Volvo S90 2021-2023 DRIVER SUPPORT User Manual

DRIVER SUPPORT

Driving support systems

The car is equipped with different driver sup-port systems which can assist the driver in different situations, either actively or passively.

For example, the systems can help the driver to:

1. maintain a set speed
2. maintain a certain time interval to the vehicle ahead
3. prevent a collision by giving a warning to the driver and braking the car
4. help the driver to park.

Some of the systems are fitted as standard while others are options – which alternative applies is market dependent.

Speed-dependent steering force

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.

Reduced power
In rare situations, the power steering may need to work at reduced power, and turning the steering wheel may then seem slightly heavier. This may occur when the power steering becomes too hot and then needs temporary cooling. It may also occur if the power supply is disrupted.

In the event of reduced power, the message Power steering Assistance temporarily reduced is shown, as well as this symbol in the driver display.

While the power steering is working at reduced power, the driver support functions and steering assistance systems are not avail-able.

WARNING
If the temperature increases too much, the servo may be forced to switch off completely. In such a situation, the driver dis-play shows the Power steering failure Stop safely message, combined with a symbol.

Change the steering force level
Steering wheel resistance can be adjusted when using INDIVIDUAL drive mode.

1. Tap on Settings in the centre display’s top view.
2. Select My Car Drive Modes Steering Force.

Steering wheel resistance selection can only be accessed if the car is stationary or is moving at low speed and in a straight line.

Electronic stability control

Electronic Stability Control (ESC1) helps the driver to avoid skidding and improves the car’s traction.

The driver display shows this symbol when the system is engaged. Braking from the system may be heard as a pulsing sound, and the car may accelerate more slowly than expected when applying the throttle. The system consists of the following sub functions:

1. Stability function2
2. Spin control and traction control system
3. Engine Drag Control
4. Trailer stability assist

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sections 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.

• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, at an appropriate distance from other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Stability function2
The function checks the driving and brake force of the wheels individually in order to stabilize the car.

Spin control and traction control system
The function is active at low speed and brakes the drive wheels that spin so that additional traction shall be transferred to the drive wheels that are not spinning.
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 involuntary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or engine braking when driving in low gear on slippery road surfaces. Involuntary wheel locking while driving can, amongst other things, impair the driver’s ability to steer the car.

Trailer stability assist
Trailer stability assist (TSA5) stabilizes a car towing a trailer in situations where they begin snaking.

NOTE
Trailer Stability Assist is deactivated if ESC Sport Mode is activated.

Electronic Stability Control in sport mode

The stability system (ESC6) is always activated – it cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select ESC Sport Mode, which allows for a more active driving experience. With the ESC Sport Mode sub-function selected, intervention from the system is reduced and the car is allowed to skid more and greater control than normal is thus transferred to the driver. When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the function can be considered as deactivated, despite the function continuing to help the driver in many cases.

NOTE
With ESC Sport Mode selected, Trailer Stability Assist (TSA7) is deactivated.
ESC Sport Mode also provides more traction even if the car has become bogged down or is driving on a loose surface, such as in sand or deep snow.

Connected Safety10

Connected Safety communicates information between your own car and other vehicles via the Internet11. The function is intended to 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. Information about slippery driving conditions is also given if your own car detects slippery sur-faces.

Connected Safety can help the driver with the following:

1. Alarm on hazard warning flashers
2. Alarm on slippery driving conditions

Connected Safety communication between vehicles only works for vehicles equipped with the function and which have it activated.

The alarm on hazard warning flashers
If your own car’s hazard warning flashers are activated, information about this can be sent to vehicles approaching your own car’s position.
When your own car is approaching a vehicle with flashing hazard warning flashers, this symbol is shown on the driver display. In vehicles with head-up display, the warning symbols for Connected Safety are also shown there.

The alarm on slippery driving conditions
If your own car detects reduced friction between your tyres and the road, information on this can be sent to vehicles approaching your own car’s position. If an ice alert is triggered, this symbol is displayed on the Driver display when a vehicle approaches the slippery road section, both in your own car and in other vehicles that have received the information.

via Connected Safety.
In vehicles with head-up displays, the warning symbols for Connected Safety are also shown there.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.
• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

• Activating or deactivating Connected Safety

  For Connected Safety to be able to share information on road conditions with other vehicles, the function needs to be activated. The function can be deactivated if you do not want to share information.

  Activate or deactivate the function using this button in the centre display’s function view.

  • Illuminated button indication – the function is activated.
  • Extinguished button indication – the function is deactivated.

  When activated, special terms and conditions that appear on the display must be acknowledged by the driver before a connection to the Internet12 can be made. For example, a situation where the driver must accept data being sent from the car using his/her mobile phone. If there is no Internet connection, your own car will still inform you, the driver, that slippery driving conditions have been detected by your own car. For Connected Safety to work fully, your own car needs to be connected to the Internet.

  Limitations of Connected Safety
  Information about vehicles with activated hazard warning flashers or which have detected slippery driving conditions is not always communicated between all vehicles within the same area.

