SymbolMessageDescription
-Cruise control Cancel- ledACC has been automatically switched off. The driver has to regulate the vehicle’s speed/distance to the vehicle ahead.
-Cruise control Unavail- ableACC cannot be put in active mode. This may be due to: • high brake temperature
• the radar sensor is obstructed (by heavy rain, snow, etc.)
Radar blocked See manualACC has been temporarily disconnected because the radar is obstructed in some way and cannot detect other vehicles. In this situation, the driver can switch to standard cruise control, see page 164See page 166 for information on the radar sensor’s limitations.
-Cruise control Service requiredACC is not functioning. Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
-Press Brake To hold +
an audible signalThe vehicle is at a standstill and ACC will release the brakes before the parking brake engages to keep the vehicle stopped but a problem with the parking brake means that the vehicle may begin to roll. The driver will have to apply the brakes. The message will remain in the display and the audible signal will continue until the driver applies the brakes or presses the accelerator pedal.
-Below 30 km/h Only followingThis is displayed if you try to activate ACC at speeds below approx. 18 mph (30 km/h) without a vehicle ahead within range (approx. 100 ft/30 meters).

170* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Con- trol and is a function that provides informa-tion about the time interval to the vehicleahead. Distance Alert is active at speeds above approximately 18 mph (30 km/h). Time inter-val information is only given for a vehicle thatis driving ahead of your vehicle in the samedirection. No information is provided for vehi-cles driving toward you, moving very slowly,or at a standstill.
Amber warning light 1
An amber warning light in the windshield glows steadily if your vehicle is closer to theone ahead than the set time interval.
NOTE
Distance Alert only monitors distance to the vehicle ahead while Adaptive CruiseControl is in standby mode or off.
WARNING
Distance Alert only indicates the distance to the vehicle ahead. It does not affect thespeed of your vehicle.
Operation
Press the button in the center instrument panel to switch this function on or off. Theindicator light in the button illuminates whenthe function is on. Depending on the optional equipmentselected, there may not be room for a Dis-tance Alert button in the center console. Inthis case, the function is controlled throughthe menu system. Press

Five different time intervals can be selected and areshown in the display as 1–5horizontal bars. The greaterthe number of bars, thelonger the time interval. Onebar represents approximately
1 second to the vehicle ahead; 5 bars isapproximately 3 seconds.
NOTE
• The higher your vehicle’s speed, the greater the distance to the vehicleahead, measured in feet (meters), for agiven time interval.
• The set time interval is also used byAdaptive Cruise Control, seepage 161.
WARNING
Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions.
Limitations
Distance Alert uses the same radar sensor used by Adaptive Cruise Control and the Col-lision Warning system. See page 166 for
more information on the radar sensor’s limita-tions.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if thedriver is not looking straight ahead maymake the visual warning signal in the wind-shield difficult to see.
WARNING
• Bad weather or winding roads may affect the radar sensor’s capacity todetect vehicles ahead.
• The size of the vehicle ahead, such asa motorcycle, may also make it difficultto detect. This may result in the warn-ing light illuminating at a shorter dis-tance than the one that has been set,or that the light will not come on at all.

City Safety™
04
174
WARNING
•City Safety™ only reacts to vehicles traveling in the same direction as yourvehicle and does not react to smallvehicles or motorcycles or to people oranimals.
• City Safety™ is not activated whenyour vehicle is backing up.
• City Safety™ functions at speeds upto 30 mph (50 km/h). This system canhelp prevent a collision if the
differ-
ence in speed between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is less than9 mph (15 km/h). If the difference inspeed is greater, a collision cannot beavoided but the speed at which thecollision occurs can be reduced. Thedriver must apply the vehicle’s brakesfor full braking effect.
• City Safety™ will not intervene in apotential collision situation if the vehi-cle is being driven actively. The driveris always responsible for maintaining asafe distance to a vehicle or objectahead.
Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield 2
City Safety™ monitors traffic ahead of you using a laser sensor mounted in the uppersection of the windshield. If a collision isimminent, City Safety™ will automaticallyapply the brakes, which may feel like hardbraking. If the difference in speed between your vehi- cle and the vehicle ahead is more thanapproximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City Safety™alone cannot prevent a collision from takingplace. The driver must apply the brakes tohelp avoid a collision or reduce its effect. When the function activates and applies the brakes, a message will appear in the informa- tion display to indicate that the system is/hasbeen active.
NOTE
•
When City Safety™ applies the brakes, the brake lights will illuminate.
• In cases where City Safety™ has stop-ped the vehicle, the system will thenrelease the brakes. The driver mustapply the brakes to keep the vehicle ata standstill.
Using City Safety™
NOTE
The City Safety™ function is activated automatically each time the engine hasbeen switched off and restarted.
On and OffIn certain situations, it may be desirable to switch City Safety™ off, such as when drivingin close quarters where leaves, branches, etc.may obscure the hood and windshield. When the engine is running, City Safety™ can be switched off as follows:

