If the car needs to be braked more heavily than cruise control capacity and the driverdoes not brake, then cruise control uses thewarning lamp and warning sound from theCollision warning system (p. 212) in order toalert the driver that immediate intervention isrequired.
NOTE
The warning lamp may be difficult to see in strong sunlight or when wearing sun-glasses.
WARNING
Cruise Control warns only of vehicles which the radar sensor has detected.Hence the warning may not be given, or itmay be given with a certain delay. Do notwait for a warning without braking when sorequired.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadBear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving onlevel road surfaces. It may have difficulty inkeeping the correct distance from the vehicleahead when driving on steep downhill slopes,with a heavy load or with a trailer - in whichcase, be extra attentive and ready to slowdown.

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.

Adaptive cruise control* - symbols and messages
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an even speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead. Sometimes the adaptive cruisecontrol may display a symbol and/or text
message. Here are several examples - followthe recommendation given if appropriate:
SymbolMessageSpecification
The symbol is GREENThe car maintains the stored speed.
The symbol is WHITEAdaptive cruise control is set to standby mode.
Standard cruise control is selected manually.
DSTC Normal to enable CruiseThe adaptive cruise control cannot be activated until the Stability and Traction Control system (DSTC) (p. 175) has been set in Normal mode.
Cruise control Cancel- ledThe adaptive cruise control has been deactivated - the driver has to regulate the speed himself.
Cruise control Unavail- ableThe adaptive cruise control cannot be activated. This could be due to:
• brake temperature is high
• the radar sensor is blocked by e.g. wet snow or rain.
Radar blocked See manualThe adaptive cruise control is temporarily disengaged.
• The radar sensor is blocked and cannot detect other vehicles. For example, in the event of heavy rain or if slush has collected in front of the radar sensor.
The driver can then choose to switch to (p. 196) normal Cruise control (CC) - a text message provides information on appropriate alternatives. Read about radar sensor limitations (p. 197).

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™ - 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.

Collision warning system* - function
"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.
Function overview 15
.
Audio-visual warning signal in the event of a collision risk.
Radar sensor 16
Camera sensor
Collision Warning with Auto Brake executes three steps in the following order: 1. Collision warning
2. Brake support 16 3.
Auto Brake 16
The collision warning system and City Safety™ (p. 205) complement each other.
1 - Collision warningThe driver is first warned of a potentiallyimminent collision. The collision warning system detects pedes- trians, stationary vehicles as well as vehiclesdriving in the same direction in front of thecar. If there is a risk of collision with a pedestrian or a vehicle then the driver's attention isattracted with a flashing red warning signal (1)and an acoustic signal.
2 - Brake support 16If the risk of collision has increased furtherafter the collision warning then the brake sup-port is activated. This means that the brake system is prepared for rapid braking by applying the brakeslightly, which may feel like a slight jolt. If the brake pedal is depressed sufficiently quickly then full brake function is imple-mented. Brake support also reinforces the driver's braking if the system considers that the brak-ing is not sufficient to avoid a collision.
3 - Auto Brake
16The automatic brake function is activatedlast. If in this situation the driver has not yet started to take evasive action and the risk ofcollision is imminent then the automatic brak-ing function is deployed - this takes placeirrespective of whether or not the driverbrakes. Braking then takes place with fullbrake force in order to reduce collision speed,or with limited brake force if it is sufficient toavoid a collision. For cyclists, the warning andfull brake intervention may come very late orsimultaneously.
