Collision warning
Warning light
Pilot Assist can exert brake force that is equiva- lent to approximately 40% of the vehicle's totalbraking capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than Pilot Assist can provide and if the driver does notapply the brakes, an audible signal from the CitySafety system will sound and warning light willilluminate in the windshield to alert the driver toreact.
Head-up-display*
A flashing symbol alerts the driver
If the vehicle is equipped with a head-up display *,
a flashing symbol in the windshield will alert the driver.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver isnot looking straight ahead may make the vis-ual warning signal in the windshield difficult tosee.

•the lane's side market lines are missing, badly faded or cross each other.
• the division of lanes is not clear, e.g.,when a line divides or merges withanother, at exits or if there are many roadsigns/markers.
• if there are edges or other lines on ornear the lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repairedareas, sharp shadows, etc.
• the lane is narrow or winding.
• the weather conditions (rain, snow, fog,slush, poor visibility, backlighting, etc).
The driver should also be aware that Pilot Assist has the following limitations: • High curbs, barriers and temporary obsta- cles (cones, barriers etc) may not bedetected or could be detected incorrectlyas side marker lines, which may create arisk of collision. The driver must ensure asafe distance to these obstacles.
• The camera or radar sensor may not beable to detect objects if there are pot-holes or if there are stationary objectspartially or completely blocking the road.
• Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
• Pilot Assist's steering capacity is limitedand may not always be able to help thedriver keep the vehicle in the lane.Hands on the steering wheel
Pilot Assist only functions when the driver's hands are on the steering wheel
, which is con-
tinuously monitored by the system. If this is notthe case, the driver will be alerted by a text mes-sage in the instrument panel. If the driver's handsare not returned to the steering wheel, an audiblesignal will sound. If the driver does not return his/her hands to the steering wheel after the audible signal, PilotAssist will go into standby mode and must be reactivated by pressing
.

Standby mode due to driver action
If a turn signal is used or if the accelerator pedal is pressed, Pilot Assist will temporarily go intostandby mode. When the turn signal is switchedoff or the accelerator pedal is released, PilotAssist will reactivate automatically. Automatic reactivation from standby mode can be done within 1 minute. After 1 minute haselapsed, Pilot Assist must be reactivated man- ually by pressing the
button.
Pilot Assist will temporarily go into standby mode if: • the brakes are applied
• the gear selector is moved to the
N position.
The driver will then have to regulate speed and distance to the vehicle ahead, or reactivate Pilot Assist manually by pressing the
button on
the left-side steering wheel keypad.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist interacts with other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control. If any of these othersystems are not functioning properly, Pilot Assistwill automatically be deactivated.
WARNING
If this happens, the driver will be alerted by an audible signal and a message in the instru-ment panel. The driver will have to adapt thevehicle's speed, apply the brakes when nec-essary and keep a safe distance to the vehicleahead.
Pilot Assist switches automatically to standby mode if: • the camera cannot detect the traffic lane's side marker lines
• the vehicle ahead is not within a reasonable(detectable) distance
• the driver's hands are not on the steeringwheel
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt
• engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
• the wheels lose traction
• brake temperature is too high
• The camera lens/radar sensor is covered bye.g., wet snow or if heavy rain interferes withradar waves
Reactivating Pilot Assist from standby mode
–Press the button (1).
> The most recently set speed will be used.

City Safety warning level settings
City Safety is always activated but the function's warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
City Safety cannot be turned off and activates automatically each time the engine/electricmotor is started.
Setting a warning level (distance)
The distance set for warnings determines the system's responsiveness and sets the distance atwhich visual, audible and tangible (haptic) warn-ings will be triggered. To do so:1. Tap
Settings in the center display's Top
view.
2. Tap
My CarIntelliSafeCity Safety.
3. Choose among
Earlier, Normal or Later.
Begin by choosing
Earlier. If too many warnings
are given, change to Normal.
If the driver feels that warnings are given too often, the warning level can be lowered. Thismeans that warnings will be provided later, result-ing in fewer warnings being given. The setting
Later should only used in exceptional
circumstances, e.g., for a more dynamic driving style.
WARNING
• No automatic system can be guaranteed to function 100% correctly in all situa-tions. For that reason, never test CitySafety by driving toward a person orobject. This could result in serious injuryor death.
• Even if the setting
Earlier has been
selected, warnings may be perceived as being given late, e.g., if the difference inspeed is great or if the vehicle aheadbrakes suddenly.
• City Safety can provide a warning for apotential collision but it can never shortenthe driver's reaction time.
• To help make City Safety as effective as possible, always using the setting
Earlieris recommended.
NOTE
•Due to local traffic regulations in certain markets, RCW will
not activate the rear
turn signals. That part of the function will be deactivated.
• The use of the rear turn signals will alsobe deactivated if the City Safety warning level is set at
Later. See also the section
"Setting a warning level (distance)" in the article "City Safety settings."
• If RCW detects a vehicle approachingfrom behind, the seat belt pretensioners

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.

City Safety™ troubleshooting
Messages pertaining to any possible problems with City Safety will be displayed in the instru-ment panel.
Troubleshooting and remedial action
Location of the camera and the radar sensor
If a message is displayed in the instrument panel saying that the camera/radar sensor is blocked,
City Safety cannot detect vehicles, cyclists orpedestrians ahead of you, which means that thesystem is not functioning properly. However, this message will not be displayed in all situations in which the camera/radar sensor isobstructed. For this reason, the driver mustensure that the area of the windshield in front ofthe camera/radar sensor is always kept clean. The following table shows some of the situationsthat can cause the message to be displayed andsuggested actions.
CauseAction
The area of the wind- shield in front of thecamera/radar sensor isdirty or covered by ice orsnow.Clean the wind- shield or removethe ice/ snow.
Thick fog or heavy rain/ snow blocks reduces thecamera/radar sensor'srange of visibility.No action. The driver should beextra alert in condi-tions of this type.
There is dirt between the inside of the wind-shield and the camera/radar sensor.Have the area of the windshieldcleaned by atrained and quali-fied Volvo servicetechnician.
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 isused, 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.

MaintenanceIn order for City Safety to function properly, the area of the windshield must be kept free of dirt,ice, snow, etc.
Other vehicle functionsIf a message is displayed in the instrument panel,this means that the other systems using the cam-era/radar sensor (see the list below) will not havefull functionality or may not function at all. The radar sensor is used by the following func- tions:
• Distance Alert
*
• Driver Alert Control
*
• Adaptive Cruise Control
*
• Pilot Assist
*
• Road Sign Information
*
• Active High Beams
*
• Lane Keeping Aid
