Speed-dependent steering force
The car is equipped with different driver sup-
port systems which can assist the driver in
different situations, either actively or pas-
sively.
For example, the systems can help the driver
to:
Speed related power steering causes the
steering wheel force to increase with the
speed of the car so as to be able to give the
driver enhanced sensitivity. On motorways
the steering is firmer. When parking and at
low speed steering is light and requires less
effort.

traction shall be transferred from the drive
wheels that are not spinning.
Roll Stability Control
Electronic Stability Control in sport
mode
The stability system (ESC6) is always acti-
vated – it cannot be switched off. However,
the driver can select ESC Sport Mode,
which allows for a more active driving experi-
ence.
With the ESC Sport Mode subfunction
selected, intervention from the system is
reduced and the car is allowed to skid more
and greater control than normal is thus trans-
ferred to the driver.
This function reduces the risk of overturning,
for example during a sudden evasive manoeu-
vre or if the car skids. The system registers if
and how much the car's lateral inclination
changes. This information is used to calculate
the risk of the car overturning. If the car is at
risk, its electronic stability control system
engages, the engine torque is reduced and
one or more wheels are braked until the car
has regained its stability.
The function can also prevent the driving
wheels from spinning against the road surface
during acceleration.
Engine Drag Control
Engine Drag Control (EDC3) can prevent invol-
untary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down
or engine braking when driving in low gear on
slippery road surfaces.
WARNING
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the func-
tion can be considered as deactivated, despite
the function continuing to help the driver in
many cases.
Under normal driving conditions, the sys-
tem improves the car's road safety, but this
must not be taken as a reason to increase
speed. Always follow the normal precau-
tions for safe driving.
Involuntary wheel locking while driving can,
amongst other things, impair the driver's abil-
ity to steer the car.

make a driver aware that there may be a
potentially dangerous traffic situation further
ahead on the same road.
The function can inform the driver whether
another vehicle further ahead on the same
road has activated its hazard warning flashers
or detected slippery driving conditions. Infor-
mation about slippery driving conditions is
also given if your own car detects slippery sur-

City Safety™
City Safety13 can use lights, sound and a
brake pulse warning to alert the driver to
pedestrians, cyclists, larger animals and vehi-
cles.
Connected Safety is not available in all
markets and does not cover all areas - a
retailer for Volvo has information on cur-
rent areas.
•
The function helps the driver by automatically
braking the car in the event of an imminent
risk of collision if the driver does not react in
time by braking and/or swerving.
City Safety is activated in situations where the
driver should have started braking earlier,
which is why it cannot help the driver in every
situation. The function is designed to be acti-
vated as late as possible in order to avoid
unnecessary intervention. Automatic braking
takes place only after or at the same time as
the collision warning.
WARNING
In certain situations, the function may
give incorrect warnings for slippery
driving conditions.
•
•
The function cannot always detect
other vehicles with activated hazard
warning flashers or detect all sections
of road with slippery surfaces.
The driver or passengers are not normally
aware of City Safety - it only intervenes in a
situation where a collision is immediately
imminent.

and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
Ability to reduce speed
•
•
•
If the speed difference between the driver's
car and the obstacle is greater than the follow-
ing specified speeds, the City Safety auto-
brake function cannot prevent a collision but it
can mitigate the consequences of a collision.
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
Vehicles
For a vehicle in front, City Safety can reduce
the speed by up to 60 km/h (37 mph).
Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.
•
Cyclists
For a cyclist, City Safety can reduce the speed
by up to 50 km/h (30 mph).
Pedestrians
For a pedestrian, City Safety can reduce speed
by up to 45 km/h (28 mph).
Large animals
In the event of a risk of a collision with a large
animal, City Safety can reduce the car's speed
by up to 15 km/h (9 mph).

