IntelliSafe-driver support
IntelliSafe is the Volvo Cars concept concerning car safety. It comprises a number of systemsthat contribute to making a car journey safe, tothe prevention of injuries and to the protection ofpassengers from other road users.
SupportThere are systems incorporated in IntelliSafe that help the driver to drive the car in a safe manner.The driver support functions incorporated in thecar include e.g. the adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control) * that ensures that a
constant distance is held between the car and the vehicle in front. Pilot Assist * helps the driver to keep the car
between the lane's edge markings, combined with maintaining a preset time interval to thevehicle ahead. Park Assist Pilot * helps the driver park the car by
sensing the area around it. Other examples of systems that help the driver are the Active main beam, Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) * and Blind Spot Information (BLIS) * sys-
tems.
PreventionAn example of a function that helps to prevent accidents is City Safety. The function warns thedriver of risks of collision with another vehicle,pedestrians, cyclists or larger animals. If the driver does not react to the warning and the risk of col-lision is imminent then City Safety can automati-cally brake the car. Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)
* is another example of a
function that helps to prevent accidents by warn- ing the driver and giving corrective steering inter-ventions if the car is about to cross a lane sideline. Also available is the run-off mitigation function (Run off mitigation), whose purpose is to reducethe risk of the car unintentionally leaving theroad, and it actively steers the car back onto theroad.
ProtectionTo protect the driver and passengers, the car isequipped with seatbelt tensioners which can ten-sion the seatbelts in critical situations and in col-lisions. It also has airbags and inflatable curtains,as well as Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)which protects against whiplash injuries. A Pedestrian Protection System (PPS) is also available for mitigating a pedestrian's impact withthe car in the event of a frontal collision.

Red Key - Restricted remote control key*
A Red Key enables the car owner to set limits for certain car properties. The restrictions areintended to promote safe driving of the car, e.g.when it is loaned out.
For a Red Key, it is possible to define the car's maximum speed, set speed reminders and deter-mine the loudspeaker system's maximum volume.In addition, some of the car's driver support sys-tems will always be active. Other functions of thekey are the same as those of a normal remotecontrol key. One or more Red Keys can be ordered from a Volvo dealer. A total of eleven keys with restric-tions can be programmed and used for a single car - at least one must be a normal remote con-trol key. The settings for Red Key are made by the user of the normal remote control key from the centre display's top view; go to:

–Activate the direction indicator. Use the left direction indicator in a car with the steering wheel on the left, or the rightdirection indicator in a car with the steeringwheel on the right.
> Overtaking assistance is started.
LimitationsWhen using Overtaking Assistance the driver should be prepared for sudden changes in condi-tions. In some conditions Overtaking Assistancecan cause unwanted acceleration. Some situations should be avoided for this rea- son. Examples of such situations are:
• the car is approaching an exit road in orderto turn off in the same direction that is nor-mally used for overtaking
• the vehicle in front slows before your car hasentered the overtaking lane
• traffic in the overtaking lane is slowing
• a car designed for right-hand traffic is beingdriven in a country with left-hand traffic (orvice versa).
Situations of this kind can be avoided by tempo-rarily setting ACC or Pilot Assist in standby mode.

Change of target and automatic braking with the Adaptive CruiseControl
In combination with automatic gearbox, the adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control- ACC ) has functionality for change of targetand braking at certain speeds.
Change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front.
When the adaptive cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h
(20 mph) and the target is changed from a mov- ing vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the adaptivecruise control will brake for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When the adaptive cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds in excess of
approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationaryvehicle, the adaptive cruise control will ignorethe stationary vehicle and instead select thestored speed.
• The driver must then intervene him/ herself and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change of target
The adaptive cruise control is disengaged and set in standby mode: • when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and the adaptive cruise control is uncertainwhether the target object is a stationary vehi-cle or some other object, such as a speedbump.
• when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph)and the vehicle ahead turns off so the adap-tive cruise control no longer has a vehicle tofollow.
Automatic brakingFor shorter stops in connection with inching inslow traffic or at traffic lights driving is automati-cally resumed if the stops do not exceed about3 seconds - if it takes longer before the car in

