WARNING
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance sys- tem. The driver is always responsible forsteering or applying the brakes if the systemdoes not detect another vehicle. Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding driving conditions such as city driving or other heavytraffic situations, in slippery conditions, whenthere is a great deal of water or slush on theroad, during heavy rain or snow, in poor visibil-ity, on winding roads or on highway on- or off-ramps. In certain situations, it may be difficult for Pilot Assist to assist the driver correctly or to deac-tivate automatically. In such cases, it is advisa-ble not to use Pilot Assist. Examples of suchsituations may be:
• 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.
• there are edges or other lines on or nearthe lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repairedareas, sharp shadows, etc.
• the lane is narrow or winding.
• the lane is at the top of a hill, on anuneven road surface or over a bump.
•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.
The driver can always take action to override PilotAssist.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsPilot Assist is primarily intended for use on rela-tively level roads. The function may not be able tomaintain the correct time interval to the vehicleahead on when driving down steep hills. Thedriver should be attentive and prepared to applythe brakes in these situations. Do not use Pilot Assist when the vehicle is trans-porting a heavy load or if it is towing a trailer.
Additional information
•
The Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected if Pilot Assist is activated.
• Pilot Assist uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which have certain general limi-tations. See the articles "Camera limitations"and "Radar sensor limitations" for additionalinformation.

Pilot Assist symbols and messages
A number of Pilot Assist symbols and/or mes- sages may appear in the instrument panel or the head-up display *.
Several examples 4
are provided here.
In this illustration, Pilot Assist is set at 65 mph (110 km/h) and there is no target vehicle ahead. In this example, Pilot Assist will not provide steer- ing assistance because it cannot detect the traf-fic lane's side marker lines.
In this illustration, Pilot Assist is set at 65 mph (110 km/h) and there is a target vehicle aheadthat is traveling at the same speed.

City Safety when evasive action is not possible
City Safety can help the driver by automatically braking the vehicle sooner if it is not possible tosteer out of a potential collision situation.
City Safety assists the driver by continuously try- ing to determine possible "escape routes" to thesides if a slow-moving or stationary vehicle aheadis detected at a late stage.
Your vehicle (1) cannot "see" any way of veering to avoid the vehicle ahead (2) and will attempt to auto-brake sooner
Your vehicle
Slow moving/stationary vehicle
City Safety will not trigger the auto-brake func- tion as long as the driver has a chance to avoid acollision by steering the vehicle. However, if City Safety determines that an eva-sive steering maneuver is not possible due to alack of space in the adjacent traffic lanes, thefunction will attempt to assist the driver by auto-matically applying the brakes considerablysooner.
WARNING
City Safety's capacity to assess certain traffic situations is a supplemental aid to the driverand does not function in all driving/traffic sit-uations or weather/road conditions. It cannever replace the driver

The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed andsuggested actions.
Cause
Action
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. Thedriver should beextra alert in condi-tions of this type.
There is dirt betweenthe inside of the wind-shield and the camera/radar sensor. Have the area ofthe 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.
• 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, use the 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.
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.

Driving lane assistance provides vibrations in the steer- ing wheel7
.
Depending on the settings used, Lane Keeping Aid functions in different ways:
• Assistance type
Assist8
is activated: when
the vehicle approaches a traffic lane marker line, LKA will provide active steering assis-tance to help steer it back into the lane.
• Assistance type
Warning8
is activated: if the
vehicle is moving out of its traffic lane, an audible signal and/or vibrations in the steer-ing wheel will be provided.
NOTE
If the turn signal is used, Lane Keeping Aid will not provide an alert or steering assis-
tance.
WARNING
Lane Keeping Aid is only intended to assist the driver and does not function in all driving,weather, traffic or road conditions. As the driver, you have full responsibility for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
Steering assistanceIn order for LKA's steering assistance to function, the driver's hands must be on the steering wheel,which the system monitors continuously.
If the driver's hands are not onthe steering wheel, this symbolwill illuminate in the instrumentpanel and the following mes-sage will be displayed:
•Lane Keeping Aid – Apply steering
If the driver does not begin to steer the vehicle, the symbol will illuminate again, an audible signal will sound and the following message will be dis-played:
•
Lane Keeping Aid – Standby until
steering applied
If the driver still does not begin to steer the vehi- cle, LKA will go into standby mode. The functionwill not become available again until the driveractively steers the vehicle
Traffic lane assistance does not react
The traffic lane assistance system does not intervene in sharp curves
In certain cases, such as during active driving or if the turn signal is used, the traffic lane system will not react if the vehicle crosses a lane marker
line.
7 The level of vibrations varies; the farther the vehicle is over a lane marker line, the greater the number of vibrations:
