Adaptive Cruise Control – troubleshooting
If the message Radar blocked See manualis displayed, this means that the radar signalsfrom the sensor have been obstructed and that a vehicle ahead cannot be detected. This, in turn, means that the functions of the ACC, Distance Alert, and Collision Warning
System with Auto-brake and PedestrianDetection will not function. The table lists possible causes for this mes- sage being displayed, and suitable actions.
CauseAction
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty or obstructed in some way.Clean the radar surface, or remove the object causing the obstruction.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.No action possible. Heavy precipitation may affect the function of the radar.
Swirling water or snow from the surface of the road may interfere with the radar signals.No action possible. A very wet or snow-covered road surface may affect the function of the radar.
The surface of the radar is clean but the message remains in the display.Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detect that it is no longer obstructed.

City Safety – introduction
City Safety™4
is a support system designed
to help the driver avoid low speed collisions when driving in slow-moving, stop-and-gotraffic. City Safety™ is not active if your vehicle’s speed is below approximately 2 mph(4 km/h). This means that City Safety™ willnot react if your vehicle approaches anothervehicle at very low speed, for example, whenparking. The function is active at speeds up to approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) and assiststhe driver by applying the brakes automati-cally, thereby avoiding or helping to reducethe effects of a collision. City Safety™ is designed to intervene as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary activa-tion. City Safety™ triggers brief, forceful braking if a low-speed collision is imminent. However,the system will not intervene in situationswhere the driver actively steers the vehicle orapplies the brakes, even if a collision cannotbe avoided. This is done in order to alwaysgive the driver’s actions highest priority. City Safety™ activates in situations where the driver has not applied the brakes in time, which means that the system cannot help thedriver in all situations. City Safety™ should not be used to alter the way in which the driver operates the vehicle.The driver should never rely solely on thissystem to safely stop the vehicle. Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safety™ except whenthe system intervenes when a low-speed col-lision is imminent. If the vehicle is also equipped with the optional Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection system, thetwo systems interact. For more informationabout the Collision Warning with Auto-brakesystem, see Collision warning – introduction(p. 197) .
WARNING
•
City Safety™ is a supplemental aid to the driver. It can never replace thedriver’s attention to traffic conditionsor his/her responsibility for operatingthe vehicle in a safe manner.
• City Safety™ does not function in alldriving situations or in all traffic,weather or road conditions.
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.

City Safety – function
Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield 5
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.

Collision warning – introduction
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is designed to assist the driver ifthere is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian,a cyclist, a vehicle ahead that is at a standstillor one that is moving in the same direction asyour vehicle. This system consists of the following three functions: • Collision Warning
warns the driver of a
potential collision situation.
• Brake Support
helps the driver brake
efficiently in a critical situation.
• Auto-brake
brakes the vehicle automati-
cally if a collision with a pedestrian, a cyclist or another vehicle cannot be avoi-ded and the driver does not apply thebrakes in time or steer around the per-son/vehicle. Auto-brake can help preventa collision or reduce the speed at which acollision occurs.
Since Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is activated in circumstanceswhere the driver should have begun brakingmuch sooner, the system will not be able toassist the driver in all situations. This system is designed to activate as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary interven-tion. The system should not be used in such a way that the driver changes his/her way of operat- ing the vehicle. If the driver relies entirely onthe system, the chances of an accident even-tually occurring increase considerably. The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake and City Safety™ systems sup-plement each other. See City Safety – intro-duction (p. 190) for detailed information aboutCity Safety™.
WARNING
No automatic system can be guaranteed to function 100% correctly in all situations.For that reason, never test the Auto-brakesystem by driving toward a person orobject. This could result in serious injury ordeath.

WARNING
• Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake does not work in alldriving, traffic, weather and road con-ditions. It does not react to vehiclesnot traveling in the same direction asyour vehicle.
• Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection withFull Auto Brake does not react to ani-mals.
• Warnings are only provided when therisk of collision is high. The "Function"section provides information aboutlimitations that the driver must beaware of before using Collision Warn-ing.
• Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection withFull Auto Brake will not provide awarning or brake the vehicle forpedestrians or cyclists at speedsabove 50 mph (80 km/h).
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.

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.
