CauseAction
Water or snow is spraying/swirling up and blocking the radar signals or the camera's range of visibility. No action. Very wet or snow-covered roads may sometimes prevent the cam-era/radar sensor from functioning.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radarsensor. Consult a workshop to have the area of the windshield on the inside of the cam-era's casing cleaned. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE
Keep the windshield in front of the camera and radar unit clean.
Vehicle speedThe radar sensor's ability to detect a vehicle ahead is significantly reduced if:
• the speed of the vehicle ahead differs greatlyfrom your vehicle's speed
Limited field of visionThe radar sensor has a limited field of vision. Insome situations, it may detect a vehicle later thanexpected or not at all.
The radar sensor's field of vision.
The radar sensor's detection of vehicles very close to your vehicle may be delayed in cer-tain situations, e.g. if a vehicle pulls in between your vehicle and the vehicle directlyahead.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehi- cles that are not driving in the center of thelane may remain undetected.
In curves, the radar may detect the wrong vehicle or lose sight of a target vehicle.
Low trailers
Low trailer in the radar shadow.
Low trailers may also be difficult or even impossi- ble for the radar to detect. The driver should beextra alert when driving behind vehicles towing low trailers when Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist is activated.

• Adaptive Cruise Control
*
• Pilot Assist
*
• Lane Keeping Aid
*
• Steering assistance at risk of collision
• City Safety
• Driver Alert Control
*
• Road Sign Information

City Safety and delayed evasivemaneuvers City Safety can assist the driver by automatically braking the vehicle when it is not possible toavoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodically attempting to predict possible "escape routes" tothe sides of the vehicle in the event a slow-mov-ing or stationary vehicle were to be detected at alate stage.
Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape routes for veering away from the vehicle ahead (2) andmay therefore apply the brakes at an earlier stage.
Own vehicle
Slow-moving/stationary vehicles
City Safety will not intervene to automatically apply the brakes if it is possible for the driver toavoid a collision by steering the vehicle. However, if City Safety determines that an eva-sive maneuver would not be possible due to traf-fic in the adjacent lane(s), the function can assistthe driver by automatically starting to apply thebrakes at an earlier stage.
WARNING
•
The possibility of City Safety predicting a certain situation is supplementary driversupport intended to improve driving safety– it cannot handle all situations in all traf-fic, weather and road conditions.
• City Safety is not a substitute for the driv-er's attention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
Limitations of City Safety during evasive maneuvers
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera unit, which has some general limitations – see thesection "Camera unit limitations".
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar unit, which has some general limitations – see thesection "Radar unit limitations".

BLIS*
The BLIS 74
function is designed to help provide
assistance in heavy traffic with several lanes moving in the same direction by helping thedriver to detect the presence of vehicles in the"blind spot" area behind and to the side of thevehicle.
BLIS is a driver support system designed to alert the driver of:
• vehicles in your "blind spot"
• vehicles approaching rapidly in adjacentlanes.

The BLIS button in the center display's Func- tion view is used to activate/deactivate thefunction.
BLIS overview
Blind spot zone
Rapidly approaching vehicle zone.
The BLIS function is active at speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph). The system is designed to react to: • vehicles passing your vehicle
• vehicles that are rapidly approaching your vehicle from behind.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a rap- idly approaching vehicle in zone 2, an indicatorlight will illuminate in the relevant rearview mirrorand glow steadily. If the driver then uses the turnsignal on the side in which the warning has been

Driver Alert Control limitations
Driver Alert Control (DAC) functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
In certain situations, the system may provide a warning even if it has not detected a change indriving behavior, e.g.:
• in strong crosswinds
• on grooved road surfaces.
WARNING
In certain cases, driving behavior might not be affected despite the driver's fatigue – whenusing the Pilot Assist function – resulting inthe driver not getting a warning from DAC. It is therefore very important to always stop and take a break at the slightest sign of fati-gue, regardless of whether the DAC functionhas issued a warning or not.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera unit, which has some general limitations – see thesection "Camera unit limitations".

Lane Keeping Aid
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA 103
) is designed to
actively steer the vehicle on freeways, highways and other major roads to help the driver reducethe risk of the vehicle unintentionally veering outof the lane.
Lake Keeping Assistance steers the vehicle back into the lane and/or alerts the driver using vibra-tions in the steering wheel. Lane Keeping Aid is active at speeds between 65-200 km/h (40-125 mph) on roads withclearly visible traffic lane marker lines. On narrow roads, the function may be unavailable and go into standby mode. The function willbecome available again when the road becomessufficiently wide.
A camera monitors the road/traffic lane's marker lines.

In certain demanding driving conditions, Lane Keeping Aid may not be able to properly assistthe driver. In these situations, it is recommendedthat the function be deactivated.
Examples of such situations include:
• road work
• winter driving conditions
• poor road surfaces
• a very sporty driving style
• bad weather with reduced visibility
• roads with indistinct or no lane markings
• sharp edges or lines other than the lane's side markings
• when the power steering works at reducedpower - e.g. during cooling due to overheat-ing (see section "Speed-dependent steeringforce").