DRIVER SUPPORT
Brake support reinforces the driver’s braking
action if the system considers that the braking
is not sufficient to avoid a collision.
The steps of City Safety
City Safety carries out three steps in the fol-
lowing order:
On cars with manual gearbox, the engine
stops when the Auto-brake function has
stopped the car, unless the driver has man-
aged to depress the clutch pedal before-
hand.
3 - Auto Brake
The automatic brake function is activated last.
1. Collision warning
2. Brake support
3. Auto Brake
If in this situation the driver has not yet started
to take evasive action and the risk of collision
is imminent then the automatic braking func-
tion is deployed - this takes place irrespective
of whether or not the driver brakes. Braking
then takes place with full brake force in order
to reduce collision speed, or with limited brake
force if it is sufficient to avoid a collision.
1 - Collision warning
The driver is first warned of a potentially immi-
nent collision.
The driver can always interrupt a braking inter-
vention by firmly depressing the accelerator
pedal.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists or
vehicles that are stationary or moving in the
same direction as the car and are ahead. City
Safety can also detect pedestrians, cyclists or
large animals that are crossing the road in
front of the car.
When City Safety brakes, the brake lights
come on.
The seatbelt tensioner can be activated in con-
nection with the engagement of the automatic
brake function.
When City Safety is activated and brakes the
vehicle, the driver display shows a text mes-
sage to the effect that the function is/has
been active.
In the event of a risk of collision with a pedes-
trian, larger animal, cyclist or vehicle, the
driver is alerted by means of a visual, acoustic
and brake pulse warning. There is no brake
pulse warning at lower speeds, sudden driver
braking or acceleration. The brake pulse fre-
quency varies according to the car's speed.
In some situations, the action of Auto-brake
may begin with light braking and then pro-
gress to full brake action.
When City Safety has prevented a collision
with a stationary object, the car remains sta-
tionary in anticipation of positive action by the
driver. If the car has been braked to avoid colli-
sion with a slower vehicle in front, its speed is
reduced to match that of the vehicle in front.
WARNING
City Safety must not be used by the driver
to change his/her driving style - the driver
must not rely on City Safety alone and
allow it to do the braking.
2 - Brake support
If the risk of collision has increased further
after the collision warning then the brake sup-
port is activated.

when it is not possible to avoid a collision by
only steering away.
City Safety assists the driver by continuously
attempting to anticipate whether there are
"escape routes" to the side in case a slow or

stage.
This function uses the car's camera and
radar units, which have certain general lim-

DRIVER SUPPORT
The camera and radar unit's field of view
The camera's field of vision is limited, which is
why pedestrians, large animals, cyclists and
vehicles in some situations cannot be
detected, or they are detected later than
anticipated.
Driver intervention
Important warnings
WARNING
Reversing
When your own car is reversing, City Safety is
temporarily deactivated.
Driver supports only warn of obstacles
which their radar unit has detected –
hence a warning may not be given, or it
may be given with a certain delay.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds
- below 4 km/h (3 mph) - and the system
therefore does not intervene in situations
where your car is approaching a vehicle ahead
very slowly, e.g. when parking.
Dirty vehicles may be detected later than oth-
ers and if it is dark, motorcycles may be
detected late or not at all.
Never wait for a warning or interven-
tion. Apply the brakes when the situa-
tion requires.
•
If a text message in the driver display indicates
that the camera or radar unit is obstructed,
City Safety may be unable to detect pedes-
trians, large animals, cyclists, vehicles or road
lines ahead of the car. This means that the
functionality of City Safety may be reduced.
Active driver
Driver commands are always prioritised,
which is why City Safety does not intervene or
postpone warning/intervention in situations
where the driver is steering and accelerating in
a decisive manner, even if a collision is
unavoidable.
However, an error message is not shown in all
situations where the windscreen sensors are
obstructed. The driver must therefore take
care to keep the area of windscreen in front of
the camera and radar unit clear.
Active and aware driving behaviour can there-
fore delay a collision warning and intervention
in order to minimise unnecessary warnings.
Maintenance of driver support components
must only be performed at a workshop –
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.

