Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driver support systems that help provide the driver withactive/passive support.
Some of these systems are standard while others are optional and they are designed to e.g., helpthe driver maintain a set speed or a set distanceto a vehicle ahead, or warn the driver of a poten-tial collision situation and in certain cases applythe brakes if necessary. Certain optional systemscan also assist in various parking situations.

Detecting cyclists and pedestrians with City Safety
City Safety can detect vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
VehiclesCity Safety detects most types of vehicles that are either stationary, moving in the same direc-tion as your vehicle or approaching when you areabout to turn left. In order for City Safety to detect a vehicle in darkness, its headlights and taillights must be onand clearly visible.
Cyclists
Optimal example of what the system considers to be a cyclist: clear body/bike contours
To help function optimally, City Safety's function for cyclist detection needs clear informationabout the bike itself and the rider's head, arms, shoulders, legs, the upper and lower parts of thebody and a cyclist's normal pattern of movement.
• If major parts of the cyclist's body are not visible to the camera, the system cannotdetect the cyclist.
• The cyclist must be an adult riding a bikeintended for an adult.
WARNING
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It cannot detect:
• all cyclists in all situations, e.g., a partially obscured cyclist will not be detected.
• a cyclist whose clothing prevents a clearview of the person's body contours.
• a cyclist transporting a large object.
The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.

Pedestrians
Optimal example of what the system considers to be a pedestrian: clear body contours
To help function optimally, City Safety's function for pedestrian detection needs clear informationabout the person's head, arms, shoulders, legs,the upper and lower parts of the body and a per-son's normal pattern of movement. In order to detect a pedestrian, there must be a contrast to the background. If there is little con-trast, the person may be detected late or not atall, which may result in a late or no reaction fromthe system. City Safety can also detect pedestrians in dark- ness with the help of the vehicle's headlights.•
If major parts of the pedestrian's body are not visible to the camera, he/she may not bedetected.
• In order to detect a pedestrian, the systemmust have a full view of the person's entirebody and the person must be at least 32 in.(80 cm) tall.
WARNING
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It cannot detect pedestrians:
• who are partially obscured, wearing cloth- ing that prevents a clear view of the per-son's body contours or who are not atleast 32 in. (80 cm) tall.
• who have limited contrast to their immedi-ate background. A warning or brakingmay be delayed or not come at all.
• carrying a large object.
The driver is always responsible for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner.

City Safety in crossing traffic
City Safety can help the driver when making a left turn in an intersection.
Turning at an intersection
1. The area in which City Safety can detect an oncoming vehicle
In order for City Safety to detect an approaching vehicle in situations where there is a risk of a col-lision, that vehicle must be within City Safety'srange (the red area in the illustration). The following criteria must also be met:
• your vehicle's speed must be at least 3 mph (4 km/h)
• the approaching vehicle's headlights must beon

Camera and radar sensor's field of vision
The camera and radar sensor have limited fields of vision. In some situations they may detect avehicle, pedestrian or cyclist later than expectedor not detect them at all. Other vehicles that are dirty may be detected later than others and in dark conditions, motorcy-cles may be detected late or not at all. If a text message is displayed in the instrument panel indicates that the camera or radar sensorare blocked, it may be difficult for City Safety todetect a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist and thesystem's functionality may be reduced.
WARNING
Text messages may not be displayed in all sit- uations in which the camera and/or radarsensor are blocked. It is therefore essential tokeep the windshield in front the camera/radarsensor clean and free from snow, ice, etc.
Camera and radar sensor components should only be serviced or replaced by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
Other limitations
City Safety uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which have certain general limitations.See the articles "Camera limitations" and Radarsensor limitations" for additional information.
WARNING
• Warnings and braking may be delayed or not occur at all if traffic, weather or otherconditions prevent the camera and/orradar sensor from detecting pedestrians,cyclists or other vehicles correctly.
• Other vehicles can only be detected indarkness if their headlights and taillightsare clearly visible.
• The sensors have a limited range forpedestrians and cyclists. The systemfunctions best at speeds up to 30 mph(50 km/h). For stationary or slow-movingvehicles, the system functions best atspeeds up to approx. 43 mph (70 km/h).
• Warnings for stationary or slow-movingvehicles may be impeded by darkness orpoor visibility.
• Warnings and braking for pedestrians andcyclists will not be provided at speedsabove approx. 50 mph (80 km/h).
• Do not place, attach or mount any objectson the inside or outside of the windshieldnear or over the sensor. This could affectthe camera-based functions.
Action by the driver
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated while the vehicle is backing up.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds (under approx. 3 mph (4 km/h). This means thatthe system will not be triggered if your vehicleapproaches a vehicle ahead, such as when park-ing.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. For this reason, City Safety may not react or react laterthan expected in situations in which the driver isactively operating the vehicle, even if a collision isimminent. This is also done to help eliminateexcessive warnings.

The tone becomes constant when you are within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an object and theinnermost sensor field will be red. If there areobjects within this distance both behind and infront of the vehicle, the tone alternates betweenfront and rear speakers. While an audible signal is being given, its volume level can be raised/lowered using the
>II control
in the center console or can be adjusted in the Setting menu.
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT a safety system. This system is designed to bea supplementary aid when parking the vehicle.It is not, however, intended to replace the driv-er's attention and judgement.
Rear park assist
The system's rear sensors are activated automat- ically when the engine is started and are active ifthe vehicle rolls rearward with the gear selector in N or if R has been selected.
The distance monitored behind the vehicle is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signalcomes from the rear speakers. The rear sensors will be deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine trailer wir-ing is used. If a non-Volvo trailer hitch is beingused, it may be necessary to switch off the sys-tem manually.
Side park assist
The system's side sensors are activated automat- ically when the engine is started and are active atspeeds below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). The distance monitored along the sides of thevehicle is approximately 1 ft (0.3 m). The audiblesignal comes from the side speakers.
Front park assist
The system's front sensors are activated auto- matically when the engine is started and areactive at speeds below approximately 6 mph(10 km/h). The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audible signalcomes from the front speakers. Front Park Assist is deactivated if the parking brake is applied or if the gear selector is put in
P.
When installing auxiliary headlights, be sure that they do not obstruct the front sensors. Otherwise,these lights could trigger a Park Assist warning.

Battery drain Your vehicle's electrical functions drain the bat- tery to varying extents.
Avoid using ignition mode II as much as posssi-
ble, or electrical functions that require a great deal of electrical current when the engine is notrunning. Using ignition mode I whenever possible con-
sumes less electrical current. Functions that require a great deal of electrical current include:
• the climate system blower
• headlights
• wipers
• infotainment system (especially at high vol- ume).
If the battery's charge level is low, a text message will appear in the instrument panel. The vehicle'senergy-saving function will then turn off orreduce certain functions that are currently con-suming electrical current. If the battery needs to be recharged, start the engine and let it idle for at least 15 minutes ordrive the vehicle (driving charges the batteryfaster than letting the engine idle).
