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 notbe 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 keptfree of dirt, ice, snow, etc. and should be washedregularly with a suitable car washing detergent.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and/or snow covering the cameraand radar sensors reduce functionality andmay disable the vehicle's camera-/radar-based systems.
This can also result in certain functions beingreduced or disabled, or they may respondincorrectly.

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.

City Safety™
City Safety™ is a support system designed tohelp alert the driver to pedestrians, cyclists, largeanimals and vehicles that may appear suddenlyin front of your vehicle by providing visual, audi-ble and haptic alerts. The vehicle will brake auto-matically if the driver is unable to react quicklyenough.
City Safety introduction
Location of the camera and radar sensor (generic illus-tration)
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lowerthe vehicle's speed at the point of impact.
WARNING
•City Safety™ is a supplemental aid to thedriver. It can never replace the driver

WARNING
Warnings will only be provided if there is animminent risk of a collision taking place. Thedriver should be aware of the system's limita-tions before operating the vehicle.
Warnings and automatic braking for pedes-trians and cyclists are deactivated at speedsabove approx. 43 mph (70 km/h).
City Safety's auto-brake function can helpprevent a collision or reduce the speed atwhich a collision occurs. However, the drivershould always apply the brakes, even if auto-brake is operating.
The driver is always responsible for maintain-ing the correct speed and distance in relationto the vehicle ahead. Never wait for a collisionwarning or for City Safety to intervene.
City Safety does not activate the auto-brakefunction during fast acceleration.
City Safety maintenance may only be carriedout by a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
Function overview
Audio-visual collision warning
Distance monitoring by a camera and radarsensor
When triggered, City Safety carries out threesteps in the following order:
1.Collision warning
2.Brake assistance
3.Auto-brake
1: Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an immi-nent collision.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists orvehicles that are stationary, are moving in thesame direction as your vehicle or are in your vehi-cle's path.
City Safety can also detect pedestrians, large ani-mals or cyclists that are crossing in front of yourvehicle.
If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian,cyclist, large animal or a vehicle, as well as vehi-cles described in the article "City Safety in cross-ing traffic," the driver will be alerted by a flashingred warning signal, an audible signal and a hapticwarning in the form of pulsations in the brakepedal. At lower speeds, during hard braking or ifthe accelerator pedal is pressed, the haptic warn-ing will not be given.
2: Brake assistance
If the risk of a collision increases, brake supportwill be activated.
This function increases pressure on the brakepedal if the driver does not apply enough pres-sure to the pedal.
3: Auto-brake
The brakes will be applied automatically.
If the driver has not taken action at this stage anda collision is imminent, auto-braking will be trig-gered. Full braking effect will be used to avoidthe collision if possible or to make the speed atthe point of impact as low as possible.
In certain situations, auto-braking may begin withlimited effect before full braking is used.
If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehi-cle will be kept at a standstill until the driver

The following table shows some of the situationsthat can cause the message to be displayed andsuggested actions.
CauseAction
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.

Do not mount or in any way attach anything onthe windshield that could obstruct the camera/radar sensor.
WARNING
•The camera has the same type of limita-tions as the human eye, i.e., it cannot seeas well in heavy snowfall or rain, thick fogor in heavy blowing dust or snow. In suchconditions, systems depending on thecamera may experience greatly reducedfunctionality or may be temporarily deacti-vated.
•Never place any objects, decals, etc., onthe windshield in front of the camera. Thiscould reduce or block the camera
