• bad 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 thesteering wheel after the audible signal, PilotAssist will go into standby mode and must be reactivated by pressing

In standby mode, the driver will have to regulate the vehicle's speed and the distance to the vehi-cle ahead. When Pilot Assist is in standby mode and your vehicle comes too close to another vehicle, thedriver will be alerted by the Distance Alert func-tion.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist is temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode if:
• the brakes are applied
• The gear selector is moved to
N
• the turn signals are used for more than1 minute
• the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute.
A temporary increase in speed, such as whenpassing another vehicle, does not affect the PilotAssist set speed. The vehicle will return to the setspeed when the accelerator pedal is released. When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist's steering function will be temporarily deactivated.When this is no longer the case, the steeringfunction will reactivate if the traffic lane's sidemarker lines can still be detected.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist interacts with other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control. If any of these other systems 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 vehicle's speed is below approx. 3 mph(5 km/h) and Pilot Assist cannot determine ifa vehicle ahead is a stationary vehicle or anobject.
• the vehicle's speed is below approx. 3 mph(5 km/h) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatPilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow(target vehicle).
• the driver's hands are not on the steeringwheel
• the driver's door is opened
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt
• engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
• the wheels lose traction
• brake temperature is too high
• the parking brake is set •

CauseAction
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 qualified Volvo service technician.
Strong backlighting No action required. The came will reset automatically when lightingconditions 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.
• This can also result in certain functionsbeing reduced or disabled, or they mayrespond incorrectly.
To help avoid the risk of incorrect, reduced ordisabled functionality for driver support sys-tems using the camera or radar sensors:
• Volvo recommends that cracks, scratchesor 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.
After the windshield has been replaced, thecamera/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.

298If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehi- cle will be kept at a standstill until the drivertakes action. If the vehicle has slowed to avoidcolliding with the vehicle ahead, your speed willbe reduced to that vehicle's speed. When auto-brake is triggered, the seat belt pre- tensioners may also be activated, see the article"Seat belts" for additional information. Auto-braking can be cancelled if the driver presses hard on the accelerator pedal. When City Safety applies the brakes, the brake lights will illuminate. When City Safety is triggered and applies the brakes, a text message will be displayed in theinstrument panel.

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 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, Rear Collision Warning (RCW) will
not activate the rear turn signals.
That part of the function will be deacti- vated.
• The use of the rear turn signals will alsobe deactivated if the City Safety warning level is set at
Later. See also the section

Rear Collision Warning (RCW)The
Rear Collision Warning with braking at
standstill (RCW) function can help the driver
avoid rear-end collisions.
RCW is activated automatically each time the engine is started. RCW can warn the driver of a vehicle approach- ing yours from behind by rapidly flashing yourturn signals. RCW is only activated when a vehicle is rapidly approaching your vehicle from behind. At speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h), if RCW determines that your vehicle is at risk of a rear-end collision, the front seat belt pretensionersand the Whiplash Protection System are acti-vated. Just prior to the collision, the brakes are also applied to help reduce your vehicle's forwardmovement if and when the collision occurs. How-ever, this can only happen if your vehicle is sta-tionary. The brakes will be released immediately if the accelerator pedal is pressed.
NOTE
• Due to local traffic regulations in certain markets, Rear Collision Warning (RCW) will
not activate the rear turn signals.
That part of the function will be deacti- vated.
• 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 pretensionersand Whiplash Protection System will beactivated.
LimitationsIn some circumstances, it may be difficult for RCW to help the driver if there is a risk of a colli-sion, such as: •If the vehicle approaching from the rear is detected at a late stage
• If the vehicle approaching from the rearchanges lanes at a late stage
• If the vehicle approaching from the rear ismoving at a speed above approx. 50 mph(80 km/h)

Blind Spot Information (BLIS) *
Blind Spot Information is a system designed to alert the driver to the presence of other vehiclesmoving in the same direction as your vehicle onroads with several lanes.
Blind Spot Information is a driving aid intended to:
• detect other vehicles in your door mirrors'"blind area"
• detect vehicles that are about to pass yourvehicle or are approaching your vehiclequickly from behind in the left and/or rightlanes
WARNING
•
Blind Spot Information is an information system, NOT a warning or safety systemand does not function in all situations.
• Blind Spot Information does not eliminatethe need for you to visually confirm theconditions around you, and the need foryou to turn your head and shoulders tomake sure that you can safely changelanes or back up.
• As the driver, you have full responsibilityfor changing lanes/backing up in a safemanner.
Overview
Blind Spot Information indicators
Indicator light
BLIS button in the center display's Function view to activate/deactivate the function
The indicator light illuminates on the side of thevehicle where the system has detected anothervehicle. If your vehicle is passed on both sides atthe same time, both lights will illuminate.
Principle for Blind Spot Information: Zone 1. Blind area, Zone 2. Area for approaching/passing vehicles
Blind Spot Information functions when your vehi- cle is moving at speeds above approx. 6 mph(10 km/h). Blind Spot Information is designed to react to:
• vehicles that are passing your vehicle
• other vehicles that are rapidly approaching your vehicle
When Blind Spot Information detects a vehicle inzone 1 or a fast-approaching vehicle in zone 2,the indicator light in the respective door mirrorwill glow steadily. If the driver then uses the turn signal on the side on which the warning is given, the indicator lightwill begin flashing and become brighter.
