Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driver support systems that can provide the driver withactive or passive assistance in various situations.
The system can, for example, help the driver maintain a set speed or a set time interval to thevehicle ahead, help prevent a collision by warningthe driver and applying the brakes, or assist thedriver while parking. Some of the systems are standard and others are options. This also varies from market to market.

Speed-dependent steering wheelresistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases the steering wheel resistance in pace with the vehi-cle's speed to give the driver an enhanced feel-ing of control and stability.
Steering may feel stiffer on highways. When parking and at low speeds, it will be easier tomove the steering wheel.
NOTE
In some situations, the power steering may become too hot and require temporary cool-ing – during such time the power steering willwork at reduced output and the steeringwheel may feel more difficult to move. In parallel with the temporarily reduced steer- ing assistance, the driver display shows amessage as well as a STEERING WHEELsymbol.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.271
WARNING
While the power steering is working at reduced power, the driver support functionswith steering assistance are not available. In such a situation, the driver display shows the
Power steering failure or Power
Steering Assist Temporarily Reduced
message, combined with a STEERING WHEEL symbol.
Changing the level of steering wheel resistance *
To change the level of steering wheel resistance, see the description of the INDIVIDUAL optionunder "Available drive modes" in the "Drivemodes" section. On models not equipped with drive mode con- trols and the INDIVIDUAL option, steering wheelresistance can instead be set in the center dis-play's Top view under:
SettingsMy CarDrive ModesSteering force
Steering wheel resistance settings cannot be accessed when turning at speeds above10 km/h (6 mph).

Stability system Roll StabilityControl
The Roll Stability Control (RSC 1
) system helps
minimize the risk of a rollover in the event of e.g. a sudden evasive maneuver or if the vehiclebegins to skid.
The RSC system monitors the lateral angle at which the vehicle is leaning and registers anychanges. Using this information, the system cal-culates the likelihood of a rollover. If there is animminent risk of a rollover, Electronic StabilityControl is activated, engine torque is reduced andbrakes are applied to one or more of the wheelsuntil the vehicle has regained stability.
WARNING

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
322
The driver is responsible for ensuring that the vehicle maintains a suitable distancefrom such obstacles.
• The camera and radar sensors do nothave the capacity to detect all oncomingobjects and obstacles in traffic environ-ments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstaclesor objects that completely or partiallyblock the route.
• Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
• The recommended steering input is lim-ited in force, which means that it cannotalways help the driver to steer and keepthe vehicle within the lane.
• Pilot Assist is switched off if the powersteering is working with reduced power -e.g. during cooling due to overheating(see section "Speed-dependent steeringforce").
The driver can always correct or adjust steeringassistance provided by Pilot Assist by turning thesteering wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsPilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven onflat roads. The function may not be able to main-tain the correct time interval to the vehicle aheadwhen driving down steep hills. The driver should be extra attentive and prepared to apply thebrakes.
• Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carry-ing a heavy load or towing a trailer.
NOTE
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer, bike carrier or similar is connected to thevehicle electrical system.
Other limitations
•
The Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera unit, which has some general limitations – see thesection "Camera unit limitations".
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar unit, which has some general limitations – see thesection "Radar unit limitations".

City Safety limitations
City Safety functionality may be reduced in cer- tain situations.
Surroundings
Low objects
Hanging objects, such as flags for overhanging loads or accessories such as auxiliary lights orfront protective grids that extend beyond theheight of the hood, may limit City Safety function-ality.
Slippery road conditions
The extended braking distance on slippery roads may reduce City Safety's capacity to help avoid acollision. In these types of situations, the Anti-lock Braking System and Electronic Stability Con- trol (ESC 77
) will help provide optimal braking
power with maintained stability.
Backlighting
The visual warning signal in the windshield may be difficult to detect in bright sunlight, if there arereflections, or if the driver is wearing sunglassesor not looking straight ahead.
Heat
If the temperature in the passenger compartment is high due to e.g. bright sunlight, the visual warn-ing signal in the windshield may be temporarilydisabled.
Camera and radar sensor's field of vision
The camera's field of vision is limited and in cer- tain situations, it may be unable to detect pedes-trians, large animals, cyclists or vehicles, or it maydetect them later than expected. Vehicles that are dirty may be detected later than clean vehicles, and in dark conditions, motorcy-cles may be detected late or not at all. If a text message displayed in the instrument panel indicates that the camera/radar sensor isobstructed, it may be difficult for City Safety todetect pedestrians, large animals, cyclists, vehi-cles or lane markings in front of the vehicle. CitySafety functionality may therefore be reduced. Text messages may not be displayed for all situa- tions in which the windshield sensors areblocked. The driver must therefore always keepthe windshield in front of the camera/radar sen-sor clean.
CAUTION
Maintenance and replacement of City Safety components may only be performed by aworkshop – an authorized Volvo workshop isrecommended.
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 thereforenot intervene in situations in which your vehicle isapproaching another vehicle very slowly, such aswhen 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 in situa-tions in which the driver is clearly steering andoperating the accelerator pedal, even if a collisionis unavoidable. An active and aware driving style may therefore delay collision warnings and intervention in order to minimize unnecessary warnings.

The driver can determine what types of assis- tance LKA 112
should provide if the vehicle veers
from its lane.
1. Select SettingsMy CarIntelliSafe in
the center display's Top view.

what assistance LKA should provide:
•
Assist the driver will receive steering
assistance but no warning.
•
Both - the driver will receive both steering
assistance and a warning.
•
Warning - the driver will only receive a
warning.

Lane Keeping Aid limitations
In certain demanding driving conditions, Lane Keeping Aid may not be able to properly assistthe driver. In these situations, it is recommendedthat the function be deactivated.
Examples of such situations include:
• road work
• winter driving conditions
• poor road surfaces
• a very sporty driving style
• bad weather with reduced visibility
• roads with indistinct or no lane markings
• sharp edges or lines other than the lane's side markings
• when the power steering works at reducedpower - e.g. during cooling due to overheat-ing (see section "Speed-dependent steeringforce").
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera unit, which has some general limitations – see thesection "Camera unit limitations".
