City Safety – introduction
City Safety™
4
is a support system designed
to help the driver avoid low speed collisions
when driving in slow-moving, stop-and-go
traffic.
City Safety™ is not active if your vehicle’s
speed is below approximately 2 mph
(4 km/h). This means that City Safety™ will
not react if your vehicle approaches another
vehicle at very low speed, for example, when
parking.
The function is active at speeds up to
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) and assists
the driver by applying the brakes automati-
cally, thereby avoiding or helping to reduce
the effects of a collision.
City Safety™ is designed to intervene as late
as possible to help avoid unnecessary activa-
tion.
City Safety™ triggers brief, forceful braking if
a low-speed collision is imminent. However,
the system will not intervene in situations
where the driver actively steers the vehicle or
applies the brakes, even if a collision cannot
be avoided. This is done in order to always
give the driver’s actions highest priority.
City Safety™ activates in situations where the
driver has not applied the brakes in time,
which means that the system cannot help the
driver in all situations.
City Safety™ should not be used to alter the
way in which the driver operates the vehicle.
The driver should never rely solely on this
system to safely stop the vehicle.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will
not be aware of City Safety™ except when
the system intervenes when a low-speed col-
lision is imminent.
If the vehicle is also equipped with the
optional Collision Warning with Full Auto-
brake and Pedestrian Detection system, the
two systems interact. For more information
about the Collision Warning with Auto-brake
system, see Collision warning – introduction
WARNING
•
City Safety™ is a supplemental aid to
the driver. It can never replace the
driver’s attention to traffic conditions
or his/her responsibility for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner.
•
City Safety™ does not function in all
driving situations or in all traffic,
weather or road conditions.
WARNING
•
City Safety™ only reacts to vehicles
traveling in the same direction as your
vehicle and does not react to small
vehicles or motorcycles or to people or
animals.
•
City Safety™ is not activated when
your vehicle is backing up.
•
City Safety™ functions at speeds up
to 30 mph (50 km/h). This system can
help prevent a collision if the differ-
ence in speed between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is less than
9 mph (15 km/h). If the difference in
speed is greater, a collision cannot be
avoided but the speed at which the
collision occurs can be reduced. The
driver must apply the vehicle’s brakes
for full braking effect.
•
City Safety™ will not intervene in a
potential collision situation if the vehi-
cle is being driven actively. The driver
is always responsible for maintaining a
safe distance to a vehicle or object
ahead.

City Safety – function
Function
City Safety™ monitors traffic ahead of you
using a laser sensor mounted in the upper
section of the windshield. If a collision is
imminent, City Safety™ will automatically
apply the brakes, which may feel like hard
braking.
If the difference in speed between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle ahead is more than
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City Safety™
alone cannot prevent a collision from taking
place. The driver must apply the brakes to
help avoid a collision or reduce its effect.
When the function activates and applies the
brakes, a message will appear in the informa-
tion display to indicate that the system is/has
been active.
•
When City Safety™ applies the
brakes, the brake lights will illuminate.
•
In cases where City Safety™ has stop-
ped the vehicle, the system will then
release the brakes. The driver must
apply the brakes to keep the vehicle at
a standstill.

City Safety – operation
Using City Safety™
The City Safety™ function is activated
automatically each time the engine has
been switched off and restarted.
On and Off
In certain situations, it may be desirable to
switch City Safety™ off, such as when driving
in close quarters where leaves, branches, etc.
may obscure the hood and windshield.
When the engine is running, City Safety™ can
be switched off as follows:
Press My Car in the center console control
panel and go to
Settings
Car settings
Driver support systems
City Safety
.
Select
Off
.
If the engine is switched off, City Safety™ will
reactivate when the engine is restarted.
WARNING
The laser sensor emits light when the igni-
tion is in mode II or higher, even if City
Safety™ has been switched off.
To switch City Safety™ on again:
•
Follow the same procedure as for switch-
ing City Safety™ off but select
On
.