• This can be because for example:
  • Poor or no contact with the Internet.
  • Vehicles on slippery surfaces make manoeuvres that are too weak for friction between tyres and road surface to be detectable, e.g. steering wheel movement, acceleration or braking.
  • Vehicles that have detected slippery surfaces, or have activated their hazard warning flashers, do not have the function activated.
  • Vehicles that have detected slippery surfaces, or have activated their hazard warning flashers, are not equipped with the function.
  • There may be no warning due to missing or defective global positioning/satellite navigation.
  • Detection of slippery surfaces or activation of hazard warning flashers has taken place on a road which is missing from Volvo Cars database.
  • Connected Safety is not available in all markets and does not cover all areas – a retailer for Volvo has information on cur-rent areas.

   

• 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.

• Road Sign Information
  The Road Sign Information function (RSI13) can help the driver to observe speed-related road signs and certain prohibition signs.Examples of readable signs14.
  RSI can provide information about such things as current speed, when a motorway or road is starting/ending when overtaking is prohibited or when the direction of travel is one-way.
  If the car passes a speed limit sign, it will be shown on the driver’s display and the head-up display. Road sign information (RSI15) also includes sub-functions that can warn the driver if a speed limit has been exceeded or in connection with speed cameras.

  NOTE
  In certain markets, the Road Sign Information function is only available in combination with Senses Navigation.

  WARNING

  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.

• Display mode for road sign information

  The Road Sign Information function (RSI17) shows road signs in different ways depending on the sign and the situation.
  Example 18 of detected speed information.
  When the function detects a road sign with an imposed speed limit, the driver display shows the sign as a symbol combined with a coloured indication on the speedometer. If the car is fitted with Senses Navigation*, speed-related information is also obtained from map data, which means that the driver display can show or change information on the speed limit without having passed a speed-related sign.

  An additional sign, such as “no overtaking”, may be shown together with the speed limit symbol.
  If the driver enters a road marked with a no-entry sign at the roadside, the symbol for this sign flashes on and off on the driver’s display as a warning.

  If the car is equipped with Senses Navigation, information from map data is used to determine whether the car is being driven in the wrong direction. The driver can also get an acoustic warning when driving towards a road marked with a no-entry sign if the Road Sign Audio Warning function is activated.

  Speed limit or end of the motorway
  When the function detects an “indirect speed limit sign” stating the end of the current speed limit – e.g. at the end of a motorway – a symbol appears with the corresponding road sign in the driver’s display . If the car is equipped with Census Navigation*, direct speed limit signs are normally displayed – indirect speed limit signs are only displayed if map data has no information on the speed limit for the road section in question. Example of an indirect speed limit sign:

  End of all restrictions.

  End of the motorway.

  The driver display symbol extinguishes after 10-30 seconds and remains so until the next speed-related sign is passed.

  Changed speed limit
  When passing a direct speed limit sign when a speed limit changes, a symbol with the corresponding road sign appears in the driver’s display.

  Example of direct speed limit sign.

  The driver display symbol extinguishes after about 5 minutes until the next speed-related sign is passed. If the car is fitted with Census Navigation*, speed limit signs are shown in the driver display when map data contains information on the speed limit for the road section in question, even if no direct sign has been passed. If there is no information in the map data, the sign is extinguished approx. 3 minutes after the last passing of a speed limit sign.

  Additional signs

  Examples of additional signs.

Sometimes different speed limits are signed for the same road – an additional sign then indicates the circumstances under which the different speeds apply. The road section may be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain and/or fog, for example. An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use. If a trailer is connected to the car’s electrical system and you pass a speed sign with the additional sign “trailer”, the indicated speed will appear on the driver display.

Some speed limits only apply after a certain distance or at a certain time of day. The driver’s attention is drawn to this fact by means of a symbol for an additional sign below the speed symbol. The additional symbol in the driver display will show either “DIST” or “TIME”.

Sign for “School” and “Children at play”

If a warning sign for “School” or “Children at play” is included in the satellite navigator’s map data19, the driver display shows a sign of this type.

Road Sign Information and Senses Navigation

If the car is equipped with Senses Navigation*, speed information is read from the navigation unit in the following cases:

• On detection of signs that indirectly indicate a speed limit, such as a motorway, dual carriageway and city limit signs.
• If a previously detected speed sign is assumed not to apply any longer, but no new sign has been detected.

NOTE
In certain markets, the Road Sign Information function* is only available in combination with Senses Navigation.

NOTE
If a downloaded third-party app is used for navigation then there is no support for speed-related information.

Warning for speed limitation and speed camera from road sign information

Road sign information (RSI20) includes sub-functions that can warn the driver if a speed limit has been exceeded or in connection with speed cameras.

Examples of information on speed cameras and the speed limits in the driver display

Warning for speed limit

The speed warning is given by the driver display symbol21 showing the applicable maximum permitted speed temporarily flashing when this speed is exceeded. A speed warning is always given if the speed limit is exceeded in connection with speed camera information. Speed Limit Warning warns the driver when the applicable speed limit or stored maximum speed is exceeded – this warning is repeated once after approx. 30 seconds within the same speed limit area unless the driver reduces the speed. 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.

NOTE
To get an acoustic warning if you exceed the required speed, the Speed Limit Warning function must be activated and the Road Sign Audio Warning sub function must be set to On. An acoustic warning is then given if the car’s speed exceeds the speed indicated by the Road Sign Information function in the driver display.

