WARNING
The Pilot Assist function is supplementarydriver support intended to facilitate driv-ing and help make it safer – it cannothandle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
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 (see the link list at the end of thisarticle).
Pilot Assist should only be used if thereare clear lane lines painted on each sideof the lane. All other use will increase therisk of contact with nearby obstacles thatcannot be detected by the functions.
Pilot Assist is not a substitute for the driv-er's attention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theproper position within the lane, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
NOTE
Depending on market, this function may beeither Standard or Optional.
Pilot Assist regulates speed by accelerating andbraking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a slightsound when they are being used to adjust speed.
Pilot Assist attempts to smoothly regulate speed.The driver must apply the brakes in situationsrequiring immediate braking. For example, whenthere are great differences in speed betweenvehicles or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.Due to limitations in the camera and radar sen-sor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all.
Pilot Assist is designed to follow a vehicle aheadin the same lane and maintain a time interval tothat vehicle set by the driver. If the radar sensordoes not detect a vehicle ahead, it will insteadmaintain the speed set by the driver. This will alsohappen if the speed of the vehicle aheadexceeds the set speed for your vehicle.
Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle atspeeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h(125 mph).
Pilot Assist can provide steering assistancefrom near-stationary speeds up to 140 km/h(87 mph).
WARNING
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidancesystem. The driver must intervene if thesystem fails to detect a vehicle ahead.
Pilot Assist does not brake for people,animals, objects, small vehicles (e.g.cycles and motorcycles), low trailers aswell as oncoming, slow or stationary vehi-cles.
Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding sit-uations, such as in city traffic, at intersec-tions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot ofwater or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads,on highway on- or off-ramps, or with atrailer connected to the vehicle.

CAUTION
Maintenance of the integrated components inPilot Assist may only be performed by a work-shop – an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-ommended.

In curves and forks in the road
Pilot Assist is designed to interact with the driver.The driver should never wait for steering assis-tance from Pilot Assist, but instead should alwaysbe ready to increase his or her own steeringefforts, particularly in curves.

2 - Brake assistance
If the risk of a collision increases after the colli-sion warning, brake support will be activated.
If the system determines that the pressure thedriver is exerting on the brake pedal is insufficientto prevent the collision, brake support willincrease pressure.

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 tensioners may be activated alongwith the automatic braking function. See "Seatbelt tensioners" for more information.
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.

DRIVER SUPPORT

339
The Late warning distance setting should there-fore only be used in exceptional cases, such aswhen a more dynamic driving style is preferred.

WARNING
No automatic system can guarantee100% correct function in all situations.You should therefore never test use ofCity Safety in the direction of people, ani-mals or vehicles – this could lead tosevere damage, serious personal injury oreven death.
City Safety warns the driver if there is arisk of collision, but the function cannotreduce the driver's reaction time.
Even if the warning distance has been setto Early, warnings may be perceived aslate in certain situations – e.g. when thereare large speed differences or if the vehi-cle ahead suddenly brakes heavily.
With the warning distance set to Early,warnings come further in advance. Thismay cause the warnings to come morefrequently than with warning distanceNormal, but is recommended since it canmake City Safety more effective.
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.

Detecting obstacles with City Safety
City Safety can help detect vehicles, cyclists,large animals and pedestrians.
Vehicles
City Safety detects most types of vehicles thatare either stationary, moving in the same direc-tion as your vehicle or those described in “CitySafety in crossing traffic” and City Safety brakingfor oncoming vehicles”.
For City Safety to be able to detect a vehicle inthe dark, its headlights and taillights must be onand clearly visible.

Cyclists
Optimal examples of what City Safety would interpret tobe a cyclist: clear body and bicycle shapes.
For optimal performance, the system's functionfor cyclist detection needs the clearest possibleinformation about the contours of the bicycle and

of the cyclist's head, arm, shoulders, legs, torsoand 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.
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.

Limitations of City Safety incrossing traffic
In certain situations, it may be difficult for CitySafety to help the driver avoid a collision withcrossing traffic.
For example:
on slippery roads when Electronic StabilityControl (ESC) is actively operating
if an approaching vehicle is detected at a latestage
if the oncoming vehicle is partially obstructedby another vehicle or object
if the oncoming vehicle's headlights are off
if the oncoming vehicle is moving erraticallyand e.g. suddenly changes lanes at a latestage.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's combinedcamera and radar unit, which has certain gen-eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-tions" and "Radar sensor limitations".
