• Pull the lever toward the steering wheel to position 2 and release it to togglebetween low and high beams.
High beam flashPull the lever toward the steering wheel to position 1. The high beams come on until thelever is released.

• Active high beams (AHB)* (p. 90)
• Lighting panel (p. 89)
• Tunnel detection (models with the rain sensor* only) (p. 92)
Active high beams (AHB)*
AHB uses a camera at the upper edge of the windshield to detect the headlights of oncom-ing vehicles or the taillights of a vehicledirectly ahead. When this happens, the head-lights will automatically switch from highbeams to low beams. When the camera nolonger detects the headlights/taillights ofother vehicles, your headlights will switchback to high beams after several seconds. To activate AHB:
• Turn the headlight control to the
position.
The feature will begin functioning if the engine has been running for at least 20 seconds andthe vehicle's speed is at least 12 mph(20 km/h).

Switch AHB on or off by pulling the left steer- ing wheel lever rearward (toward the steeringwheel) as far as possible and releasing it. IfAHB is switched off while the high beams areon, the headlights will change to low beams.
Models with an analog instrument panel
When AHB is activated, the symbol will
illuminate in the instrument panel. The high beam indicator (
) in the instrument panel
will also illuminate when the high beams are on.
Models with a digital instrument panel
When AHB is activated, will illuminate
as a white symbol in the instrument panel.
When the high beams are on, the symbol will change to blue.
NOTE
•Keep the windshield in front of the camera free of ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• Do not mount or in any way attachanything on the windshield that couldobstruct the camera.
If Active high beam Temporary
unavailable Switch manually is displayed in
the instrument panel, switching between high and low beams will have to be done man-ually. However, the light switch can remain in the
position. The same applies if
Windscreen Sensors blocked is displayed
and the
symbol is displayed. The symbol will go out when these messages are displayed. AHB may be temporarily unavailable (e.g., in heavy fog or rain). When AHB becomes activeagain or if the sensors in the windshield areno longer obscured, the messages will disap- pear and the
symbol will illuminate.
CAUTION
In the following situations, it may be nec- essary to switch between high and lowbeams manually:
• In heavy fog or rain
• In blowing snow or slush
• In bright moonlight
• In freezing rain
• In areas with dim street lighting
• When oncoming vehicles have dim front lighting
• If there are pedestrians on or near theroad
• If there are reflective objects, such assigns, near the road
• When oncoming vehicles' lights areobscured by e.g., fences, bushes, etc.
• When there are vehicles on connectingroads
• At the top of hills or in dips in the road
• In sharp curves

Volvo Sensus
Volvo Sensus is the core of the contact inter- face with your vehicle. Sensus provides infor-mation, entertainment and offers access tofunctions that make owning and operating aVolvo easier.
Volvo Sensus is the operating system in your vehicle and it enables you to interact intui-tively with the vehicle’s various features andfunctions, including accessing the Internet,when it suits you. Volvo Sensus uses the center console screen to display information and menus, and tooffer a user interface that enables you tomake personalized settings for e.g., vehicle,infotainment and climate system functions. The buttons on the center console or the steering wheel keypad are used to activate/deactivate functions and change numeroussettings. Pressing the
MY CAR button on the center
console displays all of the settings related todriving and operating the vehicle, such asCity Safety, lock and alarm functions, auto-matic blower speed, setting the clock, etc. Pressing the source buttons on the center console ( RADIO, MEDIA , TEL ,
, NAV * and
CAM *, etc.) make it possible to select e.g.,
AM or FM radio, play a CD or DVD, use the Bluetooth ®
hands-free feature, the navigation
system* or the park assist camera*. See your on-board owner’s manual or the separate printed supplements for detailedinformation about the functionality offered byVolvo Sensus.
22 The term “IC:” before the certification/registration number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.

Road Sign Information (RSI) – limitations
RSI's camera has the same limitations as the human eye. See The camera’s limitations(p. 217) for more information about the cam-era's limitations. Signs that indirectly indicate the speed limit (such as a sign with a town's name and thepermitted speed limit) will not be registeredby RSI. Other factors that may interfere with RSI include:
• Faded signs
• Signs located in a curve
• Twisted or damaged signs
• Obstructed signs
• Signs that are partially covered by snow, ice, etc.

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.

Collision warning* – 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.
