played where appropriate. Additional signs 04 Examples of readable speed signs1. The Road sign information function (RSI – Road Sign Information) helps the driver to remember which road signs the car has passed through information on - among other things - the cur- rent speed, the start/end of a motorway or road, and when overtaking is prohibited. If a sign for both a motorway/road for motor- ised traffic and a sign showing the maximum permitted speed are passed, RSI decides to show the sign symbol for maximum permitted speed. Recorded speed information. When RSI has recorded a road sign with an imposed speed, the sign is displayed as a sym- bol on the instrument panel. Examples of additional signs1. Sometimes different speed limits are signpos- ted for the same road - an additional sign then indicates the circumstances under which the different speeds apply. The road section may be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain and/or fog, for example. An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use. 1 Road signs which are displayed in the instrument panel are dependent on the market - the illustration only shows a few examples. 148 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Driver support Road sign information - RSI* Here are several examples of what can disrupt the function: • Faded signs • Signs positioned on bends • Rotated or damaged signs • Concealed or poorly positioned signs. • Signs completely or partly covered with frost, snow and/or dirt. 04 The speed applicable on an exit is indicated by means of an additional sign containing an arrow. The arrow is dis- played under the symbol showing the speed. Speed signs linked to this type of additional sign are displayed only if the driver is using the direction indicator. Limited distance or time of day Some speeds are applicable only after a specific distance or at a certain time of day. The driver's attention is drawn to the situation by means of an empty frame under the sym- bol showing the speed. Setting in MY CAR The instrument panel’s speed symbol display can be disabled. To deactivate the RSI func- tion: • Uncheck the option in MY CAR Settings Car settings Road Sign Information and go back by pressing EXIT, see page 203. Speed warning The driver can opt to receive a warning (Speed Alert) when the applicable speed limit is excee- ded by 5 km/h or more. This warning is given by the symbol showing the applicable maxi- mum speed temporarily flashing when this speed is exceeded. To activate speed warning: • Check speed warning in MY CAR Car settings Settings and go back by pressing EXIT, see page 203. Speed alert Limitations The RSI function's camera sensor is limited - just like the human eye. Find out more about this on page 178. Signs which indirectly provide information on a prevailing speed limit, e.g. name signs for towns/districts, are not recorded by the RSI function. Options in MY CAR. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 149 04 Driver support Speed limiter* General information on the speed limiter A speed limiter (Speed Limiter) can be regar- ded as a reverse cruise control - the driver reg- ulates the speed using the accelerator pedal but is prevented from accidentally exceeding a pre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter. Operation 04 Activate and adjust the maximum speed (each press gives +/-5 km/h). Stored maximum speed (in brackets = Standby mode). Switch on and activate When the speed limiter is active the display will show its symbol in combination with the set maximum speed. Selection and storage of the highest possible speed in the memory can be made both during a journey and while stationary. While driving 1.

Scroll with the button until the instru- ment panel display shows the desired maximum speed. > The speed limiter is then active and the display (5) shows the maximum speed selected and the maximum speed stored in the memory. Changing the speed To change the stored speed: • Adjust with short presses on or every press gives +/- 5 km/h. The last presses made are stored in the memory. To adjust +/- 1 km/h: • Hold the button depressed and release when the instrument panel's display shows a point (5) at the desired maximum speed. Temporary deactivation - standby mode To temporarily deactivate the speed limiter and set it in standby mode: – Press > The display shows the stored maximum speed in brackets (5) and the driver can temporarily exceed the set maximum speed. The speed limiter is re-activated by one press on brackets disappear and the car's maxi- mum speed is again limited. at which the display's Temporary deactivation with the accelerator pedal The speed limiter can also be set in standby mode with the accelerator pedal, e.g. for rap- idly accelerating the car out of a situation: – Depress the accelerator pedal fully. > The display shows the stored maximum speed in brackets (5) and the driver can temporarily exceed the set maximum speed. The speed limiter is automatically re- activated after the release of the accel- erator pedal and the car's speed is slowed down to below the selected/ stored maximum speed - the display's brackets disappear and the car's maxi- mum speed is again limited. Alarm for speed exceeded On steep roads the engine braking effect may be inadequate and the selected maximum speed exceeded. The driver is alerted about this with an acoustic signal. 04 Driver support Speed limiter* The signal is active until the driver has slowed to below the selected maximum speed. NOTE The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds if the speed has been exceeded by at least 3 km/h provided that none of the buttons or has been depressed during the last half minute. Deactivate To deactivate the speed limiter: – Press the steering wheel button 04 > The display's symbol for the speed lim- iter and the set speed (5) are cleared. The selected and stored speed are thus deleted from the memory and cannot be resumed with the button. The driver can then use the accelerator pedal to choose a speed without limita- tion. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 151 04 Driver support Cruise control* General information on CC The cruise control (CC – Cruise Control) helps the driver maintain an even speed, resulting in a more relaxed driving on motorways and long, straight roads in regular traffic flows. Operation WARNING The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and intervene when the cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed and/or suitable distance. The driver always bears ultimate responsi- bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely. 04 The steering wheel buttons and display in cars with speed limiter1. 1 A Volvo dealer has updated information about what applies in each respective market. 152 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Selected speed (in brackets = Standby mode). Activating and setting the speed To enable cruise control: • Press the steering wheel button (1). > The symbol illuminates in the display (5) and the brackets around (---) km/h show that cruise control is set in standby mode. To activate cruise control: • At the required speed - press the steering wheel button or > Current speed is stored in the memory - the display text (---) km/h changes to show the selected speed, e.g. 100 km/h, without brackets. NOTE Cruise control cannot be engaged at speeds below 30 km/h. Changing the speed To change the stored speed: • Press briefly on the steering wheel button, - most recent presses are stored or in memory. A temporary increase in speed with the accel- erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the cruise control setting - the car returns to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is released. 04 Driver support Cruise control* Resume set speed Cruise control in standby mode is re-activated with one press on the steering wheel button - the speed is then set to the last stored speed. NOTE A significant increase in speed may arise after the speed has been resumed with Deactivate The cruise control is switched off with the steering wheel button (1) or by switching off the engine - the set speed is deleted from the memory and cannot be resumed with the button. 04 NOTE If any of the Cruise Control buttons are held down for more than approx. 1 minute, it is blocked and disabled. To be able to reacti- vate Cruise Control, the car must be stop- ped and the engine restarted. Temporary deactivation - standby mode To temporarily disengage cruise control and set it in standby mode: • Press the steering wheel button > Set speed is shown in brackets in the dis- play (5), e.g. (100) km/h. Automatic standby mode Cruise control is temporarily disengaged and set in standby mode if: • wheels lose traction • the foot brake is used • speed falls below approx. 30 km/h • the clutch pedal is depressed • the gear selector is moved to neutral posi- tion (automatic gearbox) • the driver maintains a speed higher than the set speed for longer than 1 minute. The driver must then regulate the speed. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 153 04 Driver support Adaptive cruise control* General information on ACC The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. An adaptive cruise control provides a more relaxing driving experience on long journeys on motorways and long straight main roads in smooth traffic flows. The driver sets the desired speed and time interval to the car in front. When the radar detector detects a slower vehicle in front of the car, the speed is automatically adapted to that. When the road is clear again the car returns to the selected speed. If the adaptive cruise control is switched off or set to the standby mode and the car comes too close to a vehicle in front, then the driver is warned by Distance Warning (see page 165) about the short distance. 04 WARNING Function 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. IMPORTANT Maintenance of adaptive cruise control components must only be performed at a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. Automatic gearbox Cars with automatic gearbox have enhanced functionality with the adaptive cruise control's Queue Assistant, see page 159. Function overview1. Warning lamp - braking by driver required Steering wheel keypad Radar sensor Adaptive cruise control consists of a cruise control system and a coordinated spacing sys- tem. 1 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may differ depending on car model. 154 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. WARNING 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 distance to the vehicle ahead is mainly measured by a radar sensor. Cruise control regulates the speed with acceleration and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a low sound when they are being used by the Adap- tive cruise control. WARNING The brake pedal moves when the cruise control brakes. Do not rest your foot under the brake pedal as it could become trapped. The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval set by the driver. If the radar sensor cannot see any vehicle in front then the car will instead maintain the cruise control's set speed. This also happens if the speed of the vehicle in front exceeds the cruise control's set speed. The adaptive cruise control aims to control the speed in a smooth way. In situations that demand sudden braking the driver must brake himself/herself. This applies with large differ- ences in speed, or if the vehicle in front brakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may come unexpectedly or not at all, see page 160. The adaptive cruise control can be activated to follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h2 up to 200 km/h. If the speed falls below 30 km/h or if the engine speed becomes too low, the cruise control is set in standby mode at which automatic braking ceases - the driver must then take over himself/herself to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead. Warning lamp - braking by driver required Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to more than 40% of the car's braking capacity. 