City Safety – function
Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield 5
City Safety
™ monitors traffic ahead of you using
a laser sensor mounted in the upper section of the windshield. If a collision is imminent, City Safety ™ will automatically apply the brakes,
which may feel like hard braking. If the difference in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is more than approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City Safety ™ alone cannot
prevent a collision from taking place. The driver must apply the brakes to help avoid a collision orreduce its effect. When the function activates and applies the brakes, a message will appear in the information display to indicate that the system is/has beenactive.
NOTE
•
When City Safety
™ applies the brakes,
the brake lights will illuminate.
• In cases where City Safety
™ has stopped
the vehicle, the system will then release the brakes. The driver must apply thebrakes to keep the vehicle at a standstill.

City Safety – operation
Using City Safety™
NOTE
The City Safety™ function is activated auto-
matically each time the engine has been switched off and restarted.

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
SettingsCar settingsDriver
support systems
City Safety. Select Off.
If the engine is switched off, City Safety ™ will
reactivate when the engine is restarted.
WARNING

has been switched off.
To switch City Safety ™ on again: •
Follow the same procedure as for switching City Safety
™ off but select
On.

Limitations
WARNING
The laser sensor has certain limitations and its function may be reduced (or it may notfunction at all) in conditions such as heavyrain or snowfall, or by dense fog or thick,blowing dust or snow. Condensation, dirt, iceor snow on the windshield may also interferewith the sensor

DRIVER SUPPORT
204may not be detected. Normally, the license plate and taillight reflectors give the rear section of avehicle ahead sufficient reflective surfaces to bedetected.
NOTE
•
Keep the windshield in front of the laser sensor free of ice, snow, dirt, etc., see CitySafety – function (p. 202).
• Snow or ice on the hood deeper than2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sensor.Keep the hood free of ice and snow.
• Do not mount or in any way attach any-thing on the windshield that couldobstruct the laser sensor.

City Safety – troubleshooting
TroubleshootingIf Windscreen Sensors blocked appears in the
information display, this indicates that the City Safety ™ laser sensor is obstructed in some way
and cannot detect vehicles ahead of you, which means that the system is not functioning. However, this message will not be displayed in all situations in which the sensor is obstructed. Forthis reason, the driver must ensure that the areaof the windshield in front of the sensor is alwayskept clean. The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed andsuggested actions.
CauseAction
The area of the windshield in front of the sensor isdirty or covered by ice orsnow.Clean the wind- shield or removethe ice/snow.
The laser sensor's field of view is obstructed.Remove the obstruction.
NOTE
If a crack, scratch or stone chip should occur in the section of the windshield in front thelaser sensor, contact a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician to repair or replacethe windshield (see the illustration showingthe location of the sensor in City Safety –function (p. 202)). Failing to do so may result in reduced City Safety ™ functionality.
To help prevent limited or reduced functional- ity, please also observe the following:
• Volvo recommends that cracks, scratchesor stone chips on the windshield in front of the laser sensor
should not be
repaired; in such cases, the entire wind- shield should be replaced.
• Before the windshield is replaced, con-tact a Volvo retailer to ensure that thecorrect windshield is ordered and instal-led. If the wrong type of windshield is used, this may cause City Safety
™ to
function improperly or not at all. Volvo recommends the use of only GenuineVolvo Replacement Windshields.
• When replacing windshield wipers, usethe same type or ones approved by Volvo.

City Safety – Laser sensor
The laser sensor
The upper decal describes the laser beam's clas- sification and contains the following text: Invisible Laser radiation – Do not view directly with optical instruments (magnifiers) – Class 1Mlaser product. The lower decal describes the laser beam's phys- ical data and contains the text: IEC 60825-1:1993 + A2:2001. Complies with FDA performance standards for laser productsexcept for deviations pursuant to Laser NoticeNo. 50, dated July 26th, 2001 The laser beam's physical data is listed in the fol- lowing table:
Maximum pulse energy2.64 μJ
Maximum average output45 mW
Pulse length33 ns
Divergence (horizontal × vertical)28° × 12°
NOTE
The function of aftermarket laser detectors may be affected by City Safety's laser sensor.
WARNING
The laser sensor emits light when the ignition is in mode II or higher, even if City Safety ™
has been switched off.
WARNING
Eye injury may occur if any of the following points are not followed:
• It is essential that all pertinent instruc-tions be followed when handling laserinstruments. Testing, repairing, removing,adjusting and/or replacing any compo-nents in the laser sensor may only bedone by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician.
• Do not remove the laser sensor (includingremoval of the lenses). A laser sensorthat has been removed belongs to laserclass 3B according to standard IEC60825-1. Devices in laser class 3B pres-ent a risk of injury to the eyes.

Collision warning – introduction Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is designed to assist the driver if there is arisk of a collision with a pedestrian, a cyclist, avehicle ahead that is at a standstill or one that ismoving in the same direction as your vehicle.
This system consists of the following three func- tions:
• 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 automatically
if a collision with a pedestrian, a cyclist oranother vehicle cannot be avoided and thedriver does not apply the brakes in time orsteer around the person/vehicle. Auto-brakecan help prevent a collision or reduce thespeed at which a collision occurs.
Since Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with FullAuto Brake is activated in circumstances wherethe driver should have begun braking muchsooner, the system will not be able to assist thedriver in all situations. This system is designed to activate as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary intervention. The system should not be used in such a way that the driver changes his/her way of operatingthe vehicle. If the driver relies entirely on the sys- tem, the chances of an accident eventually occur-ring increase considerably. The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake and City Safety
™ systems supple-
ment each other. See City Safety – introduction (p. 201) for detailed information about City Safety ™.
WARNING
No automatic system can be guaranteed to function 100% correctly in all situations. Forthat reason, never test the Auto-brake systemby driving toward a person or object. Thiscould result in serious injury or death.