Do not place, stick or mount anything
on the outside or inside of the wind-
screen in front of or around the camera
and radar unit — this can interfere with
camera-dependent functions.
The warning is only activated if there is
a high risk of collision – you must
therefore never wait for a collision
warning.

For vehicles to be detected at night,
their headlamps and rear lamp cluster

relative speed is below 50 km/h
(30 mph). For stationary or slow-mov-
ing vehicles, warnings and brake inter-
ventions are effective at vehicle speeds
up to 70 km/h (43 mph). Speed reduc-
tion for large animals is less than 15
km/h (9 mph) and can be achieved at
vehicle speeds above 70 km/h
City Safety does not activates any
auto-brake functions in the event of
heavy acceleration.

reduces the speed.
If the car exceeds a detected speed limit with
the Speed Limit Warning function activated,
a speed warning is given when the car
approaches a speed camera, provided that the
navigation map for the area in question con-
tains information on speed cameras.
Another warning is available only when the
driver has reduced the speed by at least
5 km/h (3 mph) and then exceeds the speed
limit again, or when the car reaches a new/
different speed limit area.
An option is available to receive an acous-

The Pilot Assist function is primarily intended
for use on motorways and similar major roads
where it can contribute to more comfortable
driving and a more relaxed driving experience.
Get to know Pilot Assist
The driver selects the desired speed and a
time interval to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist
scans the distance to the vehicle ahead and
the lane's side markings on the road surface
using the camera unit. The preset time interval
is maintained with automatic speed adjust-
ment whilst the steering assistance helps to
position the car in the lane.
Position of the car in the lane
When Pilot Assist helps to steer, it attempts to
place the car halfway between the visible lane
markings. For a smoother drive, it is a good
idea to allow the car to find a good position.
The driver can always adjust the position him/
herself by increasing the steering input. It is
important that the driver checks to make sure
the car is positioned safely in the lane.
Pilot Assist regulates the speed with accelera-
tion and braking. It is normal for the brakes to
emit a low sound when they are being used to
adjust the speed.
The camera and radar unit measures the distance to
the vehicle ahead and detects side markings.
If Pilot Assist does not position the car in an
appropriate way in the lane, it is recom-
mended to turn Pilot Assist off or switch to
adaptive cruise control*.
Pilot Assist strives to:
regulate the speed smoothly. In situations
that demand sudden braking the driver
must brake himself/herself. This applies in
cases of large speed differences or if the

Temporary disabling of steering
assistance with Pilot Assist*83
Pilot Assist steering assistance can be tem-
porarily disabled and resumed without prior
warning.
When the direction indicators are used, Pilot
Assist steering assistance is temporarily dis-
engaged. When the direction indicator is
switched off, steering assistance is reactivated
automatically if the lane's edge markings can
still be detected.
With automatic standby mode, the driver is
warned via an acoustic signal and a mes-
sage on the driver display.
The speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and
the vehicle ahead turns off so that Pilot
Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.
•
•
The driver must then regulate the car's
speed, apply the brakes as needed and
maintain a safe distance to other vehi-
cles.

Speed is reduced to below 30 km/h
(20 mph) - only applies to cars with man-
ual gearbox.

Limitations of Pilot Assist*84
The Pilot Assist function may have limitations
with poor light conditions, back-light-
ing, wet road surface etc.
WARNING
In certain situations, Pilot Assist steering
assistance may have difficulty helping the
driver in the right way or it may be auto-
matically deactivated - in which case, the
use of Pilot Assist is not recommended.
Examples of such situations may be that:
The driver should also note that Pilot Assist
has the following limitations:
in certain situations.
The Pilot Assist function is an aid which can
help the driver in many situations. But the
driver is at all times responsible for maintain-
ing a safe distance to surrounding objects and
a correct position in the lane.
High kerbs, roadside barriers, tempo-
rary obstacles (traffic cones, safety bar-
riers, etc.) are not detected. Alterna-
tively, they may be detected incorrectly
as lane markings, with a subsequent
risk of contact between the car and
such obstacles. The driver must ensure
him/herself that the car is at a suitable
distance from such obstacles.
•
the lane markings are unclear, worn,
missing, or they cross each other, or if
there are several sets of lane markings.