2 Queue Assistant (in cars with automatic gearbox) can operate in the range of 0-200 km/h, see page 159. 04 Driver support Adaptive cruise control* If the car needs to be braked more heavily than cruise control capacity and the driver does not brake, then the cruise control uses the collision warning system's warning lamp and warning sound (see page 173) to alert the driver that immediate intervention is required. NOTE The warning lamp may be difficult to notice in strong sunlight or when sunglasses are being worn. 04 WARNING Cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor. Consequently there may be no warning or it may be sub- ject to a delay. Do not wait for a warning but brake when it is necessary. Steep roads and/or heavy load Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving on level road surfaces. It may have difficultly in keeping the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when driving on steep roads, with a heavy load or with a trailer - in which case, be extra atten- tive and ready to slow down. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 155 04 Driver support Adaptive cruise control* Operation Time interval4 - On (during adjustment).

When the symbol to detected a vehicle. the radar sensor has changes Only when the symbol (with car) is illuminated, is the distance to the vehicle in front regulated by the cruise control. Changing the speed To change the stored speed: • Adjust with short presses on or every press gives +/- 5 km/h. The last presses made are stored in the memory. If speed is increased using the accelerator pedal prior to pressing the button, then it is the car's current speed when the button is pressed that is stored in the cruise control. • In active mode the button has the same function as increase in speed: + 1 km/h. but results in a lower NOTE If any of the Cruise Control buttons are held down for more than approx. 1 minute, it is blocked and disabled. To be able to reacti- vate Cruise Control, the car must be stop- ped and the engine restarted. In certain situations, cruise control cannot be activated. Then the display shows Cruise control Unavailable, see page 162. Set time interval 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 approx. 1 second to the vehicle in front, 5 lines approx. 3 seconds. To set/change the time interval: • Increase or decrease with the steering wheel keypad's thumbwheel (or the but- tons for cars without Speed limiter). At low speed, when the distances are short, the adaptive cruise control increases the time interval slightly. The adaptive cruise control allows the time interval to vary noticeably in certain situations in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle in front smoothly and comfortably. Note that small intervals only allow the driver a short time to react and take action if any unforeseen traffic problem should arise. 04 Driver support Adaptive cruise control* 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 Distance Warning is activated, see page 165. NOTE Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations. If Cruise Control does not appear to react when activated, this may be because the time distance to the car in front is preventing an increase in speed. The higher the speed the longer the calcu- lated distance in metres for a given time interval. Temporary deactivation - standby mode To temporarily disengage Cruise control and set it in standby mode: • Press the steering wheel button > Set speed is shown in brackets in the dis- play, e.g. (100). 04 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 157 04 Driver support Adaptive cruise control* Keypad without Speed limiter* To temporarily disengage Cruise control and set it in standby mode: • Press the steering wheel button Standby mode due to driver intervention Cruise control is temporarily disengaged and set in standby mode if: • the foot brake is used • the clutch pedal is depressed for longer than 1 minute6 • the gear selector is moved to N position (automatic gearbox) • the driver maintains a speed higher than the set speed for longer than 1 minute. The driver must then regulate the speed. A temporary increase in speed with the accel- erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the cruise control setting - the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released. Automatic standby mode The Adaptive cruise control is dependent on other systems, e.g.. DSTC (see page 146). If 04 any of these systems stop working then cruise control is automatically deactivated. In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message Cruise control Cancelled is shown in the display. The driver must then intervene and adapt the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. An automatic deactivation can be due to: • engine speed is too low/high • speed falls below 30 km/h7 • wheels lose traction • brake temperature is high • the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked). Resume set speed Cruise control in standby mode is re-activated with one press on the steering wheel button - the speed is then set to the last stored speed. NOTE A significant increase in speed may arise after the speed has been resumed with Overtaking another vehicle When the car is following another vehicle and the driver indicates an imminent overtake with the direction indicator8, the Cruise control helps to briefly accelerate the car towards the vehicle in front. The function is active at speeds above 70 km/h. WARNING Be aware that this function can be activated in more situations other than during over- taking, e.g. when a direction indicator is used to indicate a change of lane or exit to another road - the car will then accelerate briefly. Deactivate Keypad with Speed limiter Adaptive cruise control is deactivated with the steering wheel button cleared and cannot be resumed with the button. Keypad without Speed limiter With a short press on the steering wheel button the cruise control is set in standby mode. . The set speed is 6 Disengaging and selecting a higher or lower gear does not involve standby mode. 7 Does not apply to a car with Queue Assistant - it manages right down to stationary. 