Active high beams may be temporarily unavailable (e.g., in heavy fog or rain). When the systembecomes active again or if the sensors in thewindshield are no longer obscured, the messages will disappear and the
symbol will illumi-
nate.
WARNING
• Automatic high beams are a driving aid designed to help provide the best possi-ble headlight illumination in good drivingconditions.
• The use of aftermarket or non-Volvoglass can have an adverse effect on theautomatic high beam function.
• The driver is always responsible for man-ually toggling between high and lowbeams when this is required by traffic orweather conditions.
CAUTION
In the following situations, it may be neces- sary to switch between high and low beamsmanually:
• 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 frontlighting
• 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

Corner illuminationThe front fog lights include corner illumination, which temporarily provides extra light to the frontleft or right of the vehicle (depending on whichway the vehicle is turned) when making a sharpturn at low speeds (for example, when turninginto a parking space) or when the turn signals areused. This function is activated in darkness or in poor daylight conditions when the lighting ring on the left-side steering wheel lever is in the
or
positions when the vehicle's speed is
under approx. 20 mph (30 km/h). When the vehicle is backing up, corner illumina- tion also switches on to supplement the backuplight. Corner illumination is activated by default and can be deactivated/reactivated in the center dis-play.

CAUTION
•Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield. The windshield should bethoroughly wet when the wipers are inoperation.
• Avoid using the washers if the fluid reser-voir is frozen or empty to help avoid dam-age to the pump.
When the washing system is used, the length of time that the windshield washers operatedepends on the ambient temperature. In coldweather, the amount of washer fluid used willalso be increased automatically to help improvecleaning.
Heated washer nozzles
*The washer nozzles are heated automatically incold weather to help prevent the washer fluidfrom freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing *High-pressure headlight washing consumes alarge quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid, theheadlights are washed once for every five timesthe windshield is washed.
Reduced washingWhen approx. 1 US quart (1 liter) of washer fluidremains in the reservoir, the headlights will nolonger be washed to conserve fluid. A text message and the
symbol will be dis-
played in the instrument panel to remind the driver to fill the washer fluid reservoir.

Detecting obstructions with City Safety
City Safety can detect vehicles, cyclists, large animals and pedestrians.
VehiclesCity Safety detects most types of vehicles that are either stationary, moving in the same direc-tion as your vehicle or those described in the arti-cle "City Safety in crossing traffic." 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 notvisible 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 and cannot detect all cyclists in allsituations, such as:
• a partially obscured cyclist.
• a cyclist whose clothing prevents a clear view 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.• If major parts of the pedestrian's body arenot 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 entire body and the person must be at least 32 in.(80 cm) tall.
• City Safety can also help detect pedestriansin dark conditions if they are in the path ofthe vehicle's headlights.
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.
Large animals
Examples of what City Safety considers to be large ani- mals: stationary or moving slowly with clear body con-tours
To function optimally, the system feature for detecting large animals (moose, horses, etc.)must receive as clear information about bodycontours as possible. This entails being able todetect the animal straight from the side andassumes that the animal has a normal pattern ofmovement. If parts of the animal's body are hidden from the camera, the system cannot detect this animal. City Safety can also help detect large animals in dark conditions if they are in the path of the vehi-cle's headlights.
