Adaptive cruise control*
04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.177 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 188) and the Distance Alert function (see
page 181). 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.
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.
The Function section and onwards informs
about limitations of which the driver should
be aware 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.
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 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.
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.

City Safety™
04

185
If the difference in speed between the vehicles
is 15-30 km/h, City Safety™ may not prevent
the collision on its own. To obtain full brake
force, the driver must depress the brake pedal.
This could make it possible to prevent a colli-
sion even at speed differences 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 81 on key
positions).
On and OffIn 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:Using MY CAR on the centre console display
screen with its menu system, search and locate
SETUP
Car settingsDriver support
system
City Safety. Select the option Off.
(For information on the menu system MY
CAR, see page 142.)
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.
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.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.

behind and in front of the car, then the tone
sounds alternately from the loudspeakers.
Rear 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.
Front parking assistance
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.
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.