tem. The driver is always responsible
and must intervene if the system does
not detect a vehicle ahead.
•

Pilot Assist is switched off if the power
steering for speed related steering
force is working with reduced power –
e.g. during cooling due to overheating.
•
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer,
bicycle rack or similar is connected to the

The function does not brake for
humans or animals, and not for small
vehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-
cles. Nor for low trailers, oncoming,
slow or stationary vehicles and objects.
WARNING
Drive mode unavailable
Off Road drive mode cannot be selected
when Pilot Assist is activated.
Pilot Assist must only be used if there are
clear lane lines painted on each side of the
lane. All other use involves increased risk of
contact with surrounding obstacles that
cannot be detected by the function.
Do not use the function in demanding
situations, such as in city traffic, at
junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a
lot of water or slush on the road, in
heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on
winding roads or on slip roads.
•
This function uses the car's camera and

itations.
The driver always has the possibility of cor-
recting or adjusting a steering intervention
imposed by Pilot Assist and can turn the steer-
ing wheel to the desired position.

Warning from driver support in the
event of a collision risk
The driver support systems of adaptive cruise

if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly
becomes too short.
WARNING
When using the Overtaking Assistance
System, the driver should be aware that
there may be undesired acceleration if the
conditions suddenly change.
WARNING
The driver support systems only warn of
vehicles which their radar unit has detected
– hence a warning may not be given, or it
may be given with a certain delay. Never
wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when
the situation requires.
Some situations should therefore be avoi-
ded, such as if:
the car is approaching an exit to turn-
off in the same direction as overtaking
would normally occur.

Intervention with steering assistance and braking
Brake intervention helps in situations where
steering assistance alone is not sufficient. The
brake force is adapted automatically depend-
ing on the situation at the time of road run-off.
The function is active within the speed range
65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) on roads with
clearly visible lane markings/lines.
The function can assist by guiding the car back to its
own lane.
Oncoming vehicles

A camera scans the edges of the road and the
painted side markings. If the car is about to
leave the side of the road, the car is steered
back onto the road and if the steering inter-

brakes are also activated.
At the same time as steering intervention is
activated, collision warning for driver support
is also activated. However, the brake pulse

who does not notice that the car is about to
leave its own lane while an oncoming vehicle
is approaching at the same time, either from
behind or in the blind spot.
The function can even assist if the driver inten-
tionally changes lanes using direction indica-
tors without noticing that another vehicle is
approaching.
If the car is about to leave its own lane while
an oncoming vehicle is approaching at the
same time, the function can help the driver to
steer the car back into its own lane.
The function is active within the speed range
60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with

Driver Alert Control
WARNING
The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function is
intended to help make the driver aware that
he or she is starting to drive less consistently,
e.g. if the driver becomes distracted or starts
to fall asleep.
Driver Alert Control should not be used to
extend a period of driving. The driver
should instead plan for breaks at regular
intervals and make sure they are well
rested.
The objective for DAC is to detect slowly dete-
riorating driving ability and it is primarily
intended for major roads. The function is not
intended for city traffic.
WARNING
An alarm from Driver Alert Control should
be taken very seriously, as a sleepy driver is
often not aware of his/her own condition.
The function is activated when speed exceeds
65 km/h (40 mph) and remains active as long
as the speed is over 60 km/h (37 mph).
The car is being driven erratically in the lane.
If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:
Stop the car safely as soon as possible
and rest.
•
If driving behaviour becomes
noticeably inconsistent, the
driver is alerted by this sym-
bol in the driver display, com-
bined with an acoustic signal
and the text message Time
to take a break.
Studies have shown that it is just as dan-
gerous to drive while tired as it is to drive
under the influence of alcohol or other
stimulants.
If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation*
and has the function Rest Stop Guidance
activated, suggestions for an appropriate
place for a break are also displayed.
The warning is repeated after a time if driving
behaviour has not improved.
DAC reads the position of the car in the lane.

on the carriageway and compares the align-
ment of the road with the driver’s steering
wheel movements.