Warning for speed camera
A car equipped with road sign information and Census Navigation can provide information on an upcoming speed camera in the driver display22.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 contains information on speed cameras.

NOTE
An option is available to receive an acoustic warning for speed cameras independently of the car’s speed and exceeded speed limit, even if the Road Sign Audio Warning function is deactivated.

Limitations of Road Sign Information

The Road Sign Information (RSI24) function may have limitations in certain situations.

Examples of what can reduce the function are as follows:

1. Faded signs
2. Signs positioned on bends
3. Rotated or damaged signs
4. Signs positioned high above the roadway
5. Fully/partially obscured or poorly positioned signs
6. Signs completely or partly covered with frost, snow and/or dirt
7. Digital road maps25 are out-of-date, inaccurate or have no speed information26.

NOTE
In certain markets, the Road Sign Information function* is only available in combination with Census Navigation.

NOTE
The RSI function may interpret some types of bicycle rack, connected to the electrical socket for trailers, as a connected trailer. In such cases, the driver display may show incorrect speed information.

NOTE
This function uses the car’s camera and radar units, which have certain general limitations.

Temporary deactivation of speed limiter

The speed limiter (SL30) can be temporarily deactivated and set in standby mode. The speed limiter can also be temporarily deactivated and overridden with the accelerator pedal without the speed limiter first having to be set in standby mode – e.g. to be able to quickly accelerate the car out of a situation.

In which case, proceed as follows:

1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and release it to interrupt acceleration when the desired speed has been reached.
   • In this mode, the speed limiter is still activated and the driver display’s symbol is therefore WHITE.
2. Fully release the accelerator pedal when the temporary acceleration is finished.
   • The car is then engine-braked automatically to below the last stored maximum speed.

Limitations for speed limiter

Speed limiter (SL31) has certain general limitations. On steep downhill gradients the speed limiter’s braking effect may be inadequate and hence the stored maximum speed may be exceeded. In this case, the driver is alerted by the message Speed limit exceeded in the driver display.

NOTE
A text message that the maximum speed is exceeded will be activated if the speed has been exceeded by at least 3 km/h (approx. 2 mph).

Speed limiter (p. 301)

Automatic speed limiter
The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL32) function helps the driver to adapt the car’s maxi-mum speed to the speed shown on the road signs. The Speed Limiter function (SL33) can be changed to Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL). The automatic speed limiter uses speed information from the Road Sign Information* (RSI34) function to automatically adapt the car’s maximum speed.

WARNING
Even if the driver clearly sees the speed-related road sign, the speed information from the Road Sign Information* (RSI) function to ASL may be incorrect – in such cases the driver must intervene him/herself and accelerate or brake to a suitable speed.

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions. The driver is advised to read all sections 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. Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Symbol for automatic speed limiter

The sign symbol (displayed along-side the stored speed, “70”, in the centre of the speedometer) can be shown in three colours with the following meanings:

Colour of sign symbol	Meaning
Greenish yel- low	The automatic speed limiter is active.
Grey	The automatic speed limiter is set in standby mode.
Orange	Automatic speed limiter is in temporary standby mode – e.g. due to a road sign not being read.

• GREEN button indication – the function is activated. Press the steering wheel button to start the automatic speed limiter with the current speed.
• GREY button indication – the function is deactivated. Normal speed limiter is activated instead.

NOTE
If the automatic speed limiter function is activated, road sign information (RSI37) is shown in the driver display even if the Road Sign Information is not activated.
To remove road sign information from the driver display, you must deactivate both the automatic speed limiter and Road Sign Information.
When the automatic speed limiter function is activated but Road Sign Information is deactivated, no warnings are given from Road Sign Information. Road Sign Information must also be activated in order to receive warnings.

Deactivating the automatic speed limiter

To deactivate the automatic speed limiter:
Tap on the button in the function view. > GREY button indication – ASL is switched off and SL is activated instead.

WARNING
After switching from ASL to SL the car will no longer follow the signed speed limit but only the stored maximum speed.

Changing the tolerance for the automatic speed limiter

The Automatic Speed Limiter function
(ASL38) can be set for different tolerance levels. The tolerance is adjusted in the same way as the speed setting is in the speed limiter. If, for example, the car follows a signed speed limit of 70km/h (43 mph) the driver can instead choose to allow the car to maintain 75 km/h (47 mph).

Limitations for automatic speed limiter

Automatic speed limitation (ASL39) takes place using speed information from the Road Sign Information function* (RSI40) – not from the speed limit road signs that the car passes. If road sign information cannot interpret and provide speed information to the driver sup-port systems, the automatic speed limiter is set in standby mode and changes to normal speed limiter. In such cases the driver must intervene and brake to a suitable speed. The automatic speed limiter will be reactivated when road sign information can once again interpret and provide speed information.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.
• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Using engine braking instead of the foot brake
With Cruise Control, speed is regulated with less frequent application of the foot brake. On a downhill gradient it may sometimes be desirable to start moving a little faster and limit the acceleration by engine braking. In this case the driver can temporarily disable foot brake application by Cruise Control.
To do so, proceed as follows:

• Depress the accelerator pedal about half-way down and release.
  • Cruise Control will disengage its automatic foot braking and then uses engine braking only.

