CauseAction
Water or snow is spraying/swirling up and blocking the radar signalsor the camera's range of visibility.No action. Very wet or snow-covered roads may sometimes prevent the camera/radar sensor from functioning.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar sensor.Consult a workshop to have the area of the windshield on the inside of the camera'scasing cleaned. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Bright sunlight.No action. The camera/radar sensor will reset automatically when lighting conditionsimprove.

High temperatures
If the temperature in the passenger compartmentis very high, the camera/radar sensor will switchoff temporarily for approx. 15 minutes after theengine is started to protect its electronic compo-nents. When the temperature has cooled suffi-ciently, the camera/radar sensor will automati-cally restart.

Damaged windshield
NOTE
Failure to take action could result in reducedperformance for the driver support systemsthat use the camera and radar unit. It couldcause functions to be reduced, deactivatedcompletely or to produce an incorrect func-tion response.
To avoid the risk of loss of function, malfunctionor reduced function of the driver support systemsthat use the radar sensor, the following alsoapply:
If there are cracks, scratches or stone chipson the windshield in front of any of the cam-era and radar sensor "windows" and this cov-ers an area of about 0.5 × 3.0 mm(0.02 × 0.12 in.) or more, contact a workshop
to have the windshield replaced45.
Volvo advises against repairing cracks,scratches or stone chips in the area in frontof the camera and radar sensor – the entirewindshield should instead be replaced.
Before replacing the windshield, contact a
workshop45 to verify that the right windshieldhas been ordered and installed.
The same type of windshield wipers or wip-ers approved by Volvo should be used forreplacement.
If the windshield is replaced, the camera andradar sensor must be recalibrated by a work-
shop45 to help ensure proper functioning ofall of the vehicle's camera and radar-basedsystems.
Radar
Vehicle speed
The radar sensor's ability to detect a vehicleahead is significantly reduced if the speed of thevehicle ahead differs greatly from your vehicle'sspeed.

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).

and lower body in combination with normalhuman movements.
If large portions of the cyclist's body or the bicy-cle itself are not visible to the function's camera,it will not be able to detect a cyclist.
The system can only detect adult cyclists ridingon bicycles intended for adults.

WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support,but it cannot detect all cyclists in all situationsand, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured cyclists.
cyclists if the background contrast of thecyclist is poor - warning and brake inter-ventions may then be late or not occur atall.
cyclists in clothing that hides their bodycontour.
bikes loaded with large objects.
The driver is always responsible for ensuringthat the vehicle is driven correctly and with asafety distance suitable for the speed.
Pedestrians
Optimal examples of what the system considers to be apedestrian: clear body contours.
For optimal performance, the system's functionfor pedestrian detection needs the clearest pos-sible information about body and bicycle con-tours. This entails being able to detect the con-tours of the pedestrian's head, arm, shoulders,legs, torso and lower body in combination withnormal human movements.
In order to detect a pedestrian, there must be acontrast to the background, which could dependon clothing, weather conditions, etc. If there is lit-tle contrast, the person may be detected late ornot at all, which may result in a delayed reactionfrom the system or no reaction at all.
City Safety can detect pedestrians even in darkconditions if they are illuminated by the vehicle'sheadlights.

WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support,but it cannot detect all pedestrians in all sit-uations and, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured pedestrians, people inclothing that hides their body contour orpedestrians shorter than 80 cm (32 in.).
pedestrians if the background contrast ofthe pedestrians is poor - warning andbrake interventions may then be late ornot occur at all.
pedestrians who are carrying largeobjects.
The driver is always responsible for ensuringthat the vehicle is driven correctly and with asafety distance suitable for the speed.

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 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
