Prerequisites
The prerequisites for activating Pilot Assist are:• The driver's seat belt must be buckled and the driver's door must be closed.
• There must be a vehicle ahead (a target vehi-cle) within a reasonable distance or yourvehicle's current speed must be at least9 mph (15 km/h).
With ACC in standby mode: 1. Tap
▶ (6).
> The symbol
will change to Pilot
Assist in standby mode (8).
2. Press the
button (2) on the left-side
steering wheel keypad.
> Pilot Assist will go into active mode and the current speed will be stored and dis- played in the center of the speedometer. or
If Adaptive Cruise Control has been started:
–Tap ▶ (6).
> Pilot Assist will start.
Pilot Assist's steering assis- tance is only active when thesteering wheel symbol (2)changes from GRAY toGREEN.
And Pilot Assist will only regulate the time inter- val to the vehicle ahead when a vehicle symbol(1) is displayed above the steering wheel. At the same time, a speedinterval will be marked. The higher speed is the one stored by the driver and thelower one is the speed of thevehicle ahead (target vehicle).WARNING
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance sys- tem. The driver is always responsible forsteering or applying the brakes if the systemdoes not detect another vehicle. Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding driving conditions such as city driving or other heavytraffic situations, in slippery conditions, whenthere is a great deal of water or slush on theroad, during heavy rain or snow, in poor visibil-ity, on winding roads or on highway on- or off-ramps. In certain situations, it may be difficult for Pilot Assist to assist the driver correctly or to deac-tivate automatically. In such cases, it is advisa-ble not to use Pilot Assist. Examples of suchsituations may be:
• the lane's side market lines are missing, badly faded or cross each other.
• the division of lanes is not clear, e.g.,when a line divides or merges withanother, at exits or if there are many roadsigns/markers.
• there are edges or other lines on or nearthe lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repairedareas, sharp shadows, etc.
• the lane is narrow or winding.

In certain situations, it may be difficult for Pilot Assist to assist the driver correctly or to deac-tivate automatically. In such cases, it is advisa-ble not to use Pilot Assist. Examples of suchsituations may be:
• the lane's side market lines are missing, badly faded or cross each other.
• the division of lanes is not clear, e.g.,when a line divides or merges withanother, at exits or if there are many roadsigns/markers.
• there are edges or other lines on or nearthe lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repairedareas, sharp shadows, etc.
• the lane is narrow or winding.
• the lane is at the top of a hill, on anuneven road surface or over a bump.
•bad weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, slush, poor visibility, backlighting, etc).
The driver should also be aware that Pilot Assist has the following limitations: • High curbs, barriers and temporary obsta- cles (cones, barriers etc) may not bedetected or could be detected incorrectlyas side marker lines, which may create arisk of collision. The driver must ensure asafe distance to these obstacles.
• The camera or radar sensor may not beable to detect objects if there are pot-holes or if there are stationary objectspartially or completely blocking the road.
• Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
• Pilot Assist's steering capacity is limitedand may not always be able to help thedriver keep the vehicle in the lane.
The driver can always take action to override PilotAssist.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsPilot Assist is primarily intended for use on rela-tively level roads. The function may not be able tomaintain the correct time interval to the vehicleahead on when driving down steep hills. Thedriver should be attentive and prepared to applythe brakes in these situations. Do not use Pilot Assist when the vehicle is trans-porting a heavy load or if it is towing a trailer.
Additional information
•
The Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected if Pilot Assist is activated.
• Pilot Assist uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which have certain general limi-tations. See the articles "Camera limitations"and "Radar sensor limitations" for additionalinformation.

