WARNING
The function is supplementary driver sup-port intended to facilitate driving and helpmake it safer – it cannot handle all situa-tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-tions.
The driver is advised to read all sectionsin the Owner's Manual about this functionto learn of its limitations, which the drivermust be aware of before using the func-tion.
Driver support functions are not a substi-tute for the driver's attention and judg-ment. The driver is always responsible forensuring the vehicle is driven in a safemanner, at the appropriate speed, with anappropriate distance to other vehicles,and in accordance with current trafficrules and regulations.

City Safety parameters and sub-functions
City Safety can help avoid a collision with a vehi-cle, cyclist or large animal ahead by reducing thevehicle's speed using its automatic braking func-tion.
If the difference in speed is greater than thespeeds specified below, the City Safety auto-brake function cannot prevent a collision, but itcan help mitigate its effects.
Vehicles
City Safety can help prevent a collision with avehicle ahead by reducing your vehicle's speedby up to 60 km/h (37 mph).
Cyclists
City Safety can help prevent a collision with acyclist ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed byup to 50 km/h (30 mph).
Pedestrians
City Safety can help prevent a collision with apedestrian ahead by reducing your vehicle'sspeed by up to 45 km/h (28 mph).

Large animals
Optimal examples of what City Safety would interpret asa large animal: stationary or moving slowly and with clearbody contours.
If a large animal appears in front of the vehicle,Large Animal Detection, which is part of CitySafety, can in some cases alert the driver of theanimal and provide braking assistance.
For optimal performance, the system's functionfor detecting large animals (e.g. moose, horses,etc.) needs the clearest possible informationabout body contours. This entails being able todetect the animal straight from the side in combi-nation with normal movements for that animal.
If parts of the animal's body are not visible to thefunction's camera, the system will not be able todetect the animal.
City Safety can detect large animals even in darkconditions if they are illuminated by the vehicle'sheadlights.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support,but it cannot detect all large animals in all sit-uations and, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured larger animals.
larger animals seen from the front or frombehind.
running or fast moving larger animals.
larger animals if the contrast of the ani-mal's background is poor - warning andbrake interventions may then occur lateor not at all.
smaller animals such as cats and dogs.
The driver is always responsible for ensuringthat the vehicle is driven correctly and with asafety distance suitable for the speed.

City Safety in crossing traffic
City Safety can assist the driver when turning inthe path of an oncoming vehicle in an intersec-tion.
: Sector in which City Safety can detect an oncomingvehicle in crossing traffic.
In order for City Safety to detect an oncomingvehicle in situations where there is a risk of a col-lision, that vehicle must be within the sector inwhich City Safety can analyze the situation.
The following criteria must also be met:
your vehicle's speed must be at least 4 km/h(3 mph)
your vehicle must be making a left turn
the oncoming vehicle's headlights must beon

City Safety steering assistance forevasive maneuver
City Safety steering assistance can help thedriver steer away from a vehicle/obstacle when itis not possible to avoid a collision by brakingalone. City Safety steering assistance is alwaysactivated and cannot be switched off.
Your vehicle swerves away
Slow-moving/stationary vehicle or obstacle.
City Safety helps provide assistance by strength-ening the driver's steering movements, but only ifthe driver has begun evasive action and the sys-tem detects that the driver's steering movementsare not sufficient to avoid a collision.
The brake system is used simultaneously to fur-ther strengthen steering movements. The func-
tion also helps stabilize the vehicle after it haspassed the obstacle.
City Safety steering assistance can detect:
vehicles
cyclists
pedestrians
large animals

City Safety steering assistancelimitations during evasivemaneuvers
City Safety steering assistance may have limitedfunctionality in certain situations and not inter-vene, e.g.:
at speeds outside the range of 50-100 km/h(30-62 mph)
if the driver does not take evasive action
if speed-dependent power steering wheelresistance is working at reduced power – e.g.during cooling due to overheating.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera andradar sensor, which has certain general limita-tions.

City Safety and delayed evasivemaneuvers
City Safety can assist the driver by automaticallybraking the vehicle when it is not possible toavoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodicallyattempting 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 escaperoutes 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 automaticallyapply the brakes if it is possible for the driver toavoid a collision by steering the vehicle.

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 maydetect them later than expected.
Vehicles that are dirty may be detected later thanclean vehicles, and in dark conditions, motorcy-cles may be detected late or not at all.
If a text message displayed in the instrumentpanel indicates that the camera/radar sensor isobstructed, it may be difficult for City Safety todetect pedestrians, large animals, cyclists, vehi-cles or lane markings in front of the vehicle. CitySafety functionality may therefore be reduced.
Text messages may not be displayed for all situa-tions in which the windshield sensors areblocked. The driver must therefore always keepthe windshield in front of the camera/radar sen-sor clean.
CAUTION
Maintenance of driver support components
may only performed by a workshop50.
Driver intervention
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated when thevehicle is backing up.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speedsunder 4 km/h (3 mph). The system will thereforenot intervene in situations in which your vehicle isapproaching another vehicle very slowly, such aswhen parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. CitySafety will therefore not react or will react at alater stage with a warning or intervention in situa-tions in which the driver is clearly steering andoperating the accelerator pedal, even if a collisionis unavoidable.
An active and aware driving style may thereforedelay collision warnings and intervention in orderto minimize unnecessary warnings.
Other limitations
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions can betriggered late or not at all if the traffic sit-uation or external influences prevent thecamera and radar unit from properlydetecting pedestrians, cyclists, large ani-mals or vehicles ahead of the vehicle.
To be able to detect vehicles at night, itsfront and rear lights must work and illumi-nate clearly.
The camera and radar unit have a limitedrange for pedestrians and cyclists – thesystem can provide effective warningsand brake interventions if the relativespeed is lower than 50 km/h (30 mph).For stationary or slow-moving vehicles,warnings and brake interventions areeffective at vehicle speeds of up to70 km/h (43 mph). Speed reduction forlarge animals is less than 15 km/h(9 mph) and can be achieved at vehiclespeeds over 70 km/h (43 mph). At lowerspeeds, the warning and brake interven-tion for large animals is less effective.
Warnings for stationary or slow-movingvehicles and large animals can be disen-gaged due to darkness or poor visibility.
50An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

Warnings and brake interventions forpedestrians and cyclists are disengagedat vehicle speeds over 80 km/h(50 mph).
Do not place, affix or mount anything onthe inside or outside of the windshield, orin front of or around the camera andradar unit – this could disrupt camera-based functions.
Objects, snow, ice or dirt in the area ofthe camera sensor can reduce the func-tion, disengage it completely or give animproper function response.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera andradar sensor, which has certain general limita-tions.
