All-wheel drive – AWD*
03
134* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
All Wheel Drive is always available
All Wheel Drive means that the car is driving all
four wheels at the same time.
The power is automatically distributed
between the front and rear wheels. An elec-
tronically controlled clutch system distributes
the power to the wheels that have the best grip
on the current road surface. This provides the
best traction and prevents wheel spin. Under
normal driving conditions, the majority of
power is transmitted to the front wheels.
All Wheel Drive improves driving safety in rain,
snow and icy conditions.

display text
(---) km/h changes to show
the selected speed, e.g. 100 km/h, without
brackets.
NOTE
Cruise control cannot be engaged at
speeds below 30 km/h.
Changing the speedTo change the stored speed:
•Press briefly on the steering wheel button,
or - most recent presses are stored
in memory.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the cruise control setting - the car returns
to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
NOTE
If any of the Cruise Control buttons are held
down for more than approx. 1 minute, it is
blocked and disabled. To be able to reacti-
vate Cruise Control, the car must be stop-
ped and the engine restarted.

•the foot brake is used
•speed falls below approx. 30 km/h
•the clutch pedal is depressed
•the gear selector is moved to neutral posi-
tion (automatic gearbox)
•the driver maintains a speed higher than
the set speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then regulate the speed.

158* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Keypad without Speed limiter*To temporarily disengage Cruise control and
set it in standby mode:
•Press the steering wheel button .
Standby mode due to driver interventionCruise control is temporarily disengaged and
set in standby mode if:
•the foot brake is used
•the clutch pedal is depressed for longer
than 1 minute6
•the gear selector is moved to N position
(automatic gearbox)
•the driver maintains a speed higher than
the set speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then regulate the speed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the cruise control setting - the car returns
to the last stored speed when the accelerator
pedal is released.
Automatic standby modeThe Adaptive cruise control is dependent on
other systems, e.g.. DSTC (see page 146). Ifany of these systems stop working then cruise
control is automatically deactivated.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal
will sound and the message
Cruise control
Cancelled is shown in the display. The driver
must then intervene and adapt the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
•engine speed is too low/high
•speed falls below 30 km/h7
•wheels lose traction
•brake temperature is high
•the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet
snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).
Resume set speedCruise control in standby mode is re-activated
with one press on the steering wheel button
- the speed is then set to the last stored
speed.
NOTE
A significant increase in speed may arise

Overtaking another vehicleWhen the car is following another vehicle and
the driver indicates an imminent overtake with
the direction indicator
8, the Cruise control
helps to briefly accelerate the car towards the
vehicle in front.
The function is active at speeds
above 70 km/h.
WARNING
Be aware that this function can be activated
in more situations other than during over-
taking, e.g. when a direction indicator is
used to indicate a change of lane or exit to
another road - the car will then accelerate
briefly.

City Safety™
04
170
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 168).
•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
168) - 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:
•Before replacing a windscreen, contact
an authorised Volvo workshop to verify
that the correct windscreen is ordered
and fitted. Using the wrong windscreen
may result in the City Safety function
failing to operate or operating incor-
rectly.
•The same type or Volvo-approved
windscreen wipers must be fitted during
replacement.

Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection*
04
178* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is tempo-
rarily deactivated with reverse gear engaged.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is not acti-
vated at low speeds - under 4 km/h, which is
why the system does not intervene in situations
where the car is approaching a vehicle in front
very slowly, e.g. when parking.
In situations where the driver demonstrates
active, aware driving behaviour, a collision
warning may be postponed slightly in order to
keep unnecessary warnings to a minimum.
When Auto Brake 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 Auto Brake has stopped the car, unless
the driver manages to depress the clutch pedal
beforehand.
Camera sensor limitationsThe car’s camera sensor is also used - as well
as by Collision Warning with Auto Brake - by
the functions:
•Automatic main/dipped beam dimming -
see page 88
•Road sign information - see page 148
•Driver Alert Control – see page 182
•Lane Departure Warning – see page 185.
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the
camera sensor clean from ice, snow, mist
and dirt.
Do not attach or fit anything to the wind-
screen in front of the camera sensor, as this
could reduce or prevent the function of one
or more camera-dependent systems.
The camera sensors have limitations similar to
the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in dark-
ness, heavy snowfall or rain and in thick fog for
example. Under such conditions the functions
of camera-dependent systems could be sig-
nificantly reduced or temporarily disengaged.
Strong oncoming light, reflections in the car-
riageway, snow or ice on the road surface, dirty
road surfaces or unclear lane markings could
also significantly reduce camera sensor func-
tion when it is used to scan the carriageway
and detect pedestrians and other vehicles.
The field of vision of the camera sensor is lim-
ited, which is why pedestrians and vehicles
cannot be detected in some situations, or they
are detected later than anticipated.
During very high temperatures the camera is
temporarily switched off for about 15 minutesafter the engine is started in order to protect
camera functionality.
Fault tracing and action
If the display shows the message Windscreen
Sensors blocked then this means that the
camera sensor is blocked and cannot detect
pedestrians, vehicles or road markings in front
of the car.
At the same time, this means that - besides
Collision Warning with Auto Brake - the Auto-
matic main/dipped beam dimming, Road sign
information, Driver Alert Control and Lane
Departure Warning functions will not have full
functionality either.
The following table presents possible causes
for a message being shown along with the
appropriate action.
