* Option/accessory.295

NOTE
Driver support can keep the vehicle stationaryfor no more than 5 minutes – after that timethe parking brake is applied and the functionis deactivated.
The parking brake must be released beforedriver support can be reactivated.

Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deactivatedwhen the vehicle is at a standstill and the func-tion will go into standby mode. This means thatthe brakes will be released and the vehicle couldbegin to roll. The driver must actively apply thebrakes to keep the vehicle stationary.
This can occur if:
the driver depresses the brake pedal
the parking brake is applied
the gear selector is moved to the P, N or Rpositions
the driver puts the function in standby mode.

Auto Activate Parking Brake
In certain situations, the parking brake will beapplied to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
This occurs if the function is keeping the vehiclestationary using the brakes and:
the driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt
the function has kept the vehicle at a stand-still for more than approx. 5 minutes
the brakes overheat
the driver switches off the engine manually.

Passing assistance
Passing assistance can assist the driver whenpassing other vehicles. The function can beused with Pilot Assist or Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol* (ACC40).
How passing assistance works
When Pilot Assist or ACC is following anothervehicle and you indicate that you intend to pass
that vehicle by using the turn signal41, the systemwill begin accelerating toward the vehicle aheadbefore your vehicle has moved into the passinglane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction toavoid early braking as your vehicle approaches aslower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle haspassed the other vehicle.

WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti-vated in more situations than just passinganother vehicle, such as when a direction indi-cator is used to indicate a lane change orbefore exiting to another road – the vehiclewill then briefly accelerate.

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.
45An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

3 - Auto-brake
The automatic braking function is activated at thelast moment.
If the driver has not taken evasive action by thisstage and a collision is imminent, the automaticbraking function will be triggered. This occurswhether or not the driver is pressing the brakepedal. Full braking force will be applied to reducethe speed at impact or reduced braking effect willbe applied if this is sufficient to avoid the colli-sion.
The seat belt tensioner may be activated whenthe automatic braking function is triggered.
In certain situations, auto-braking may begin witha 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 drivertakes action. If the vehicle has slowed to avoidcolliding with a slower-moving vehicle ahead, yourspeed will be reduced to that vehicle's speed.
Auto-braking can always be cancelled if thedriver presses hard on the accelerator pedal.

NOTE
When City Safety activates the brakes, thebrake lights come on.
When City Safety applies the brakes, a text mes-sage will appear in the instrument panel to notifythe driver that the function is/was activated.
WARNING
City Safety may not be used to change howthe driver operates the vehicle. The drivermust not only rely on City Safety to brake thevehicle.

Setting a warning distance for CitySafety
City Safety is always active, but the function'swarning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deacti-vated. It is activated automatically each timethe engine/electric motor is started.
The alert distance determines the sensitivity ofthe system and regulates the distance at whichthe light, sound and brake pulsations will be acti-vated.
To select warning distance:
1.Select SettingsMy CarIntelliSafe inthe center display's Top view.
2.Under City Safety Warning, tap Late,Normal or Early to set the desired warningdistance.
If the driver feels that the Early setting is givingtoo many warnings or finds them irritating, theNormal or Late warning distance settings canbe selected instead.
If the driver feels that the warnings are too fre-quent and distracting, the warning distance canbe reduced. This will reduce the total number ofwarnings, but it will also result in City Safety pro-viding warnings at a later stage.

Rear Collision Warning51
The Rear Collision Warning52 (RCW) functioncan help the driver avoid rear-end collisions fromvehicles approaching from behind.
The function is automatically activated each timethe engine is started.
The function can alert drivers of following vehi-cles of the risk of a collision by rapidly flashingthe turn signals.
If, at a speed below 30 km/h (20 mph), the func-tion detects that the vehicle is in danger of beinghit from behind, the seatbelt tensioners may ten-sion the front seat belts and activate theWhiplash Protection System safety system.
Immediately before a collision from behind, thefunction may also activate the brakes in order toreduce the forward acceleration of the vehicleduring the collision. However, the brakes will onlybe applied if your vehicle is stationary. The brakeswill be immediately released if the acceleratorpedal is depressed.

Rear Collision Warning53 limitations
In some situations, it may be difficult for RearCollision Warning (RCW) to warn the driver of acollision risk.
This may be the case if:
the vehicle approaching from the rear isdetected at a late stage
the vehicle approaching from the rearchanges lanes at a late stage
a trailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system - thefunction will then be automatically deacti-vated.
NOTE
In certain markets RCW does not warn withthe direction indicators due to local trafficregulations – in such cases, that part of thefunction is deactivated.
NOTE
The warning with direction indicators for RearCollision Warning is deactivated if the colli-sion warning distance in the City Safety func-tion is set to the lowest level "Late".
The seat belt tensioning and braking func-tions remain active.