Limitations of Parking assistance
WARNING
The Parking Assistance System (PAS111) can-
not detect everything in all situations and
may therefore have limited functionality in
some cases.
Pay additional attention
while reversing when this
symbol is shown if a
trailer, bicycle rack or sim-
ilar is mounted and electri-

Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or
low barriers may be in the "signal shadow"
and are then temporarily not detected by
the sensors - the pulsating tone may then

There are also a few details to bear in mind
while parking, e.g.:
Parking is discontinued
A parking sequence will be discontinued:
Under certain circumstances, the function
is unable to find parking spaces - one rea-
son for this may be the fact that there is
interference with the sensors from external
sound sources which emit the same ultra-
sound frequencies as those with which the
system works.
The driver is always responsible for deter-
mining whether the space selected by the
function is suitable for parking.

Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes

Heavy rain or snow may cause the system
to measure the parking space incorrectly.
as the steering servo for speed-dependent
steering wheel resistance is working at
reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to
overheating
•
•
During the search and check-measure-
ment of the parking space, the function
may miss objects positioned deep in the
parking space.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
will reduce their function and may prevent
measurement.
when the parking sensors detect a vehicle
or pedestrian within the intended route in
front of or behind the car during a parking
manoeuvre, the car is auto-braked to sta-
tionary.
Parking spaces on narrow streets are not
always feasible, since the space required
for manoeuvring may not be sufficient.
•
Driver responsibility
Use approved tyres128 with the correct
tyre pressure - this affects the ability of
the function to park the car.
•
•
The driver should bear in mind that the func-
tion is an aid – not an infallible, fully-automatic
function. The driver must therefore be pre-
pared to interrupt a parking step.
Where applicable, a message in the centre
display states the reason for a parking
sequence being discontinued.
The function bases itself on the locations
of vehicles already parked nearby – if they
are inappropriately parked, your own car's
tyres and wheel rims may be damaged by
contact with the kerb.
Perpendicular parking spaces may be

Limitations for camera and radar
unit
The camera and radar unit has certain limita-
tions – which in turn also limit those func-
tions that use the unit. A driver should be
aware about the following examples of limita-
tions.
•
The camera unit is used by several driver sup-
port systems and has the task of for example
detecting lane lines or traffic signs.
•
•
Location of the camera unit
The camera unit is used by the following func-
tions:
Adaptive cruise control*
Pilot Assist*

about 15 minutes after the engine is started so
as to protect the unit's electronics. The cam-
era and radar unit restarts automatically when
the temperature has fallen sufficiently.
Before replacing a windscreen, contact a
workshop132 to verify that the correct
windscreen has been ordered and will be
fitted.
Common limitations for camera and
radar
•
•
•
Blocked unit
Damaged windscreen
The same type of windscreen wipers or
windscreen wipers approved by Volvo
must be fitted when the windscreen is
replaced.
If not rectified it can lead to reduced per-
formance for the driver support systems
that use the camera and radar unit. This
may result functions being reduced, being
switched off completely or giving incorrect
function responses.
When replacing the windscreen, the cam-
era and radar unit must be recalibrated by
a workshop132 to ensure the functionality
of all the camera and radar-based systems
in the car.
Further limitations for radar
The following is also applicable so as not to
risk incorrect function for the driver supports
that use the radar unit:
The marked area must be cleaned regularly and kept
free from stickers, objects, shade film, etc.
Vehicle speed
The radar unit's ability to detect a vehicle
ahead is greatly reduced if the speed of the
vehicle ahead is very different to the speed of
your own car.
The camera unit is placed inside the upper
section of the windscreen together with the
car's radar unit.
If a scratch, crack or stone chip appears
on the windscreen in front of any of the
"windows" for the camera and radar unit
and covers an area of
•
Do not place, stick or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windscreen, in front of
or around the camera and radar unit – this
may interfere with camera and radar-based
functions. This may result functions being
reduced, being switched off completely or giv-
ing incorrect function responses.
approx. 0.5 × 3.0 mm (0.02 × 0.12 in.) or
more, a workshop132 must be contacted
so that the windscreen can be replaced.
Volvo recommends not repairing cracks,
scratches or stone chips in the area in
front of the camera and radar unit – the
entire windscreen should be replaced
instead.

