Recording data
Certain information about the vehicle's opera- tion and functionality, and any incidents, arerecorded in the car. Your vehicle contains a number of computers whose function is to continuously check andmonitor the vehicle's operation and function-ality. Some of the computers can recordinformation during normal driving if theydetect an error. In addition, information isrecorded in the event of a collision or inci-dent. Parts of the recorded information arerequired so that technicians can diagnoseand rectify faults in the vehicle during servic-ing and maintenance and so that Volvo canfulfil legal requirements and other regulations.In addition to this, the information is used forresearch purposes by Volvo in order to con-tinually develop quality and safety, as theinformation can contribute to a better under-standing of the factors that cause accidentsand injuries. The information includes detailsof the status and functionality of various sys-tems and modules in the vehicle with regardto engine, throttle, steering and brake sys-tems, amongst other things. This informationmay include details regarding the way thedriver drives the vehicle, such as vehiclespeed, brake and accelerator pedal use,steering wheel movement and whether or notthe driver and passengers have used theirseatbelts. For the reasons given this informa-tion may be stored in the vehicle's computers for a certain length of time, but also as aresult of a collision or incident. This informa-tion may be stored by Volvo as long as it canhelp to further develop and further enhancesafety and quality and as long as there arelegal requirements and other regulations thatVolvo needs to consider. Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri- bed information being disclosed to third par-ties without the vehicle owner's consent.However, due to national legislation and reg-ulations Volvo may be required to disclosesuch information to authorities such as policeauthorities, or others who may assert a legalright to have access to it. To be able to read and interpret the informa- tion recorded by the computers in the vehiclerequires special technical equipment thatVolvo, and workshops that have entered intoagreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvois responsible that the information, which istransferred to Volvo during servicing andmaintenance, is stored and handled in asecure manner and that the handling com-plies with applicable legal requirements. Forfurther information - contact a Volvo dealer.

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Interior Air Quality System) ensures that theincoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf-fic outside. The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-tored continuously and if there is an increasein the level of certain unhealthy gases such ascarbon monoxide then the air intake isclosed. Such a situation may arise in heavytraffic, queues and tunnels for example. The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by thecarbon filter.
InteriorThe interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea-sant and comfortable, even for people withcontact allergies and for asthma sufferers.Extreme attention has been given to choosingenvironmentally-compatible materials.
Volvo workshops and the environmentRegular maintenance creates the conditionsfor a long service life and low fuel consump-tion for your car. In this way you contribute toa cleaner environment. When Volvo's work-shops are entrusted with the service andmaintenance of your car it becomes part ofour system. Volvo makes clear demandsregarding the way in which our workshopsare designed in order to prevent spills anddischarges into the environment. Our work-shop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmentalcare.
Reducing environmental impactYou can easily help reduce environmentalimpact - here are a few tips: •
Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the engine when stationary for longerperiods. Pay attention to local regula-tions.
• Drive economically - think ahead.
• Perform service and maintenance inaccordance with the owner's manual'sinstructions - follow the intervals recom-mended in the Service and WarrantyBooklet.
• If the car is equipped with an engineblock heater*, use it before starting fromcold - it improves starting capacity andreduces wear in cold weather and theengine reaches normal operating tem-perature more quickly, which lowers con-sumption and reduces emissions.
• High speed increases consumption con-siderably due to increased wind resis-tance - a doubling of speed increaseswind resistance 4 times.
• Always dispose of environmentally hazar-dous waste, such as batteries and oils, inan environmentally safe manner. Consulta workshop in the event of uncertaintyabout how this type of waste should bediscarded - an authorised Volvo work-shop is recommended. Following this advice can save money, the planet's resources are saved, and the car'sdurability is extended. For more informationand further advice, see Eco guide (p. 63),Economical driving (p. 305) and Fuel con-sumption (p. 403).
RecyclingAs a part of Volvo's environmental work, it isimportant that the car is recycled in an envi-ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of thecar can be recycled. The last owner of the caris therefore requested to contact a dealer forreferral to a certified/approved recyclingfacility.

188* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Adaptive cruise control - ACC*
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead. The adaptive cruise control provides a more relaxing driving experience on long journeyson motorways and long straight main roads insmooth traffic flows. The driver sets the desired speed (p. 191) and time interval (p. 192) to the car in front.When the radar detector detects a slowervehicle in front of the car, the speed is auto-matically adapted to that. When the road isclear again the car returns to the selectedspeed. If the adaptive cruise control is switched off or set to standby mode (p. 193) and the carcomes too close to a vehicle in front, then thedriver is warned instead by the DistanceWarning (p. 202) function about the shortdistance.WARNING
The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and inter-vene when the adaptive cruise control isnot maintaining a suitable speed or suita-ble distance. The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. Read all the sections about the adaptive cruise control in the owner's manual inorder to learn about its limitations, ofwhich the driver should be aware before itis used. The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance andspeed, even when the adaptive cruise con-trol is being used.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of adaptive cruise control components must only be performed at aworkshop - an authorised Volvo workshopis recommended.
Automatic gearboxCars with automatic gearbox have enhanced functionality with the adaptive cruise control'sQueue Assist (p. 195).

