City Safety™
City Safety™ is a function for helping the driver to avoid a collision when driving inqueues, amongst other things, when changesin the traffic ahead, combined with a lapse inattention, could lead to an incident. The City Safety™ function is active at speeds under 50 km/h and it helps the driver by auto-matically braking the car in the event of immi-nent risk of collision with vehicles in front,should the driver not react in time by brakingand/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 everysituation. City Safety™ is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessaryintervention. City Safety™ must not be used as an excuse for the driver to change his/her driving style. Ifthe driver solely relies on City Safety™ to dothe braking, there will be a collision sooner orlater. The driver or passengers normally only notice City Safety™ if a situation arises where thecar is extremely close to being in a collision. If the car is also equipped with Collision Warning with Auto Brake (p. 212)* these twosystems complement each other.IMPORTANT
Maintenance and replacement of City Safety™ components must only be per-formed by a workshop - an authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended.
WARNING
City Safety™ does not engage in all driv- ing situations or traffic, weather or roadconditions. City Safety™ does not react to vehicles driving in a different direction from the car,to small vehicles and motorcycles or tohumans and animals. City Safety™ can prevent collision at a speed difference of less than 15 km/h - ata higher speed difference, it is only possi-ble to reduce collision speed. In order toobtain full brake function, the driver mustdepress the brake pedal. Never wait for City Safety™ to engage. The driver always bears responsibility formaintaining the proper distance andspeed.

City Safety™ - laser sensor
The City Safety™ function includes a sensor which transmits laser light (see illustration (p.205) for sensor location). Contact a qualifiedworkshop in the event of a fault or if the lasersensor needs servicing - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended. It is absolutelyessential to follow the prescribed instructionswhen handling the laser sensor. The following two labels relate to the laser sensor:
The upper label in the figure describes the laser beam's classification:• Laser radiation - Do not look into the laser beam with optical instruments -Class 1M laser product.
The lower label in the figure describes the laser beam's physical data: •
IEC 60825-1:1993 + A2:2001. Complies with FDA (U.S. Food Administration)standards for laser product design withthe exception of deviations in accordancewith "Laser Notice No. 50" from26 July 2001.
Radiation data for the laser sensorThe following table specifies the laser sen- sor's physical data.
Maximum pulse energy2.64
µJ
Maximum average output45 mW
Pulse duration33 ns
Divergence (horizontal x verti- cal)28° × 12°
WARNING
If any of these instructions are not followed then there is a risk of eye injury!
• Never look into the laser sensor (which emits spreading invisible laser radia-tion) at a distance of 100 mm or closerwith magnifying optics such as a mag-nifying glass, microscope, lens or simi-lar optical instruments.
• Testing, repair, removal, adjustmentand/or replacement of the laser sen-sor's spare parts must only be carriedout by a qualified workshop - we rec-ommend an authorised Volvo work-shop.
• To avoid exposure to harmful radia-tion, do not carry out any readjust-ments or maintenance other thanthose specified here.
• The repairer must follow speciallydrawn up workshop information for thelaser sensor.
• Do not remove the laser sensor (thisincludes removing the lenses). Aremoved laser sensor does not fulfillaser class 3B as per standard IEC60825-1. Laser class 3B is not eye-safe and therefore entails a risk ofinjury.
• The laser sensor's connector must beunplugged before removal from thewindscreen.

Collision warning system*
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid toassist the driver when there is a risk of collid-ing with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle infront that are stationary or moving in the samedirection. Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes- trian Detection is activated in situations wherethe driver should have started braking earlier,which is why it cannot help the driver in everysituation. Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes- trian Detection is designed to be activated aslate as possible in order to avoid unnecessaryintervention. Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes- trian Detection may prevent a collision orreduce the collision speed. Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes- trian Detection must not be used as anexcuse for the driver to change his/her drivingstyle. If the driver solely relies on CollisionWarning with Auto Brake to do the braking,there might be a risk of a collision sooner orlater.
Two system levelsThe Collision Warning with Auto Brake &Pedestrian Detection function is available in two variants, depending on how the car isequipped: Level 1 The driver is merely warned
14
of occurring
obstacles by means of visual and acoustic signals - no automatic braking intervenes, thedriver must himself brake. Level 2 The driver is warned of occurring obstacles by means of visual and acoustic signals - thecar is braked automatically if the driver him-self does not act within a reasonable time.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of components included in Collision Warning with Auto Brake &Pedestrian Detection must only be carriedout in a workshop - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended.

Collision warning system* - general limitations
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid toassist the driver when there is a risk of collid-ing with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle infront that are stationary or moving in the samedirection. The function has certain limitations - for example, it is not active until approx. 4 km/h.. The collision warning system's visual warning signal (see (1) in the illustration (p. 213)) maybe difficult to notice in the event of strongsunlight, reflections, when sunglasses arebeing worn or if the driver is not lookingstraight ahead. The warning sound shouldtherefore always be activated. On slippery road surfaces the braking dis- tance is extended, which may reduce thecapacity to avoid a collision. In such situa-tions the ABS and DSTC systems will providebest possible braking force with maintainedstability.

