Recommended maintenance for thecamera/radar sensor
In order for the camera/radar sensor to functionproperly, the area of the windshield in front ofthe unit must be kept free of dirt, ice, snow, etc.and should be washed regularly with water andcar washing detergent.

NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the camera andradar unit reduce their function and can makemeasurement impossible.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deac-tivated completely or produce an incorrectfunction response.

City Safety™
City Safety can alert the driver with light, soundand pulsations in the brake pedal to help thedriver detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animalsand vehicles that appear suddenly – the vehiclewill then attempt to automatically brake if thedriver does not act within a reasonable amountof time.
Location of the camera and radar sensor69.
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lowerthe vehicle's speed at the point of impact.
City Safety is an aid intended to assist the driverif a collision with a pedestrian, large animal,cyclist or vehicle is imminent.
City Safety can help the driver avoid a collisionwhen e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, when
changes in the traffic ahead and driver distractioncould lead to an incident.
The function assists the driver by automaticallyapplying the brakes if there is an imminent risk ofa collision and the driver does not react in time bybraking and/or steering away.
City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in anattempt to stop your vehicle immediately behindthe vehicle or object ahead.
City Safety is activated in situations in which thedriver should have applied the brakes much ear-lier, which means that the system will not be ableto assist the driver in all situations.
City Safety is designed to be activated as late aspossible to help avoid unnecessary intervention.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not beaware of City Safety except when the systemintervenes when a collision is imminent.

Large animals
If there is a risk of colliding with a large animal,City Safety can help reduce your vehicle's speedby up to 15 km/h (9 mph).
The braking function for large animals is primarilyintended to mitigate the force of a collision athigher speeds. Braking is most effective atspeeds above 70 km/h (43 mph) and less effec-tive at lower speeds.

City Safety sub-functions
Function overview70.
Acoustic collision warning signal
Collision warning symbol
Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
City Safety carries out three steps in the follow-ing order:
1.Collision warning
2. Brake assistance
3. Auto-brake
Descriptions of what happens in these threesteps are provided below.
1 - Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an immi-nent collision.
In vehicles equipped with a head-up display*, aflashing warning symbol will be displayed on thewindshield.
Collision warning symbol on the windshield71.
NOTE
Visual warnings on the windshield may be dif-ficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight,reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if thedriver is wearing sunglasses or is not lookingstraight ahead.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists orvehicles that are stationary, are moving in thesame direction as your vehicle and are ahead ofyour vehicle. City Safety can also detect pedes-trians, cyclists or large animals that are crossingthe road in front of your vehicle.
If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian,large animal, cyclist or another vehicle, or with avehicle described in the section "City Safety incrossing traffic", the driver will be alerted withlight, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal. Atlower speeds, during hard braking or if the accel-erator pedal is pressed, the brake pedal pulsationwarning will not be given. The intensity of thebrake pedal pulsations varies according to thevehicle's speed.

WARNING
The "City Safety in crossing traffic" func-tion is supplementary driver supportintended to improve driving safety – itcannot handle all situations in all traffic,weather and road conditions.
Warnings and brake interventions due toa collision risk with an oncoming vehicleoften come very late.
Never wait for a collision warning or forCity Safety to intervene.
City Safety 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 theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.

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".

City Safety steering assistance forevasive maneuver
City Safety steering assistance can help thedriver steer away from vehicles or obstacleswhen a collision cannot be avoided by brakingalone.
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 the power steering works at reduced power- e.g. during cooling due to overheating (seesection "Speed-dependent steering force").
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".

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.
However, if City Safety determines that an eva-sive maneuver would not be possible due to traf-fic in the adjacent lane(s), the function can assistthe driver by automatically starting to apply thebrakes at an earlier stage.

City Safety braking for oncoming
vehicles*
City Safety can help you apply the brakes for anoncoming vehicle in your lane.
If an oncoming vehicle veers into your lane and acollision is unavoidable, City Safety can helpreduce your vehicle's speed to attempt to miti-gate the force of the collision.
Own vehicle
Oncoming vehicles
The following criteria must be met for the func-tion to work:
your vehicle's speed must be above 4 km/h(3 mph)
the road must be straight
your lane must have clear side lane markings
your vehicle must be positioned straight inyour lane
the oncoming vehicle must be positionedwithin your vehicle's lane markings
the oncoming vehicle's headlights must beon
the function can only handle “front-to-front”collisions
the function can only detect vehicles withfour wheels
the function requires functioning ElectricSeat Belt Tensioners* (see section “Seatbelt tensioners”).

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".
WARNING
The "City Safety braking for oncomingvehicles" function is supplementary driversupport intended to help improve drivingsafety – it cannot handle all situations inall traffic, weather and road conditions.
Warnings and brake interventions due toan imminent collision with an oncomingvehicle always come very late.
Never wait for a collision warning or forCity Safety to intervene. If you notice anyhazard or other potentially dangerous sit-uation, always fully apply the brakes.
City Safety 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 theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.

City Safety limitations
City Safety functionality may be reduced in cer-tain situations.

Surroundings
Low objects
Hanging objects, such as flags for overhangingloads or accessories such as auxiliary lights orfront protective grids that extend beyond theheight of the hood, may limit City Safety function-ality.

Slippery road conditions
The extended braking distance on slippery roadsmay reduce City Safety's capacity to help avoid acollision. In these types of situations, the Anti-lock Braking System and Electronic Stability Con-
trol (ESC72) will help provide optimal brakingpower with maintained stability.

Backlighting
The visual warning signal in the windshield maybe difficult to detect in bright sunlight, if there arereflections, or if the driver is wearing sunglassesor not looking straight ahead.

Heat
If the temperature in the passenger compartmentis high due to e.g. bright sunlight, the visual warn-ing signal in the windshield may be temporarilydisabled.
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 and replacement of City Safetycomponents may only be performed by aworkshop – an authorized Volvo workshop isrecommended.
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.

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.
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 combinedcamera and radar unit, which has certain gen-eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-tions" and "Radar sensor limitations".