Camera limitations
The camera used by several of the driver support systems has certain limitations, which also affectthe systems using it.
Reduced visibility
WARNING
• The camera has the same limitations as the human eye. In other words, its “visionis impaired” by adverse weather condi-tions such as heavy snowfall, dense fog,etc. These conditions may reduce thefunction of systems that depend on thecamera or cause these systems to tem-porarily stop functioning.
• Strong sunlight, reflections from the roadsurface, ice or snow covering the road, adirty road surface, or unclear lane markerlines may drastically reduce the camera

CauseAction
Water or snow on the surface of the road swirl up and block radar signals or the camera's view. No action. The driver should be extra alert in conditions of this type.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar sensor. Have the area of the windshield cleaned by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Strong backlighting No action required. The came will reset automatically when lightingconditions improve.
High temperaturesIf the temperature in the passenger compartment is very high, the camera and radar sensor may betemporarily turned off for approx. 15 minutesafter the engine has been started to protect theirelectronic components. When the temperaturehas cooled sufficiently, the camera and radarsensor will restart automatically.
Damaged windshield
CAUTION
•Service and maintenance on City Safety may only be carried out by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
• If a crack, scratch or stone chip shouldoccur in the section of the windshield infront the camera/radar sensor, contact atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian to repair or replace the windshield.Failing to do so may result in reducedCity Safety functionality.
• This can also result in certain functionsbeing reduced or disabled, or they mayrespond incorrectly.
To help avoid the risk of incorrect, reduced ordisabled functionality for driver support sys-tems using the camera or radar sensors:
• Volvo recommends that cracks, scratchesor stone chips on the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor should
not
be repaired; in such cases, the entire windshield 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 isused, this may cause City Safety to func-tion improperly or not at all.
• Volvo recommends the use of only Genu-ine Volvo Replacement Windshields.
• When replacing windshield wipers, usethe same type or ones approved by Volvo.
After the windshield has been replaced, thecamera/radar sensor will have to be recalibra-ted by a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician to help ensure proper function ofall of the vehicle's camera-/radar-based sys-tems.

STARTING AND DRIVING
364in countries where it may be difficult to obtain the correct fuel.
• Consider your destination. If you will be driv-ing through an area where snow or ice arelikely to occur, consider using snow tires.
Driving economically
Better driving economy can be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stopsand adjusting the speed of your vehicle to imme-diate traffic conditions.
Economical driving conserves natural resources
Observe the following rules: • Bring the engine to normal operating tem- perature as soon as possible by driving witha light foot on the accelerator pedal for thefirst few minutes of operation. A cold engineuses more fuel and is subject to increasedwear.
• Whenever possible, avoid using the vehiclefor driving short distances. This does notallow the engine to reach normal operatingtemperature.
• Drive carefully and avoid rapid accelerationand hard braking.
• Use the transmission's Drive (
D) position as
often as possible and avoid using kick-down.
• Using the engine's Eco function can helpimprove fuel economy.
• Do not exceed posted speed limits.
• Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load)in the vehicle.
• Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tirepressure regularly (when the tires are cold). •
Use tires recommended by Volvo for yourvehicle.
• Remove snow tires when threat of snow orice has ended.
• Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc, increaseair resistance and also fuel consumption.
• At highway driving speeds, fuel consumptionwill be lower with the air conditioning on andthe windows closed than with the air condi-tioning off and the windows open.
• Using the onboard trip computer's fuel con-sumption modes can help you learn how todrive more economically.
Other factors that decrease gas mileage are:
• Dirty air cleaner
• Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
• Dragging brakes
• Incorrect front end alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and othersare checked at the standard maintenance inter-vals.
Handling and roadholding
• Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pres-sure all affect vehicle handling. Therefore,check that the tires are inflated to the rec-ommended pressure according to the vehicleload. Loads should be distributed so that