Pilot Assist *
Pilot Assist helps the driver to drive the car between the lane's side markings using steeringassistance as well as to maintain an even speed,combined with a preselected time interval to thevehicle ahead.
The Pilot Assist function gives more comfortable driving and a more relaxed driving experienceduring, for example, long journeys on motorwaysin even traffic flows.
The camera and radar unit measures the distance to the vehicle ahead and detects side markings 9
.
Camera and radar unit
Distance readers
Readers, side markings The driver selects the desired speed and a time interval to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist scansthe distance to the vehicle ahead and the lane'sside markings on the road surface using thecamera and radar unit. The preset time interval ismaintained with automatic speed adjustmentwhilst the steering assistance helps to positionthe car in the lane. Pilot Assist steering assistance takes into account the speed of the preceding car and thelane markings. The driver can at any time ignorethe Pilot Assist steering recommendation andsteer in another direction, e.g. to change lane oravoid an obstruction on the road. If Pilot Assist cannot interpret the lane unambig- uously, e.g. if the camera and radar unit does notsee the lane's side markings, Pilot Assist tempo-rarily deactivates steering assistance, butresumes it if the lane can be interpreted again -although the speed and distance control func-tions remain active.
NOTE
Pilot Assist steering assistance is deactivated and is resumed without prior warning.
The current status of steering assistance is indicated by thecolour of the steering wheel'ssymbol: • GREEN steering wheel indi- cates active steering assis-
tance • GREY steering wheel (as in illustration) indi- cates deactivated steering assistance.

WARNING
Pilot Assist is an aid which cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. The driver must always be observant with regard to the prevailing traffic conditions andintervene if Pilot Assist does not provide suit-able steering assistance or maintain a suita-ble speed or suitable time interval. Read all the sections about this function in the owner's manual in order to learn about itslimitations, of which the driver should beaware before the function is used. Pilot Assist must only be used if there are clear lane lines painted on the road surfaceon each side of the lane. All other useinvolves increased risk of contact with sur-rounding obstacles that are not detected bythe function. The driver always bears responsibility for how the car is controlled as well as for maintainingthe correct distance and speed, even whenPilot Assist is being used.
Pilot Assist regulates the speed with acceleration and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit alow sound when they are being used to adjustthe speed. Pilot Assist attempts to regulate the speed smoothly. In situations that demand sudden brak-ing the driver must brake himself/herself. Thisapplies in case of large speed differences or ifthe vehicle in front brakes suddenly. Due to the limitations of the camera and radar unit, brakingmay come unexpectedly or not at all. Pilot Assist aims to follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval set by the driver.If the radar unit cannot see any vehicle in frontthen the car will instead maintain the speed setand stored by the driver. This also takes place ifthe speed of the vehicle ahead increases andexceeds the stored speed. The following applies for cars with automatic gearbox:
• Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle atspeeds from 0 km/h up to 200 km/h(125 mph).
• Pilot Assist can give steering assistance fromalmost stationary up to 140 km/h (87 mph).
The following applies for cars with manual gear-box: • Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h (20 mph) up to200 km/h (125 mph).
• Pilot Assist can give steering assistance from30 km/h (20 mph) up to 140 km/h(87 mph).
WARNING
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance sys- tem. The driver must intervene if the systemdoes not detect a vehicle in front. Pilot Assist does not brake for people, ani- mals, objects, small vehicles (e.g. cycles andmotorcycles), low trailers as well as oncoming,slow or stationary vehicles. Do not use Pilot Assist, for example, in city traffic, at junctions, on slippery surfaces, witha lot of water or slush on the road, in heavyrain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads,on slip roads, or with a trailer connected tothe car.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of Pilot Assist components must only be performed at a workshop - an author-ised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Deactivating/activating the Pilot Assist*
Pilot Assist can be temporarily deactivated so that it is set in the standby mode and can bereactivated later.
Deactivating and setting Pilot Assist in
standby mode
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
To temporarily switch off Pilot Assist and set it in standby mode:
–Press the steering wheel button (2).
> Pilot Assist is set in standby mode - the symbol (8) in the driver display changes colour from WHITE to GREY and thestored speed in the centre of the speed-ometer changes from BEIGE to GREY.
...or...
–Press ◀ (3).
> Pilot Assist is switched off and changes to the adaptive cruise control in active mode.
In standby mode, the driver is no longer given anydriver steering recommendations and must con-trol both speed and distance him/herself. When Pilot Assist is in standby mode and the car drives too close to a vehicle ahead, the driver iswarned about the short distance by the DistanceWarning function instead (see reference to theheading "Distance Warning" at the end of thissection).
Standby mode on driver intervention
Pilot Assist is temporarily deactivated and set in standby mode if:
• the foot brake is used
• the gear selector is moved to
N position.
• the direction indicators are used for longerthan 1 minute .
• the driver maintains a speed higher than thestored speed for longer than 1 minute.
• the clutch pedal is depressed forapprox. 1 minute - applies to cars with man-ual gearbox.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affectthe setting - the car returns to the last storedspeed when the accelerator pedal is released. When the direction indicators are used, PilotAssist steering assistance is temporarily disen-gaged. When this is no longer the case, steeringassistance is automatically reactivated if thelane's side markings can still be detected.
