CAUTION
•Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield. The windshield should bethoroughly wet when the wipers are inoperation.
• Avoid using the washers if the fluid reser-voir is frozen or empty to help avoid dam-age to the pump.
When the washing system is used, the length of time that the windshield washers operatedepends on the ambient temperature. In coldweather, the amount of washer fluid used willalso be increased automatically to help improvecleaning.
Heated washer nozzles
*The washer nozzles are heated automatically incold weather to help prevent the washer fluidfrom freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing *High-pressure headlight washing consumes alarge quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid, theheadlights are washed once for every five timesthe windshield is washed.
Reduced washingWhen approx. 1 US quart (1 liter) of washer fluidremains in the reservoir, the headlights will nolonger be washed to conserve fluid. A text message and the
symbol will be dis-
played in the instrument panel to remind the driver to fill the washer fluid reservoir.

Detecting obstructions with City Safety
City Safety can detect vehicles, cyclists, large animals and pedestrians.
VehiclesCity Safety detects most types of vehicles that are either stationary, moving in the same direc-tion as your vehicle or those described in the arti-cle "City Safety in crossing traffic." In order for City Safety to detect a vehicle in darkness, its headlights and taillights must be onand clearly visible.
Cyclists
Optimal example of what the system considers to be a cyclist: clear body/bike contours
To help function optimally, City Safety's function for cyclist detection needs clear informationabout the bike itself and the rider's head, arms, shoulders, legs, the upper and lower parts of thebody and a cyclist's normal pattern of movement.
• If major parts of the cyclist's body are notvisible to the camera, the system cannotdetect the cyclist.
• The cyclist must be an adult riding a bikeintended for an adult.
WARNING
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary driving aid and cannot detect all cyclists in allsituations, such as:
• a partially obscured cyclist.
• a cyclist whose clothing prevents a clear view of the person's body contours.
• a cyclist transporting a large object.
The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.

Pedestrians
Optimal example of what the system considers to be a pedestrian: clear body contours
To help function optimally, City Safety's function for pedestrian detection needs clear informationabout the person's head, arms, shoulders, legs,the upper and lower parts of the body and a per-son's normal pattern of movement. In order to detect a pedestrian, there must be a contrast to the background. If there is little con-trast, the person may be detected late or not atall, which may result in a late or no reaction fromthe system.• If major parts of the pedestrian's body arenot visible to the camera, he/she may not bedetected.
• In order to detect a pedestrian, the systemmust have a full view of the person's entire body and the person must be at least 32 in.(80 cm) tall.
• City Safety can also help detect pedestriansin dark conditions if they are in the path ofthe vehicle's headlights.
WARNING
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It cannot detect pedestrians:
• who are partially obscured, wearing cloth- ing that prevents a clear view of the per-son's body contours or who are not atleast 32 in. (80 cm) tall.
• who have limited contrast to their immedi-ate background. A warning or brakingmay be delayed or not come at all.
• carrying a large object.
The driver is always responsible for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner.
Large animals
Examples of what City Safety considers to be large ani- mals: stationary or moving slowly with clear body con-tours
To function optimally, the system feature for detecting large animals (moose, horses, etc.)must receive as clear information about bodycontours as possible. This entails being able todetect the animal straight from the side andassumes that the animal has a normal pattern ofmovement. If parts of the animal's body are hidden from the camera, the system cannot detect this animal. City Safety can also help detect large animals in dark conditions if they are in the path of the vehi-cle's headlights.

WARNING
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It cannot detect large animals in all situations such as:• large animals that are partially obscured
• large animals straight from the front or rear
• large animals that are running or movingquickly
• large animals that have limited contrast totheir immediate background. A warning orbraking may be delayed or not come atall.
• smaller animals such as dogs or cats
The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.

City Safety in crossing traffic
City Safety can help the driver when turning in the path of an oncoming vehicle in an intersec-tion.
Turning at an intersection
1. The area in which City Safety can detect an oncoming vehicle
In order for City Safety to detect an approaching vehicle in situations where there is a risk of a col-lision, that vehicle must be within City Safety'srange (the red area in the illustration). The following criteria must also be met:
• your vehicle's speed must be at least 3 mph (4 km/h)
• the approaching vehicle's headlights must beon
• your vehicle must be making a left turn
WARNING
•City Safety is a supplementary driving aid and does not function in all driving situa-tions or in all traffic, weather or road con-ditions.
• Warnings and braking for an approachingvehicle will usually come at a very latestage.
• The driver is responsible for maintaining asafe distance and speed. Never wait for awarning or for City Safety to take action.
Limitations in crossing trafficIn certain situations, it may be very difficult forCity Safety to help the driver avoid a collision withan approaching vehicle in crossing traffic, forexample:
• on slippery roads when Electronic StabilityControl is active
• if the approaching vehicle is detected at alate stage
• If the approaching vehicle is partiallyobscured by another vehicle
• if the approaching vehicle moves erratically(e.g., sudden lane changes at a late stage)

Camera and radar sensor's field of vision
The camera and radar sensor have limited fields of vision. In some situations they may detect avehicle, large animal, pedestrian or cyclist laterthan expected or not detect them at all. Other vehicles that are dirty may be detected later than others and in dark conditions, motorcy-cles may be detected late or not at all. If a text message is displayed in the instrument panel indicates that the camera or radar sensorare blocked, it may be difficult for City Safety todetect a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist and thesystem's functionality may be reduced.
WARNING
Text messages may not be displayed in all sit- uations in which the camera and/or radarsensor are blocked. It is therefore essential tokeep the windshield in front the camera/radarsensor clean and free from snow, ice, etc. Camera and radar sensor components should only be serviced or replaced by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
Action by the driver
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated while the vehicle is backing up.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds (under approx. 3 mph (4 km/h). This means thatthe system will not be triggered if your vehicleapproaches a vehicle ahead at very low speed,such as when parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. For this reason, City Safety may not react or react laterthan expected in situations in which the driver isactively operating the vehicle, even if a collision isimminent. This is also done to help eliminateexcessive warnings.
Other limitations
City Safety uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which have certain general limitations.See the articles "Camera limitations" and "Radarsensor limitations" for additional information.
WARNING
•
Warnings and braking may be delayed or not occur at all if traffic, weather or otherconditions prevent the camera and/orradar sensor from detecting pedestrians,cyclists, large animals or other vehiclescorrectly.
• Other vehicles can only be detected indarkness if their headlights and taillightsare clearly visible.
• The sensors have a limited range forpedestrians and cyclists. The systemfunctions best at relative speeds up to30 mph (50 km/h). For stationary orslow-moving vehicles, the system func-tions best at speeds up to approx.43 mph (70 km/h).
• If there is a risk of colliding with a largeanimal, City Safety can reduce the vehi-cle's speed by up to 9 mph (15 km/h).Warnings and braking are most effectiveat speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h) andless effective at lower speeds.