High temperature
At very high temperatures the camera and
radar unit can temporarily be switched off for

vehicle that drives in between your car and
the vehicle ahead.
dust storms and snow flurries. Under such
conditions, the functions of camera-depend-
ent systems could be significantly reduced or
temporarily disengaged.
Limited field of vision
The radar unit has a limited field of vision. In
some situations another vehicle is not
detected, or the detection is made later than
expected.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles not driving in the centre of the
lane can remain undetected.
Strong oncoming light, reflections in the car-
riageway, snow or ice on the road surface,
dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markings
can also significantly reduce camera function
when it is used to scan the carriageway to
detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals and
other vehicles.
In bends, the radar unit may detect a dif-
ferent vehicle than intended or lose a
detected vehicle from view.
Low trailers
Low trailer in radar shadow
Low trailers can also be difficult for the radar
unit to detect, or are not detected at all - the
driver should therefore be particularly careful
when driving behind low trailers when the
adaptive cruise control* or Pilot Assist* is acti-
vated.
The radar unit's field of vision
Further limitations for camera
Sometimes the radar unit is late at detect-
ing vehicles at close distances - e.g. a

human eye, i.e. may "see" worse in for exam-

Because of this, the image may vary slightly in
brightness and quality. Poor light conditions
can result in reduced image quality.
Further limitations for Park assist
camera*
Recommended maintenance for
camera and radar unit
In order that the camera and radar units shall
function correctly, they must be kept clear of
dirt, ice and snow, and be cleaned regularly
with water and car shampoo.
Blind sectors
A bike carrier or other accessory mounted
on the rear of the car could obscure the
camera's view.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
may cause incorrect warning signals,
reduced or no function.

There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields
of vision.
Volvo Cars support site (p. 21)
In the park assist camera's 360° view* obsta-
cles/objects may "vanish" in the gaps
between the individual cameras.
WARNING
Pay attention to the possibility that, even if
it only looks like a relatively small part of
the image is obscured, a relatively large
sector could be hidden from view. An
obstacle could thereby go undetected until
the car is very close to it.

Symbols and messages for camera
and radar unit
Here are examples of some of the display
messages and symbols regarding the camera
and radar units that can be shown in the
driver display.
Detector blocked
If the driver display shows this sym-
bol and the message Windscreen
sensor Sensor blocked, see
Owner's manual, this means that
the camera and radar unit cannot detect other
vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large ani-
mals in front of the car, and that the car's
camera-based and radar-based functions may
be disrupted.
Cause
Action
The windscreen surface in front of the camera and radar unit is
dirty or covered with ice or snow.
Clean dirt, ice and snow from the windscreen surface in front of the camera
and radar unit.
Thick fog and heavy rain or snow block the radar signals or the
camera view.
No action. Sometimes the unit does not work during heavy rain or snowfall.
Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the
radar signals or camera view.
No action. Sometimes the unit does not work on a very wet or snow-covered
road surface.
Dirt has appeared between the inside of the windscreen and the
camera and radar unit.
Visit a workshop to have the windscreen inside the unit's cover cleaned - an
authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Strong oncoming light
No action. The camera unit is reset automatically in more favourable light con-
ditions.