panel and go to
SettingsCar settings
Driver support systemsCity Safety.
Select
Off.
If the engine is switched off, City Safety™ will reactivate when the engine is restarted.
WARNING
The laser sensor emits light when the igni- tion is in mode II or higher, even if City
Safety™ has been switched off.
To switch City Safety™ on again:
• Follow the same procedure as for switch- ing City Safety™ off but select
On.
Limitations
The sensor used by City Safety™ is designed to detect cars and other larger motor vehiclesahead of your vehicle in both daylight anddarkness.
WARNING
The laser sensor has certain limitations and its function may be reduced (or it maynot function at all) in conditions such asheavy rain or snowfall, or by dense fog orthick, blowing dust or snow. Condensa-tion, dirt, ice or snow on the windshieldmay also interfere with the sensor’s func-tion.
Objects such as warning flags hanging from long objects on the roof or accessories suchas auxiliary lights or protective arches on thefront of the vehicle that are higher than thehood may also impede the sensor’s function. Braking distance to the vehicle ahead increa- ses on slippery road surfaces, which mayreduce City Safety’s capacity to avoid a colli-sion. In situations like this, the DSTC system(see page 152) will help provide the best pos-sible braking capacity and stability. City Safety™ emits a laser beam and meas- ures the way in which the light is reflected.Therefore, vehicles or objects with low-reflec-tive surfaces may not be detected. Normally,the license plate and taillight reflectors givethe rear section of a vehicle ahead sufficientreflective surfaces to be detected.
NOTE
•Keep the windshield in front of the laser sensor free of ice, snow, dirt, etc.See page 174.
• Snow or ice on the hood deeper than2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sen-sor. Keep the hood free of ice andsnow.
• Do not mount or in any way attachanything on the windshield that couldobstruct the laser sensor.
Troubleshooting
If Windscreen Sensors blocked appears in
the information display, this indicates that the City Safety™ laser sensor is obstructed insome way and cannot detect vehicles aheadof you, which means that the system is notfunctioning. However, this message will not be displayed in all situations in which the sensor isobstructed. For this reason, the driver mustensure that the area of the windshield in frontof the sensor is always kept clean. The following table shows some of the situa- tions that can cause the message to be dis-played and suggested actions.

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 laserinstruments. Testing, repairing, remov-ing, adjusting and/or replacing anycomponents in the laser sensor mayonly be done by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.
• Do not remove the laser sensor(including removal of the lenses). Alaser sensor that has been removedbelongs to laser class 3B according tostandard IEC 60825-1. Devices in laserclass 3B present a risk of injury to theeyes.
• The laser sensor’s connector must bedisconnected before the sensor isremoved from the windshield.
• The laser sensor must be mounted inplace on the windshield before con-necting the sensor’s connector.
• Do not view the laser sensor (whichemits spreading, invisible laser beams)with optical instruments from a dis-tance of less than 4 inches (100 mm).Symbols and messages in the display

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.
• Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection withFull Auto Brake alerts the driver to therisk of a collision but this function can-not reduce the driver’s reaction time.
• For the system to be as effective aspossible, it is recommended that Dis-tance Alert be set to 4 or 5, seepage 170.
NOTE
•When Adaptive Cruise Control is used, the warning light and signal will beused by that function, even if thewarnings provided by Pedestrian andCyclist Detection with Full Auto Brakehave been deactivated by the driver.
• In situations where traffic is moving atconsiderably different speeds, or if thevehicle ahead brakes suddenly, warn-ings may be considered to be late, even if the setting
Long has been
selected.
