Rain sensor*
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper speed according to the amount of water onthe windshield. The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted moving the thumb wheel up (thewipers will sweep the windshield more fre-quently) or down (the wipers will sweep thewindshield less frequently).
NOTE
The wipers will make an extra sweep each time the thumb wheel is adjusted upward.
When the rain sensor is activated, the symbol
will illuminate in the instrument panel.
Activating and setting the sensitivityWhen activating the rain sensor, the vehicle must be running or in ignition mode II and the
windshield wiper lever must be in position 0
or in the single sweep position. Activate the rain sensor by pressing the but- ton
. The windshield wipers will make
one sweep. Press the lever up for the wipers to make an extra sweep. The rain sensor returns to activemode when the stalk is released back toposition 0.
DeactivatingDeactivate the rain sensor by pressing the button
or press the lever down to
another wiper position. The rain sensor is automatically deactivated when the key is removed from the ignitionslot or five minutes after the ignition has beenswitched off.
CAUTION

Windshield washer
Move the lever toward the steering wheel to start the windshield and headlight washers.After the lever is released the wipers makeseveral extra sweeps.
Washing function
Heated washer nozzles*The washer nozzles are heated automatically in cold weather to help prevent the washerfluid from freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing*High-pressure headlight washing consumes alarge quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,the headlights are washed using two alterna-tives:
• Low/high beam headlights on.
The
headlights will be washed the first time the windshield is washed. Thereafter, theheadlights will only be washed once for

Ventilated seats
Seat ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating (p. 123) to e.g., help remove
dampness from the seat occupant's clothing.
Ventilated front seats*The ventilation system consists of fans in theseats and backrests that draw air through theseat upholstery. The cooling effect increasesas the air in the passenger compartmentbecomes cooler. The ventilation is controlled by the ECC sys- tem (p. 122), which takes into account theseat temperature, sunlight in the passengercompartment, and the ambient temperature. The ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating. The ventilation system can be activated when the engine is running. There are three comfortlevels that produce different cooling anddehumidifying effects:
• Level three: press the button once for maximum output – three indicator lightscome on.

Radar sensor
The radar sensor is designed to help detect cars or larger vehicles driving in the samedirection as your vehicle, in the same lane.
The radar sensor and its limitationsIn addition to being used by the AdaptiveCruise Control (ACC), the radar sensor is alsoused by Distance Alert (see Distance Alert –introduction (p. 185)) and Collision Warningwith Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detec-tion (see Collision warning – introduction(p. 196)).
WARNING
•If there is visible damage to the front grille or you suspect that the radarsensor may be damaged in any way,contact a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician as soon as possible.The radar sensor may only functionpartially (or not at all) if it is damagedor is not securely fastened in place.
• Accessories or other objects, such asextra headlights, must not be installedin front of the grille.
• Modification of the radar sensor couldmake its use illegal.
The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi- cles ahead is impeded:
• if the radar sensor is obstructed and can- not detect other vehicles, for example in heavy rain, or if snow or other objects areobscuring the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean.
•
if the speed of vehicles ahead is signifi- cantly different from your own speed.

• Distance Alert – introduction (p. 185)
Adaptive Cruise Control – limitations
The ACC cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions.
Situations where ACC may not function optimally
WARNING
• The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detecta vehicle later than expected or notdetect other vehicles at all.
• If ACC is not functioning properly,cruise control will also be disabled.

Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield 5
City Safety™ monitors traffic ahead of you using a laser sensor mounted in the uppersection of the windshield. If a collision isimminent, City Safety™ will automaticallyapply the brakes, which may feel like hardbraking. If the difference in speed between your vehi- cle and the vehicle ahead is more thanapproximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City Safety™alone cannot prevent a collision from takingplace. The driver must apply the brakes tohelp 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/hasbeen 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 thenrelease the brakes. The driver mustapply the brakes to keep the vehicle ata standstill.

City Safety – limitations
Limitations
WARNING
The laser sensor has certain limitations and its function may be reduced (or it maynot function at all) in conditions such asheavy rain or snowfall, or by dense fog orthick, blowing dust or snow. Condensa-tion, dirt, ice or snow on the windshieldmay also interfere with the sensor’s func-tion.
The sensor used by City Safety™ is designed to detect cars and other larger motor vehiclesahead of your vehicle in both daylight anddarkness. Objects such as warning flags hanging from long objects on the roof or accessories suchas auxiliary lights or protective arches on thefront of the vehicle that are higher than thehood may also impede the sensor’s function. Braking distance to the vehicle ahead increa- ses on slippery road surfaces, which mayreduce City Safety’s capacity to avoid a colli-sion. In situations like this, the stability sys-tem (see Stability system – introduction(p. 162)) will help provide the best possiblebraking capacity and stability. City Safety™ emits a laser beam and meas- ures the way in which the light is reflected.
