limitations
Curve Speed Assist (CSA) functionality may be reduced in certain situations. This functionis only available on some markets.
The driver should be aware of the following limitations:
Curve Speed Assist (CSA) may have lim-ited performance on small roads and indensely populated areas.
At off-ramps or intersections, CurveSpeed Assist (CSA) may temporarilyswitch off.
If the satellite navigator's 50
map data is
not updated, Curve Speed Assist (CSA)may have limited functionality.
Curve Speed Assist (CSA) functionality may be limited if the satellite navigator 50
has lost contact with the satellite system.
On new or rebuilt roads, map data may be incorrect.
The risk of reduced grip due to adverseweather or road conditions is not takeninto account when calculating suitablecornering speed.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

CauseAction
Water or snow is spraying/swirling up and blocking the radar signals or the camera's range of visibility. No action. Very wet or snow-covered roads may sometimes prevent the cam-era/radar sensor from functioning.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the cam-era/radar sensor. Consult a workshop to have the area of the windshield on the inside of the cam-era's casing cleaned. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Bright sunlight. No action. The camera/radar sensor will reset automatically when lighting con-ditions improve.
High temperatures
If the temperature in the passenger compart- ment is very high, the camera/radar sensorwill switch off temporarily forapprox. 15 minutes after the engine is startedto protect its electronic components. Whenthe temperature has cooled sufficiently, thecamera/radar sensor will automatically restart.
Damaged windshield
NOTE
Failure to take action could result in reduced performance for the driver supportsystems that use the camera and radarunit. It could cause functions to bereduced, deactivated completely or to pro-duce an incorrect function response.
To avoid the risk of malfunction of the driver support systems that use the radar sensor, thefollowing also apply:
If there are cracks, scratches or stonechips on the windshield in front of any ofthe camera and radar sensor "windows"and this covers an area ofabout 0.5 × 3.0 mm (0.02 × 0.12 in.) ormore, contact a workshop to have the windshield replaced 54
.
Volvo advises
against repairing cracks,
scratches or stone chips in the area in front of the camera and radar sensor – theentire windshield should instead bereplaced.
Before replacing the windshield, contact a workshop 54
to verify that the right wind-
shield has been ordered and installed.
The same type of windshield wipers or wipers approved by Volvo should be usedfor replacement.
If the windshield is replaced, the cameraand radar sensor must be recalibrated by a workshop 54
to help ensure proper func-
tioning of all of the vehicle's camera and radar-based systems.
Radar
Vehicle speed
The radar sensor's ability to detect a vehicle ahead is significantly reduced if the speed ofthe vehicle ahead differs greatly from yourvehicle's speed.
54 An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

is always active, but the func-
tion's warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deacti- vated. It is activated automatically eachtime the engine/electric motor is started.
The alert distance determines the sensitivity of the system and regulates the distance atwhich the light, sound and brake pulsationswill be activated. To select warning distance:
1. Select
SettingsMy CarIntelliSafein the center display's Top view.
2. Under
City Safety Warning, tap Late,Normal or Early to set the desired warn-
ing distance.
If the driver feels that the
Early setting is giv-
ing too many warnings or finds them irritating, the
Normal or Late warning distance settings
can be selected instead. If the driver feels that the warnings are too fre- quent and distracting, the warning distancecan be reduced. This will reduce the total number of warnings, but it will also result inCity Safety providing warnings at a later stage. The
Late warning distance setting should
therefore only be used in exceptional cases, such as when a more dynamic driving style ispreferred.
57 This function is not available on all markets.

Rear Collision Warning *63
The Rear Collision Warning 64
(RCW) function
can help the driver avoid rear-end collisions from vehicles approaching from behind.
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 function detects that the vehicle is in dangerof being hit from behind, the seat belt tension-ers may tension the front seat belts. TheWhiplash Protection System will also be acti-vated in a collision. Immediately before a collision from behind, the function may also activate the brakes inorder to reduce the forward acceleration of thevehicle during the collision. However, thebrakes will only be applied if your vehicle isstationary. The brakes will be immediatelyreleased if the accelerator pedal is depressed. The function is automatically activated each time the engine is started.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.

limitations
In some situations, it may be difficult for Rear Collision Warning (RCW) to warn the driverof a collision risk.
This may be the case if: the vehicle approaching from the rear is detected 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 -the function will then be automaticallydeactivated.
NOTE
In certain markets RCW does
not warn
with the direction indicators due to local traffic regulations – in such cases, that partof the function is deactivated.

NOTE
The light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the system has detected thevehicle. If the vehicle is passed on bothsides simultaneously, both lights come on.

The Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) function with auto brake may have limited functionality in
certain situations. Auto-brake is active atspeeds under 15 km/h (9.3 mph).
WARNING
The auto-brake sub-function can only
detect and apply the brakes for other mov- ing vehicles – not for e.g. stationary obsta-
cles, cyclists or pedestrians.
CTA has certain limitations – The CTA sen- sors, for example, cannot "see" through otherparked vehicles or objects blocking the vehi-cle. Below are a few examples of situations in which CTA's field of vision may be initially lim-ited and approaching vehicles may thereforenot be detected until they are very close toyour vehicle:

Park Assist front, rear and sides *
Park Assist behaves differently depending on which part of the vehicle is approaching anobstacle.
Front camera
The warning signal has a continuous tone when the obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from thevehicle.
The Park Assist system's front sensors are automatically activated when the engine isstarted. They are active at speedsbelow 10 km/h (6 mph). The distance monitored extends approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.
NOTE
The Park Assist system is deactivated when the parking brake is used or when P
is selected on vehicles with automatictransmission.
CAUTION
When installing auxiliary lights: Make sure these do not obscure the sensors – theauxiliary lights could be perceived as anobstacle.
Back
The warning signal has a continuous tone when the obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from thevehicle.
The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle begins rolling backward or if reverse gear isengaged. The distance monitored extends approx. 1.5 meters (5 ft) behind the vehicle. The Park Assist system's rear sensors will be automatically deactivated if the vehicle isbacking up with a trailer connected to thevehicle's electrical system.
NOTE
When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike carrier on the trailer hitch – without Volvooriginal trailer cables – the Parking Assistsystem may have to be turned off manuallyto prevent the sensors from reacting tothese.