A temporary increase in speed with the accelerator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the setting – the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Automatic standby mode

Activation of automatic standby mode can be due to one of the following:

1. The wheels are losing traction.
2. The engine speed is too low/high.
3. Brake temperature is too high.
4. Speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph).

The driver must then control the speed him-self/herself.

Adaptive cruise control*46

The adaptive cruise control (ACC47) can help the driver to maintain a constant speed, combined with a preset time interval to the vehicle ahead.

The camera and radar unit measures the distance to the vehicle ahead.

An adaptive cruise control can provide a more relaxing driving experience on long journeys on motorways and long straight main roads in smooth traffic flows.
The driver selects the desired speed and a time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the cam-era and radar unit detects a slower vehicle in front of the car, the speed is adapted automatically via the preset time interval to the vehicle.

When the road is clear again the car returns to the selected speed.
If the cornering support* function is activated, this may also affect the speed of the car.

The adaptive cruise control aims 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 vehicle in front brakes suddenly. Due to the limitations of the radar unit, braking may come unexpectedly or not at all.
Follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval set by the driver. If the radar unit cannot see any vehicle in front then the car will instead maintain the speed set and stored by the driver. This also takes place if the speed of the vehicle ahead increases and exceeds the stored speed.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.

• Limitations for adaptive cruise control*60

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC61) may have limitations in certain situations.

Steep roads and/or heavy load
Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving on level road surfaces. The function may have difficulty in keeping the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when driving on steep downhill slopes – in which case, be extra attentive and ready to brake.
Do not use adaptive cruise control if the car has a heavy load or a trailer is connected to the car.

Drive mode unavailable
Drive mode Off Road cannot be selected when the adaptive cruise control is activated.

WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsible and must intervene if the system does not detect a vehicle ahead.
The function does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for low trailers, oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and objects.
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.

NOTE
This function uses the car’s camera and radar units, which have certain general limitations.

Pilot Assist

Pilot Assist can help the driver to drive the car between the lane’s side markings as well as to maintain an even speed, combined with a preselected time interval to the vehicle ahead.

Get to know Pilot AssistThe camera and radar unit measures the distance to the vehicle ahead and detects side markings.

1. Camera and radar unit
2. Distance readers
3. Readers, side markings

Pilot Assist helps to control your car and you may need to drive a few kilo metres with Pilot Assist before you feel completely at home with the function. It is important to know about all of the function’s applications and limitations in order to safely use all of the advantages.
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. 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 adjustment whilst the steering assistance helps to position the car in the lane. If the cornering support* function is activated, this may also affect the speed of the car.
Pilot Assist regulates the speed with acceleration and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a low sound when they are being used to adjust the speed.

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 car in front brakes suddenly. Due to the limitations of the camera and radar unit, braking may come unexpectedly or not at all. follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval set by the driver. If the radar unit cannot see any vehicle in front then the car will instead maintain the speed set and stored by the driver. This also takes place if the speed of the vehicle ahead increases and exceeds the stored speed.

• 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. If Pilot Assist does not position the car in an appropriate way in the lane, it is recommended to turn Pilot Assist off or switch to adaptive cruise control*.

Steering assistance

The current status of steering assistance is indicated by the colour of the steering wheel’s symbol:

• The GREEN steering wheel indicates active steering assistance.
• A GREY steering wheel (as in the illustration) indicates deactivated steering assistance.

Pilot Assist steering assistance takes into account the speed of the preceding car and the lane markings. The driver can at any time ignore the Pilot Assist steering recommendation and steer in another direction, e.g. to change lanes or avoid an obstruction on the road. If Pilot Assist cannot interpret the lane unambiguously, e.g. if the camera and radar unit does not see the lane’s side markings, Pilot Assist temporarily deactivates steering assistance but resumes it if the lane can be interpreted again – although the speed and distance control functions remain active. The steering wheel vibrates slightly when deactivated temporarily in order to alert the driver to the change.

WARNING
Pilot Assist steering assistance is automatically deactivated and is resumed without prior warning.

Round bends and when the road splits
Pilot Assist interacts with the driver, who should therefore not wait for the steering assistance from Pilot Assist but should always be prepared to increase his/her own steering input, especially in bends. When the car approaches an exit or if the lane splits, the driver should steer towards the desired lane so that Pilot Assist can detect the desired direction.

Hands-on the steering wheel
In order for Pilot Assist to function, the driver’s hands must be on the steering wheel. It is also important for the driver always to carry on being active and alert when driving as Pilot Assist is unable to read all situations and the function may toggle between off and on without prior warning.

If Pilot Assist detects that the driver does not keep his/her hands on the steering wheel, the system gives a warning with a symbol and text mes-sage in the driver display in order to prompt the driver to actively steer the car. If the driver’s hands still cannot be detected on the steering wheel after a few seconds, the prompt to actively steer the car is repeated, supplemented by an acoustic signal. If Pilot Assist cannot detect the driver’s hands on the steering wheel after a further few seconds, the warning signal becomes intensive and the steering function is deactivated. Pilot Assist must then be restarted using the steering wheel button.

