WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup- port, but it cannot detect all large animalsin all situations and, for example, cannotsee: partially obscured larger animals.
larger animals seen from the front or from behind.
running or fast moving larger animals.
larger animals if the contrast to the ani-mal's background is poor.
smaller animals such as cats and dogs.
Warnings and brake interventions may occur late or not at all. The driver is alwaysresponsible for ensuring that the vehicle isdriven correctly and with a safety distancesuitable for the speed.

Limitations of City Safety in crossing traffic
In certain situations, it may be difficult for
City Safety to help the driver avoid a collisionwith crossing traffic.
For example:
On slippery roads when Electronic Stabil- ity Control (ESC) is actively operating.
If an approaching vehicle is detected at alate stage.
If the oncoming vehicle is partiallyobstructed by another vehicle or object.
If the oncoming vehicle's headlights areoff.
If the oncoming vehicle is moving errati-cally and e.g. suddenly changes lanes at alate stage.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

City Safety steering assistance for evasive maneuver City Safety steering assistance can help the driver steer away from a vehicle/obstaclewhen it is not possible to avoid a collision bybraking alone. City Safety steering assistanceis always activated and cannot be switchedoff.
Your vehicle swerves away
Slow-moving/stationary vehicle or obsta- cle.
City Safety helps provide assistance bystrengthening the driver's steering move-ments, but only if the driver has begun evasiveaction and the system detects that the driver'ssteering movements are not sufficient to avoida collision. The brake system is used simultaneously to further strengthen steering movements. The

City Safety steering assistance may have lim- ited functionality in certain situations and notintervene, e.g.:
at speeds outside the range of 50-100 km/h (30-62 mph)
if the driver does not take evasive action
if speed-dependent power steering wheelresistance is working at reduced power –e.g. during cooling due to overheating.

City Safety assists the driver by periodically attempting to predict possible "escaperoutes" to the sides of the vehicle in the eventa slow-moving or stationary vehicle were to bedetected at a late stage.
Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape routes for veering away from the vehicle ahead (2)and may therefore apply the brakes at an earlierstage.

DRIVER SUPPORT
332City Safety will not intervene to automatically apply the brakes if it is possible for the driverto avoid a collision by steering the vehicle. However, if City Safety determines that an evasive maneuver would not be possible dueto traffic in the adjacent lane(s), the functioncan assist the driver by automatically startingto apply the brakes at an earlier stage.

Oncoming vehicles
The following criteria must be met for the function to work:
your vehicle's speed must be above4 km/h (3 mph)
the road must be straight
your lane must have clear side lane mark-ings
your vehicle must be positioned straight inyour lane
the oncoming vehicle must be positionedwithin your vehicle's lane markings
the oncoming vehicle's headlights mustbe on
the function can only handle “front-to-front” collisions
the function can only detect vehicles withfour wheels.
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions due to an imminent collision with an oncomingvehicle always come very late.

City Safety limitationsCity Safety 81
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 82
) 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 or radar sen-sor is obstructed, it may be difficult for CitySafety to detect pedestrians, large animals,cyclists, vehicles or lane markings in front ofthe vehicle. City Safety functionality maytherefore be reduced. 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.
Driver intervention
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated when the vehicle is backing up.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds under 4 km/h (3 mph). The system will there-fore not intervene in situations in which yourvehicle is approaching another vehicle veryslowly, such as when parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. City Safety will therefore not react or will react at alater stage with a warning or intervention insituations in which the driver is clearly steeringand operating the accelerator pedal, even if acollision is unavoidable. An active and aware driving style may there- fore delay collision warnings and interventionin order to minimize unnecessary warnings.

Important warnings
WARNING
The driver support system only issues a warning for obstacles detected by its radarsensor – thus, a warning may come after adelay or not at all. Never wait for a warning or assistance. Apply the brakes when necessary.
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions can be triggered late or not at all if the traf-fic situation or external influences pre-vent the camera and radar unit fromproperly detecting pedestrians,cyclists, large animals or vehiclesahead of the vehicle.
To be able to detect vehicles at night,its front and rear lights must work andilluminate clearly.
The camera and radar unit have a lim-ited range for pedestrians and cyclists– the system can provide effectivewarnings and brake interventions if therelative speed is lower than 50 km/h(30 mph). For stationary or slow-mov-ing vehicles, warnings and brake inter-ventions are effective at vehicle speedsof up to 70 km/h (43 mph). Speedreduction for large animals is less than15 km/h (9 mph) and can be achievedat vehicle speeds over 70 km/h(43 mph). At lower speeds, the warn-ing and brake intervention for large ani-mals is less effective.
Warnings for stationary or slow-mov-ing vehicles and large animals can bedisengaged due to darkness or poorvisibility.
Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists are disen-gaged at vehicle speeds over 80 km/h(50 mph).
Do not place, affix or mount anythingon the inside or outside of the wind-shield, or in front of or around the cam-era and radar unit – this could disruptcamera-based functions.
Objects, snow, ice or dirt in the area ofthe camera sensor can reduce thefunction, disengage it completely orgive an improper function response.

WARNING
The City Safety auto-brake function can prevent a collision or reduce colli-sion speed, but to ensure full brakeperformance the driver should alwaysdepress the brake pedal – even whenthe car auto-brakes.
The warning and steering assistanceare only activated if there is a high riskof collision – you must therefore neverwait for the collision warning or CitySafety to intervene.
Warnings and brake interventions forpedestrians and cyclists are disen-gaged at vehicle speeds over 80 km/h(50 mph).
City Safety does not activate auto-braking intervention during heavyacceleration.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.
