WARNING
• Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake will not provide awarning or brake the vehicle forpedestrians in darkness or in tunnels,even if there is street lighting in thearea.
• The auto-brake function can help pre-vent a collision or reduce the speed atimpact but the driver should alwaysapply the brakes for the best possiblebraking effect, even if auto-brake isactively applying the brakes.
• Never wait for a collision warning. Thissystem is designed to be a supple-mentary driving aid. It is not, however,intended to replace the driver's atten-tion and judgement. The driver isresponsible for maintaining a safe dis-tance and speed, even when the colli-sion warning system is in use.
• Maintenance of the Pedestrian andCyclist Detection with Full Auto Brakesystem's components must only beperformed by a trained and qualifiedVolvo technician.
Function
Function overview
Audio-visual warning signals, collision risk
Radar sensor
Camera
Collision WarningThe radar sensor and the camera work together to detect a pedestrian, a cyclist, sta-tionary vehicles and vehicles that are movingin the same direction as your vehicle. If thereis a risk of collision with a vehicle, a cyclist ora pedestrian, the driver is alerted by a flash-ing red warning light and an audible warningsignal. The system is active at speeds above3 mph (4 km/h).
Brake SupportIf the risk of collision continues to increaseafter the collision warning has been given,Brake Support is activated. Brake Supportprepares the brake system to react quickly,and the brakes are applied slightly. This maybe experienced as a light tug. If the brakes are applied quickly, full braking effect will be provided. Brake Support alsoincreases brake force if the system deter-mines that the driver has not applied ade-quate pressure on the brake pedal.
Auto-brakeIf a collision is imminent and the driver hasnot applied the brakes or begun to steeraround the vehicle, pedestrian or a cyclist,the auto-brake function is activated withoutthe driver pressing the brake pedal. Full brakeforce is applied to help reduce the vehicle’sspeed when the collision occurs or limitedbrake force is applied if this is sufficient toavoid the collision.
NOTE
The auto-brake and brake support func- tions are always on and cannot be turnedoff.

Maintenance
Camera and radar sensor 1
In order to function properly, the camera and radar sensor must be kept clean. Dirt, ice,snow, etc., will reduce the function of thesecomponents. Remove ice and snow when necessary and wash these areas regularly with a suitable carwashing liquid.
Limitations
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if thedriver is not looking straight ahead may makethe visual warning signal in the windshield dif-ficult to see. For this reason, always activatethe audible warning signal. Slippery driving conditions increase braking distance, which can reduce the system'scapacity to avoid a collision. In these condi-tions, the ABS and DSTC systems providethe best possible braking effect while helpingto maintain stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal may be tempo- rarily disengaged in the event of high pas-senger compartment temperature due tostrong sunlight, etc. If this occurs, theaudible warning signal will be used, even ifit has been deactivated in the menu sys-tem.
WARNING
• In certain situations, the system can- not provide warnings or warnings maybe delayed if traffic conditions or otherexternal factors make it impossible forthe radar sensor or camera to detect apedestrian, a cyclist or a vehicleahead.
• Warnings may not be provided if thedistance to the vehicle ahead is short,or if movements of the steering wheel/brake pedal are great, such as duringactive driving.
• The sensor system has a limited rangefor pedestrians/cyclists and provideswarnings and braking effect mosteffectively at speeds up to 30 mph(50 km/h). For stationary or slow-mov-ing vehicles, the system functions bestif your vehicle’s speed is belowapproximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
• Warnings for stationary or slow-mov-ing vehicles may not be provided indark conditions or in poor visibility.
The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake system uses the same radar sen-sors as Adaptive Cruise Control. For more

information on the radar sensor and its limita- tions, see page 164.
NOTE
If warnings are given too frequently, the warning distance can be reduced (seepage 179). This causes the system to pro-vide later warnings, which decreases thetotal number of warnings provided.
WARNING
•
The system is not activated at speeds under approx. 2 mph (4 km/h). There-fore, it will not brake your vehicle if youapproach a vehicle ahead at very lowspeed, such as when parking.
• The driver's actions always have high-est priority and override the Pedestrianand Cyclist Detection with Full AutoBrake system. This means that thesystem will not intervene in situationswhere the driver is actively steering,braking or pressing the acceleratorpedal, even if a collision is imminent.
• When Auto-brake has prevented a col-lision with a stationary object, yourvehicle will remain at a standstill forapprox. 1.5 seconds. If your vehiclehas been braked for a moving vehicleahead, your vehicle's speed will bereduced to the same speed as thatvehicle's.
The camera’s limitationsThe camera is used by Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake, Driver AlertControl (see page 187), and Lane DepartureWarning (see page 189).
NOTE
•To help protect the camera in very hot conditions, it may be temporarilyswitched off for approximately 15minutes after the engine has beenstarted.
• Keep the section of the windshield infront of the camera clean and free ofice, snow, or condensation.

WARNING
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is designed to be a supple-mentary driving aid. It is not, however,intended to replace the driver's attentionand judgement. The driver is alwaysresponsible for operating the vehicle in asafe manner. The system cannot detect a bike/cyclist if: • He/she is wearing loose-fitting clothing that may obscure body contours
• The bike is approaching your vehiclefrom the side
• The bike is not equipped with a rear-facing red reflector
• The bike is carrying large objects
• Most of the cyclist's body or the bikeitself cannot be "seen" by the system'scameraFault tracing and actions
If the message Windscreen Sensors
blocked is displayed, this means that the
camera is obscured and cannot detect pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles or road markerlines in front of the vehicle. This, in turn, means that Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake, LaneDeparture Warning, and Driver Alert Controlwill not have full functionality. The table lists possible causes for this mes- sage being displayed, and suitable actions.
CauseAction
The surface of the windshield in front of the camera is dirty or covered with ice or snow.Clean or clear the section of the windshield in front of the camera.
Fog, heavy rain or snow is interfering with the function of the camera.No action possible. Heavy precipitation may affect the function of the camera.

Driver support systemsDriver Alert and check the box. If the box
is not checked, the function is off.
FunctionDriver Alert is activated when the vehicle exceeds a speed of 40 mph (65 km/h) and will remain active as long as the speed is overapprox. 37 mph (60 km/h).
If the vehicle is being driven errati-cally, the driver will be alerted by anaudible 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 thesame.
Press the OK button to erase a message.
WARNING
• An alert should be taken seriously since it is sometimes difficult for adriver to realize that he/she is fatigued.
• In the event of a warning or if thedriver feels fatigued, stop as soon aspossible in a safe place and rest.
