Prerequisites
The prerequisites for activating Pilot Assist are:
•The vehicle ahead must be within a reasona-ble (detectable) distance
•The camera must be able to clearly detectthe traffic lane's side marker lines
•The vehicle's speed must be under approx.30 mph (50 km/h).
A WHITE symbol indicates thatPilot Assist has been selected.
In other cases, the WHITEarrow pointing to the right indi-cates that the system is availa-ble.
A YELLOW symbol with a flashing WHITE arrowindicates that the system is about to shift intostandby mode.
With ACC in standby mode:
1.Tap ▶ (6).
>The symbol will be displayed and PilotAssist will go into standby mode.
2.Press the button (2) on the left-sidesteering wheel keypad.
>Pilot Assist will go into active mode.

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 drivingconditions 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 PilotAssist 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 PilotAssist 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.

Hands on the steering wheel
Pilot Assist only functions when the driver'shands are on the steering wheel, which is con-tinuously monitored by the system. If this is notthe case, the driver will be alerted by a text mes-sage in the instrument panel. If the driver's handsare not returned to the steering wheel, an audiblesignal will sound.
If the driver does not return his/her hands to thesteering wheel after the audible signal, PilotAssist will go into standby mode and must be
reactivated by pressing .

Radar sensor limitations
The radar sensor used by several of the driversupport systems has certain limitations, whichalso affect the systems using it.

Obstructions
The marked area must not be obstructed in any way.This area of the windshield should always be kept clean
The radar sensor is located at the upper, centersection of the windshield along with the camera.
WARNING
Never place any objects, decals, electronic tolldevices, window tinting films etc., on the wind-shield in front of or around the camera/radarsensor. This could reduce or block these com-ponents' functions, and could cause one ormore of the systems that utilize them to stopfunctioning.
This can also result in certain functions beingreduced or disabled, or they may respondincorrectly.
If this symbol and the messageWindscreen Sensors blockedappear in the instrument panel, thisindicates that the camera and/or radarsensor cannot detect other vehicles ahead.
The following table shows some of the situationsthat can cause the message to be displayed andsuggested actions.
CauseAction
The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is dirty or covered by iceor snow.Clean the windshield or remove the ice/ snow.
Thick fog or heavy rain/snow reduces the camera/radar sensor's range of visibility.No action. The driver should be extra alert in conditions of thistype.
Water or snow on the surface of the road swirl up and block radar signals or the camera'sview.No action. The driver should be extra alert in conditions of thistype.
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 quali-fied Volvo service technician.

CauseAction
The area of the wind-shield in front of thecamera/radar sensor isdirty or covered by ice orsnow.
Clean the wind-shield or removethe ice/ snow.
Thick fog or heavy rain/snow blocks reduces thecamera/radar sensor'srange of visibility.
No action. Thedriver should beextra alert in condi-tions of this type.
There is dirt betweenthe inside of the wind-shield and the camera/radar sensor.
Have the area ofthe windshieldcleaned by atrained and quali-fied Volvo servicetechnician.

CAUTION
•Service and maintenance on City Safetymay 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 frontof the camera/radar sensor should notbe repaired; in such cases, the entirewindshield 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.

Maintenance
In order for City Safety to function properly, thearea of the windshield must be kept free of dirt,ice, snow, etc.

Other vehicle functions
If a message is displayed in the instrument panel,this means that the other systems using the cam-era/radar sensor (see the list below) will not havefull functionality or may not function at all.
The camera and radar sensor is used by the fol-lowing functions:
•Distance Alert*
•Driver Alert Control*
•Adaptive Cruise Control*
•Pilot Assist*
•Run-off Mitigation
•Road Sign Information*
•Active High Beams*
•Lane Keeping Aid*

Do not mount or in any way attach anything onthe windshield that could obstruct the camera/radar sensor.

WARNING
•The camera has the same type of limita-tions as the human eye, i.e., it cannot seeas well in heavy snowfall or rain, thick fogor in heavy blowing dust or snow. In suchconditions, systems depending on thecamera may experience greatly reducedfunctionality or may be temporarily deacti-vated.
•Never place any objects, decals, etc., onthe windshield in front of the camera. Thiscould reduce or block the camera

Camera and radar sensor's field of vision
The camera and radar sensor have limited fieldsof vision. In some situations they may detect avehicle, large animal, pedestrian or cyclist laterthan expected or not detect them at all.
Other vehicles that are dirty may be detectedlater than others and in dark conditions, motorcy-cles may be detected late or not at all.
If a text message is displayed in the instrumentpanel indicates that the camera or radar sensorare blocked, it may be difficult for City Safety todetect a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist and thesystem's functionality may be reduced.

WARNING
Text messages may not be displayed in all sit-uations in which the camera and/or radarsensor are blocked. It is therefore essential tokeep the windshield in front the camera/radarsensor clean and free from snow, ice, etc.
Camera and radar sensor components shouldonly be serviced or replaced by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.

Action by the driver
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated while thevehicle is backing up.

Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds(under approx. 3 mph (4 km/h). This means that
the system will not be triggered if your vehicleapproaches a vehicle ahead at very low speed,such as when parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. For thisreason, City Safety may not react or react laterthan expected in situations in which the driver isactively operating the vehicle, even if a collision isimminent. This is also done to help eliminateexcessive warnings.

Other limitations
City Safety uses the vehicle's camera and radarsensor, which have certain general limitations.See the articles "Camera limitations" and "Radarsensor limitations" for additional information.
WARNING
•Warnings and braking may be delayed ornot occur at all if traffic, weather or otherconditions prevent the camera and/orradar sensor from detecting pedestrians,cyclists, large animals or other vehiclescorrectly.
•Other vehicles can only be detected indarkness if their headlights and taillightsare clearly visible.
•The sensors have a limited range forpedestrians and cyclists. The systemfunctions best at relative speeds up to30 mph (50 km/h). For stationary orslow-moving vehicles, the system func-tions best at speeds up to approx.43 mph (70 km/h).
•If there is a risk of colliding with a largeanimal, City Safety can reduce the vehi-cle's speed by up to 9 mph (15 km/h).Warnings and braking are most effectiveat speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h) andless effective at lower speeds.

WARNING
•Warnings for stationary or slow-movingvehicles and large animals may be impe-ded by darkness or poor visibility.
•Warnings and braking for pedestrians andcyclists will not be provided at speedsabove approx. 43 mph (70 km/h).
