WARNING
Eye injury may occur if any of the following
points are not followed:
•It is essential that all pertinent instruc-
tions be followed when handling laser
instruments. Testing, repairing, remov-
ing, adjusting and/or replacing any
components in the laser sensor may
only be done by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
•Do not remove the laser sensor (includ-
ing removal of the lenses). A laser sen-
sor that has been removed belongs to
laser class 3B according to standard
IEC 60825-1. Devices in laser class 3B
present a risk of injury to the eyes.
•The laser sensor’s connector must be
disconnected before the sensor is
removed from the windshield.
•The laser sensor must be mounted in
place on the windshield before con-
necting the sensor’s connector.
•Do not view the laser sensor (which
emits spreading, invisible laser beams)
with optical instruments from a distance
of less than 4 inches (100 mm).

Collision Warning. If
Collision Warning is on, the system will perform
a self-test each time the engine is started by
briefly illuminating the warning light. See page
189 for a description of the menu system.
When the engine is switched on, the Collision
Warning setting that was being used when it
was switched off will be the default setting.
NOTE
The auto-brake and pedestrian detection
features are always on, even if the audible
and visual warning signals have been deac-
tivated.

Collision Warning
Warning distance.
The warning distance determines the level of
sensitivity used by the system. The warning
distance
Long provides an earlier warning.
Begin by using Long and if the system gives
too many warnings, try changing to Normal.
WARNING
•The setting Short should only be used
in situations where traffic is light and
moving at low speeds.
•Collision Warning alerts the driver to the
risk of a collision but this function can-
not reduce the driver’s reaction time.
•For Collision Warning to be as effective
as possible, it is recommended that Dis-
tance Alert be set to 4 or 5, see
page 149.
NOTE
•When Adaptive Cruise Control is used,
the warning light and signal will be used
by that function, even if the warnings
provided by Collision Warning have
been deactivated by the driver.
•In situations where traffic is moving at
considerably different speeds, or if the
vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, warn-
ings may be considered to be late, even
if the setting
Long has been selected.
Checking settingsThe current Collision Warning settings can be
checked by pressing MY CAR on the center
console control panel and going to Settings
Car settingsDriver support systems
Collision Warning.
Limitations
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con-
trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is
not looking straight ahead may make the visual
warning signal in the windshield difficult to see.
For this reason, always activate the audible
warning signal.
Slippery driving conditions increase braking
distance, which can reduce the system's

body and the person must be at least
32 in. (80 cm) tall.
•The system cannot detect a pedestrian
carrying a large object.
•The camera's capacity to see a pedestrian
at dawn or dusk is limited, much as it is for
the human eye.
•The camera's function is deactivated and
will not detect a pedestrian in darkness or
in tunnels, even if there is street lighting in
the area.
WARNING
•Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake
and Pedestrian Detection is designed to
be a supplementary driving aid. It is not,
however, intended to replace the driv-
er's attention and judgement. The driver
is always responsible for operating the
vehicle in a safe manner.
•The system cannot detect all pedes-
trians in all situations, such as in dark-
ness/at night and cannot detect parti-
ally hidden pedestrians, people who are
less than approx. 32 in. (80 cm) tall, or
people wearing clothing that obscures
the contours of their bodies.
Fault tracing and actions
If the message Windscreen Sensors
blocked is displayed, this means that the cam-
era is obscured and cannot detect pedestrians,
vehicles or road marker lines in front of the
vehicle.
This, in turn, means that Collision Warning with
Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection,
Lane Departure Warning, and Driver Alert Con-
trol will not have full functionality.
The table lists possible causes for this mes-
sage being displayed, and suitable actions.

Activating DACPress MY CAR in the center instrument panel
and go to Car settings
Driver Alert and
select
On. See page 189 for more information
on the menu system.
The function is activated when the
vehicle exceeds a speed of 40 mph
(65 km/h). The display will show level
markings of 1–5 bars, where a low
number of bars indicates erratic driving. A high
number of bars indicates stable driving.
If the vehicle is being driven erratically, the
driver will be alerted by an audible signal and
the message Driver Alert, Time for a break is
displayed. The warning will be repeated after a
short time if the driving pattern remains the
same.
WARNING
•An alert should be taken seriously since
it is sometimes difficult for a driver to
realize that he/she is fatigued.
•In the event of a warning or if the driver
feels fatigued, stop as soon as possible
in a safe place and rest.