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions. The driver is advised to read all sections 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. Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Temporary disabling of steering assistance with Pilot Assist*75

Pilot Assist steering assistance can be temporarily 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. If Pilot Assist is unable to interpret the lane clearly, e.g. if the camera or radar unit is unable to see the side markings for the lane, Pilot Assist temporarily disables steering assistance – speed and distance regulation functions remain active. Steering assistance is resumed when the lane can be interpreted again. In these situations, slight vibration in the steering wheel may alert the driver to the fact that steering assistance has been deactivated temporarily.

Limitations of Pilot Assist*76

The Pilot Assist function may have 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 maintaining a safe distance to surrounding objects and a correct position in the lane.

WARNING
In certain situations, Pilot Assist steering assistance may have difficulty helping the driver in the right way or it may be automatically deactivated – in which case, the use of Pilot Assist is not recommended.

Examples of such situations may be that:

1. the lane markings are unclear, worn, missing, or they cross each other, or if there are several sets of lane markings.
2. the lane division is changed, e.g. when the lanes split or merge, as well as on slip roads.
3. at roadworks and sudden changes in the roadway, e.g. when the lines may stop marking the correct route.
4. edges or other lines than lane markings are present on or near the road, e.g. Krebs, joints or repairs to the road sur-face, edges of barriers, roadside edges or strong shadows.
5.  the lane is narrow or winding.
6. the lane contains ridges or holes.
7. weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain, snow or fog or slush or impaired view with poor light conditions, back-lighting, wet road surface etc.

The driver should also note that Pilot Assist has the following limitations:

1. High kerbs, roadside barriers, temporary obstacles (traffic cones, safety barriers, etc.) are not detected. Alternatively, 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.
2. The camera and radar sensor does not have the capacity to detect all oncoming objects and obstacles in traffic environments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstacles or objects which completely or partially block the route.
3. Pilot Assist does not “see” pedestrians, animals, etc.
4. The functions steering assist is force limited, which means that Pilot Assist cannot always help the driver to steer and keep the car within the lane.
5. In cars equipped with Sensus Navigation*, the function has the option of using information from map data, which may result in varied performance.
6. 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.

WARNING
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.

WARNING

• This is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsible and must intervene if the system does not detect a vehicle ahead.
• The function does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for low trailers, oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and objects.
• 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.

The driver always has the possibility of correcting or adjusting a steering intervention imposed by Pilot Assist and can turn the steering wheel to the desired position.

Steep roads and/or heavy load
Bear in mind that Pilot Assist is primarily intended for use when driving on level road surfaces. The function may have difficulty in keeping the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when driving on steep downhill slopes -in which case, be extra attentive and ready to brake. Do not use Pilot Assist if the car has a heavy load or a trailer is connected to the car.

NOTE
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is connected to the car’s electrical system.

Drive mode unavailable
Off Road drive mode cannot be selected when Pilot Assist is activated.

NOTE
This function uses the car’s camera and radar units, which have certain general limitations.

Cornering support*78

Curve Speed Assist can help the driver to reduce speed ahead of sharper bends if the preset speed for the driver support adaptive cruise control* or Pilot Assist* is estimated as being too high.

In connection with the function reducing the car’s speed, this symbol is shown in the driver display.

The calculation is made using information from map data in the car’s satellite navigator Sensus Navigation*. After the bend has been passed, the car resumes the previously preset speed. The driver can cancel the function at any time by choosing to brake or by using the accelerator pedal.

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions. The driver is advised to read all sections 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. Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

• Drive modes
  Assistance during cornering depends on the drive mode set. If the drive mode options are unavailable, the function selects the Comfort option. Using the Dynamic option, the car negotiates bends with sporty characteristics and with slightly more powerful acceleration out of the bends.

Limitations for cornering support*80

The cornering support function may have limitations in certain situations. A driver should be aware about the following examples of limitations.

• Cornering support may have limited performance on smaller roads and in built-up areas. On slip roads or intersections, the cornering support may be switched off temporarily.
• If the satellite navigator81 map data is not updated, cornering support may have limited functionality.
• If the satellite navigator81 does not have contact with the satellite system, cornering support may have limited functionality.
• On new or rebuilt roads, map data may be incorrect.
• When calculating a suitable cornering speed, any risk of reduced traction due to adverse weather or road conditions is not included.

NOTE
This function uses the car’s camera and radar units, which have certain general limitations.

Overtaking Assistance*

Overtaking Assistance can help the driver when overtaking other vehicles. The function can be used with adaptive cruise control* or Pilot Assist*. When adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist is following another vehicle and the driver indicates the intention to overtake by activating the direction indicator82, the systems help by accelerating the vehicle towards the vehicle ahead before the driver’s vehicle reaches the overtaking lane. The function then delays reducing speed in order to avoid premature braking when the driver’s car is approaching a slower vehicle. The function remains active until the driver’s vehicle has cleared the overtaken vehicle

WARNING
Be aware that this function can be activated in more situations than during over-taking, e.g. when a direction indicator is used to indicate a change of lane or exit to another road – the car will then accelerate briefly.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.
• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Use Overtaking Assistance

Overtaking assistance can be used with adaptive cruise control* or Pilot Assist*. There are a number of criteria if Overtaking Assistance is to be used.

The following conditions must exist for Over-taking Assistance to be activated:

• there must be a vehicle in front (the “target vehicle”)
• your car’s current speed is
• at least 70 km/h (43 mph) the stored speed must be high enough for overtaking to take place safely.

