Power front seats*
The power front seats can be adjusted in a num-
ber of different ways for optimal comfort and
ergonomics. The power seats can be moved for-
ward/backward and up/down. The height and
length* of the seat cushion and the tilt of the
backrest can be adjusted. Lumbar support can
be adjusted up, down, forward and backward.
The power seats have an overload protector that
is triggered if a seat is blocked by any object. If
this occurs, remove the object and attempt to
adjust the seat again.
The power seats can be adjusted for a certain
period of time after the door is unlocked without
the engine running. The seats can always be
adjusted while the engine is running. They can
also be adjusted for a short period after the
engine is turned off.

that the stored position has been erased.
The tailgate can then be opened to its
maximum position.

DRIVER SUPPORT
344City 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 or
front protective grids that extend beyond the
height 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 a
collision. 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 are
reflections, or if the driver is wearing sunglasses
or 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 temporarily
disabled.
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 may
detect 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 is
obstructed, it may be difficult for City Safety to
detect pedestrians, large animals, cyclists, vehi-
cles or lane markings in front of the vehicle. City
Safety functionality may therefore be reduced.
Text messages may not be displayed for all situa-
tions in which the windshield sensors are
blocked. The driver must therefore always keep
the windshield in front of the camera/radar sen-
sor clean.
CAUTION Maintenance and replacement of City Safety
components may only be performed by a
workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is
recommended.
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 therefore
not intervene in situations in which your vehicle is
approaching another vehicle very slowly, such as
when parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. City
Safety will therefore not react or will react at a
later stage with a warning or intervention in situa-
tions in which the driver is clearly steering and
operating the accelerator pedal, even if a collision
is unavoidable.
An active and aware driving style may therefore
delay collision warnings and intervention in order
to minimize unnecessary warnings.

Electronic Stability Control

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
450 Leveling control* and suspension
The vehicle's leveling control system adjusts the
suspension and shock absorbers automatically
to help provide good comfort and control while
driving. Leveling can also be controlled manually
to facilitate loading or getting in and out of the
vehicle.
Pneumatic suspension and shock
absorbers
The system is adapted to the selected drive
mode and vehicle speed. The pneumatic suspen-
sion reduces the vehicle's ground clearance at
higher speeds to reduce air resistance and
increase stability. The shock absorbers are nor-
mally set to provide the best possible comfort and are adjusted continuously according to the
road surface and the vehicle's acceleration, brak-
ing and cornering.
The instrument panel indicates
when the suspension level is
being adjusted. The level cannot be adjusted when any of the
side doors or the tailgate is open.
ParkingWhen parking, make sure that there is adequate
space above and below the vehicle since ground
clearance may vary depending on e.g. ambient
temperature, how the vehicle is loaded, if loading
mode is used, which drive mode is selected after
the engine is started, etc.
The level may also be adjusted a period after the
vehicle is parked. This is to compensate for any
height changes that may occur due to tempera-
ture changes in the air springs when the vehicle
cools.
TransportingWhen transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train or
truck, only secure (lash) the vehicle around the
tires, not using any other parts of the chassis.
Changes in the pneumatic suspension may occur
during transport, which could adversely affect the
lashing and result in damage.
