CauseAction
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 qualifiedVolvo service technician.
Strong backlightingNo action required. The came will reset automatically when lightingconditions improve.

High temperatures
If the temperature in the passenger compartmentis 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 Safetymay 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 frontof the camera/radar sensor should not
be repaired; in such cases, the entirewindshield 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.

Maintenance
In order for camera and radar sensor to functionproperly, the area of the windshield must be kept

When City Safety applies the brakes, the brakelights will illuminate.
When City Safety is triggered and applies thebrakes, a text message will be displayed in theinstrument panel.

City Safety warning level settings
City Safety is always activated but the function'swarning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
City Safety cannot be turned off and activatesautomatically each time the engine/electricmotor is started.

Setting a warning level (distance)
The distance set for warnings determines thesystem'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 Topview.
2.Tap My CarIntelliSafeCity Safety.
3.Choose among Earlier, Normal or Later.
Begin by choosing Earlier. If too many warningsare given, change to Normal.
If the driver feels that warnings are given toooften, 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 exceptionalcircumstances, e.g., for a more dynamic drivingstyle.
WARNING
•No automatic system can be guaranteedto 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 beenselected, warnings may be perceived asbeing 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 aspossible, always using the setting Earlieris recommended.

NOTE
•Due to local traffic regulations in certainmarkets, RCW will not activate the rearturn signals. That part of the function willbe deactivated.
•The use of the rear turn signals will alsobe deactivated if the City Safety warninglevel is set at Later. See also the section"Setting a warning level (distance)" in thearticle "City Safety settings."
•If RCW detects a vehicle approachingfrom behind, the seat belt pretensioners

Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
The Rear Collision Warning with braking atstandstill (RCW) function can help the driveravoid rear-end collisions.
RCW is activated automatically each time theengine 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 rapidlyapproaching your vehicle from behind.
At speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h), if RCWdetermines 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 alsoapplied 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 theaccelerator pedal is pressed.

NOTE
•Due to local traffic regulations in certainmarkets, RCW will not activate the rearturn signals. That part of the function willbe deactivated.
•The use of the rear turn signals will alsobe deactivated if the City Safety warninglevel is set at Later. See also the section"Setting a warning level (distance)" in thearticle "City Safety settings."
•If RCW detects a vehicle approachingfrom behind, the seat belt pretensionersand Whiplash Protection System will beactivated.

Limitations
In some circumstances, it may be difficult forRCW to help the driver if there is a risk of a colli-sion, such as:
•If the vehicle approaching from the rear isdetected 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)

Park Assist*
The Park Assist system is designed to assist youwhen driving into parking spaces, garages, etc.An audible signal and symbols in the instrumentpanel and center display indicate the distance tothe object.
Display view showing object zones and sensor sectors
The center display shows an overview of the vehi-cle in relation to objects that have been detected.
The highlighted sector shows which of the sen-sors has detected the object. The closer thehighlighted sector is to the vehicle symbol, thecloser the actual object is to your vehicle.
The Park Assist system uses an intermittent tonethat pulses faster as you come closer to anobject. Sound from the infotainment system willbe temporarily turned down.
The audible signals for objects in front of and tothe sides are active while the vehicle is movingand will stop after the vehicle has been stoppedfor approx. 2 seconds. The audible signals forobjects behind the vehicle are active even whenthe vehicle has stopped moving.
The audible signal becomes constant when youare within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an objectand the highlighted sensor field is filled in.
While an audible signal is being given, its volumelevel can be raised/lowered using the >II controlin the center console or can be adjusted in thecenter displays Top view under Settings.

NOTE
Audible alerts will only be provided for objectsthat are directly in the vehicle's path.

WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT asafety system. This system is designed to bea supplementary aid when parking the vehicle.It is not, however, intended to replace the driv-er's attention and judgement.
Rear park assist
The system's rear sensors are activated automat-ically when the engine is started and are active ifthe vehicle rolls rearward with the gear selectorin N or if R has been selected.
The distance monitored behind the vehicle isapproximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signalcomes from the rear speakers.
The rear sensors will be deactivated automaticallywhen towing a trailer if Volvo genuine trailer wir-ing is used. If a non-Volvo trailer hitch is beingused, it may be necessary to switch off the sys-tem manually.
