Active high beam*
The Active High Beam function detects the headlamp beams of oncoming traffic or therear lights of vehicles in front, and switchesthe lighting from main beam to dipped beam.Xenon headlamps only dim the portion of thelight beam that points directly to the vehicle.The lighting returns to main beam when theincoming light has stopped.
Active high beam - AHBActive high beam (Active High Beam - AHB) isa function which uses a camera sensor at thetop edge of the windscreen to detect theheadlamp beams of oncoming traffic or therear lights of vehicles in front, and thenswitches from main beam to dipped beam.The function can also take streetlights intoaccount. Car with halogen headlamps The lighting returns to main beam about a second after the camera sensor no longerdetects the headlamp beams from oncomingtraffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front. Car with Xenon headlamps Unlike what happens during conventional dimming, the light beam continues with mainbeam on both sides of oncoming traffic orvehicles ahead - only the part of the light

Engine and passenger compartment heater*
Preconditioning prepares the car's heater, engine and passenger compartment beforedeparture so that both wear and energyneeds during the journey are reduced. The heater can be started directly (p. 130) or with a timer (p. 130). The heater cannot start if the outside tem- perature exceeds 15 °C. At –5 °C or lower themaximum running time of the heater is 50minutes.
WARNING
Do not use the fuel-driven heater indoors. Exhaust gases are secreted.
NOTE
When the fuel-driven auxiliary heater is active there may be smoke from the right-hand wheel housing, which is perfectlynormal.
Refuelling
Warning label on fuel filler flap.
WARNING
Fuel which spills out could be ignited. Switch off the fuel-driven auxiliary heaterbefore starting to refuel. Check in the combined instrument panel that the heater is switched off. The heatsymbol is shown when it is operating.
Parking on a hillIf the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of the car should point downhill to ensure thatthere is a supply of fuel to the fuel-drivenheater.
Battery and fuelIf the battery has insufficient charge or thefuel level is too low, the heater will beswitched off automatically and a message appears on the information display. Acknowl-edge the message by pressing the indicatorstalk (p. 100)
OK button once.
IMPORTANT
Repeated use of the heater combined with short journeys leads to the battery dis-charging and consequential starting prob-lems. The car should be driven for the same time as the heater is used to ensure that thecar's battery is recharged adequately toreplace the energy consumed by theheater when it is used on a regular basis.The heater is used for a maximum of 50minutes each time.

ACC field of vision.
Sometimes the radar sensor is late at detecting vehicles at close distances, e.g.a vehicle that drives in between the carand vehicles in front.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles not driving in the centre of thelane can remain undetected.
In bends the radar sensor may detect the wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehiclefrom view.
WARNING
The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and inter-vene when the adaptive cruise control isnot maintaining a suitable speed or suita-ble distance. The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. Read all the sections about the adaptive cruise control in the owner's manual inorder to learn about its limitations, ofwhich the driver should be aware before itis used. The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance andspeed, even when the adaptive cruise con-trol is being used.
WARNING
Accessories or other objects such as auxil- iary lamps must not be fitted in front of thegrille.
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must inter-vene if the system does not detect a vehi-cle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for smallvehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-cles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationaryvehicles and objects. Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, atjunctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lotof water or slush on the road, in heavyrain/snow, in poor visibility, on windingroads or on slip roads.
IMPORTANT
In the event of visible damage to the car's grille, or if you suspect that the radar sen-sor may be damaged:
• Contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
The function may completely or partially disappear - or malfunction - if the grille,the radar sensor or its bracket is damagedor has loosened.

City Safety™ - limitations
The sensor in City Safety™ is designed to detect cars and other large vehicles in front ofthe car irrespective of whether it is day ornight. However, the function has a number oflimitations. However, the sensor has limitations and has poorer functionality - or none at all - in e.g.heavy snowfall or rain, dense fog, duststorms or white-out situations. Mist, dirt, iceor snow on the windscreen may disrupt thefunction. Low-hanging objects, e.g. a flag/pennant for projecting load, or accessories such as auxili-ary lamps and bull bars that are higher thanthe bonnet limit the function. The laser beam from the sensor in City Safety™ measures how the light is reflected.The sensor cannot detect objects with lowreflection capacity. The rear sections of thevehicle generally reflect the light sufficientlythanks to the number plate and rear lightreflectors. On slippery road surfaces the braking dis- tance is extended, which may reduce thecapacity of City Safety™ to avoid a collision.In such situations the ABS and DSTC sys-tems will provide best possible braking forcewith maintained stability. When your own car is reversing, City Safety™ is temporarily deactivated. City Safety™ is not activated at low speeds -under 4 km/h, which is why the system doesnot intervene in situations where a vehicle infront is being approached very slowly, e.g.when parking. Driver commands are always prioritised, which is why City Safety™ does not intervenein situations where the driver is steering oraccelerating in a clear manner, even if a colli-sion is unavoidable. When City Safety™ has prevented a collision with a stationary object the car remains sta-tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If thecar is braked for a vehicle in front that is mov-ing, then speed is reduced to the same speedas that maintained by the vehicle in front. On a car with manual gearbox the engine stops when City Safety™ has stopped thecar, unless the driver manages to depress theclutch pedal beforehand.
NOTE
•
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the laser sensor free from ice, snowand dirt (see the illustration for sensorlocation (p. 205)).
• Do not affix or mount anything on thewindscreen in front of the laser sensor
• Remove ice and snow from the bonnet- snow and ice must not exceed aheight of 5 cm.

Park assist syst* - forward
Parking assistance is used as an aid to park- ing. An acoustic signal as well as symbols onthe centre console's display screen indicatethe distance to the detected obstacle. The parking assistance system is automati- cally activated when the engine is started -the switch's On/Off lamp is illuminated. Ifparking assistance is switched off with thebutton, the lamp goes out.
The distance covered in front of the car is about 0.8 metres. The acoustic signal forobstacles in front comes from one of the frontloudspeakers. Front park assist is active up to approx. 10 km/h. The lamp in the button isilluminated in order to indicate that the sys-tem is activated. When the speed is below10 km/h the system is reactivated.
NOTE
Front parking assistance is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or
P
mode is selected in a car with an auto-matic gearbox.
IMPORTANT
When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Remember that these must not obscure the sensors -the auxiliary lamps may then be perceivedas an obstacle.

Fording
Fording means that the car is driven through a water-covered roadway. Fording must be car-ried out with great caution. The car can be driven through water at a maximum depth of 25 cm at a maximumspeed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should beexercised when passing through flowingwater. During driving in water, maintain a low speed and do not stop the car. When the water hasbeen passed, depress the brake pedal lightlyand check that full brake function is achieved.Water and mud for example can make thebrake linings wet resulting in delayed brakefunction. •Clean the electric contacts of the electric engine block heater and trailer couplingafter driving in water and mud.
• Do not let the car stand with water overthe sills for any long period of time - thiscould cause electrical malfunctions.IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter. In depths greater than 25 cm, water could enter the transmission. This reduces thelubricating ability of the oils and shortensthe service life of these systems. In the event of the engine stalling in water, do not try restart - tow the car from thewater to a workshop - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended. Risk of enginebreakdown.