Limitations
WARNING
The laser sensor has certain limitations
and its function may be reduced (or it may
not function at all) in conditions such as
heavy rain or snowfall, or by dense fog or
thick, blowing dust or snow. Condensa-
tion, dirt, ice or snow on the windshield
may also interfere with the sensor’s func-
tion.
The sensor used by City Safety™ is designed
to detect cars and other larger motor vehicles
ahead of your vehicle in both daylight and
darkness.
Objects such as warning flags hanging from
long objects on the roof or accessories such
as auxiliary lights or protective arches on the
front of the vehicle that are higher than the
hood may also impede the sensor’s function.
Braking distance to the vehicle ahead increa-
ses on slippery road surfaces, which may
reduce City Safety’s capacity to avoid a colli-
sion. In situations like this, the stability sys-
tem (see Stability system – introduction
(p. 141)) will help provide the best possible
braking capacity and stability.
City Safety™ emits a laser beam and meas-
ures the way in which the light is reflected.
07 Driver support

}}
171
Therefore, vehicles or objects with low-reflec-
tive surfaces may not be detected. Normally,
the license plate and taillight reflectors give
the rear section of a vehicle ahead sufficient
reflective surfaces to be detected.
•
Keep the windshield in front of the
laser sensor free of ice, snow, dirt,
etc., see City Safety – function
•
Snow or ice on the hood deeper than
2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sen-
sor. Keep the hood free of ice and
snow.
•
Do not mount or in any way attach
anything on the windshield that could
obstruct the laser sensor.

Troubleshooting
If
Windscreen Sensors blocked
appears in
the information display, this indicates that the
City Safety™ laser sensor is obstructed in
some way and cannot detect vehicles ahead
of you, which means that the system is not
functioning.
However, this message will not be displayed
in all situations in which the sensor is
obstructed. For this reason, the driver must
ensure that the area of the windshield in front
of the sensor is always kept clean.
The following table shows some of the situa-
tions that can cause the message to be dis-
played and suggested actions.
Cause
Action
The area of the wind-
shield in front of the sen-
sor is dirty or covered by
ice or snow.
Clean the
windshield or
remove the ice/
snow.
The laser sensor's field
of view is obstructed.
Remove the
obstruction.
If a crack, scratch or stone chip should
occur in the section of the windshield in
front the laser sensor, contact a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician to
repair or replace the windshield (see the
illustration showing the location of the sen-
sor in City Safety – function (p. 169)). Fail-
ing to do so may result in reduced City
Safety™ functionality.
To help prevent limited or reduced func-
tionality, please also observe the following:
•
Volvo recommends that cracks,
scratches or stone chips on the wind-
shield in front of the laser sensor
should not be repaired; in such cases,
the entire windshield should be
replaced.
•
Before the windshield is replaced,
contact a Volvo retailer to ensure that
the correct windshield is ordered and
installed. If the wrong type of wind-
shield is used, this may cause City
Safety™ to function improperly or not
at all. Volvo recommends the use of
only Genuine Volvo Replacement
Windshields.
•
When replacing windshield wipers, use
the same type or ones approved by
Volvo.

sor.
WARNING
The laser sensor emits light when the igni-
tion is in mode II or higher, even if City
Safety™ has been switched off.
WARNING
Eye injury may occur if any of the following
points are not followed:
•
It is essential that all pertinent instruc-
tions be followed when handling laser
instruments. Testing, repairing, remov-
ing, adjusting and/or replacing any
components in the laser sensor may
only be done by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
•
Do not remove the laser sensor
(including removal of the lenses). A
laser sensor that has been removed
belongs to laser class 3B according to
standard IEC 60825-1. Devices in laser
class 3B present a risk of injury to the
eyes.
•
The laser sensor’s connector must be
disconnected before the sensor is
removed from the windshield.
•
The laser sensor must be mounted in
place on the windshield before con-
necting the sensor’s connector.
•
Do not view the laser sensor (which
emits spreading, invisible laser beams)
with optical instruments from a dis-
tance of less than 4 inches (100 mm).

Collision warning – introduction
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full
Auto Brake is designed to assist the driver if
there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian,
a cyclist, a vehicle ahead that is at a standstill
or one that is moving in the same direction as
your vehicle.
This system consists of the following three
functions:
•
Collision Warning warns the driver of a
potential collision situation.
•
Brake Support helps the driver brake
efficiently in a critical situation.
•
Auto-brake brakes the vehicle automati-
cally if a collision with a pedestrian, a
cyclist or another vehicle cannot be avoi-
ded and the driver does not apply the
brakes in time or steer around the per-
son/vehicle. Auto-brake can help prevent
a collision or reduce the speed at which a
collision occurs.
Since Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with
Full Auto Brake is activated in circumstances
where the driver should have begun braking
much sooner, the system will not be able to
assist the driver in all situations.
This system is designed to activate as late as
possible to help avoid unnecessary interven-
tion.
The system should not be used in such a way
that the driver changes his/her way of operat-
ing the vehicle. If the driver relies entirely on
the system, the chances of an accident even-
tually occurring increase considerably.
The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full
Auto Brake and City Safety™ systems sup-
plement each other. See City Safety – intro-
duction (p. 168) for detailed information about
City Safety™.
WARNING
No automatic system can be guaranteed
to function 100% correctly in all situations.
For that reason, never test the Auto-brake
system by driving toward a person or
object. This could result in serious injury or
death.

