trol no longer has a vehicle to follow. Automatic braking ceases when stationary In certain situations the cruise control inter- rupts braking when stationary. This means that the foot brake is released and the driver must brake himself/herself. Cruise control releases the foot brake and is set in standby mode when: • the driver puts his/her foot on the brake pedal • the parking brake is applied • the gear selector is moved to P, N or R position • the driver sets the cruise control in standby mode. Automatic activation parking brake In some situations the cruise control applies the parking brake in order to keep a stationary car remaining stationary. This takes place if: • the driver opens the door or takes off his/ her seatbelt • DSTC is changed from Normal to Sport mode • cruise control has held the car stationary for more than 2 minutes • the engine is switched off • the brakes have overheated. The radar sensor and its limitations Apart from the adaptive cruise control, the radar sensor is also used by the Collision Warning with Auto Brake function (see page 192) and the Distance Warning function (see page 185). The function of the radar sen- sor is to detect cars or larger vehicles in the same direction, in the same lane. Modification of the radar sensor could result in it being illegal to use. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive cruise control* WARNING WARNING The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and intervene when the adaptive cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed or suitable dis- tance. The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. Read the whole of this section for informa- tion on the limitations of the adaptive cruise control. The driver must be familiar with this information before using the adaptive cruise control. The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when the adaptive cruise control is being used. WARNING Accessories or other objects such as auxil- iary lamps must not be installed in front of the grille. 04 Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must inter- vene if the system does not detect a vehicle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehi- cles and objects. Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/ snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on slip roads. The capacity of the radar sensor to detect vehi- cles in front is reduced significantly: • if the radar sensor becomes blocked and cannot detect other vehicles e.g. in heavy rain or slush, or if other objects have col- lected in front of the radar sensor. NOTE Keep the surface in front of the radar sensor clean. • if the speed of vehicles in front is signifi- cantly different from your own speed. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 181 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive cruise control* Examples where the cruise control does not work optimally The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations another vehicle is not detected, or the detection is made later than expected. 04 Sometimes the radar sensor is late at detecting vehicles at close distances, e.g. a vehicle that drives in between the car and vehicles in front. Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles not driving in the centre of the lane can remain undetected. In bends the radar sensor may detect the wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehicle from view. Fault tracing and action If the display shows the message Radar blocked See manual this means that the radar signals from the radar sensor are blocked and that vehicles in front of the car could not be detected. In turn this means that the Adaptive Cruise Control, Distance Warning and Collision Warn- ing with Auto Brake functions are not operating either. The following table presents possible causes for a message being shown along with the appropriate action. ACC field of vision. 182 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive cruise control* Cause Action The radar surface in the grille is dirty or covered with ice or snow. Clean the radar surface in the grille from dirt, ice and snow. Heavy rain or snow blocking the radar signals. No action. Sometimes the radar does not work during heavy rain or snowfall. Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the radar sig- nals. No action. Sometimes the radar does not work on a very wet or snowy road surface. The radar surface has been cleaned but the message remains. Wait. It could take several minutes for the radar to sense that it is no longer blocked. 04 Symbols and messages in the display Symbol Message Specification Standby mode or active mode without detected vehicle.

Press Brake To hold + acoustic alarm (Only with Queue Assistant) Below 30 km/h Only fol- lowing (Only with Queue Assistant) The car is stationary and the cruise control will release the foot brake to allow the parking brake to take over and hold the car, but a fault in the parking brake means the car will shortly begin to roll. • The driver must brake himself/herself. The message remains and the alarm sounds until the driver depresses the brake pedal or uses the accelerator pedal. Shown with attempts to activate the cruise control at speeds below 30 km/h without a vehicle in front within the activation distance (approx. 30 metres). 184 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure General Distance Warning (Distance Alert) is a function that informs the driver about the time interval to vehicles in front. Distance Warning is active at speeds above 30 km/h and only reacts to vehicles driving in front of the car, in the same direction. No dis- tance information is provided for oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles. NOTE Distance warning is deactivated during the time the adaptive cruise control is active. WARNING Distance warning only reacts if the distance to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the pre- set value - the speed of the driver's vehicle is not affected. Operation Distance Warning* Some combinations of the selected equipment leave no vacant space for a button in the centre console - in which case the function is handled by the car's menu system MY CAR under Settings distance. For a description of the menu sys- tem - see page 144.) Car settings Warning Set time interval 04 Orange warning lamp1. An orange warning lamp in the windscreen illu- minates with a constant glow if the distance to the vehicle in front is shorter than the set time interval. Press the button in the centre console to switch the function on or off. The function is switched on if one lamp is illuminated in the button. Controls and display for time interval. Time interval - Increase/decrease. Press up to increase, down to decrease. Time interval2 - On (during adjustment). Time interval2 - On (after adjustment). 1 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model. 2 The display shows either "dash" symbol [2] or [3] - they are never shown simultaneously. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 185 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Distance Warning* Different time intervals to the vehicle in front can be selected and shown in the display as 1-5 horizontal lines - the more lines the longer the time interval. One line corre- sponds to approximately 1 second to the vehicle in front, 5 lines approx- imately 2.5 seconds. The number of lines for the selected time interval is shown during the setting itself and for several seconds after- wards. Then a smaller scale version of the symbol is shown to the right of the dis- play. The same symbol is also shown when adaptive cruise control is activated. 04 NOTE The higher the speed, the longer the calcu- lated distance in metres for a specific time interval. The set time interval is also used by the adaptive cruise control function, see page 177. Only use the time interval that is allowed in accordance with local traffic regulations. Limitations The function uses the same radar sensor as adaptive cruise control and the collision warn- ing system. For more information on the radar sensor and its limitations, see page 181. NOTE Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia- tions in light intensity, as well as wearing sunglasses, could mean that the warning light in the windscreen cannot be seen. Poor weather or winding roads could affect the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi- cles in front. The size of other vehicles could also affect detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. This could mean that the warning lamp illumi- nates at a shorter distance than the setting or that the warning is temporarily absent. Extremely high speeds can also cause the lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance than that set due to limitations in sensor range.

