WARNING
The laser sensor has certain limitations and
its function may be reduced (or it may not
function at all) in conditions such as heavy
rain or snowfall, or by dense fog or thick,
blowing dust or snow. Condensation, dirt,
ice or snow on the windshield may also
interfere with the sensor’s function.
Objects such as warning flags hanging from
long objects on the roof or accessories such as
auxiliary lights or protective arches on the front
of the vehicle that are higher than the hood may
also impede the sensor’s function.
Braking distance to the vehicle ahead increa-
ses on slippery road surfaces, which may
reduce City Safety’s capacity to avoid a colli-
sion. In situations like this, the DSTC system
(see page 134) will help provide the best pos-
sible braking capacity and stability.
City Safety™ emits a laser beam and measures
the way in which the light is reflected. There-
fore, vehicles or objects with low-reflective sur-
faces may not be detected. Normally, the
license plate and taillight reflectors give the
rear section of a vehicle ahead sufficient reflec-
tive surfaces to be detected.
NOTE
•Keep the windshield in front of the laser
sensor free of ice, snow, dirt, etc. See
page 155.
•Snow or ice on the hood deeper than
2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sen-
sor. Keep the hood free of ice and snow.
•Do not mount or in any way attach any-
thing on the windshield that could
obstruct the laser sensor.
Troubleshooting
If 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 func-
tioning.
However, this message will not be displayed in
all situations in which the sensor is obstructed.
For this reason, the driver must ensure that the
area of the windshield in front of the sensor is
always kept clean.
The following table shows some of the situa-
tions that can cause the message to be dis-
played and suggested actions.
CauseAction
The area of the
windshield in front of
the sensor is dirty or
covered by ice or
snow.Clean the wind-
shield or remove the
ice/snow.
The laser sensor's
field of view is
obstructed.Remove the
obstruction.

CAUTION
If a crack, scratch or stone chip should
occur in the section of the windshield in
front the laser sensor, contact a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician to repair
or replace the windshield (see the illustra-
tion showing the location of the sensor on
page 155). Failing to do so may result in
reduced City Safety™ functionality.
To help prevent reduced functionality,
please also observe the following:
•Before the windshield is replaced, con-
tact a Volvo retailer to ensure that the
correct windshield is ordered and
installed. 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 Genuine
Volvo Replacement Windshields.
•When replacing windshield wipers, use
the same type or ones approved by
Volvo.
The laser sensor
The upper decal describes the laser beam's
classification and contains the following text:
Invisible Laser radiation – Do not view directly
with optical instruments (magnifiers) – Class
1M laser product.
The lower decal describes the laser beam's
physical data and contains the text:
IEC 60825-1:1993 + A2:2001. Complies with
FDA performance standards for laser products
except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice
No. 50, dated July 26th, 2001
The laser beam's physical data is listed in the
following table:
Maximum pulse energy2.64 μJ
Maximum average output45 mW
Pulse length33 ns
Divergence (horizontal × verti-
cal)28° × 12°
NOTE
The function of aftermarket laser detectors
may be affected by City Safety's laser sen-
sor.
WARNING
The laser sensor emits light when the igni-
tion 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 laser
instruments. Testing, repairing, remov-
ing, adjusting and/or replacing any
components in the laser sensor may
only be done by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
•Do not remove the laser sensor (includ-
ing removal of the lenses). A laser sen-
sor that has been removed belongs to
laser class 3B according to standard
IEC 60825-1. Devices in laser class 3B
present a risk of injury to the eyes.
•The laser sensor’s connector must be
disconnected before the sensor is
removed from the windshield.
•The laser sensor must be mounted in
place on the windshield before con-
necting the sensor’s connector.
•Do not view the laser sensor (which
emits spreading, invisible laser beams)
with optical instruments from a distance
of less than 4 inches (100 mm).
Symbols and messages in the display
When City Safety™ automatically applies the
brakes, one or more of the symbols in the main
instrument panel may illuminate and its asso-
ciated message will be displayed.
A text message can be erased by pressing
briefly on the OK button on the turn signal
lever.

the ignition switched off, which drains the
battery.
Before a long distance tripIt is always worthwhile to have your vehicle
checked by a trained and qualified Volvo serv-
ice technician before driving long distances.
Your retailer will also be able to supply you with
bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for
your use in the event that problems occur.
As a minimum, the following items should be
checked before any long trip:
•Check that engine runs smoothly and that
fuel consumption is normal.
•Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.
•Have the transmission oil level checked.
•Check condition of drive belts.
•Check state of the battery's charge.
•Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as
well), and replace those that are worn.
Check tire pressures.
•The brakes, front wheel alignment, and
steering gear should be checked by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian only.
•Check all lights, including high beams.
•Reflective warning triangles are legally
required in some states/provinces.
•Have a word with a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician if you intend to
drive in countries where it may be difficult
to obtain the correct fuel.
•Consider your destination. If you will be
driving through an area where snow or ice
are likely to occur, consider snow tires.
Cold weather precautionsIf you wish to check your vehicle before the
approach of cold weather, the following advice
is worth noting:
•Make sure that the engine coolant contains
50 percent antifreeze. Any other mixture
will reduce freeze protection. This gives
protection against freezing down to
–31 °F (–35 °C). The use of "recycled" anti-
freeze is not approved by Volvo. Different
types of antifreeze must not be mixed.
•Volvo recommends using only genuine
Volvo antifreeze in your vehicle's radiator.
•Try to keep the fuel tank well filled – this
helps prevent the formation of condensa-
tion in the tank. In addition, in extremely
cold weather conditions it is worthwhile to
add fuel line de-icer before refueling.
•The viscosity of the engine oil is important.
Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improves
cold-weather starting as well as decreas-
ing fuel consumption while the engine is
warming up. 0W-30 oil is recommended fordriving in areas with sustained low temper-
atures.
•The load placed on the battery is greater
during the winter since the windshield wip-
ers, lighting, etc., are used more often.
Moreover, the capacity of the battery
decreases as the temperature drops. In
very cold weather, a poorly charged bat-
tery can freeze and be damaged. It is there-
fore advisable to check the state of charge
more frequently and spray an anti-rust oil
on the battery posts.
•Volvo recommends the use of snow tires
on all four wheels for winter driving, see
page 304.
•To prevent the washer fluid reservoir from
freezing, add washer solvents containing
antifreeze. This is important since dirt is
often splashed on the windshield during
winter driving, requiring the frequent use of
the washers and wipers. Volvo Washer
Solvent should be diluted as follows: Down
to 14 °F (–10 °C): 1 part washer solvent and
4 parts water Down to 5 °F (–15 °C): 1 part
washer solvent and 3 parts water Down to
0 °F (–18 °C): 1 part washer solvent and
2 parts water Down to –18 °F (–28 °C):
1 part washer solvent and 1 part water.
•Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
•Avoid using de-icing sprays as they can
cause damage to the locks.