WARNING
•
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with
Full Auto Brake does not work in all
driving, traffic, weather and road con-
ditions. It does not react to vehicles
not traveling in the same direction as
your vehicle.
•
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with
Full Auto Brake does not react to ani-
mals.
•
Warnings are only provided when the
risk of collision is high. The "Function"
section provides information about
limitations that the driver must be
aware of before using Collision Warn-
ing.
•
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with
Full Auto Brake will not provide a
warning or brake the vehicle for
pedestrians or cyclists at speeds
above 50 mph (80 km/h).
WARNING
•
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with
Full Auto Brake will not provide a
warning or brake the vehicle for
pedestrians in darkness or in tunnels,
even if there is street lighting in the
area.
•
The auto-brake function can help pre-
vent a collision or reduce the speed at
impact but the driver should always
apply the brakes for the best possible
braking effect, even if auto-brake is
actively applying the brakes.
•
Never wait for a collision warning. This
system is designed to be a supple-
mentary driving aid. It is not, however,
intended to replace the driver's atten-
tion and judgement. The driver is
responsible for maintaining a safe dis-
tance and speed, even when the colli-
sion warning system is in use.
•
Maintenance of the Pedestrian and
Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake
system's components must only be
performed by a trained and qualified
Volvo technician.

Radar sensor
Camera
Collision Warning
The radar sensor and the camera work
together to detect a pedestrian, a cyclist, sta-
tionary vehicles and vehicles that are moving
in the same direction as your vehicle. If there
is a risk of collision with a vehicle, a cyclist or
a pedestrian, the driver is alerted by a flash-
ing red warning light and an audible warning
signal. The system is active at speeds above
3 mph (4 km/h).
Brake Support
If the risk of collision continues to increase
after the collision warning has been given,
Brake Support is activated. Brake Support
prepares the brake system to react quickly,
and the brakes are applied slightly. This may
be experienced as a light tug.
If the brakes are applied quickly, full braking
effect will be provided. Brake Support also
increases brake force if the system deter-
mines that the driver has not applied ade-
quate pressure on the brake pedal.
Auto-brake
If a collision is imminent and the driver has
not applied the brakes or begun to steer
around the vehicle, pedestrian or a cyclist,
the auto-brake function is activated without
the driver pressing the brake pedal. Full brake
force is applied to help reduce the vehicle’s
speed when the collision occurs or limited
brake force is applied if this is sufficient to
avoid the collision.
The auto-brake and brake support func-
tions are always on and cannot be turned
off.

Collision warning* – Cyclist detection
The system can detect a cyclist and auto-
brake if certain parameters are fulfilled.
Optimal example of what the system considers
to be a cyclist: clear body/bike contours, straight
from behind and directly in front of the vehicle
In order to help detect a cyclist, the system
has to receive clear information about the
contours of the cyclist's body and the bike. It
has to able to clearly detect the bike, the
cyclist's head, arms, shoulders, legs and
upper and lower body combined with the per-
son's pattern of movement when cycling.
The function only detects cyclists from behind
who are moving in the same direction as your
vehicle
The Cyclist Detection feature requires the fol-
lowing in order to function:
•
The cyclist must be an adult riding an
"adult-size" bike
•
The bike must be equipped with an
approved and clearly visible rear-facing
red reflector that is mounted at least
27 in. (70 cm) above the road surface
•
The feature can only detect a cyclist
straight from behind and who is moving in
the same direction as your vehicle
•
A cyclist who is to the left or right of your
vehicle may be detected late or not at all.
•
The camera's capacity to see a cyclist at
dawn or dusk is limited, much as it is for
the human eye.
•
The camera's function is deactivated and
will not detect a cyclist in darkness or in

For optimal cyclist detection, City
Safety™ must be activated.
WARNING
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full
Auto Brake is designed to be a supple-
mentary driving aid. It is not, however,
intended to replace the driver's attention
and judgement. The driver is always
responsible for operating the vehicle in a
safe manner.
The system cannot detect a bike/cyclist if:
•
He/she is wearing loose-fitting clothing
that may obscure body contours
•
The bike is approaching your vehicle
from the side
•
The bike is not equipped with a rear-
facing red reflector
•
The bike is carrying large objects
•
Most of the cyclist's body or the bike
itself cannot be "seen" by the system's
camera