The function is active at speeds below 30 km/h and it helps the driver by automatically braking the car in the event of imminent risk of collision with vehicles in front, should the driver not react in time by braking and/or steering away. City Safety™ is activated in situations where the driver should have started braking earlier, which is why it cannot help the driver in every situation. City Safety™ is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary intervention. City Safety™ must not be used as an excuse for the driver to change his/her driving style. If the driver solely relies on City Safety™ to do the braking, there will be a collision sooner or later. The driver or passengers normally only notice City Safety™ if a situation arises where the car is extremely close to being in a collision. If the car is also equipped with a Collision Warning function with Auto Brake*, these two systems complement each other. For more information on Collision Warning function with Auto Brake, see page 192. Function IMPORTANT Maintenance and replacement of City Safety™ components must only be per- formed by a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. WARNING City Safety™ does not engage in all driving situations or traffic, weather or road condi- tions. City Safety™ does not react to vehicles driving in a different direction from the car, to small vehicles, motorcycles and bicycles or to humans and animals. City Safety™ can prevent collision at a speed difference of less than 15 km/h - at a higher speed difference, it is only possible to reduce collision speed. In order to obtain full brake function, the driver must depress the brake pedal. Never wait for City Safety™ to engage. The driver always bears responsibility for main- taining the proper distance and speed. Laser sensor transmitter and receiver window1. City Safety™ detects the traffic in front of the car with a laser sensor fitted in the top edge of the windscreen. If there is an imminent risk of collision, City Safety™ will automatically brake the car, which may be experienced as sudden braking. If the speed difference is 4-15 km/h in relation to the vehicle in front then City Safety™ can completely prevent a collision. City Safety™ activates a short, sharp braking and stops the car in normal circumstances, just behind the vehicle in front. For most drivers this is well outside normal driving style and may be experienced as being uncomfortable. 1 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model. 188 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure If the difference in speed between the vehicles is greater than 15 km/h then City Safety™ may not prevent the collision on its own. To obtain full brake force, the driver must depress the brake pedal. This could then make it possible to prevent a collision, even at speed differen- ces above 15 km/h. When the function is activated and brakes, the instrument panel display shows a message to the effect that the function is/has been active. Using MY CAR on the centre console display screen with its menu system, search and locate Settings Car settings Driving support City Safety. Select the Off option. systems For more information on the menu system MY CAR, see page 144). However, the function will be enabled the next time the engine is started, regardless of whether the system was enabled or disabled when the engine was switched off. NOTE The brake lights come on when City Safety™ brakes the car. Operation NOTE The City Safety™ function is always ena- bled after the engine has been started via key position I and II (see page 80 on key positions). On and Off In certain situations, it may advisable to disable City Safety™, e.g. where leafy branches could sweep over the bonnet and/or windscreen. After starting the engine City Safety™ can be deactivated as follows: WARNING The laser sensor also transmits laser light when City Safety™ is disabled manually. To enable City Safety™ again: • Follow the same procedure as for disa- bling, but select the On option. Limitations The sensor in City Safety™ is designed to detect cars and other large vehicles in front of the car irrespective of whether it is day or night. However, the sensor has limitations and has poorer functionality in e.g. heavy snowfall or rain, dense fog, dust storms or snow flurries. Mist, dirt, ice or snow on the windscreen may disrupt the function. City Safety™ Low-hanging objects, e.g. a flag/pennant for projecting load, or accessories such as auxili- ary lamps and bull bars that are higher than the bonnet limit the function. The infrared light from the sensor in City Safety™ measures how the light is reflected. The sensor cannot detect objects with low reflection capacity. The rear sections of the vehicle generally reflect the light sufficiently thanks to the number plate and rear light reflec- tors. On slippery road surfaces the braking distance is extended, which may reduce the capacity of City Safety™ to avoid a collision. In such sit- uations the ABS and DSTC systems will pro- vide best possible braking force with main- tained stability. When the car is reversing City Safety™ cannot be activated. City Safety™ is not activated at low speeds - under 4 km/h, which is why the system does not intervene in situations where a vehicle in front is being approached very slowly, e.g. when parking. Driver commands are always prioritised, which is why City Safety™ does not intervene in sit- uations where the driver is steering, braking or accelerating in a clear manner, even if a colli- sion is unavoidable. 