying glass,
microscope, lens or similar optical instru-
ments - this would involve a risk of eye injury
(the illustration on page 184 shows sensor
location).
For more information on the laser sensor, see
page 10.
Symbols and messages in the display
In conjunction with automatic braking by the
City Safety™ system, one or more symbols
may illuminate on the instrument panel and a
message may appear on its display.A text message can be acknowledged by
briefly pressing the READ button on the direc-
tion indicator stalk.

Collision Warning & Pedestrian Detection with Auto Brake*
04
192* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Detection of pedestrians (Pedestrian
detection)
Optimal examples of what the system regards as
pedestrians with clear body contours.
Optimal performance of the system requires
that the system function that detects pedes-
trians receives as unambiguous information as
possible about the contours of the body - this
implies the opportunity to identify the head,
arms, shoulders, legs, upper and lower body
combined with a normal human pattern of
movement.
If large parts of the body are not visible to the
camera then the system cannot detect a
pedestrian.
•In order for a pedestrian to be detected he/
she must appear full-length and have a
height of at least 80 cm.
•The system cannot detect a pedestrian
carrying larger items.
•The camera sensor's ability to see pedes-
trians at dusk and dawn is limited - just like
the human eye.
•The camera sensor's capacity to detect
pedestrians is deactivated when driving in
darkness and tunnels - even when street-
lights are lit.
WARNING
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is an
assistance tool.
It cannot detect all pedestrians in all situa-
tions and it cannot see e.g. partially
obscured pedestrians, shorter people or
children (below 80 cm) or people in clothing
that hides the contours of the body.
•The driver is always responsible that the
vehicle is driven properly and with a
safety distance adapted to the speed.
Fault tracing and action
If the display shows the message Windscreen
Sensors blocked then this means that the
camera sensor is blocked and cannot detectpedestrians, vehicles or road markings in front
of the car.
In turn this means that the Collision Warning
with Auto Brake, Lane Departure Warning and
Driver Alert Control functions are not operating
with full functionality.
The following table presents possible causes
for a message being shown along with the
appropriate action.
CauseAction
The windscreen sur-
face in front of the
camera is dirty or
covered with ice or
snow.Clean the wind-
screen surface in
front of the camera
from dirt, ice and
snow.
Thick fog, heavy rain
or snow means that
the camera does not
work sufficiently
well.No action. At times
the camera does not
work during heavy
rain or snowfall.
