DeactivatingDeactivate the rain sensor by pressing the button
or press the lever down to
another wiper position. The rain sensor is automatically deactivated when the key is removed from the ignitionslot or five minutes after the ignition has beenswitched off.
CAUTION
The rain sensor should be deactivated when washing the car in an automatic carwash, etc. If the rain sensor function is lefton, the wipers will start inadvertently in thecar wash and could be damaged.
Windshield washer
Move the lever toward the steering wheel to start the windshield and headlight washers.After the lever is released the wipers makeseveral extra sweeps.
Heated washer nozzles*The washer nozzles are heated automaticallyin cold weather to help prevent the washerfluid from freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing*High-pressure headlight washing consumes alarge quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,the headlights are washed using two alterna-tives:
• Low/high beam headlights on.
The
headlights will be washed the first time the windshield is washed. Thereafter, theheadlights will only be washed once forevery five times the windshield is washedwithin a 10-minute period.
• Parking lights on.
Optional Active Bend-
ing Lights will be washed once for everyfive times the windshield is washed. Nor-mal halogen headlights will not bewashed.
CAUTION
• Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield. The windshield shouldbe thoroughly wet when the wipers arein operation.
• When approx. 1 US quart (1 liter) ofwasher fluid remains in the reservoir,the headlights will no longer bewashed. A text message will also bedisplayed to remind the driver to fill thewasher fluid reservoir.

Limitations
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.
The sensor used by City Safety™ is designed to detect cars and other larger motor vehiclesahead of your vehicle in both daylight anddarkness. 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 stability sys-tem (see Stability system – introduction(p. 141)) will help provide the best possiblebraking capacity and stability. City Safety™ emits a laser beam and meas- ures the way in which the light is reflected.

City Safety – Laser sensor
The laser sensor
The upper decal describes the laser beam's classification and contains the following text: Invisible Laser radiation – Do not view directly with optical instruments (magnifiers) – Class1M laser product. The lower decal describes the laser beam's physical data and contains the text: IEC 60825-1:1993 + A2:2001. Complies with FDA performance standards for laser prod-ucts except for deviations pursuant to LaserNotice No. 50, dated July 26th, 2001 The laser beam's physical data is listed in the following table:
Maximum pulse energy2.64 μJ
Maximum average output45 mW
Pulse length33 ns
Divergence (horizontal × verti- cal)28° × 12°
NOTE
The function of aftermarket laser detectors may be affected by City Safety's laser sen-sor.
WARNING
The laser sensor emits light when the igni- tion is in mode II or higher, even if City
Safety™ has been switched off.
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).

The camera’s limitations
The camera has the same limitations as the human eye. The camera is used by Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake Collision warn-ing – introduction (p. 175), Active High Beams(Active high beams (AHB)* (p. 77)), Road SignInformation (Road Sign Information (RSI)* –introduction (p. 145)) and Driver Alert System(Driver Alert System (p. 188)) with LaneDeparture Warning or Lane Keeping Aid.
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
•
The camera has the same type of limi- tations as the human eye, i.e., it can-not see as well in heavy snowfall orrain, thick fog or in heavy blowing dustor snow. In such conditions, systemsdepending on the camera may experi-ence greatly reduced functionality ormay be temporarily deactivated.
• Never place any objects, decals, etc.,on the windshield in front of the cam-era. This could reduce or block thecamera’s function, and could causeone or more of the systems that utilizethe camera to stop functioning.
• Strong sunlight, reflections from theroad surface, ice or snow covering theroad, a dirty road surface, or unclearlane marker lines may drasticallyreduce the camera’s capacity todetect the side of a lane, a pedestrian,a cyclist or another vehicle.

Engine and cooling system
Under special conditions, for example when driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or withheavy loads, there is a risk that the engine andcooling system will overheat. Proceed as follows to avoid overheating the engine. •Maintain a low speed when driving with a trailer up long, steep hills. For informa-tion, see Towing a trailer (p. 243)
• Do not turn the engine off immediatelywhen stopping after a hard drive.
WARNING
The cooling fan may start or continue to operate (for up to 6 minutes) after theengine has been switched off.
•
Remove any auxiliary lights from in front of the grille when driving in hot weatherconditions.
• Do not exceed engine speeds of4500 rpm if driving with a trailer in hillyterrain. The oil temperature could becometoo high.
Conserving electrical current
Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain:
• When the engine is not running, avoid using ignition mode
II. Many electrical
systems (the audio system, the optionalnavigation system, power windows, etc)will function in ignition modes 0 and I.
These modes reduce drain on the battery.
• Please keep in mind that using systems,accessories, etc., that consume a greatdeal of current when the engine is notrunning could result in the battery beingcompletely drained. Driving or having theengine running for approximately15 minutes will help keep the batterycharged.
• The optional area provides electrical cur-rent even with the ignition switched off,which drains the battery.
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo serv-ice technician before driving long distances.Your retailer will also be able to supply youwith bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiperblades for your use in the event that problemsoccur. As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip:
• Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
• Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.
• Have the transmission oil level (p. 325)checked.
• Check condition of drive belts.
• Check state of the battery's charge.
• Examine tires carefully (the spare tire aswell), and replace those that areworn (p. 251). Check tire pres-sure (p. 256).
• The brakes, front wheel alignment, andsteering gear should be checked by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian only.
• Check all lights, including high beams.
• Reflective warning triangles are legallyrequired in some states/provinces.
• Have a word with a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician if you intend to