04 189 04 Comfort and driving pleasure City Safety™ When City Safety™ has prevented a collision with a stationary object the car remains sta- tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If the car is braked for a vehicle in front that is moving, then speed is reduced to the same speed as that maintained by the vehicle in front. On a car with manual gearbox the engine stops when City Safety™ has stopped the car, unless the driver manages to depress the clutch pedal beforehand. 04 NOTE • Keep the windscreen surface in front of the laser sensor free from ice, snow and dirt (see the illustration for sensor loca- tion, page 188). • Do not affix or mount anything on the windscreen in front of the laser sensor • Remove ice and snow from the bonnet - snow and ice must not exceed a height of 5 cm. Fault tracing and action If the message Windscreen Sensors blocked is shown on the instrument panel dis- play, it indicates that the laser sensor is blocked and cannot detect vehicles in front of the car. This means that City Safety™ is not operational. 190 The Windscreen Sensors blocked message is not shown for all situations in which the laser sensor is blocked. The driver must therefore be diligent about keeping the windscreen and area in front of the laser sensor clean. The following table presents possible causes for the message being shown, along with sug- gestions for appropriate action. Cause Action The windscreen sur- face in front of the laser sensor is dirty or covered with ice or snow. Clean the wind- screen surface in front of the sensor from dirt, ice and snow. The laser sensor field of vision is blocked. Remove the block- ing object. IMPORTANT If there are cracks, scratches or stone chips in the windscreen in front of either of the laser sensor's "windows" and they cover a surface of approx. 0.5 x 3.0 mm (or larger), then a workshop must be contacted for repair or replacement of the windscreen (see the illustration for sensor location, page 188) - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec- ommended. Failure to take action may result in reduced performance for City Safety™. To avoid the risk of reducing City Safety™ performance the following also applies: • The same type or a Volvo-approved windscreen must be fitted during replacement • The same type or Volvo-approved windscreen wipers must be fitted during replacement. Laser sensor The City Safety™ function includes a sensor which transmits laser light. Contact a qualified workshop in the event of a fault or if the laser sensor needs servicing - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure City Safety™ WARNING Never look into the laser sensor (which emits spreading invisible laser radiation) at a distance of 100 mm or closer with magni- fying optics such as a magnifying glass, microscope, lens or similar optical instru- ments - this would involve a risk of eye injury (the illustration on page 188 shows sensor location). For more information on the laser sensor, see page 9. A text message can be acknowledged by briefly pressing the READ button on the direc- tion indicator stalk. Symbols and messages in the display In conjunction with automatic braking by the City Safety™ system, one or more symbols may illuminate on the instrument panel and a message may appear on its display. Symbol Message Meaning/Action Auto braking by City Safety City Safety™ is braking or has automatically braked. Windscreen Sensors blocked The laser sensor is temporarily non-operational because something is blocking it. • Remove the object blocking the sensor and/or clean the windscreen in front of the sensor. Read about the limitations of the laser sensor, see page 189. City Safety Service required City Safety™ is not operational. • Visit a workshop if the message remains - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. 04 191 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* 04 General Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Pedes- trian Detection is designed to assist the driver when there is a risk of colliding with a pedes- trian or vehicles in front that are stationary or moving in the same direction. The collision warning system has the following three functions. • Collision Warning – Warns the driver of a potentially imminent collision. • Brake Support – Assists the driver to brake effectively in a critical situation. • Auto Brake - Brakes the car automatically in the event of an imminent risk of collision with a pedestrian or vehicle in front, if the driver does not himself/herself react in time by braking and/or steering away. The Auto Brake function can prevent a collision or reduce collision speed. The collision warning system is activated in sit- uations where the driver should have started braking a lot earlier, which is why the function cannot help the driver in every situation. Collision Warning with Auto Brake is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary intervention. The collision warning system must not be used as an excuse for the driver to change his/her driving style. If the driver solely relies on Colli- sion Warning with Auto Brake to do the brak- ing, there will be a collision sooner or later. The collision warning system and City Safety™ complement each other. For more information on City Safety™, see page 188. IMPORTANT Maintenance of collision warning system components must only be performed at a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. WARNING No automatic system can guarantee 100 % correct function in all situations. Therefore, never try out the Auto brake sys- tem by driving towards people - this may cause serious injuries or risk death. WARNING The collision warning system does not engage in all driving situations or traffic, weather or road conditions. The collision warning system does not react to vehicles driving in another direction to the car or to animals. Warning only activated in the event of a high risk for collision. The Function section and the section after advise about limitations of which the driver should be aware before using Collision Warning with Auto Brake. Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians are switched off at vehicle speeds exceeding 80 km/h. Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians do not work in darkness and tunnels - not even when streetlights are lit. The auto-brake function can prevent a col- lision or reduce collision speed. To ensure full brake performance, the driver should always depress the brake pedal - even when the car auto-brakes. Never wait for a collision warning. The driver is always responsible that the correct dis- tance and speed are maintained - even when the collision warning system with auto-brake is used. 192 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* Brake support If the risk of collision still increases after the collision warning then the brake support is acti- vated. The brake support prepares the brake system for rapid braking and the brakes are applied gently, which may be noticed as a slight jerk. If the brake pedal is depressed sufficiently quickly then full brake function is implemented. Brake support also reinforces the driver's brak- ing if the system considers that the braking is not sufficient to avoid a collision. Auto Brake If in this situation the driver has not yet started to take evasive action and the risk of collision is imminent then the automatic braking func- tion is deployed, irrespective of whether or not the driver brakes. Braking then takes place with full brake force in order to reduce collision speed, or with limited brake force if it is suffi- cient to avoid collision. Function Function overview1. Audio-visual warning signal in the event of a collision risk. Radar sensor Camera sensor Collision warning Together with a camera sensor, the radar sen- sor detects pedestrians, stationary vehicles as well as vehicles driving in the same direction in front of the car. In the event of there being a risk of collision with a pedestrian or such a vehicle your attention is drawn with a red flashing warning signal and a warning sound. Operation Settings are made from MY CAR via the centre console display screen and menu system. For information on how the menu system is used, see page 144. NOTE The Brake Support and Auto Brake func- tions are always enabled - they cannot be deactivated. 04 Car Driving support systems On and Off To select whether the collision warning system should be switched on or off: Search with the menu system MY CAR via the centre console display screen and locate Settings settings Collision Warning. For information on the menu system, see page 144. An activated function is tested at each engine start by briefly illuminating the warning lamp's separate points of light. When starting the engine, the setting that was selected when the engine was switched off is obtained automatically. 1 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 193 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* 04 Activating/deactivating warning signals The warning lamp is activated automatically when the engine is started if the system is switched on. The warning sound can be activated/deacti- vated separately using the options for On or Off in the menu system MY CAR under Settings systems Warning sound if risk of collision. Driving support Car settings Set warning distance The warning distance regulates the distance at which the visual and acoustic warnings are deployed. Select one of the options from Long, Normal or Short in the menu system MY CAR under Settings Driving support systems Warning Warning distance. Car settings Collision The warning distance determines the system's sensitivity. Warning distance Long provides an earlier warning. First test with Long and if this setting produces too many warnings, which could be perceived as irritating in certain sit- uations, then change to warning distance Normal. Only use warning distance Short in excep- tional cases, e.g. for dynamic driving. NOTE When the adaptive cruise control is in use the warning lamp and warning sound will be used by the cruise control even if the colli- sion warning system is switched off. The collision warning system warns the driver in the event of a risk of a collision, but the function cannot shorten driver reaction time. In order for the collision warning system to be effective, always drive with the Distance Alert set at time interval 4 – 5. see page 185. NOTE Even if the warning distance has been set to Long warnings could be perceived as being late in certain situations, e.g. when there are large differences in speed or if vehicles in front brake heavily. Checking settings The settings required can be controlled on the centre console display screen. Search with the menu system MY CAR under Settings Car settings Driving support systems Collision Warning, see page 144. Limitations The collision warning system is active from and including approx. 4 km/h. The visual warning signal may be difficult to notice in the event of strong sunlight, reflec- tions, when sunglasses are being worn or if the driver is not looking straight ahead. The warn- ing sound should therefore always be acti- vated. On slippery road surfaces the braking distance is extended, which may reduce the capacity to avoid a collision. In such situations the ABS and DSTC systems will provide best possible braking force with maintained stability. NOTE The visual warning signal can be temporarily disengaged in the event of high passenger compartment temperature caused by strong sunlight for example. If this occurs then the warning sound is activated even if it is deactivated in the menu system. • Warnings may not appear if the dis- tance to the vehicle in front is small or if steering wheel and pedal movements are large, e.g. a very active driving style. 