Radar sensor
The function of the radar sensor is to detect cars or larger vehicles in the same direction,in the same lane. The radar sensor is used by the following functions: •Adaptive cruise control*
• Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Pedestrian Detection*
• Distance Warning*

• Distance Warning* (p. 202)
Radar sensor - limitations
A radar sensor (p. 197) has certain limitations, due to its limited field of vision for example. The capacity of the radar sensor to detect vehicles in front is reduced significantly:
• if the radar sensor becomes blocked and cannot detect other vehicles e.g. in heavyrain or slush, or if other objects have col-lected in front of the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean - see subheading "Maintenance" (p.217).
• if the speed of vehicles in front is signifi- cantly different from your own speed.
Field of visionThe radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations another vehicle is notdetected, or the detection is made later thanexpected.

City Safety™
City Safety™ is a function for helping the driver to avoid a collision when driving inqueues, amongst other things, when changesin the traffic ahead, combined with a lapse inattention, could lead to an incident. The City Safety™ function is active at speeds under 50 km/h and it helps the driver by auto-matically braking the car in the event of immi-nent risk of collision with vehicles in front,should the driver not react in time by brakingand/or steering away. City Safety™ is activated in situations where the driver should have started braking earlier,which is why it cannot help the driver in everysituation. City Safety™ is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessaryintervention. City Safety™ must not be used as an excuse for the driver to change his/her driving style. Ifthe driver solely relies on City Safety™ to dothe braking, there will be a collision sooner orlater. The driver or passengers normally only notice City Safety™ if a situation arises where thecar is extremely close to being in a collision. If the car is also equipped with Collision Warning with Auto Brake (p. 212)* these twosystems complement each other.IMPORTANT
Maintenance and replacement of City Safety™ components must only be per-formed by a workshop - an authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended.
WARNING
City Safety™ does not engage in all driv- ing situations or traffic, weather or roadconditions. City Safety™ does not react to vehicles driving in a different direction from the car,to small vehicles and motorcycles or tohumans and animals. City Safety™ can prevent collision at a speed difference of less than 15 km/h - ata higher speed difference, it is only possi-ble to reduce collision speed. In order toobtain full brake function, the driver mustdepress the brake pedal. Never wait for City Safety™ to engage. The driver always bears responsibility formaintaining the proper distance andspeed.

City Safety™ - laser sensor
The City Safety™ function includes a sensor which transmits laser light (see illustration (p.205) for sensor location). Contact a qualifiedworkshop in the event of a fault or if the lasersensor needs servicing - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended. It is absolutelyessential to follow the prescribed instructionswhen handling the laser sensor. The following two labels relate to the laser sensor:
The upper label in the figure describes the laser beam's classification:• Laser radiation - Do not look into the laser beam with optical instruments -Class 1M laser product.
The lower label in the figure describes the laser beam's physical data: •
IEC 60825-1:1993 + A2:2001. Complies with FDA (U.S. Food Administration)standards for laser product design withthe exception of deviations in accordancewith "Laser Notice No. 50" from26 July 2001.
Radiation data for the laser sensorThe following table specifies the laser sen- sor's physical data.
Maximum pulse energy2.64
µJ
Maximum average output45 mW
Pulse duration33 ns
Divergence (horizontal x verti- cal)28° × 12°
WARNING
If any of these instructions are not followed then there is a risk of eye injury!
• Never look into the laser sensor (which emits spreading invisible laser radia-tion) at a distance of 100 mm or closerwith magnifying optics such as a mag-nifying glass, microscope, lens or simi-lar optical instruments.
• Testing, repair, removal, adjustmentand/or replacement of the laser sen-sor's spare parts must only be carriedout by a qualified workshop - we rec-ommend an authorised Volvo work-shop.
• To avoid exposure to harmful radia-tion, do not carry out any readjust-ments or maintenance other thanthose specified here.
• The repairer must follow speciallydrawn up workshop information for thelaser sensor.
• Do not remove the laser sensor (thisincludes removing the lenses). Aremoved laser sensor does not fulfillaser class 3B as per standard IEC60825-1. Laser class 3B is not eye-safe and therefore entails a risk ofinjury.
• The laser sensor's connector must beunplugged before removal from thewindscreen.
