functionality may be reduced in
certain situations.
Surroundings
Low objects
Hanging objects, such as flags for overhang- ing loads or accessories such as auxiliarylights or front protective grids that extendbeyond the height of the hood, may limit City Safety functionality.
Slippery road conditions
The extended braking distance on slippery roads may reduce City Safety's capacity tohelp avoid a collision. In these types of situa-tions, the Anti-lock Braking System and Elec- tronic Stability Control (ESC 58
) are designed
for optimal braking power with maintained stability.
Backlighting
The visual warning signal in the windshield may be difficult to detect in bright sunlight, ifthere are reflections, or if the driver is wearingsunglasses or not looking straight ahead.
Heat
If the temperature in the passenger compart- ment is high due to e.g. bright sunlight, thevisual warning signal in the windshield may betemporarily disabled.
Camera and radar sensor's field of vision
The camera's field of vision is limited and in certain situations, it may be unable to detectpedestrians, large animals, cyclists or vehicles,or it may detect them later than expected. Vehicles that are dirty may be detected later than clean vehicles, and in dark conditions,motorcycles may be detected late or not at all. If a text message displayed in the instrument panel indicates that the camera/radar sensoris obstructed, it may be difficult for City Safetyto detect pedestrians, large animals, cyclists,vehicles or lane markings in front of the vehi-cle. City Safety functionality may therefore bereduced. Text messages may not be displayed for all sit- uations in which the windshield sensors areblocked. The driver must therefore alwayskeep the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor clean.
CAUTION
Only a workshop may perform mainte- nance on driver support components – anauthorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended.

Cross Traffic Alert *67
Cross Traffic Alert(CTA) is a supplementary driver support system to BLIS 68
that is
intended to help the driver detect vehicles crossing behind the vehicle while backing up. The auto-brake subfunction can help the
driver stop the car if there is a risk of collision with an unobserved vehicle.
Examples of areas in which CTA can help the driver detect obstacles while backing up.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic crossing from the side, e.g. when backing outof a parking space. CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles, but in certain cases can also detect pedes-trians or smaller objects such as bicycles. CTA is only active when the vehicle is movingbackward or if reverse gear is engaged. If CTA detects that something is approaching your vehicle from the side:
an audible signal will sound from eitherthe left or right speaker, depending onwhich side of your vehicle the object isapproaching from.
an icon will illuminate in the
Park Assist
System graphic on the screen.
an icon will appear in the Park Assist Cam- era's Top view.
Illuminated CTA icon in the
Park Assist System
graphic on the screen.
If the driver does not pay attention to the warning from CTA and a collision is unavoida- ble, the
auto brake function will intervene to
stop the vehicle and a text will be shown onthe instrument panel to explain why the vehi-cle was braked.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.

When the function has registered a speed limit sign, the sign will be displayed as a sym-bol in the instrument panel and a coloredmarking will be shown in the speedometer'sspeed scale. If the vehicle is equipped with Sensus Navigation *, speed-related information will
also be retrieved from map data, which means that the instrument panel can display orchange information about speed limits even if the vehicle has not passed a speed-relatedsign.

Speed limit and speed camera warnings from Road Sign Information *
There are sub-functions for Road Sign Infor- mation (RSI 78
) that can alert the driver if the
speed limit has been exceeded or if there are speed cameras nearby.
Example of speed camera and speed limit informa- tion in the instrument panel.
Speed Limit WarningWhen Speed Warning is acti- vated, the symbol for the cur-rent speed limit in the instru- ment panel 79
will flash tem-
porarily if that speed is excee- ded.
The driver can be alerted if the vehicle is exceeding a detected speed limit and isapproaching a speed camera.
Speed Limit Warning warns the driver if the
vehicle's speed has exceeded the applicable speed limit or the preset Speed Limiter speed.The warning will be repeated once afterabout 1 minute in that speed limit area if thedriver does not slow down. A new warning and message indicating that the speed limit has been exceeded will be pro-vided only when the vehicle has entered anew/different speed limit area.
NOTE
For an audible alert to be provided if the speed is exceeded, the Speed Limit
Warning function must be activated and
the Road Sign Audio Warning sub-func-
tion must be On. Audible alerts are provi-
ded if the vehicle's speed exceeds the speed displayed by Road Sign Informationin the instrument panel.

Driver Alert Control
The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function is designed to help alert the driver to erraticbehavior, e.g. if the driver is distracted orshowing signs of fatigue.
The objective of DAC is to detect slowly dete- riorating driving behavior and is primarilyintended to be used on major roads. The func-tion is not intended for use in city traffic. DAC is activated when the vehicle's speed exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph) and remainsactive as long as speeds are above 60 km/h(37 mph).
DAC detects the vehicle's position in the traffic lane.
A camera monitors the traffic lane's marker lines and compares the direction of the roadwith the driver's movements of the steeringwheel.
The vehicle is moving erratically in the lane.
If driving behavior becomes considerably erratic, thedriver will be alerted by thissymbol in the instrumentpanel, an audible signal and the message
Time for a
break.
If the vehicle is equipped with Sensus Navigation * and the Rest Stop Guidancefunction is activated, suggestions will also be provided for suitable places to take a break. The warning will be repeated after a short time if driving behavior does not improve.
WARNING
Driver Alert Control must not be used to extend a period of driving. The drivershould plan in breaks at regular intervalsand make sure they are well rested.
WARNING
An alarm from Driver Alert Control should be taken very seriously since a sleepy driveris often not aware of their own condition. If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as pos- sible and rest.
Studies have shown that it is just as dan- gerous to drive while tired as it is to driveunder the influence of alcohol or otherstimulants.