194 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. WARNING Warnings and brake interventions could be implemented late or not at all if the traffic situation or external influences mean that the radar or camera sensor cannot detect a pedestrian or a vehicle in front correctly. The sensor system has a limited range for pedestrians and the system therefore pro- vides effective warnings and brake inter- ventions at vehicle speeds up to 50 km/h. For stationary or slow-moving vehicles, warnings and brake interventions are effec- tive at vehicle speeds up to 70 km/h. Warnings for stationary or slow-moving vehicles could be disengaged due to dark- ness or poor visibility. The collision warning system uses the same radar sensors as adaptive cruise control. For more information on the radar sensor and its limitations, see page 181. If warnings are perceived as being too frequent or disturbing then the warning distance can be reduced. This would lead to the system warn- ing at a later stage, which reduces the total number of warnings. When the car is reversing Collision Warning with Auto Brake cannot be activated. Collision Warning with Auto Brake is not acti- vated at low speeds - under 4 km/h, which is 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* why the system does not intervene in situations where the car is approaching a vehicle in front very slowly, e.g. when parking. Driver commands are always prioritised, which is why Collision Warning with Auto Brake does not intervene in situations where the driver is steering, braking or accelerating in a clear manner, even if a collision is unavoidable. When Auto Brake has prevented a collision with a stationary object the car remains sta- tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If the car is braked for a vehicle in front that is moving, then speed is reduced to the same speed as that maintained by the vehicle in front. On a car with manual gearbox the engine stops when Auto Brake has stopped the car, unless the driver manages to depress the clutch pedal beforehand. Camera sensor limitations The car's camera sensor is used by the three functions - Collision Warning with Auto Brake, Driver Alert Control, see page 199 and Lane Departure Warning, see page 202. NOTE Keep the windscreen surface in front of the camera sensor clean from ice, snow, mist and dirt. Do not attach or fit anything to the wind- screen in front of the camera sensor, as this could reduce or prevent the function of one or more camera-dependent systems. The camera sensors have limitations similar to the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in dark- ness, heavy snowfall or rain and in thick fog for example. Under such conditions the functions of camera-dependent systems could be sig- nificantly reduced or temporarily disengaged. Strong oncoming light, reflections in the car- riageway, snow or ice on the road surface, dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markings could also significantly reduce camera sensor func- tion when it is used to scan the carriageway and detect pedestrians and other vehicles. During very high temperatures the camera is temporarily switched off for about 15 minutes after the engine is started in order to protect camera functionality. 04 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 195 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* Detection of pedestrians 04 Optimal examples of what the system regards as pedestrians with clear body contours. Optimal performance of the system requires that the system function that detects pedes- trians receives as unambiguous information as possible about the contours of the body - this implies the opportunity to identify the head, arms, shoulders, legs, upper and lower body combined with a normal human pattern of movement. If large parts of the body are not visible to the camera then the system cannot detect a pedestrian. • In order for a pedestrian to be detected he/ she must appear full-length and have a height of at least 80 cm. • The system cannot detect a pedestrian carrying larger items. • The camera sensor's ability to see pedes- trians at dusk and dawn is limited - just like the human eye. • The camera sensor's capacity to detect pedestrians is deactivated when driving in darkness and tunnels - even when street- lights are lit. WARNING Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes- trian Detection is a means of assistance. It cannot detect all pedestrians in all situa- tions and it cannot see e.g. partially obscured pedestrians, people in clothing that hides the contours of the body or pedestrians shorter than 80 cm. • The driver is always responsible that the vehicle is driven properly and with a safety distance adapted to the speed. Fault tracing and action If the display shows the message Windscreen Sensors blocked then this means that the camera sensor is blocked and cannot detect pedestrians, vehicles or road markings in front of the car. 196 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. In turn this means that the Collision Warning with Auto Brake, Lane Departure Warning and Driver Alert Control functions are not operating with full functionality. The following table presents possible causes for a message being shown along with the appropriate action. Cause Action The windscreen sur- face in front of the camera is dirty or covered with ice or snow. Clean the wind- screen surface in front of the camera from dirt, ice and snow. Thick fog, heavy rain or snow means that the camera does not work sufficiently well. No action. At times the camera does not work during heavy rain or snowfall. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* Cause Action The windscreen sur- face in front of the camera has been Wait.

