WARNING
No automatic system can guarantee 100% correct function in all situations.You should therefore never test use ofCity Safety in the direction of people,animals or vehicles – this could lead tosevere damage, serious personal injuryor even 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 set to
Early, warnings may be per-
ceived as late in certain situations – e.g. when there are large speed differ-ences or if the vehicle ahead suddenlybrakes heavily.
With the warning distance set to
Early,
warnings come further in advance. This may cause the warnings to come morefrequently than with warning distance
Normal, but is recommended since it
can make City Safety more effective.
NOTE
The warning with direction indicators for Rear Collision Warning * is deactivated if
the collision warning distance in the City Safety function is set to the lowest level "
Late".
The seat belt tensioning and braking func- tions remain active.

Detecting obstacles with City Safety
City Safety 58
can help the driver detect other
vehicles, cyclists, large animals and pedes- trians.
VehiclesCity Safety can detect most vehicles that are stationary or are moving in the same directionas your vehicle. In some cases, it can alsodetect oncoming vehicles and crossing traffic. For City Safety to be able to detect a vehicle in the dark, its headlights and taillights must beon and clearly visible.
Cyclists
Examples of what City Safety would interpret to be a cyclist: clear body and bicycle shapes.
58 This function is not available on all markets.

DRIVER SUPPORT
332For good performance, the system's function for cyclist detection needs the clearest possi-ble information about the contours of the bicy-cle and of the cyclist's head, arm, shoulders,legs, torso and lower body in combinationwith normal human movements. If large portions of the cyclist's body or the bicycle itself are not visible to the function'scamera, it will not be able to detect a cyclist. The system can only detect adult cyclists rid- ing on bicycles intended for adults.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup- port, but it cannot detect all cyclists in allsituations and, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured cyclists.
cyclists if the background contrast of the cyclist is poor - warning and brakeinterventions may then be late or notoccur at all.
cyclists in clothing that hides theirbody contour.
bikes loaded with large objects.
The driver is always responsible for ensur- ing that the vehicle is driven correctly andwith a safety distance suitable for thespeed.
Pedestrians
Examples of what the system considers to be a pedestrian: clear body contours.
For good performance, the system's function for pedestrian detection needs the clearestpossible information about the contours of thepedestrian's head, arm, shoulders, legs, torsoand lower body in combination with normalhuman movements. In order to detect a pedestrian, there must be a contrast to the background, which coulddepend on clothing, weather conditions, etc. Ifthere is little contrast, the person may bedetected late or not at all, which may result ina delayed reaction from the system or no reac-tion at all. City Safety can detect pedestrians even in dark conditions if they are illuminated by thevehicle's headlights.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup- port, but it cannot detect all pedestrians inall situations and, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured pedestrians, people in clothing that hides their body con-tour or pedestrians shorter than 80 cm(32 in.).
pedestrians if the background contrastof the pedestrians is poor - warningand brake interventions may then belate or not occur at all.
pedestrians who are carrying largeobjects.
The driver is always responsible for ensur- ing that the vehicle is driven correctly andwith a safety distance suitable for thespeed.

Large animals
Examples of what City Safety would interpret as a large animal: stationary or moving slowly and withclear body contours.
For good performance, the system's function for detecting large animals (e.g. moose,horses, etc.) needs the clearest possible infor-mation about body contours. This entailsbeing able to detect the animal straight fromthe side in combination with normal move-ments for that animal. If parts of the animal's body are not visible to the function's camera, the system will not beable to detect the animal. City Safety can detect large animals even in dark conditions if they are illuminated by thevehicle's headlights.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup- port, but it cannot detect all large animalsin all situations and, for example, cannotsee: partially obscured larger animals.
larger animals seen from the front or from behind.
running or fast moving larger animals.
larger animals if the contrast of the ani-mal's background is poor - warningand brake interventions may thenoccur late or not at all.
smaller animals such as cats and dogs.
The driver is always responsible for ensur- ing that the vehicle is driven correctly andwith a safety distance suitable for thespeed.

City Safety in crossing traffic City Safety 59
can assist the driver when turn-
ing into the path of an oncoming vehicle in an intersection.
Sector in which City Safety can detect an oncoming vehicle in crossing traffic.
In order for City Safety to detect an oncomingvehicle in situations where there is a risk of acollision, that vehicle must be within the sec-tor in which City Safety can analyze the situa-tion. 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 mustbe on

Limitations of City Safety in crossing traffic
In certain situations, it may be difficult for
City Safety to help the driver avoid a collisionwith crossing traffic.
For example:
on slippery roads when Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is actively operating
if an approaching vehicle is detected at alate stage
if the oncoming vehicle is partiallyobstructed by another vehicle or object
if the oncoming vehicle's headlights areoff
if the oncoming vehicle is moving errati-cally and e.g. suddenly changes lanes at alate stage.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

Battery drain
The electrical functions in the vehicle drain the battery to varying degrees. Avoid usingignition mode II when the engine is switched
off. Use ignition mode I instead, as this uses
less electrical current.
Note that certain accessories may also drain power from the electrical system. Do not usefunctions that use a lot of electrical currentwhen the engine is turned off. Examples ofsuch functions are: blower

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
598
How can I prepare for my next OBD II
emission inspection?
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit or was lit but went out without service, haveyour vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary,serviced by a qualified Volvo technician.
If you recently had service for a lit CheckEngine light, or if you had service thatrequired disconnecting the battery, aperiod of driving is necessary to bring theOBD II system to "ready" for inspection.Two half-hour trips of mixed stop-and-go/highway driving are typically needed toallow OBD II to reach readiness. YourVolvo retailer can provide you with moreinformation on planning a trip.
Maintain your vehicle in accordance withyour vehicle's maintenance schedule.
Owner maintenancePeriodic maintenance requirements and inter-vals are described in your vehicle's Warrantyand Service Records Information booklet. The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled maintenance services.
Each time the vehicle is refueled:
Check the engine oil level.
Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and taillights.
Monthly:
Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
Check that engine coolant and other fluidlevels are between the indicated "min"and "max" markings.
Clean interior glass surfaces with a glasscleaner and soft paper towels.
Wipe driver information displays with asoft cloth.
Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-rosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose ter-minal connector, or a battery near the endof its useful service life. Consult your Volvoretailer for additional information.
As needed:
Wash the vehicle, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be caused by abuildup of dirt, and corrosion that can becaused by salt residues. Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at the base of the windshield, and from other pla-ces where they may collect.
