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. The camera and radar sensor is used by the fol- lowing functions: • Distance Alert

• Driver Alert Control

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, large animal, pedestrian or cyclist laterthan expected or 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.
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 at very low speed,such as when parking.
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.
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, large animals or other vehiclescorrectly.
• 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 relative speeds up to30 mph (50 km/h). For stationary orslow-moving vehicles, the system func-tions best at speeds up to approx.43 mph (70 km/h).
• If there is a risk of colliding with a largeanimal, City Safety can reduce the vehi-cle's speed by up to 9 mph (15 km/h).Warnings and braking are most effectiveat speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h) andless effective at lower speeds.

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.

Road Sign Information (RSI) *
RSI is a feature that helps the driver see road signs showing the posted speed limit.
Examples of readable road signs
If the vehicle passes a sign showing the speed limit, this will be displayed in the instrument panel and the head-up display *.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with the Sensus Navigation system, speed-related informationis provided by this system in the followinginstances:
• In cases where the speed limit is givenindirectly (e.g., when driving on highwaysor other major roads).
• If a previously read speed limit sign is nolonger considered valid and no new signhas been passed.
If a third-party navigation system is beingused, RSI has no support for speed-relatedinformation.
WARNING
RSI does not function in all situations and is only intended to provide supplementary infor-mation. The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle safely.
