Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
04
150* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
WARNING
•Adaptive Cruise Control is not a colli-
sion avoidance system. The driver is
always responsible for applying the
brakes if the system does not detect
another vehicle.
•Adaptive Cruise Control does not react
to people or animals, or small vehicles
such as bicycles and motorcycles. It
also does not react to slow moving,
parked or approaching vehicles, or sta-
tionary objects.
•Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control in
demanding driving conditions such as
city driving or other heavy traffic situa-
tions, in slippery conditions, when there
is a great deal of water or slush on the
road, during heavy rain or snow, in poor
visibility, on winding roads or on high-
way on- or off-ramps.
Fault tracing and actions
If the message Radar blocked See manual is
displayed, this means that the radar signals
from the sensor have been obstructed and that
a vehicle ahead cannot be detected.
This, in turn, means that the functions of the
ACC, Distance Alert, and Collision Warning
System with Auto-brake will not function.
The table lists possible causes for this mes-
sage being displayed, and suitable actions.
CauseAction
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty or obstructed in some way.Clean the radar surface, or remove the object causing the obstruction.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.No action possible. Heavy precipitation may affect the function of the
radar.

City Safety™
04
156
Introduction
City Safety™1 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 ranging from
approximately 2-18 mph (4-30 km/h) and
assists the driver by applying the brakes auto-
matically, 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 avoi-
ded. 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, whichmeans 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 sys-
tem 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 collision
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 Colli-
sion Warning with Auto-brake system, see
page 162.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.
•City Safety™ only reacts to vehicles
traveling in the same direction as your
vehicle and does not react to small vehi-
cles, bicycles or motorcycles or to peo-
ple or animals.
•City Safety™ is not activated when your
vehicle is backing up.
•City Safety™ functions at speeds up to
18 mph (30 km/h). This system can help
prevent a collision if the difference 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 brak-
ing effect.
•Never wait for City Safety™ to intervene
in a potential collision situation. The

driver is always responsible for main-
taining a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead.
Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield
City Safety™ monitors traffic ahead of you
using a laser sensor mounted in the upper sec-
tion of the windshield. If a collision is imminent,
City Safety™ will automatically apply the
brakes at approximately 50% of the vehicle’s
full braking effect if you are traveling at speeds
between 2-18 mph (4-30 km/h).
•If the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), CitySafety™ can help prevent a collision from
taking place.
•If the difference in speed is between
approximately 10-18 mph (16-30 km/h),
City Safety™ alone cannot avoid a colli-
sion. The driver must apply the brakes for
full braking 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.
NOTE
•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.
Using City Safety™
NOTE
The City Safety™ function is activated auto-
matically each time the engine has been
switched off and restarted.
On and OffIn 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 systemsCity safety.
Select
Off.
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 by
pressing RESET.

Collision warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection*
04
162* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and
Pedestrian Detection is designed to assist the
driver if there is a risk of a collision with a
pedestrian, a vehicle ahead that is at a stand-
still or one that is moving in the same direction
as your vehicle.
Collision Warning consists of the following
three functions:
•Collision Warning warns the driver of a
potential collision situation.
•Brake Support helps the driver brake effi-
ciently in a critical situation.
•Auto-brake brakes the vehicle automati-
cally if a collision with a pedestrian or
another vehicle cannot be avoided and the
driver does not apply the brakes in time or
steer around the person/vehicle. Auto-
brake can help prevent a collision or
reduce the speed at which a collision
occurs.
WARNING
•Collision Warning does not work in all
driving, traffic, weather and road condi-
tions. It does not react to vehicles not
traveling in the same direction as your
vehicle.
•Collision Warning does not react to ani-
mals.
•Warnings are only provided when the
risk of collision is high. The "Function"
section provides information about lim-
itations that the driver must be aware of
before using Collision Warning.
•Collision Warning will not provide a
warning or brake the vehicle for pedes-
trians at speeds above 50 mph
(80 km/h).
•Collision Warning will not provide a
warning or brake the vehicle for pedes-
trians 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 supplemen-
tary 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 Collision Warning
system's components must only be
performed by a trained and qualified
Volvo technician.

body and the person must be at least
32 in. (80 cm) tall.
•The system cannot detect a pedestrian
carrying a large object.
•The camera's capacity to see a pedestrian
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 pedestrian in darkness or
in tunnels, even if there is street lighting in
the area.
WARNING
•Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake
and Pedestrian Detection is designed to
be a supplementary driving aid. It is not,
however, intended to replace the driv-
er's attention and judgement. The driver
is always responsible for operating the
vehicle in a safe manner.
•The system cannot detect all pedes-
trians in all situations, such as in dark-
ness/at night and cannot detect parti-
ally hidden pedestrians, people who are
less than approx. 32 in. (80 cm) tall, or
people wearing clothing that obscures
the contours of their bodies.
Fault tracing and actions
If the message Windscreen Sensors
blocked is displayed, this means that the cam-
era is obscured and cannot detect pedestrians,
vehicles or road marker lines in front of the
vehicle.
This, in turn, means that Collision Warning with
Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection,
Lane Departure Warning, and Driver Alert Con-
trol will not have full functionality.
The table lists possible causes for this mes-
sage being displayed, and suitable actions.

