Ventilated seats
Seat ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating (p. 123) to e.g., help remove
dampness from the seat occupant's clothing.
Ventilated front seats*The ventilation system consists of fans in theseats and backrests that draw air through theseat upholstery. The cooling effect increasesas the air in the passenger compartmentbecomes cooler. The ventilation is controlled by the ECC sys- tem (p. 122), which takes into account theseat temperature, sunlight in the passengercompartment, and the ambient temperature. The ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating. The ventilation system can be activated when the engine is running. There are three comfortlevels that produce different cooling anddehumidifying effects:
• Level three: press the button once for maximum output – three indicator lightscome on.
• Level two: press the button twice for alower output – two indicator lights comeon.
• Level one: press the button three timesfor the lowest output – one indicator lightcomes on. •
Press the button a fourth time to switchoff the function – the indicator light will goout.

Temperature and blower control
When the vehicle is started, the most recent setting is resumed. The blower should always be activated to help avoid condensation and fogging on thewindows.
Temperature controlThe temperatures on thedriver and passenger sidescan be set separately.
NOTE
Heating or cooling cannot be speeded up by selecting a higher/lower temperaturethan the actual temperature required.
Blower controlTurn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwiseto decrease the blowerspeed. If
AUTO (p. 125) is
selected, blower speed willbe regulated automaticallyand this will override manual
adjustment.

Radar sensor
The radar sensor is designed to help detect cars or larger vehicles driving in the samedirection as your vehicle, in the same lane.
The radar sensor and its limitationsIn addition to being used by the AdaptiveCruise Control (ACC), the radar sensor is alsoused by Distance Alert (see Distance Alert –introduction (p. 185)) and Collision Warningwith Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detec-tion (see Collision warning – introduction(p. 196)).
WARNING
•If there is visible damage to the front grille or you suspect that the radarsensor may be damaged in any way,contact a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician as soon as possible.The radar sensor may only functionpartially (or not at all) if it is damagedor is not securely fastened in place.
• Accessories or other objects, such asextra headlights, must not be installedin front of the grille.
• Modification of the radar sensor couldmake its use illegal.
The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi- cles ahead is impeded:
• if the radar sensor is obstructed and can- not detect other vehicles, for example in heavy rain, or if snow or other objects areobscuring the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean.
•
if the speed of vehicles ahead is signifi- cantly different from your own speed.
Related information
•Adaptive Cruise Control – introduction(p. 171)
• Collision warning – introduction (p. 196)
• Distance Alert – introduction (p. 185)
Adaptive Cruise Control – limitations
The ACC cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions.
Situations where ACC may not function optimally
WARNING
• The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detecta vehicle later than expected or notdetect other vehicles at all.
• If ACC is not functioning properly,cruise control will also be disabled.

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.

City Safety – operation
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: Press My Car in the center console control
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.

City Safety – limitations
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. 162)) 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.

The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audiblesignal comes from the audio system's frontspeakers. It may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since theselights could trigger the system's sensors.
NOTE
Front park assist is deactivated when the parking brake is applied and or when thegear selector is in the P position.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC) – limitations
LimitationsEven if a fairly small section of the screen image appears to be obstructed, this maymean that a relatively large area behind thevehicle is hidden and objects there may notbe detected until they are very near the vehi-cle.
NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories mounted on the trunk may obstruct thecamera's field of view.
Keep in mind
• Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and snow. Remove ice and snow care-fully to avoid scratching the lens.
• Clean the lens regularly with warm waterand a suitable car washing detergent.

BLIS* – introduction
The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is an information system that indicates the pres-ence of another vehicle moving in the samedirection as your vehicle in the side-view mir-ror's "blind area."
G021426
BLIS camera
Indicator light
BLIS symbol
CAUTION
The BLIS system should only be repaired by a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
WARNING
• BLIS is an information system, NOT a warning or safety system.
• BLIS does not eliminate the need foryou to visually confirm the conditionsaround you, and the need for you toturn your head and shoulders to makesure that you can safely change lanes.
• As the driver, you have full responsibil-ity for changing lanes in a safe man-ner.
The system is based on digital camera tech- nology. The cameras are located beneath theside-view mirrors. When one (or both) of the cameras have detected a vehicle in the blind area (up toapproximately 10 ft. (3 meters) from the sideof your vehicle, and up to approximately 31 ft.(9.5 meters) behind the side-view mirror), seethe illustration, the indicator light in the doorpanel illuminates. The light will glow continu-ously to alert the driver of the vehicle in theblind area.
NOTE
The door panel indicator light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the sys-tem has detected another vehicle. If yourvehicle is passed on both sides at thesame time, both lights will illuminate.
