Pilot Assist uses approx. 40% of the vehicle's
braking capacity. If a situation requires more
braking force than Pilot Assist can provide, and if
the driver does not apply the brakes, a warning
light and audible warning signal will be activated
to alert the driver that immediate action is
required. 62

NOTEVisual warnings on the windshield may be dif-
ficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight,
reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if the
driver is wearing sunglasses or is not looking
straight ahead.
WARNING
Pilot Assist only issues a warning for vehicles
detected by its camera and radar unit – thus,
a warning may come after a delay or not at all.
•
Never wait for a warning. Apply the
brakes when necessary!

Pilot Assist (p. 311) Activating and starting Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist must first be activated and then
started before it can regulate speed and dis-
tance and provide steering assistance.
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary
depending on model.
To start Pilot Assist:
•
The driver's seat belt must be buckled and
the driver's door must be closed.
• There must be a vehicle ahead (target vehi-
cle) within a reasonable distance or your
vehicle's current speed must be at least
15 km/h (9 mph). 64

324 The driver is responsible for ensuring that
the vehicle maintains a suitable distance
from such obstacles.
• The camera and radar sensors do not
have the capacity to detect all oncoming
objects and obstacles in traffic environ-
ments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstacles
or objects that completely or partially
block the route.
• Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,
animals, etc.
• The recommended steering input is lim-
ited in force, which means that it cannot
always help the driver to steer and keep
the vehicle within the lane.
• Pilot Assist is switched off if the power
steering is working with reduced power -
e.g. during cooling due to overheating
(see section "Speed-dependent steering
force").
The driver can always correct or adjust steering
assistance provided by Pilot Assist by turning the
steering wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsPilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven on
flat roads. The function may not be able to main-
tain the correct time interval to the vehicle ahead
when driving down steep hills. The driver should be extra attentive and prepared to apply the
brakes.
• 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 the
vehicle 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 the
section "Camera unit limitations".
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar unit,
which has some general limitations – see the
section "Radar unit limitations".

Radar sensor limitations
The radar sensor used by several of the driver
support functions has certain limitations, which
also affect the functions using the radar sensor.
Obstructed camera The area marked in the illustration must be kept free of
decals, objects, solar film, etc.
70 The radar sensor is located on the upper interior
section of the windshield along with the camera.
CAUTION Do not place, affix or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windshield, or in front
of or around the camera and radar unit – this
could disrupt camera and radar-based func-
tions.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deac-
tivated completely or produce an incorrect
function response. If this symbol and the message
"
Windscreen sensor Sensor
blocked, see Owner's manual" is
displayed in the instrument panel, it
means that the camera and radar sensor are
unable to detect other vehicles, cyclists, pedes-
trians and large animals in front of the vehicle
and that the vehicle's camera and radar-based
functions may be obstructed, reduced, completely
disabled or providing inaccurate responses. The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the mess\
age to be displayed, and suggested actions:
Cause
Action
The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is dirty \
or
covered by ice or snow. Clean the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor and remove dirt\
, ice
and snow.
Thick fog, heavy rain or snow is blocking the radar signals or the camer\
a's
range of visibility. No action. Heavy precipitation may sometimes prevent the camera/radar se\
nsor
from functioning.70

el.

3 - Auto-brake
The automatic braking function is activated at the
last moment.
If the driver has not taken evasive action by this
stage and a collision is imminent, the automatic
braking function will be triggered. This occurs
whether or not the driver is pressing the brake
pedal. Full braking force will be applied to reduce
the speed at impact or reduced braking effect will
be applied if this is sufficient to avoid the colli-
sion.
The seat belt tensioners may be activated along
with the automatic braking function. See "Seat
belt tensioners" for more information.
In certain situations, auto-braking may begin with
a limited braking force before applying full brak-
ing force.
If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehi-
cle will be kept at a standstill until the driver
takes action. If the vehicle has slowed to avoid
colliding with a slower-moving vehicle ahead, your
speed will be reduced to that vehicle's speed.
Auto-braking can always be cancelled if the
driver presses hard on the accelerator pedal.
NOTE
When City Safety activates the brakes, the
brake lights come on. When City Safety applies the brakes, a text mes-
sage will appear in the instrument panel to notify
the driver that the function is/was activated.
WARNING
City Safety may not be used to change how
the driver operates the vehicle. The driver
must not only rely on City Safety to brake the
vehicle.

City Safety™ (p. 335) Setting a warning distance for City
Safety
City Safety is always active, but the function's
warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE The City Safety function cannot be deacti-
vated. It is activated automatically each time
the engine/electric motor is started.
The alert distance determines the sensitivity of
the system and regulates the distance at which
the light, sound and brake pulsations will be acti-
vated.
To select warning distance:
1.

Select Settings My Car IntelliSafe
in
the center display's Top view.
2. Under City Safety Warning, tap Late,
Normal or Early to set the desired warning distance.
If the driver feels that the Early setting is giving
too many warnings or finds them irritating, the
Normal or Late warning distance settings can
be selected instead.
If the driver feels that the warnings are too fre-
quent and distracting, the warning distance can
be reduced. This will reduce the total number of
warnings, but it will also result in City Safety pro-
viding warnings at a later stage.

344City Safety limitations
City Safety functionality may be reduced in cer-
tain situations.
Surroundings
Low objects
Hanging objects, such as flags for overhanging
loads or accessories such as auxiliary lights or
front protective grids that extend beyond the
height of the hood, may limit City Safety function-
ality.
Slippery road conditions
The extended braking distance on slippery roads
may reduce City Safety's capacity to help avoid a
collision. In these types of situations, the Anti-
lock Braking System and Electronic Stability Con-
trol (ESC 77
) will help provide optimal braking
power with maintained stability.
Backlighting
The visual warning signal in the windshield may
be difficult to detect in bright sunlight, if there are
reflections, or if the driver is wearing sunglasses
or not looking straight ahead.
Heat
If the temperature in the passenger compartment
is high due to e.g. bright sunlight, the visual warn-
ing signal in the windshield may be temporarily
disabled.
Camera and radar sensor's field of vision
The camera's field of vision is limited and in cer-
tain situations, it may be unable to detect pedes-
trians, large animals, cyclists or vehicles, or it may
detect them later than expected.
Vehicles that are dirty may be detected later than
clean vehicles, and in dark conditions, motorcy-
cles may be detected late or not at all.
If a text message displayed in the instrument
panel indicates that the camera/radar sensor is
obstructed, it may be difficult for City Safety to
detect pedestrians, large animals, cyclists, vehi-
cles or lane markings in front of the vehicle. City
Safety functionality may therefore be reduced.
Text messages may not be displayed for all situa-
tions in which the windshield sensors are
blocked. The driver must therefore always keep
the windshield in front of the camera/radar sen-
sor clean.
CAUTION Maintenance and replacement of City Safety
components may only be performed by a
workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is
recommended.
Driver intervention
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated when the
vehicle is backing up.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds
under 4 km/h (3 mph). The system will therefore
not intervene in situations in which your vehicle is
approaching another vehicle very slowly, such as
when parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. City
Safety will therefore not react or will react at a
later stage with a warning or intervention in situa-
tions in which the driver is clearly steering and
operating the accelerator pedal, even if a collision
is unavoidable.
An active and aware driving style may therefore
delay collision warnings and intervention in order
to minimize unnecessary warnings.