The system cannot identify all pedestrians
The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full
Auto Brake system can only identify and
detect a pedestrian who is standing upright.
This person can be standing still, walking or
running.
This means that the system has to be able to
identify a person's head, arms, shoulders,
legs, the upper and lower parts of the body
and a person's pattern of movement when
walking or running.
If parts of the body are not visible to the cam-
era, the system cannot detect the pedestrian.
The following conditions apply:

Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light
contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the
driver is not looking straight ahead may make
the visual warning signal in the windshield dif-
ficult to see. For this reason, always activate
the audible warning signal.
Slippery driving conditions increase braking
distance, which can reduce the system's
capacity to avoid a collision. In these condi-
tions, the ABS and stability systems provide
the best possible braking effect while helping
to maintain stability.
The visual warning signal may be tempo-
rarily disengaged in the event of high pas-
senger compartment temperature due to
strong sunlight, etc. If this occurs, the
audible warning signal will be used, even if
it has been deactivated in the menu sys-
tem.

WARNING
•
In certain situations, the system can-
not provide warnings or warnings may
be delayed if traffic conditions or other
external factors make it impossible for
the radar sensor or camera to detect a
pedestrian, a cyclist or a vehicle
ahead.
•
Warnings may not be provided if the
distance to the vehicle ahead is short,
or if movements of the steering wheel/
brake pedal are great, such as during
active driving.
•
The sensor system has a limited range
for pedestrians/cyclists and provides
warnings and braking effect most
effectively at speeds up to 30 mph
(50 km/h). For stationary or slow-mov-
ing vehicles, the system functions best
if your vehicle’s speed is below
approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
•
Warnings for stationary or slow-mov-
ing vehicles may not be provided in
dark conditions or in poor visibility.
The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full
Auto Brake system uses the same radar sen-
sors as Adaptive Cruise Control. For more
information on the radar sensor and its limita-
tions, see Adaptive Cruise Control – limita-
If warnings are given too frequently, the
warning distance can be reduced (see Col-
lision warning* – operation (p. 178)). This
causes the system to provide later warn-
ings, which decreases the total number of
warnings provided.

The system is not activated at speeds
under approx. 2 mph (4 km/h). There-
fore, it will not brake your vehicle if you
approach a vehicle ahead at very low
speed, such as when parking.
•
The driver's actions always have high-
est priority and override the Pedestrian
and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto
Brake system. This means that the
system will not intervene in situations
where the driver is actively steering,
braking or pressing the accelerator
pedal, even if a collision is imminent.
•
When Auto-brake has prevented a col-
lision with a stationary object, your
vehicle will remain at a standstill for
approx. 1.5 seconds. If your vehicle
has been braked for a moving vehicle
ahead, your vehicle's speed will be
reduced to the same speed as that
vehicle's.

The camera’s limitations
The camera has the same limitations as the
human eye.
The camera is used by Pedestrian and Cyclist
Detection with Full Auto Brake Collision warn-
ing – introduction (p. 175), Active High Beams
(Active high beams (AHB)* (p. 77)), Road Sign
Information (Road Sign Information (RSI)* –
introduction (p. 145)) and Driver Alert System
(Driver Alert System (p. 188)) with Lane
Departure Warning or Lane Keeping Aid.
•
To help protect the camera in very hot
conditions, it may be temporarily
switched off for approximately 15
minutes after the engine has been
started.
•
Keep the section of the windshield in
front of the camera clean and free of
ice, snow, or condensation.
WARNING
•
The camera has the same type of limi-
tations as the human eye, i.e., it can-
not see as well in heavy snowfall or
rain, thick fog or in heavy blowing dust
or snow. In such conditions, systems
depending on the camera may experi-
ence greatly reduced functionality or
may be temporarily deactivated.
•
Never place any objects, decals, etc.,
on the windshield in front of the cam-
era. This could reduce or block the
camera’s function, and could cause
one or more of the systems that utilize
the camera to stop functioning.
•
Strong sunlight, reflections from the
road surface, ice or snow covering the
road, a dirty road surface, or unclear
lane marker lines may drastically
reduce the camera’s capacity to
detect the side of a lane, a pedestrian,
a cyclist or another vehicle.
