City Safety™
04
184* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
City Safety™ is a function for helping the driver
to avoid a collision when driving in queues,
amongst other things, when changes in the
traffic ahead, combined with a lapse in atten-
tion, could lead to an incident.
The function is active at speeds of up to
30 km/h and it helps the driver by automatically
braking the car in the event of imminent risk of
collision with vehicles in front, should the driver
not react in time by braking and/or steering
away.
City Safety™ is activated in situations where
the driver should have started braking earlier,
which is why it cannot help the driver in every
situation.
City Safety™ is designed to be activated as
late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary
intervention.
City Safety™ must not be used as an excuse
for the driver to change his/her driving style. If
the driver solely relies on City Safety™ to do
the braking, there will be a collision sooner or
later.
The driver or passengers normally only notice
City Safety™ if a situation arises where the car
is extremely close to being in a collision.If the car is also equipped with a Collision
Warning function with Auto Brake*, these two
systems complement each other. For more
information on Collision Warning function with
Auto Brake, see page 188.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance and replacement of City
Safety™ components must only be per-
formed by a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
WARNING
City Safety™ does not engage in all driving
situations or traffic, weather or road condi-
tions.
City Safety™ does not react to vehicles
driving in a different direction from the car,
to small vehicles, motorcycles and bicycles
or to humans and animals.
City Safety™ can prevent collision at a
speed difference of less than 15 km/h - at a
higher speed difference, it is only possible
to reduce collision speed. In order to obtain
full brake function, the driver must depress
the brake pedal.
Never wait for City Safety™ to engage. The
driver always bears responsibility for main-
taining the proper distance and speed.
Function
Laser sensor transmitter and receiver window.
City Safety™ detects the traffic in front of the
car with a laser sensor fitted in the top edge of
the windscreen. If there is an imminent risk of
collision, City Safety™ will automatically brake
the car, which may be experienced as sudden
braking.
If the speed difference is 4-15 km/h in relation
to the vehicle in front then City Safety™ can
completely prevent a collision.
City Safety™ activates a short, sharp braking
and stops the car in normal circumstances, just
behind the vehicle in front. For most drivers this
is well outside normal driving style and may be
experienced as being uncomfortable.

Collision Warning & Pedestrian Detection with Auto Brake*
04
188* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
Collision Warning and Pedestrian Detection
with Auto Brake (Collision Warning and
Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake) is
designed to assist the driver when there is a
risk of colliding with a pedestrian or vehicle in
front that is stationary or moving in the same
direction.
The collision warning system has the following
three functions.
•Collision Warning – Warns the driver of a
potentially imminent collision.
•Brake Support – Assists the driver to
brake effectively in a critical situation.
•Auto Brake - Brakes the car automatically
in the event of an imminent risk of collision
with a pedestrian or vehicle in front, if the
driver does not himself/herself react in time
by braking and/or steering away. The Auto
Brake function can prevent a collision or
reduce collision speed.
The collision warning system is activated in sit-
uations where the driver should have started
braking a lot earlier, which is why the function
cannot help the driver in every situation.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is designed
to be activated as late as possible in order to
avoid unnecessary intervention.The collision warning system must not be used
as an excuse for the driver to change his/her
driving style. If the driver solely relies on Colli-
sion Warning with Auto Brake to do the brak-
ing, there will be a collision sooner or later.
The collision warning system and City
Safety™ complement each other. For more
information on City Safety™, see page 184.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of collision warning system
components must only be performed at a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended.
WARNING
No automatic system can guarantee
100 % correct function in all situations.
Therefore, never try out the Auto brake sys-
tem by driving towards people - this may
cause serious injuries or risk death.
WARNING
The collision warning system does not
engage in all driving situations or traffic,
weather or road conditions. The collision
warning system does not react to vehicles
driving in another direction to the car or to
animals.
Warning only activated in the event of a high
risk for collision. The Function section and
the section after advise about limitations of
which the driver should be aware before
using Collision Warning with Auto Brake.
Warnings and brake interventions for
pedestrians are switched off at vehicle
speeds exceeding 80 km/h.
Warnings and brake interventions for
pedestrians do not work in darkness and
tunnels - not even when streetlights are lit.
The auto-brake function can prevent a col-
lision or reduce collision speed. To ensure
full brake performance, the driver should
always depress the brake pedal - even when
the car auto-brakes.
Never wait for a collision warning. The driver
is always responsible that the correct dis-
tance and speed are maintained - even
when the collision warning system with
auto-brake is used.

Activating/deactivating warning signalsThe warning lamp is activated automatically
when the engine is started if the system is
switched on.
The warning sound can be activated/deacti-
vated separately using the options for
On orOff in the menu system MY CAR under
Settings
Car settingsDriver support
systems
Warning sound if risk of
collision.
Set warning distanceThe warning distance regulates the distance at
which the visual and acoustic warnings are
deployed. Select one of the options from
Long, Normal or Short in the menu system
MY CAR under Settings
Car settings
Driver support systemsCollision
Warning
Warning distance.
The warning distance determines the system's
sensitivity. Warning distance
Long provides an
earlier warning. First test with Long and if this
setting produces too many warnings, which
could be perceived as irritating in certain sit-
uations, then change to warning distance
Normal.
Only use warning distance
Short in excep-
tional cases, e.g. for dynamic driving.
NOTE
When the adaptive cruise control is in use
the warning lamp and warning sound will be
used by the cruise control even if the colli-
sion warning system is switched off.
The collision warning system warns the
driver in the event of a risk of a collision, but
the function cannot shorten driver reaction
time.
In order for the collision warning system to
be effective, always drive with the Distance
Alert set at time interval 4 – 5. see
page 181.
NOTE
Even if the warning distance has been set toLong then in certain situations warnings
could be perceived as being late. E.g. in the
event of large differences in speed or if vehi-
cles in front brake heavily.
Checking settingsThe settings required can be controlled on the
centre console display screen. Search with the
menu system MY CAR under Settings
Car
settings
Driver support systems
Collision Warning, see page 142.
Limitations
The collision warning system is active from and
including approx. 4 km/h.
The visual warning signal may be difficult to
notice in the event of strong sunlight, reflec-
tions, when sunglasses are being worn or if the
driver is not looking straight ahead. The warn-
ing sound should therefore always be acti-
vated.
On slippery road surfaces the braking distance
is extended, which may reduce the capacity to
avoid a collision. In such situations the ABS
and DSTC systems will provide best possible
braking force with maintained stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal can be temporarily
disengaged in the event of high passenger
compartment temperature caused by
strong sunlight for example. If this occurs
then the warning sound is activated even if
it is deactivated in the menu system.
•Warnings may not appear if the dis-
tance to the vehicle in front is small or if
steering wheel and pedal movements
are large, e.g. a very active driving style.
