LIGHTING
}}
* Option/accessory. 155
With the steering wheel lever's lighting ring in the position, the daytime running lights (DRL
1
)
will illuminate when the vehicle is driven in day-
light conditions. The headlights will switch auto-
matically from daytime running lights to low
beams in weak daylight or dark conditions. The
headlights will also switch to low beams if the
front fog lights* and/or rear fog light are acti-
vated.
US models: When mode is selected, the
daytime running lights can be deactivated in the
center display. The parking lights will also be
deactivated. In weak daylight or dark conditions,
the parking lights and low beams will be illumi-
nated.
In the US: With the lighting ring in the or
position, the daytime running lights will be
off.
In Canada: With the lighting ring in the or
position, the daytime running lights will be
on.
NOTE Volvo recommends use of Daytime Running
Lights in the US. Its use is mandatory in Can-
ada.
WARNING The system is an energy saving aid – it cannot
in all situations determine when the daylight is
too weak or not strong enough, e.g. when
there is fog or rain.
The driver is always responsible for driving the
vehicle with lighting that is safe for the traffic
conditions and as specified by applicable traf-
fic regulations.

* Option/accessory. 157
Active high beam
Active high beams is a function that uses cam-
era sensors in the upper edge of the windshield
to detect the headlights of approaching vehicles
or the taillights of the vehicle directly ahead.
When either of these is detected, the vehicle's
headlights will automatically switch from high
beams to low beams. Active high beam is enabled by moving the lighting ring
on the steering wheel lever to
.
The function can also detect street lighting.
When the camera sensor no longer detects an
approaching vehicle or a vehicle ahead, the head-
lights will return to high beams. This function can be used in dark conditions
when the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h
(approx. 12 mph) or higher.
If active high beams are deactivated when the
high beams are on, the headlights will automati-
cally switch to low beams.
When active high beams are activated, a white symbol will be displayed in the instrument
panel.
When high beams are on, the symbol will be blue.
For LED headlights, this applies even if the high
beams are partially dimmed, i.e. if the headlights
are illuminated with slightly more than low beams.
Vehicles with LED 3
headlights*
If the active high beams are equipped with the
auto on/off function 4
, the headlights will return to
high beams a second or so after the camera sen-
sor no longer detects the headlights of approach-
ing vehicles or the taillights of a vehicle ahead.
Limitations for active high beams
The camera sensor on which the function is
based has limitations. If this symbol and the message Active
High Beam Temporarily unavailable is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, switching between high
and low beams must be done manually. The light-
ing ring on the steering wheel lever can remain in
the position. The symbol will go out
when the message is displayed. The same applies if this symbol along
with the message
Windscreen
sensor Sensor blocked, see Owner's manual is displayed. Active high beams may be temporarily unavailable
in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or rain. When
active high beams become available again, or the
windshield sensors are no longer blocked, the
message will disappear and the
symbol will
be displayed.
WARNING Automatic high beam is an aid in using the
best possible light based on prevailing condi-
tions.
The driver is always responsible for manually
switching between high and low beam when
traffic situations or weather conditions require
this.

then releases the brake, the brake lights resume
their normal brightness.

3 - Auto-brake
The automatic braking function is activated at the
last moment.
If the driver has not taken evasive action by this
stage and a collision is imminent, the automatic
braking function will be triggered. This occurs
whether or not the driver is pressing the brake
pedal. Full braking force will be applied to reduce
the speed at impact or reduced braking effect will
be applied if this is sufficient to avoid the colli-
sion.
The seat belt tensioners may be activated along
with the automatic braking function. See "Seat
belt tensioners" for more information.
In certain situations, auto-braking may begin with
a limited braking force before applying full brak-
ing force.
If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehi-
cle will be kept at a standstill until the driver
takes action. If the vehicle has slowed to avoid
colliding with a slower-moving vehicle ahead, your
speed will be reduced to that vehicle's speed.
Auto-braking can always be cancelled if the
driver presses hard on the accelerator pedal.
NOTE
When City Safety activates the brakes, the
brake lights come on. When City Safety applies the brakes, a text mes-
sage will appear in the instrument panel to notify
the driver that the function is/was activated.
WARNING
City Safety may not be used to change how
the driver operates the vehicle. The driver
must not only rely on City Safety to brake the
vehicle.

City Safety™ (p. 335) Setting a warning distance for City
Safety
City Safety is always active, but the function's
warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE The City Safety function cannot be deacti-
vated. It is activated automatically each time
the engine/electric motor is started.
The alert distance determines the sensitivity of
the system and regulates the distance at which
the light, sound and brake pulsations will be acti-
vated.
To select warning distance:
1.

Select Settings My Car IntelliSafe
in
the center display's Top view.
2. Under City Safety Warning, tap Late,
Normal or Early to set the desired warning distance.
If the driver feels that the Early setting is giving
too many warnings or finds them irritating, the
Normal or Late warning distance settings can
be selected instead.
If the driver feels that the warnings are too fre-
quent and distracting, the warning distance can
be reduced. This will reduce the total number of
warnings, but it will also result in City Safety pro-
viding warnings at a later stage.

DRIVER SUPPORT

The
Late warning distance setting should there-
fore only be used in exceptional cases, such as
when a more dynamic driving style is preferred.
WARNING •
No automatic system can guarantee
100% correct function in all situations.
You should therefore never test use of
City Safety in the direction of people, ani-
mals or vehicles – this could lead to
severe damage, serious personal injury or
even death.
• City Safety warns the driver if there is a
risk of collision, but the function cannot
reduce the driver's reaction time.
• Even if the warning distance has been set
to Early, warnings may be perceived as
late in certain situations – e.g. when there
are large speed differences or if the vehi-
cle ahead suddenly brakes heavily.
• With the warning distance set to
Early,
warnings come further in advance. This
may cause the warnings to come more
frequently than with warning distance
Normal, but is recommended since it can
make City Safety more effective.
NOTE The warning with direction indicators for Rear
Collision Warning is deactivated if the colli-
sion warning distance in the City Safety func-
tion is set to the lowest level "
Late".
The seat belt tensioning and braking func-
tions remain active.

• City Safety™ (p. 335) Detecting obstacles with City Safety
City Safety can detect vehicles, cyclists, large
animals and pedestrians.
VehiclesCity Safety detects most types of vehicles that
are either stationary, moving in the same direc-
tion as your vehicle or those described in "City
Safety in crossing traffic".
For City Safety to be able to detect a vehicle in
the dark, its headlights and taillights must be on
and clearly visible.
Cyclists Optimal examples of what City Safety would interpret to
be a cyclist: clear body and bicycle shapes.
For optimal performance, the system's function
for cyclist detection needs the clearest possible
information about the contours of the bicycle and
of the cyclist's head, arm, shoulders, legs, torso
