CauseAction
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar sensor.Have the area of the windshield cleaned by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Strong backlightingNo action required. The came will reset automatically when lighting conditions improve.
High temperaturesIf the temperature in the passenger compartment is very high, the camera and radar sensor may betemporarily turned off for approx. 15 minutesafter the engine has been started to protect theirelectronic components. When the temperaturehas cooled sufficiently, the camera and radarsensor will restart automatically.Damaged windshield
CAUTION
•Service and maintenance on City Safety may only be carried out by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
• If a crack, scratch or stone chip shouldoccur in the section of the windshield infront the camera/radar sensor, contact atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian to repair or replace the windshield.Failing to do so may result in reducedCity Safety functionality.
To help prevent limited or reduced functional- ity, please also observe the following:
• Volvo recommends that cracks, scratches or stone chips on the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor should
not
be repaired; in such cases, the entire windshield should be replaced.
• Before the windshield is replaced, con-tact a Volvo retailer to ensure that thecorrect windshield is ordered and instal-led. If the wrong type of windshield is
used, this may cause City Safety to func- tion improperly or not at all.
• Volvo recommends the use of only Genu-ine Volvo Replacement Windshields.
• When replacing windshield wipers, usethe same type or ones approved by Volvo.
After the windshield has been replaced, the camera/radar sensor will have to be recalibra-ted by a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician to help ensure proper function ofall of the vehicle's camera-/radar-based sys-tems.
MaintenanceIn order for camera and radar sensor to function properly, the area of the windshield must be keptfree of dirt, ice, snow, etc. and should be washedregularly with a suitable car washing detergent.

The radar unit is used by the following functions:
• Distance Alert
*
• Adaptive Cruise Control
*
• Pilot Assist
*
• City Safety
Any modifications to the radar unit may make its use illegal.

Radar sensor limitations
The radar sensor used by several of the driver support systems has certain limitations, whichalso affect the systems using it.
Obstructions
The marked area must not be obstructed in any way. This area of the windshield should always be kept clean
The radar sensor is located at the upper, center section of the windshield along with the camera.
WARNING
Never place any objects, decals, etc., on the windshield in front of the camera/radar unit.This could reduce or block these components'functions, and could cause one or more of thesystems that utilize the them to stop function-ing.
If this symbol and the message
Windscreen Sensors blockedappear in the instrument panel, this indicates that the camera and/or radar
sensor cannot detect other vehicles ahead.
The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed andsuggested actions.
CauseAction
The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is dirty or covered by ice or snow.Clean the windshield or remove the ice/ snow.
Thick fog or heavy rain/snow blocks reduces the camera/radar sensor's range of visibility.No action. The driver should be extra alert in conditions of this type.
Water or snow on the surface of the road swirl up and block radar signals or the camera's view.No action. The driver should be extra alert in conditions of this type.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar sensor.Have the area of the windshield cleaned by a trained and quali- fied Volvo service technician.

The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles ahead is impeded:
• if the speed of the vehicle ahead differs greatly from your vehicle's speed.
Limited field of visionThe radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detect a vehicle later thanexpected or not detect other vehicles at all.
Radar sensor's field of vision
In certain situations, the radar sensor cannot detect vehicles at close quarters, for examplea vehicle that suddenly enters the lanebetween your vehicle and the target vehicle.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehi- cles not driving in the center of the lane mayremain undetected.
In curves, the radar sensor may detect the wrong vehicle or lose sight of the target vehi-cle.
Low trailer in the radar shadow
Low trailers may also be difficult to detect or may not be detected at all. The driver should be extraalert in situations of this type.
High temperaturesIf the temperature in the passenger compartmentis very high, the camera and radar sensor may betemporarily turned off for approx. 15 minutesafter the engine has been started to protect theirelectronic components. When the temperaturehas cooled sufficiently, the camera and radarsensor will restart automatically.

Cruise Control (CC)
Cruise Control (CC) is designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed. It is primarilyintended for use on long straight roads in steadytraffic, such as on highways and other mainroads in smoothly flowing traffic.
Overview

WARNING
• The vehicle must always be driven according to current traffic/road condi-tions. The driver must take action if CCdoes not maintain a suitable speedand/or distance to other vehicles.
• The driver is always responsible for oper-ating the vehicle in a safe manner.

Cruise Control (CC) must be selected and acti- vated before it can regulate the vehicle's speed.
Selecting CC (putting it in standby
mode)
Function buttons and symbols
–Press ◀ (1) or ▶ (3) to scroll to the CC

NOTE
Before CC can be activated, the vehicle's speed must be at least 20 mph (30 km/h).This is also the lowest speed that can be set.
Activating CC (putting it in active mode and setting a speed)
–With the symbol displayed (CC is in
standby mode), press the
button (2) on
the left-side steering wheel keypad.
> This puts CC in active mode and will maintain the vehicle's current speed.

Changing Cruise Control speed
Changing a set speed
Function buttons and symbols
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or — (2) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: changes speed in
+/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h) increments. Each press changes the vehicle's speedby +/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h).
• Press and hold
: Release the button
when the set speed indicator (4) hasmoved to the desired speed.
If speed is increased by pressing the accelerator pedal before the
button is pressed, the vehi-
cle's speed when the button is pressed will become the set speed assuming that the accel- erator pedal is still depressed when the button ispressed. A temporary increase in speed, such as when passing another vehicle, does not affect the CCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released.
Engine braking instead of applying the
brakes
CC regulates speed by applying the brakeslightly. To avoid a loss of speed when drivingdown hills, use the engine braking functioninstead of letting the CC apply the brakes. In thissituation, the driver can temporarily deactivate theCC braking function. To do so:
–Press the accelerator pedal approx. halfway down and release it.
> CC will automatically deactivate the auto- matic brake function and will then only use the engine braking function.