The PAP system's parameters may need to be updated when changing to anotherapproved wheel rim size involving changedtyre circumference. Consult a workshop -an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-mended.
Maintenance
The PAP sensors are located in the bumpers 25
-
6 front and 4 rear.
For the PAP function to work correctly, its sensors must be cleaned regularly with waterand car shampoo - these are the same sen-sors that are used by parking assistance, seePark assist syst* - cleaning the sensors (p.243).

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - symbols and messages
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed. The combined instrument panel can show dif- ferent combinations of symbols and text withvarying content - sometimes with a self-explanatory piece of advice on appropriateaction. If a message shows that PAP is disengaged, contact with an authorised Volvo workshop isrecommended.

BLIS* (Blind Spot Information System)
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is a function designed for providing support forthe driver when driving in dense traffic onroads with several lanes in the same direction. BLIS is a driver's aid intended to provide a warning about:
• vehicles in the car's blind spot
• rapidly approaching vehicles in the left and right-hand lanes closest to the car.
The BLIS function CTA (p. 255) (Cross Traffic Alert) is a driver's aid intended to provide awarning about:
• crossing traffic when the car is reversed.
WARNING
BLIS is a supplementary aid and does not work in all situations. BLIS is no substitute for a safe driving style and the use of rearview and door mir-rors. BLIS can never replace the driver's responsibility and attention - it is alwaysthe driver's responsibility to change lanesin a safe manner.
Overview

CTA is only active during reversing and is activated automatically when the gearbox'sreverse position is selected. •If CTA detects something approaching from the side, an acoustic warning signalsounds. The signal comes from either theleft or the right-hand speaker, dependingon the direction from which the object isapproaching.
• CTA also warns by illuminating the BLISlamps.
• An additional warning is provided in theform of an illuminated icon in the displayscreen's PAS graphics (p. 240).
LimitationsCTA does not perform optimally in all situa- tions, but has a certain limitation - for exam-ple, the CTA sensors cannot "see" throughother parked vehicles or obstructing objects. Here are some examples of when CTA's "field of vision" may be limited from the beginningand approaching vehicles cannot therefore bedetected until they are very close:
The car is parked deep inside a parking slot.
Blind CTA sector.
Sector where CTA can detect/"see".
In an angled parking slot CTA can be completely "blind" on one side.
However, when the driver is slowly reversing the car, the angle is changed in relation to the vehicle/object that is blocking, at which theblind sector rapidly decreases. Examples of further limitations:
• Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can reduce functionality and make it impossi-ble to provide warnings. CTA cannotdetect hazards if it is covered.
• Do not affix any objects, tape or labels inthe area of the sensors.
• CTA is deactivated when a trailer is con-nected to the car’s electrical system.
IMPORTANT
Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions' components or repainting the bumpersmust only be performed by a workshop -an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-mended.

All Wheel Drive - AWD*
The best traction possible is achieved with all- wheel drive.
All Wheel Drive is always available
All Wheel Drive (All Wheel Drive) means that the car is driving all four wheels at the sametime. The power is automatically distributed between the front and rear wheels. An elec-tronically controlled clutch system distributesthe power to the wheels that have the bestgrip on the current road surface. This pro-vides the best traction and prevents wheelspin. Under normal driving conditions, themajority of power is transmitted to the frontwheels. All Wheel Drive improves driving safety in rain, snow and icy conditions.
Foot brake
The foot brake is used to reduce the car's speed while driving. The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If one brake circuit is damaged then this willmean that the brakes engage at a deeperlevel and higher pedal pressure is needed toproduce the normal braking effect. The driver's brake pedal pressure is assisted by a brake servo.
WARNING
The brake servo only works when the engine is running.
If the brake is used when the engine is switched off then the pedal will feel stiff and ahigher pedal pressure must be used to brakethe car. In very hilly terrain or when driving with a heavy load the brakes can be relieved byusing engine braking. Engine braking is mostefficiently used if the same gear is useddownhill as up. For more general information on heavy loads on the car, see Engine oil - adverse drivingconditions (p. 395).
Cleaning the brake discsCoatings of dirt and water on the brake discsmay result in delayed brake function. Withwet road surfaces, prior to long-stay parking and after the car has been washed, it isadvisable to carry out cleaning by brakinggently for a short period while driving.
MaintenanceTo keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-ble, follow the Volvo service intervals asspecified in the Service and Warranty Book-let.
IMPORTANT
The wear on the brake system's compo- nents must be checked regularly. Contact a workshop for information about the procedure or engage a workshop tocarry out the inspection - an authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended.