To start the Overtaking Assistance:

Activate the direction indicator.
Use the left-hand direction indicator in a left-hand drive car and right in a right-hand drive car.
> Overtaking Assistance is started.

WARNING
When using the Overtaking Assistance System, the driver should be aware that there may be undesired acceleration if the conditions suddenly change.

Some situations should therefore be avoided, such as if:

• the car is approaching an exit to turn-off in the same direction as overtaking would normally occur.
  • the vehicle ahead slows down before the driver’s car has crossed over into the overtaking lane.
  • the traffic in the overtaking lane slows down.
  • a right-hand drive car is driven in a county with left-hand traffic (or vice versa).

Situations of this kind can be avoided by temporarily setting adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist in standby mode.

Warning from driver support in the event of a collision risk

The driver support systems of adaptive cruise control* and Pilot Assist* can warn the driver if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly becomes too short.Audio and symbol for collision warning

1. Acoustic signal in the event of a risk of collision
2. Warning signal in the event of a risk of collision
3. Distance measurement with the camera and radar unit .

Adaptive cruise control and Pilot Assist use approx. 40% of the capacity of the foot brake. If the car needs to be braked more heavily than the driver support is capable of and the driver does not brake, the warning lamp and acoustic warning are activated to alert the driver that immediate intervention is required.

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.

Symbol for collision warning on the windscreen In cars equipped with a head up display*, the warning is shown on the windscreen by a flashing symbol.

NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not looking straight ahead may make the visual warning signal in the wind-screen difficult to recognise.

5. Head-up display* (p. 140)

Change of target with driver support

The driver supports of adaptive cruise control* and Pilot Assist*, in combination with automatic transmission, have a change of tar-get function at certain speeds.
Change of target

If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front. When the driver supports are following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h (20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle – the driver supports will slow down for the stationary vehicle.

WARNING
When the driver supports are following another vehicle at speeds in excess of approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the driver supports will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead accelerate to the stored speed.

• The driver must then intervene him/herself and brake.
  Automatic standby mode with the change of target

The driver supports are disengaged and set in standby mode:
when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and the driver supports are uncertain whether the target object is a stationary vehicle or another object, such as a speed bump.
when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns off so that the driver supports no longer have a vehicle to follow.

Set the stored speed for driver support

It is possible to set stored speed for the speed limiter, cruise control, adaptive cruise control* and Pilot Assist* functions.

• Increases the stored speed
• Reduces stored speed
• Stored speed
• Change a set speed with short presses on the steering wheel buttons (1) or by pressing and holding them. The speed set after the last button press is stored in the memory.

Effect of the accelerator pedal
If the driver increases the car’s speed using the accelerator pedal before pressing the steering wheel button (1), the speed stored will be the car’s speed when the button is depressed, provided the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal at the moment when the button is depressed. A temporary increase in speed with the accelerator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the setting – the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Possible speed
Automatic gearbox
The driver support functions can follow another vehicle at speeds from 0 km/h up to 200 km/h (125 mph).Pilot Assist can give steering assistance from almost stationary up to 140 km/h (87 mph). Note that the lowest programmable speed is 30 km/h (20 mph) – even though it is capable of following another vehicle down to 0 km/h, a speed lower than 30 km/h (20 mph) cannot be selected/stored.

Manual gearbox
the driver support functions can follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h
(20 mph) up to 200 km/h (125 mph). Pilot Assist can give steering assistance from 30 km/h (20 mph) up to 140 km/h (87 mph). The lowest programmable speed is 30 km/h (20 mph) – the maximum speed is 200 km/h (125 mph).

Set time interval to vehicle ahead

It is possible to set the time interval to the vehicle ahead to be maintained by the adaptive cruise control*, Pilot Assist* and Distance Warning* functions.

Different time intervals to the vehicle in front can be selected and shown in the driver display as 1-5 horizontal lines – the more lines the longer the time interval. One line represents about 1 second to the vehicle in front, and 5 lines represent about 3 seconds.

NOTE
When the symbol in the driver display shows a car and a steering wheel, Pilot Assist follows a vehicle in front at a preset time gap. When only one steering wheel is shown, there is no vehicle within a reasonable distance ahead.

NOTE
When the symbol in the driver display shows two cars, adaptive cruise control is following the vehicle in front at a pre-set time interval. When only one car is shown, there is no vehicle within a reasonable distance ahead.Control for time intervals:

1. Decrease time interval
2. Increase time interval
3. Distance indicator
4. Press the steering wheel button (1) or (2) to increase or decrease the time interval.
   > The distance indicator (3) shows the current time interval.

The adaptive cruise control allows the time interval to vary significantly in certain situations in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle in front smoothly and comfortably. At low speed, when the distances are short, the adaptive cruise control increases the time interval slightly.

NOTE
The higher the speed the longer the calculated distance in metres for a given time interval.
Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations.
If the driver supports do not seem to respond with a speed increase when activated, it may be because the time window to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the set time window.

WARNING
Only use a time window that suits the current traffic conditions.
The driver should be aware that short time windows limit the amount of time available to react and take action in an unexpected traffic situation.