8 On left flash only in left-hand drive car, or right flash in right-hand drive car. 158 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. With a further short press the cruise control is deactivated. The set speed is cleared and can- not be resumed with the button. With automatic gearbox the cruise control can follow another vehicle within the range of 0-200 km/h. Queue Assistant In cars with automatic gearbox Adaptive cruise control is supplemented with the Queue Assis- tant function (also referred to as "Queue Assist"). Queue Assistant has the following functions: • Extended speed range - also below 30 km/ h and at standstill • Change of target • Automatic braking ceases when stationary • Automatic activation parking brake. Note that the lowest programmable speed for the cruise control is 30 km/h - even though the cruise control is capable of following another vehicle down to a standstill, a lower speed cannot be selected. Extended speed range NOTE In order to activate the cruise control the driver's door must be closed and the driver must be wearing the seatbelt. NOTE Activation of the cruise control below 30 km/h requires a vehicle in front within a reasonable distance. For shorter stops in connection with inching in slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is auto- matically resumed if the stops do not exceed about 3 seconds - if it takes longer before the car in front starts moving again then the cruise control is set in standby mode with automatic braking. The driver must then re-activate the cruise control in one of the following ways: • Press the steering wheel button or • Depress the accelerator pedal. > The cruise control will then resume follow- ing the vehicle in front. 04 Driver support Adaptive cruise control* NOTE Queue Assist can hold the car stationary for a maximum of 4 minutes - then the parking brake is applied and Cruise Control is dis- engaged. • The driver has to release the parking brake before the cruise control can be reactivated. Change of target 04 If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front. When the cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h and changes target from a moving to a stationary vehicle, the cruise control will slow down for the stationary vehicle. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 159 The radar sensor and its limitations The radar sensor is used - apart from by Adap- tive cruise control - by the following functions as well: • Collision Warning with Auto Brake, see page 173 • Distance Warning, see page 165. The function of the radar sensor 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 04 Driver support Adaptive cruise control* WARNING When the cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds in excess of 30 km/h and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the cruise control will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead select the stored speed. • The driver must intervene him/herself and brake. Automatic standby mode with change of target Cruise control is disengaged and set in standby mode: • when the speed is below 5 km/h and cruise control is not sure whether the target object is a stationary vehicle or some other object, e.g. a speed bump. • when the speed is below 5 km/h and the vehicle in front turns off so the cruise con- trol no longer has a vehicle to follow. Termination of automatic braking at a standstill In certain situations Queue Assist automati- cally interrupts braking when stationary. This means that the brakes are released and the car may start to roll - the driver must therefore intervene and brake the car himself/herself in order to maintain its position. Queue Assist releases the foot brake and sets cruise control in standby mode in the following situations: • 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 Queue Assist applies the parking brake in order to keep the car station- ary. This takes place if: • the driver opens the door or takes off his/ her seatbelt • DSTC is changed from Normal to Sport mode • Queue Assist has held the car stationary for more than 4 minutes • the engine is switched off • the brakes have overheated. 160 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Driver support 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 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. 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 area in front of the radar sensor clean - see "Maintenance" on page 176. ACC field of vision. • if the speed of vehicles in front is signifi- cantly different from your own speed. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 161 04 Driver support Adaptive cruise control* 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. This means that in addition to the Adaptive Cruise Control, Distance Warning and Collision Warning with Auto Brake functions are not operating either. The following table presents possible causes for a message being shown along with the appropriate action. 04 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. Symbols and messages in the display Symbol Message Specification Standby mode or active mode without detected vehicle.