Overheating the engine and transmission
In demanding driving conditions, such as when transporting heavy loads, driving in mountainousareas or in very hot weather there is a risk ofoverheating the engine or transmission.
• The engine's output may be slightly limited if there is a risk of overheating.
• Remove e.g., auxiliary lights mounted in frontof the grille in hot weather.
• If the temperature of the engine coolantbecomes too high, the warning symbol will illuminate and the message
Engine
temperature/Stop safely will be displayed.
Stop the vehicle as soon as possible in a safe place and let the engine idle for severalminutes.
• If the message
Engine temperature/High
temperature Turn off engine or Engine
coolant/Stop safely is displayed, stop
safely and turn off the engine.
• If the transmission begins to overheat, an alternative gear shifting program will beselected. An integrated protective functionwill also by activated, the warning symbol will illuminate and the message
Transmission
warmHigh temperature Reduce speed
or Transmission warmStop safely, wait
for cooling will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel. •
The air conditioning may be switched off temporarily.
• After a prolonged period of driving, do notturn off the engine immediately after stop-ping.
• The engine cooling fan commonly continuesto run for several minutes after the enginehas been turned off.
WARNING
The cooling fan (located at the front of the engine compartment, behind the radiator) maystart or continue to operate (for up to6 minutes) after the engine has beenswitched off.

Emission controls
Three-way catalytic converter
•Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving theelectrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems,may cause unusually high three-way catalyticconverter temperatures. Do not continue tooperate your vehicle if you detect enginemisfire, noticeable loss of power or otherunusual operating conditions, such as engineoverheating or backfiring. A properly tunedengine will help avoid malfunctions thatcould damage the three-way catalytic con-verter.
• Do not park your vehicle over combustiblematerials, such as grass or leaves, which cancome into contact with the hot exhaust sys-tem and cause such materials to ignite undercertain wind and weather conditions.
• Excessive starter cranking (in excess of oneminute), or an intermittently firing or floodedengine can cause three-way catalytic con-verter or exhaust system overheating.
• Remember that tampering or unauthorizedmodifications to the engine, the Engine Con-trol Module, or the vehicle may be illegal andcan cause three-way catalytic converter orexhaust system overheating. This includes:altering fuel injection settings or compo-nents, altering emission system components or location or removing components, and/orrepeated use of leaded fuel.NOTE
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converters.
Heated oxygen sensorsThe heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. Readings are fedinto a control module that continuously monitorsengine functions and controls fuel injection. Theratio of fuel to air into the engine is continuouslyadjusted for efficient combustion to help reduceharmful emissions.

Driving with a trailer
When towing a trailer, always observe the legal requirements of the state/province.
• All Volvo models are equipped with energy- absorbing shock-mounted bumpers. Trailerhitch installation should not interfere with theproper operation of this bumper system.
Trailer towing does not normally present any par-ticular problems, but take into consideration:
• Increase tire pressure to recommended fullpressure.
• When your vehicle is new, avoid towing heavytrailers during the first 620 miles (1,000 km).
• Maximum speed when towing a trailer:50 mph (80 km/h).
• Engine and transmission are subject toincreased loads. Therefore, engine coolanttemperature should be closely watched whendriving in hot climates or hilly terrain. Use alower gear and turn off the air conditioner ifthe temperature gauge needle enters the redrange.
• If the automatic transmission begins to over-heat, a message will be displayed in the textwindow.
• Avoid overload and other abusive operation.
• Hauling a trailer affects handling, durability,and economy. •
It is necessary to balance trailer brakes withthe towing vehicle brakes to provide a safestop (check and observe state/local regula-tions).
• Do not connect the trailer's brake systemdirectly to the vehicle's brake system.
• More frequent vehicle maintenance isrequired.
• Remove the ball holder when the hitch is notbeing used.
NOTE
•
When parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill, apply the parking brake before put- ting the gear selector in
P. Always follow
the trailer manufacturer's recommenda- tions for wheel chocking.
• When starting on a hill, put the gear selector in
D before releasing the parking
brake.
• If you use the manual (Geartronic) shift positions while towing a trailer, make surethe gear you select does not put toomuch strain on the engine (using toohigh a gear).
• The drawbar assembly/trailer hitch maybe rated for trailers heavier than the vehi-cle is designed to tow. Please adhere toVolvo's recommended trailer weights.
• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines ofmore than 15%.