Drive modes when using time interval to vehicles

The driver can select different driving styles for how driver support should maintain the preset time interval to the vehicle ahead. Selection is made via the drive mode control DRIVE MODE.

Select one of the following options:

1. Pure – The driver support focuses on good fuel economy, which means longer time interval to the vehicle ahead.
2. Hybrid – The driver support focuses on following the set time interval to the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible.
3. Power – The driver support focuses on following the set time interval to the vehicle ahead more closely, which in certain cases may mean heavier acceleration and braking.

WARNING
A significant increase in speed may follow when the  speed is resumed with the steering wheel button.

WARNING
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.

NOTE
The driver supports can hold the car stationary for a maximum of 5 minutes – then the parking brake is applied and the function is disengaged. Before the driver supports can be reactivated, the parking brake must be released.

Cessation of automatic braking
In some situations, automatic braking ceases on coming to a standstill and the function is set in standby mode. This means that the brakes are released and the car may start to roll – the driver must therefore intervene and brake the car himself/herself to keep it stationary.

This may take place in any of the following situations:

1. The driver puts his/her foot on the brake pedal.
2. The parking brake is applied.
3. The gear selector is moved to P, N, or R position.
4. The driver sets the adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist to standby mode.

Automatic activation of parking brake

The Parking brake is applied if the function is holding the car stationary with the foot brake and:

1. The driver opens the door or takes off his/her seatbelt.
2. The function has kept the car stationary for more than approx. 5 minutes.
3. The brakes have overheated.
   The driver switches the engine off.

Lane assistance

The function of the Lane Keeping Aid (LKA83) is to help the driver to reduce the risk of the car accidentally leaving its own lane on motorways and similar major routes. Lane Keeping Aid steers the car back into its lane and/or alerts the driver with vibrations in the steering wheel. Lane Keeping Aid is active within the speed range 65–200 km/h (40–125 mph) on roads with clearly visible side lines. On narrow roads the function may be unavailable, in which case it goes into standby mode. The function becomes available again when the road is wide enough.

A camera reads the side lines of the road/lane.

Lane assistance steers the car back into its lane.

Lane assistance warns with steering wheel vibrations. Depending on settings, lane assistance acts in accordance with the following:

• Assist activated: When the car is approaching a lane line, the function will actively steer the car back into its lane by applying a slight torque to the steering wheel.

Warning
activated: If the car is about to cross a lane line, the driver is warned by means of vibrations in the steering wheel. There is also an option where both steering assistance and warning are activated simultaneously.

NOTE
When a direction indicator flasher is switched on, there are no steering corrections or alerts from lane assistance.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.
• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Lane assistance does not intervene

Lane assistance does not engage on sharp inside curves. In some situations, lane assistance allows lane lines to be crossed without intervening with either steering assistance or a warning – e.g. when using the direction indicators or if the car is allowed to cut the corners in bends.

Hands on the steering wheel
For steering assistance with lane assistance to work, the driver must have his/her hands on the steering wheel, which the system will continue to monitor.

If the driver does not keep his/her hands on the steering wheel, a warning signal is heard and a message encourages the driver to steer the car actively:

Lane Keeping Aid Apply steering
If the driver follows the prompt to start steering, the function is set in standby mode and this message is shown:

Lane Keeping Aid Standby until steering applied
The function will then be unavailable until the driver starts to steer the car again.

City Safety™

City Safety89 can use lights, sound and a brake pulse warning to alert the driver to pedestrians, cyclists, larger animals and vehicles.

Function overview

Function overview

1. Acoustic signal in the event of a risk of collision
2. Warning signal in the event of a risk of collision
3. Distance measurement with the camera and radar unit

The function can help the driver avoid a collision when, for example, driving in heavy traffic, where changes in the traffic ahead coupled with inattentiveness can lead to an incident. City Safety then activates brief, heavy braking and the car normally stops just behind the vehicle in front.
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 activated 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. The driver or passengers are not normally aware of City Safety – it only intervenes in a situation where a collision is immediately imminent.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.
• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Subfunctions for City Safety

City Safety90 can help to prevent a collision or reduce the collision speed. The function consists of several subfunctions.

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.

Vehicles
For a vehicle in front, City Safety can reduce the speed by up to 60 km/h (37 mph).

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). The brake function for large animals is primarily intended to reduce the force of the impact at higher speeds and is most effective at speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph) but less effective at lower speed.

The steps of City Safety
City Safety carries out three steps in the following order:

1. Collision warning
2. Brake support
3. Auto Brake

Collision warning
The driver is first warned of a potentially imminent collision. In cars equipped with a head up display*, the warning is shown on the windscreen by a flashing symbol.

Symbol for collision warning on the windscreen

NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not looking straight ahead may make the visual warning signal in the wind-screen difficult to recognise. 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. In the event of a risk of collision with a pedestrian, 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 frequency varies according to the car’s speed.

Brake support
If the risk of collision has increased further after the collision warning then the brake sup-port is activated.
Brake support reinforces the driver’s braking action if the system considers that the braking is not sufficient to avoid a collision.

 Auto Brake
The automatic brake function is activated last. 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 function 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. The seatbelt tensioner can be activated in connection with the engagement of the automatic brake function. In some situations, the action of Auto-brake may begin with light braking and then pro-grass to full brake action. When City Safety has prevented a collision with a stationary object, the car remains stationary in anticipation of positive action by the driver. If the car has been braked to avoid collision with a slower vehicle in front, its speed is reduced to match that of the vehicle in front.