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). 04 164 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Driver support Distance Warning* 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. 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 202. Car settings Warning Set time interval Operation 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. 165 04 Driver support 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 approximately 3 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 156. 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 160. 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. 166 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Driver support Distance Warning* Symbols and messages in the display Symbol Message Specification Set time interval, during adjustment.

The function is active at speeds under50 km/h and it helps the driver by auto- matically braking the car in the event of immi- nent 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 173. 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. 168 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 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. 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 78 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: Car settings • Using MY CAR on the centre console dis- play screen with its menu system, search and locate Settings Driver support systems Select the Off option. For more information on the menu system MY CAR, see page 202. However, the function will be enabled the next time the engine is started, regardless of whether the system was enabled or dis- abled when the engine was switched off. City Safety. 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 - or none at all - 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. 04 Driver support 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 laser 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 your own car is reversing, City Safety™ is temporarily deactivated. 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 or acceler- ating in a clear manner, even if a collision is unavoidable. 04 169 04 Driver support 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 168). • 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. 170 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 168) - 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: • Before replacing a windscreen, contact an authorised Volvo workshop to verify that the correct windscreen is ordered and fitted. Using the wrong windscreen may result in the City Safety function failing to operate or operating incor- rectly. • 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. 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 168 shows sensor location). For more information on the laser sensor, see page 9. 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. A text message can be acknowledged by briefly pressing the OK button on the direction indicator stalk. 04 Driver support City Safety™ 04 171 04 Driver support City Safety™ Symbol Message Meaning/Action Auto braking by City Safety City Safety™ is braking or has automatically braked. 04 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 169. City Safety Service required City Safety™ is not operational. • Visit a workshop if the message remains - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. 172 04 Driver support Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* General "Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes- trian Detection" is an aid to assist the driver when there is a risk of colliding with a pedes- trian or vehicle in front that is stationary or moving in the same direction. Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection is activated in situations where the driver should have started braking earlier, which is why it cannot help the driver in every situation. Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary inter- vention. Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection may prevent a collision or reduce the collision speed. Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection must not be used as an excuse for the driver to change his/her driving style. If the driver solely relies on Collision Warning with Auto Brake to do the braking, there will be a collision sooner or later. Two system levels Depending on how the car equipped, the Col- lision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection function may appear in two variants: Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 The driver is merely warned of occurring obsta- cles by means of visual and acoustic signals - no automatic braking intervenes, the driver must himself brake. Level 2 The driver is warned of occurring obstacles by means of visual and acoustic signals - the car is braked automatically if the driver himself does not act within a reasonable time. IMPORTANT Maintenance of components included in Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes- trian Detection must only be carried out in a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. 1 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model. 2 With system Level 2 only. Function 04 Function overview1. Audio-visual warning signal in the event of a collision risk. Radar sensor2 Camera sensor Collision Warning with Auto Brake executes three steps in the following order: 1. Collision warning 2. Brake support2 3. Auto Brake2 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 173 04 Driver support Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* 04 The collision warning system and City Safety™ complement each other. For more information on City Safety™, see page 168. 1 - Collision warning The driver is first warned of a potentially immi- nent collision. The collision warning system detects pedes- trians, stationary vehicles as well as vehicles driving in the same direction in front of the car. If there is a risk of collision with a pedestrian or a vehicle, the driver's attention is attracted with a flashing red warning signal (no. [1] in the illus- tration on page 173) and an acoustic signal. 2 - Brake support2 If the risk of collision has increased further after the collision warning then the brake support is activated. This means that the brake system is prepared for rapid braking by applying the brakes lightly, which may feel like a slight jolt. 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. 