Blind Spot Information System*
04
182* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
G021426
BLIS camera
Indicator light
BLIS symbol
The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is an
information system that indicates the presence
of another vehicle moving in the same direction
as your vehicle in the side-view mirror's "blind
area."
CAUTION
The BLIS system should only be repaired by
a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.
WARNING
•BLIS is an information system, NOT a
warning or safety system.
•BLIS does not eliminate the need for
you to visually confirm the conditions
around you, and the need for you to turn
your head and shoulders to make sure
that you can safely change lanes.
•As the driver, you have full responsibility
for changing lanes in a safe manner.
The system is based on digital camera tech-
nology. The cameras are located beneath the
side-view mirrors.
When one (or both) of the cameras have
detected a vehicle in the blind area (up to
approximately 10 ft. (3 meters) from the side of
your vehicle, and up to approximately 31 ft.
(9.5 meters) behind the side-view mirror), see
the illustration, the indicator light in the door
panel illuminates. The light will glow continu-
ously to alert the driver of the vehicle in the
blind area.
NOTE
The door panel indicator light illuminates on
the side of the vehicle where the system has
detected another vehicle. If your vehicle is
passed on both sides at the same time, both
lights will illuminate.
BLIS has an integrated function that alerts the
driver if a fault should occur with the system.
For example, if one or both of the system's
cameras are obscured, a message (see the
table on page 184) will appear in the informa-
tion display in the instrument panel. If this
occurs, clean the camera lenses. If necessary,
the system can be temporarily switched off (for
instructions, see page 184).
Areas monitored by BLIS Distance A = approx.
31 ft. (9.5 meters), Distance B = approx. 10 ft.
(3 meters)

229 Introduction
The infotainment system's voice control fea-
ture1 enables you to voice-activate certain
functions in a BluetoothŸ-connected cell
phone or the navigation system.
NOTE
•The information in this section applies
to using voice commands to operate a
Bluetooth
Ÿ-connected cell phone.
See also the section "BluetoothŸ
hands-free connection" beginning on
page 221 for detailed information about
using a cell phone with the vehicle's
infotainment system.
•The navigation system has a separate
user's guide containing information
about voice commands for operating
that system.
Voice commands offer convenience and help
avoid distractions so that you can concentrate
on driving and focus your attention on road and
traffic conditions.
WARNING
As the driver, you have full responsibility for
operating the vehicle safely and adhering to
all applicable traffic regulations.
The voice control feature provides access to a
number of functions in the BluetoothŸ hands-
free and navigation systems while allowing you
to keep your hands on the steering wheel. Input
is in dialogue form using spoken commands
from the user and verbal prompts from the sys-
tem. Voice control uses the same microphone
as the Bluetooth
Ÿ hands-free system (see the
illustration on page 221) and system prompts
are provided through the infotainment sys-
tem's front speakers.
Since the microphone is positioned directly in
front of the driver, voice commands given by
other occupants of the vehicle may not be
understood.
Getting started
Voice control button on the steering wheel
Activating the systemBefore any phone voice commands can be
used, a BluetoothŸ-enabled cell phone must
be paired with the infotainment system. If a
phone command is given, the system will
inform you If there are no cell phones paired.
See page 222 for information on pairing a cell
phone.
Press the voice control button (1 in the illustra-
tion) to activate the system and initiate a com-
mand dialogue. The system will display com-
monly used commands on the screen when the
button has been pressed.

231 Using voice commands
The driver initiates a voice command dialogue
by pressing the voice control button (see the
illustration on page 229).
When a dialogue has been initiated, commonly
used commands will be shown in the display.
Grayed-out texts or texts in parentheses are
not part of the spoken command.
Once you become familiar with the system, you
can speed up the command dialogue by briefly
pressing the voice control button to skip
prompts from the system.
Commands can be given in several ways.
For example, the command "Phone call con-
tact" can be spoken as:
•"Phone > Call contact"—say "Phone," wait
for a system response, and then continue
by saying "Call contact."
•"Phone call contact"—give the entire com-
mand at one time
The following is a list of features that can be
voice-controlled with a Bluetooth
Ÿ-connected
cell phone.
Dialing a numberThe system understands the digits zero to nine.
These numbers can be spoken individually, in
groups of several digits at a time, or the entirenumber can be given at once. Numbers above
nine will not be recognized.
The following is an example of a voice com-
mand dialogue. The system's response may
vary depending on the situation.
The user initiates the dialogue by saying:Phone > dial number
or
Phone dial number
System responseNumber please
User actionBegin saying the digits in the phone number. If
you say several digits and pause, the system
will repeat them and prompt you by saying
"Continue."
Continue saying the digits. When you have fin-
ished, complete the command by saying
"Dial."
•You can also change the number by using
the commands "Correction" (which dele-
tes the last group of digits spoken) or
"Delete" (which will erase the entire phone
number).
Dialing from a call listThis feature lets you make a call from one of
your cell phone's call lists.
The user initiates the dialogue by saying:Phone > dial from call list
or
Phone dial from call list
Continue by responding to the system's
prompts.
Calling a contactThis feature enables you to call pre-defined
contacts. Contacts must be created in your cell
phone. See the phone's user's guide if neces-
sary.
The user initiates the dialogue by saying:Phone > call contact
or
Phone call contact
Continue by responding to the system's
prompts.
When calling contacts, keep the following in
mind:
•If there are several contacts with similar
names, they will be presented in the dis-
play in numbered lines and the system will
prompt you to pick a line number
•If there are more lines in the list than can
be displayed at one time, saying "Down"
will enable you to scroll downward in the
