The driver is responsible for ensuring that the vehicle maintains a suitable distancefrom such obstacles.
• The camera and radar sensors do nothave the capacity to detect all oncomingobjects and obstacles in traffic environ-ments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstaclesor objects that completely or partiallyblock the route.
• Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
• The recommended steering input is lim-ited in force, which means that it cannotalways help the driver to steer and keepthe vehicle within the lane.
• Pilot Assist is switched off if the powersteering is working with reduced power -e.g. during cooling due to overheating(see section "Speed-dependent steeringforce").
The driver can always correct or adjust steeringassistance provided by Pilot Assist by turning thesteering wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsPilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven onflat roads. The function may not be able to main-tain the correct time interval to the vehicle aheadwhen driving down steep hills. The driver should be extra attentive and prepared to apply thebrakes.
• Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carry-ing a heavy load or towing a trailer.
NOTE
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer, bike carrier or similar is connected to thevehicle electrical system.
Other limitations
•
The Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected when Pilot Assist is activated.
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".

The previous illustration 68
shows that Pilot Assist
is set to maintain a speed of 110 km/h (68 mph) and that there is no target vehicle ahead to fol-low. In this example, Pilot Assist will provide steering assistance because it can detect the lane's sidemarking lines.

Recommended maintenance for thecamera/radar sensor
In order for the camera/radar sensor to function properly, the area of the windshield in front of theunit must be kept free of dirt, ice, snow, etc. andshould be washed regularly with water and carwashing detergent.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the camera and radar unit reduce their function and can makemeasurement impossible. It could cause functions to be reduced, deac- tivated completely or produce an incorrectfunction response.

City Safety
™
City Safety can alert the driver with light, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal to help thedriver detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animalsand vehicles that appear suddenly – the vehiclewill then attempt to automatically brake if thedriver does not act within a reasonable amountof time.
Location of the camera and radar sensor 74
.
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lower the vehicle's speed at the point of impact. City Safety is an aid intended to assist the driver if a collision with a pedestrian, large animal,cyclist or vehicle is imminent. City Safety can help the driver avoid a collision when e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, when changes in the traffic ahead and driver distractioncould lead to an incident. The function assists the driver by automatically applying the brakes if there is an imminent risk ofa collision and the driver does not react in time bybraking and/or steering away. City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in an attempt to stop your vehicle immediately behindthe vehicle or object ahead. City Safety is activated in situations in which the driver should have applied the brakes much ear-lier, which means that the system will not be ableto assist the driver in all situations. City Safety is designed to be activated as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary intervention. Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safety except when the systemintervenes when a collision is imminent.

Recommended maintenance forBLIS
•For optimal performance, it is important to keep the areas in front of the sensors clean.
• Do not attach any objects, tape or decals tothe surface of the sensors.
Keep this area clean (on both the left and right sides of the vehicle) 83
.
The BLIS sensors are located on the inside of each of the rear fenders/bumpers and are alsoused by the Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) and RearCollision Warning functions.
CAUTION
Repair of BLIS and CTA components or repainting of the bumper may only be per-formed by a workshop – an authorized Volvoworkshop is recommended.

Cross Traffic Alert *
CTA 85
is a supplementary driver support system
to BLIS 86
that is intended to help the driver
detect vehicles crossing behind the vehicle while backing up.
CTA overview.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic cross- ing from the side, e.g. when backing out of aparking space. CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles, but in certain cases can also detect pedestrians orsmaller objects such as bicycles. CTA is only active when the vehicle is moving backward or if reverse gear is engaged. If CTA detects that something is approachingyour vehicle from the side:
• an audible signal will sound from either theleft or right speaker, depending on whichside of your vehicle the object is approachingfrom.
• an icon will illuminate in the PAS 87
graphic
on the screen.
• an icon will appear in the Park Assist Cam-era's Top view.

WARNING
• The Cross Traffic Alert function is supple- mentary driver support intended to facili-tate driving and make it safer – it cannothandle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
• The responsibility for reversing the vehiclesafely and using good judgment alwaysrests with the driver.
• Cross Traffic Alert is not a substitute forthe driver's attention and judgment. Thedriver is always responsible for ensuringthe vehicle is driven in a safe manner, atthe appropriate speed, with an appropri-ate distance to other vehicles, and inaccordance with current traffic rules andregulations.

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 106
) 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.