2 With system Level 2 only. 3 - Auto Brake2 The automatic brake function is activated last. 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 - this takes place 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 sufficient to avoid a collision. 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. This section "Function" and the section "Limitations" inform about limitations that the driver must be aware of before using the Collision Warning system 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. 174 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Driver support Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* Detection of pedestrians 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 an assistance tool. This function cannot detect all pedestrians in all situations and it cannot see e.g. parti- ally obscured pedestrians, people in cloth- ing 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. 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 202. NOTE The Brake Support and Auto Brake func- tions are always enabled - they cannot be deactivated. 04 On and Off To select whether the collision warning system should be switched on or off: • Use the menu system MY CAR via the centre console display to search for Settings Driver support systems there, select On or Off. Car settings Collision Warning - An activated function is tested every time the engine is started by briefly illuminating the sep- arate lights for the warning lamp (no. [1] in the illustration on page 173). When starting the engine, the setting that was selected when the engine was switched off is obtained automatically. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 175 04 Driver support Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* 04 Activating/deactivating warning signals The warning lamp (no. [1] in the illustration on page 173) is activated automatically when the engine is started if Collision Warning is ena- bled. The warning sound can be activated/deacti- vated separately: • Select On or Off in the menu system MY CAR under Settings Driver support systems Warning Warning sound. Car settings Collision 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 Driver 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 165. 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. WARNING No automatic system can guarantee 100 % correct function in all situations. Therefore, never test the Auto Brake system by driving at people or vehicles - this may cause severe damage and injury and risk lives. 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 Collision Warning, see page 202. Driver support systems Maintenance Camera and radar sensor3. 3 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model. 176 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. For the sensors to work correctly, they must be kept clear of dirt, ice and snow, and be cleaned regularly with water and car shampoo. NOTE Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors will reduce their function and may prevent measurement. Limitations Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Pedes- trian Detection is active from approx. 4 km/h. The visual warning signal (no. [1] in the illustra- tion on page 173) may be difficult to notice in the event of strong sunlight, reflections, when sunglasses are being worn or if the driver is not looking straight ahead. The warning sound should therefore always be activated. 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. 04 Driver support Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* NOTE WARNING 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. 04 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. Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians are switched off at vehicle speeds exceeding 80 km/h. 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 178. If warnings are perceived as being too frequent or disturbing then the warning distance can be reduced. This then leads to the system provid- ing a warning at a later stage, which reduces the total number of warnings; see the section "Set warning distance" on page 176. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 177 04 Driver support 04 Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* Collision Warning with Auto Brake is tempo- rarily deactivated with reverse gear engaged. Collision Warning with Auto Brake is not acti- vated at low speeds - under 4 km/h, which is why the system does not intervene in situations where the car is approaching a vehicle in front very slowly, e.g. when parking. In situations where the driver demonstrates active, aware driving behaviour, a collision warning may be postponed slightly in order to keep unnecessary warnings to a minimum. 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 also used - as well as by Collision Warning with Auto Brake - by the functions: • Automatic main/dipped beam dimming - see page 88 • Road sign information - see page 148 • Driver Alert Control – see page 182 • Lane Departure Warning – see page 185. 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. The field of vision of the camera sensor is lim- ited, which is why pedestrians and vehicles cannot be detected in some situations, or they are detected later than anticipated. During very high temperatures the camera is temporarily switched off for about 15 minutes 178 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. after the engine is started in order to protect camera functionality. 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. At the same time, this means that - besides Collision Warning with Auto Brake - the Auto- matic main/dipped beam dimming, Road sign information, Driver Alert Control and Lane Departure Warning functions will not have full functionality either. The following table presents possible causes for a message being shown along with the appropriate action. 04 Driver support Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection* Cause Action Cause Action Cause Action The windscreen sur- face in front of the camera has been cleaned but the message remains. Wait. It may take several minutes for the camera to meas- ure the visibility. Dirt has appeared between the inside of the windscreen and the camera. Visit a workshop to have the windscreen inside the camera cover cleaned - an authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended. 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.