The Driver Alert System consists of two differ- ent functions, which can either be switched on at the same time or individually: • Driver Alert Control (DAC) • Lane Departure Warning (LDW), see page 202. A switched-on function is set in standby mode and is not activated automatically until speed exceeds 65 km/h. The function is deactivated again when speed decreases to below 60 km/h. Both functions use a camera which is depend- ent on the lane having side markings painted on each side. WARNING The Driver Alert System does not work in all situations but is instead only intended to be of supplementary assistance. The driver always has ultimate responsibility that the car is driven safely. General information on Driver Alert Control - DAC The function is intended to attract the driver's attention when he/she starts to drive less con- sistently, e.g. if he/she becomes distracted or starts to fall asleep. A camera detects the side markings painted on the carriageway and compares the section of the road with the driver's steering wheel move- ments. The driver is alerted if the vehicle does not follow the carriageway evenly. NOTE The camera sensor has certain limitations, see page 195. Driver Alert System – DAC* The objective for DAC is to detect slowly dete- riorating driving ability and it is primarily intended for major roads. The function is not intended for city traffic. In some cases driving ability is not affected despite driver fatigue. In which case there may not be any warning issued for the driver. For this reason it is always important to stop and take a break in the event of any signs of driver fatigue, irrespective of whether or not DAC issues a warning. NOTE The function must not be used to extend a driving stint. Always plan breaks at regular intervals and ensure that you are fully rested. Limitation In some cases the system may issue a warning despite driving ability not deteriorating, for example: • if the driver tests the LDW function. • in strong side winds. • on rutted road surfaces. 04 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 199 WARNING An alarm should be taken very seriously, as a sleepy driver is often not aware of his/her own condition. In the event of an alarm or a feeling of tired- ness; stop the car in a safe manner as soon as possible and rest. Studies have shown that it is equally as dan- gerous to drive while tired as it is under the influence of alcohol. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Driver Alert System – DAC* Operation Some settings are made from the centre con- sole display screen and its menu system. For information on how the menu system is used, see page 144. The current status of Driver Alert can be checked on the trip computer display with the thumbwheel on the left-hand stalk switch. 04 Thumbwheel. Turn until the display shows Driver Alert . On the second row the options Dri ver Alert Standby <65 km/h, Driver Alert Unavailable or level mark can be shown. READ confirms or clears a warning in the memory.

LDW consists of a camera that detects the side markings painted on the carriageway. The driver is alerted by an acoustic signal if the vehicle crosses a side marking. The function is switched on or off by means of a switch on the centre console. An indicator lamp in the button illuminates when the func- tion is switched on. The trip computer display shows Lane Depart Warn Standby <65 km/h when the function is in standby mode due to speed being below 65 km/h. The LDW function is activated automatically from standby mode after the camera has scan- ned in the carriageway's side markings and speed exceeds 65 km/h. The trip computer display then shows Lane Depart Warn Available. 1 A warning is still given when Increased sensitivity is selected, see page 204. 202 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. If the camera can no longer detect the carria- geway's side markings the display shows Lane Depart Warn Unavailable. If speed decreases to below 60 km/h then the function resumes standby mode and the dis- play shows Lane Depart Warn Standby <65 km/h. If the vehicle crosses the left or right-hand side marking of the carriageway without due cause then the driver is alerted by an acoustic signal. No warning is given in the following situations: • Direction indicators activated • The driver has his/her foot on the brake pedal1 • In the event of the accelerator pedal being depressed rapidly1 • In the event of rapid steering wheel move- ments1 • In the event of a sudden turn so that the car rolls. The camera sensor also has certain limitations. For more information, see page 195. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Driver Alert System - LDW* NOTE The driver is only warned once each time the wheels cross a line. So there is no acoustic alarm when there is a line between the car's wheels.

Otherwise the same value as when the engine was switched off is obtained. • Increased sensitivity – This option increases sensitivity, an alarm is triggered earlier and fewer limitations apply. 204 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. General Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking. An acoustic signal as well as symbols on the centre console's display screen indicate the distance to the detected obstacle. Parking assistance sound level can be adjusted during the ongoing acoustic signal using the centre console's VOL knob or in the car's menu system MY CAR - see page 144. Parking assistance is available in two variants: • Rear only • Both front and rear. WARNING • Parking assistance does not relinquish the driver's own responsibility during parking. • The sensors have blind spots where obstacles cannot be detected. • Be aware of e.g. people or animals near the car. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Park assist syst* Function The system is automatically activated when the engine is started - the switch's On/Off lamp is illuminated. If parking assistance is switched off with the button, the lamp goes out. 04 Display screen view - showing an obstacle left front and right rear. The centre console's display screen shows an overview of the relationship between the car and detected obstacle. Marked sectors show which of the four sen- sor(s) detected an obstacle. The closer to the car symbol a selected sector box is, the shorter the distance between the car and a detected obstacle. The frequency of the signal increases the shorter the distance to an obstacle, in front of or behind the car. Other sound from the audio system is muted automatically. When the distance is within 30 cm the tone is constant and the active sensor's field nearest the car is filled in. If the detected obstacle is within the distance for the constant tone both * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 205 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Park assist syst* behind and in front of the car, then the tone sounds alternately from the loudspeakers. IMPORTANT Certain objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or low barriers may be in the "signal shadow" and are then temporarily not detected by the sensors - the pulsating tone may then unexpectedly stop instead of changing over to the expected constant tone. • In which case, pay extra attention and manoeuvre/reposition the car particu- larly slowly or stop the current parking manoeuvre - there may be a high risk of damage to vehicles or other objects since the sensors are unable to function optimally. 