-Cruise control Cancel- ledACC has been automatically switched off. The driver has to regulate the vehicle’s speed/distance to the vehicle ahead.
-Cruise control Unavail- ableACC cannot be put in active mode. This may be due to: • high brake temperature
• the radar sensor is obstructed (by heavy rain, snow, etc.)
Radar blocked See manualACC has been temporarily disconnected because the radar is obstructed in some way and cannot detect other vehicles. In this situation, the driver can switch to standard cruise control, see page 153See page 155 for information on the radar sensor’s limitations.

City Safety™
04
162
Introduction
City Safety™1
is a support system designed
to help the driver avoid low speed collisions when driving in slow-moving, stop-and-gotraffic. City Safety™ is not active if your vehicle’s speed is below approximately 2 mph(4 km/h). This means that City Safety™ willnot react if your vehicle approaches anothervehicle at very low speed, for example, whenparking. The function is active at speeds up to approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) and assiststhe driver by applying the brakes automati-cally, thereby avoiding or helping to reducethe effects of a collision. City Safety™ is designed to intervene as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary activa-tion. City Safety™ triggers brief, forceful braking if a low-speed collision is imminent. However,the system will not intervene in situationswhere the driver actively steers the vehicle orapplies the brakes, even if a collision cannotbe avoided. This is done in order to alwaysgive the driver’s actions highest priority. City Safety™ activates in situations where thedriver has not applied the brakes in time,which means that the system cannot help thedriver in all situations. City Safety™ should not be used to alter the way in which the driver operates the vehicle.The driver should never rely solely on thissystem to safely stop the vehicle. Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safety™ except whenthe system intervenes when a low-speed col-lision is imminent. If the vehicle is also equipped with the optional Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection system, thetwo systems interact. For more informationabout the Collision Warning with Auto-brakesystem, see page 168.
WARNING
•
City Safety™ is a supplemental aid to the driver. It can never replace thedriver’s attention to traffic conditionsor his/her responsibility for operatingthe vehicle in a safe manner.
• City Safety™ does not function in alldriving situations or in all traffic,weather or road conditions.

Collision warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection*
04
172* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
If warnings are given too frequently, the warning distance can be reduced (seepage 170). This causes the system to pro-vide later warnings, which decreases thetotal number of warnings provided.
WARNING
• The system is not activated at speeds under approx. 2 mph (4 km/h). There-fore, it will not brake your vehicle if youapproach a vehicle ahead at very lowspeed, such as when parking.
• The driver's actions always have high-est priority and override the CollisionWarning system. This means that thesystem will not intervene in situationswhere the driver is actively steering,braking or pressing the acceleratorpedal, even if a collision is imminent.
• When Auto-brake has prevented a col-lision with a stationary object, yourvehicle will remain at a standstill forapprox. 1.5 seconds. If your vehiclehas been braked for a moving vehicleahead, your vehicle's speed will bereduced to the same speed as thatvehicle's.
The camera’s limitationsThe camera is used by Collision Warning with Auto-brake, Driver Alert Control (seepage 176), and Lane Departure Warning (seepage 179).
NOTE
•To help protect the camera in very hot conditions, it may be temporarilyswitched off for approximately 15minutes after the engine has beenstarted.
• Keep the section of the windshield infront of the camera clean and free ofice, snow, or condensation.
WARNING
•The camera has the same limitations as the human eye. In other words, its“vision is impaired” by adverseweather conditions such as heavysnowfall, dense fog, etc. These condi-tions may reduce the function of sys-tems that depend on the camera orcause these systems to temporarilystop functioning.
• Never place any objects, decals, etc.,on the windshield in front of the cam-era. This could reduce or block thecamera’s function, and could causeone or more of the systems that utilizethe camera to stop functioning.
• Strong sunlight, reflections from theroad surface, ice or snow covering theroad, a dirty road surface, or unclearlane marker lines may drasticallyreduce the camera’s capacity todetect the side of a lane, a pedestrianor another vehicle.

Park assist*
04
182* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
The park assist system is designed to assist you when driving into parking spaces,garages, etc. It utilizes ultrasound sensors inthe front bumper and rear bumper(s) to meas-ure the distance to a vehicle or an object thatmay be close to the front or rear of your vehi-cle. An audible signal and symbols in theaudio system’s display indicate the distanceto the object.
NOTE
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with the vehicle's electrical system will beincluded in the measurement of the availa-ble space behind the vehicle.
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT a safety system. This system is designedto be a supplementary aid when parkingthe vehicle. It is not, however, intended toreplace the driver's attention and judge-ment.
Function
Park assist button
The system is activated automatically when the vehicle is started. The indicator light in thebutton in the center console illuminates whenthe system is on.
• The front park assist system is active from the time the engine is started untilthe vehicle exceeds a speed of approxi-mately 6 mph (10 km/h). It is also activewhen the vehicle is backing up.
• Rear park assist is active when the engineis running and reverse gear has beenselected.

184* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
• Rear park assist is deactivated auto- matically when towing a trailer if Volvogenuine trailer wiring is used. If a non-Volvo trailer hitch is being used, it maybe necessary to switch off the systemmanually, see page 182.
• The system will not detect highobjects, such as a loading dock, etc.
• Objects such as chains, thin shinypoles or low objects may temporarilynot be detected by the system. Thismay result in the pulsing tone unex-pectedly stopping instead of changingto a constant tone as the vehicleapproaches the object. In such cases,use caution when backing up or stopthe vehicle to help avoid damage.
Front park assist
G021424
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audiblesignal comes from the audio system's frontspeakers. It may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since theselights could trigger the system's sensors.
NOTE
Front park assist is deactivated when the parking brake is applied and or when thegear selector is in the
P position.
Faults in the system
If the information symbol illuminates andPark assist syst Service required is shown
on the information display, this indicates that the system is not functioning properly andhas been disengaged. Consult a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning sig-nals that can be caused by external soundsources that use the same ultrasound fre-quencies as the system. This may includesuch things as the horns of other vehicles,wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This doesnot indicate a fault in the system.