04 Rear parking assistance Front parking assistance The distance covered to the rear of the car is about 1.5 metres. The acoustic signal for obstacles behind comes from one of the rear loudspeakers. Rear parking assistance is activated when reverse gear is engaged. The system must be deactivated when revers- ing with a trailer or bike carrier on the towbar or similar - otherwise they would trigger the sensors. NOTE Rear parking assistance is deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine trailer wiring is used. The distance covered in front of the car is about 0.8 metres. The acoustic signal for obstacles in front comes from one of the front loudspeak- ers. Front parking assistance is active up to 15 km/h. The lamp in the button is illuminated in order to indicate that the system is activated. When the speed is below 10 km/h the system is reactivated. NOTE Front parking assistance is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or P mode is selected in a car with an automatic gear- box. 206 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. IMPORTANT When fitting auxiliary lamps: Remember that they must not obscure the sensors – the auxiliary lamps could then be detected as obstacles. Fault indicator If the information symbol illuminates with constant glow and the informa- tion display shows Park assist syst Service required then parking assistance is disen- gaged. IMPORTANT In certain conditions the parking assistance system may produce incorrect warning sig- nals that are caused by external audio sources that emit the same ultrasonic fre- quencies that the system works with. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and exhaust noises from motorcycles etc. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Park assist syst* Cleaning the sensors NOTE Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may cause incorrect warning signals. Sensor location, front. 04 Sensor location, rear. The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they work properly. Clean them with water and car shampoo. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 207 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Park assist camera* General The parking camera is an assist system and is activated when reverse gear is engaged (can be changed in the settings menu, see page 144). The camera image is shown on the centre con- sole's screen. WARNING • The parking camera serves as an aid. It does not relieve the driver of responsi- bility when reversing. • The camera has blind spots, where obstacles cannot be detected. • Be aware of people and animals in the vicinity of the car. 04 When reverse gear is engaged two unbroken lines are shown graphically which illustrate where the car's rear wheels will roll with the current steering wheel angle, this facilitates tight parking, reversing into tight spaces and for hitching a trailer. The car's approximate exterior dimensions are also illustrated by two dashed lines, the park assist lines can be deac- tivated in the settings menu. If the car is also equipped with parking assis- tance sensors* then their information is dis- played graphically as coloured fields in order to illustrate the distance to detected obstacles, see page 205. The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after reverse gear has been disengaged or until the car's speed exceeds 10 km/h. Camera location next to the opening handle. CAM button location. The camera shows what is behind the car and if something appears from the sides. The camera shows a wide area behind the car and part of the bumper and any towbar. Objects on the screen may appear to tilt slightly - this is normal. NOTE Objects on the display screen may be closer to the car than they appear to be on the screen. If another view is active the parking camera system takes over automatically and the cam- era image is displayed on the screen. 208 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. Light conditions The camera image is adjusted automatically according to prevailing light conditions. Because of this, the image may vary slightly in brightness and quality. Poor light conditions can result in a slightly reduced image quality. NOTE Keep camera lenses clear of dirt, snow and ice to ensure the best possible function. This is particularly important in poor light. Park assist lines Examples of how the park assist lines can be dis- played for the driver. The lines on the screen are projected as if they were at ground level behind the car and are directly related to steering wheel movement, 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Park assist camera* which shows the driver the path the car will take, even when turning. Boundary lines NOTE • When reversing with a trailer which is not connected electrically to the car, the lines on the display show the route the car will take - not the trailer. • The screen shows no lines when a trailer is connected electrically to the car's electrical system. • The parking camera is deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if a Volvo genuine trailer cable is used. IMPORTANT Bear in mind that the screen only shows the area behind the car - pay attention to the sides and front of the car when manoeuvring during reversing. 04 The system's lines. Boundary line, 30 cm zone backwards from the car Boundary line, free reversing zone "Wheel tracks" The unbroken line (1) frames in a zone that is within about 30 cm from the bumper. The dashed line (2) frames in a zone up to about 1.5 m back from the bumper. It is also the limit of the car's most protruding parts, such as door mirrors and corners - also during turning. The wide "wheel tracks" (3) between the side lines indicate where the wheels will roll and can extend about 3.2 m back from the bumper if no obstacle is in the way. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 209 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Park assist camera* Cars with reversing sensors* Colour / paint Yellow Orange Red Distance (metres) 1.5– 0.3–1.5 0–0.3 04 Coloured areas (x 4, one per sensor) show dis- tance. If the car is also equipped with parking assis- tance sensors (see page 205) the distance indi- cation will be more precise and the coloured areas show which of the 4 sensors is/are reg- istering an obstacle. The colour of the areas changes with decreas- ing distance to the obstacle - from yellow to orange to red. Settings Press OK/MENU when a camera view is shown. Make the settings as desired. Miscellaneous • The default setting is that the camera is activated when reverse gear is engaged. • One press on CAM activates the camera even if reverse gear is not engaged. • Change between normal and zoomed image by turning TUNE or by pressing CAM. • If the car has more cameras* installed then the camera in use is changed by turning TUNE. Limitations NOTE A bike carrier or other accessory mounted on the rear of the car could obscure the camera's view. Pay attention to the possibility that, even if it only looks like a relatively small part of the image is obscured, it could be a relatively large sector that is hidden from view. Obstacles could thereby go undetected until they are very close to the car. To bear in mind • Keep the camera lens free from dirt, ice and snow. • Clean the camera lens regularly with luke- warm water and car shampoo - take care not to scratch the lens. 210 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure BLIS* – Blind Spot Information System General information on BLIS WARNING The system is a supplement to, not a replacement for, a safe driving style and use of the rearview mirrors. It can never replace the driver's attention and responsibility. The responsibility for changing lanes safely always rests with the driver. The system is designed to work most effec- tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-lane highways. When a camera (1) has detected a vehicle inside the blind spot zone the indicator lamp (2) illuminates with a constant glow. NOTE The lamp illuminates on the side of the car where the system has detected the vehicle. If the car is overtaken on both sides at the same time then both lamps illuminate. BLIS advises the driver with a message if a fault arises in the system. If for example the sys- tem's cameras are obscured then the BLIS indicator lamp flashes and a message is shown on the information display. In such cases, check and clean the lenses. BLIS camera1 Indicator lamp BLIS symbol BLIS is an information system based on cam- era technology that under certain conditions can help the driver to notice vehicles moving in the same direction as the host vehicle in the so- called "blind spot". If necessary, the system can be switched off temporarily, see the section "Activate/deacti- vate". Blind spots 04 A = approx. 9.5 m and B = approx. 3.0 m. 1 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 211 04 Comfort and driving pleasure BLIS* – Blind Spot Information System Activate/deactivate 04 Button for activating/deactivating. BLIS is activated when the engine is started. The indicator lamps in the door panels flash three times when BLIS is activated. The system can be deactivated/activated after starting the engine with one press on the BLIS button. Some combinations of the selected equipment leave no vacant space for a button in the centre console - in which case the function is handled by the car's menu system MY CAR under BLIS. (For a Settings description of the menu system - see page 144). Car settings When BLIS is deactivated, the lamp in the but- ton goes out and a message is shown in the instrument panel display. When BLIS is activated the light in the button illuminates, a new text message is shown on the display and the indicator lamps in the door panels flash 3 times. Press the READ button to delete the text message. (For a description of messages - see page 142). When BLIS operates The system operates when the car is driven at a speed above 10 km/h. Overtaking The system is designed to react if: • you overtake another vehicle at a speed of up to 10 km/h faster than the other vehicle • you are overtaken by a vehicle travelling up to 70 km/h faster than you are travelling. WARNING BLIS does not work in sharp bends. BLIS does not work when the car is revers- ing. A wide trailer coupled to the car can conceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can pre- vent the vehicle in the screened area from being detected by BLIS. 212 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. Daylight and darkness In daylight the system reacts to the shape of the surrounding vehicles. The system is designed to detect motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles. In darkness the system reacts to the head- lamps of surrounding vehicles. If the head- lamps of surrounding vehicles are not switched on then the system does not detect the vehi- cles. This means for example that the system does not react to a trailer without headlamps which is towed behind a car or truck. WARNING The system does not react to cyclists or moped riders. The BLIS cameras have limitations similar to those of the human eye, i.e. they do not "see" as well e.g. in heavy snowfall, against strong light or in thick fog. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure BLIS* – Blind Spot Information System Cleaning In order to work most effectively the BLIS cam- era lenses must be clean. The lenses can be cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge. Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not scratched. IMPORTANT The lenses are electrically heated to melt ice or snow. If necessary, brush snow away from the lenses. Messages on the display Message Specification Blind-spot info system ON The BLIS system is activated. Blind spot syst. Service required Blind spot syst. Camera blocked Blind spot syst. dis- engaged - contact a workshop. The BLIS camera is blocked by dirt, snow or ice - clean the lenses. Message Specification Blind spot syst. Reduced function Blind-spot info system OFF IMPORTANT Reduced function in the data transmis- sion between the BLIS system's cam- era and the car's electrical system. The camera resets itself when the data transmission between the BLIS system's camera and the car's electri- cal system returns to normal. The BLIS system is deactivated. Repair of the BLIS system components must only be performed by a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended. Limitations In some situations the BLIS indicator lamp may illuminate despite there being no other vehicle within the blind spot. NOTE If the BLIS indicator lamp illuminates on iso- lated occasions despite there being no other vehicle within the blind spot then this does not mean that a fault has arisen in the system. In the event of a fault in the BLIS system the display shows the text Blind spot syst. Service required. The following illustrations show examples of situations where the BLIS indicator lamp may illuminate even if there is no other vehicle within the blind spot. 04 Reflection from shiny wet road surface. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 213 04 Comfort and driving pleasure BLIS* – Blind Spot Information System Own shadow on large light smooth surface, e.g. noise barrier or concrete road surface. 04 Low stationary sunlight shining into the camera. 214 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