NOTE
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. The driver can always interrupt a braking intervention by firmly depressing the accelerator pedal.

NOTE
When City Safety brakes, the brake lights come on.
When City Safety is activated and brakes the vehicle, the driver display shows a text message to the effect that the function is/has been active.

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.

Setting the warning distance for City Safety

City Safety91 is always activated, but the driver can select the warning distance for the function.

NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deactivated. It is activated automatically when the engine/electric operation is started and remains switched on until the engine/electric operation is switched off. The warning distance determines the sensitivity of the system and regulates the distance at which a visual, acoustic and brake pulse warning should be deployed.

To select warning distance:

1. Select Settings My Car IntelliSafe in the centre display’s top view.
2. Under City Safety Warning, select either Late, Normal or Early to set the desired warning distance.

If the Early setting produces too many warnings, which could be perceived as irritating in certain situations, the Normal or Late warning distance can be selected. When warnings are perceived as being too frequent or disturbing, the warning distance can be reduced, which reduces the total number of warnings and instead leads to City Safety giving a warning at a later stage. The Late warning distance should therefore only be used in exceptional cases, as in dynamic driving.

WARNING
No automatic system can guarantee 100% correct function in all situations. Therefore, never test City Safety by driving at people, animals or vehicles -this may cause severe damage and injury and risk lives.
City Safety warns the driver when there is a risk of a collision, but it can-not shorten the driver’s reaction time.

• Even if the warning distance has been set to Early warnings could be perceived as being late in certain situations, e.g. when there are large differences in speed or if vehicles ahead suddenly brake heavily.
• With the warning distance set at Early, the warnings will come more in advance. This may mean that the warnings come more frequently than at the warning distance Normal, but it is recommended since it can make City Safety more effective.

Detection of obstacles with City Safety

City Safety92 can help the driver to detect vehicles, cyclists, large animals and pedestrians.

Vehicles
City Safety detect most vehicles that are stationary or moving in the same direction as the driver’s own car. This function can also detect oncoming vehicles and cross-traffic in certain cases. In order that City Safety shall be able to detect a vehicle in the dark, the vehicle’s front and rear lights must be working and clearly illuminated.

Cyclists

Examples of what City Safety interprets as a cyclist— with clear body outline and bicycle outline. Good performance requires that the system function that detects a cyclist must receive the clearest possible information about the body and bicycle outline, requiring the ability to identify the bicycle, head, arms, shoulders, legs, upper and lower body plus a normal human pattern of movement. If large parts of the cyclist’s body or bicycle are not visible to the function’s camera then the system cannot detect a cyclist. For the function to be able to detect a cyclist, he/she must be an adult and riding a bicycle designed for adults.

WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support, but it cannot detect all cyclists in all situations and, for example, cannot see:

1. partially obscured cyclists.
2. cyclists if the background contrast for the cyclists is poor.
3. cyclists wearing clothing that obscures the body outline.
4. bicycles loaded with large objects.

Warnings and brake interventions could be late or not occur at all. The driver is always responsible that the vehicle is driven correctly and with a safety distance adapted to the speed.

Pedestrians

Examples of what the system regards as pedestrians with clear body outlines. Good performance requires that the system function that detects a pedestrian must receive the clearest possible information about the body outline, requiring the ability to identify the head, arms, shoulders, legs, upper and lower body plus a normal human pattern of movement. In order that it shall be possible to detect a pedestrian there must be a contrast with the background and this will be affected by such things as clothes, the background and the weather. With poor contrast the pedestrian may either be detected late or not at all, which may mean that warnings and braking are late or omitted. City Safety can also detect pedestrians in the dark if they are illuminated by the car’s head-lamps.

WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup-port, but it cannot detect all pedestrians in all situations and, for example, cannot see:

• partially obscured pedestrians, people in clothing that hides their body contour or pedestrians shorter than 80 cm (32 in.).
• pedestrians if the background contrast for the pedestrians is poor.
• pedestrians who are carrying larger objects.

Warnings and brake interventions could be late or not occur at all. The driver is always responsible that the vehicle is driven correctly and with a safety distance adapted to the speed.

Large animals

Examples of what City Safety interprets as large animals – standing still or walking slowly and with clear body outline. Good performance requires that the system function that detects a large animal (e.g. elk and horse) must receive the clearest possible information about the body outline, requiring the ability to identify the animal directly from the side in combination with what is a normal pattern of movement for the animal. If parts of the animal’s body are not visible to the function’s camera then the system cannot detect the animal. City Safety can also detect large animals in the dark if they are illuminated by the car’s head-lamps.

WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup-port, but it cannot detect all large animals in all situations and, for example, cannot see:

1. partially obscured large animals.
2. larger animals seen from the front or from behind.
3. large animals that run or move quickly.
4. large animals if the background contrast for the animals is poor.
5. small animals such as dogs and cats, for example.

Warnings and brake interventions could be late or not occur at all. The driver is always responsible that the vehicle is driven correctly and with a safety distance adapted to the speed.

City Safety in cross traffic

City Safety93 can help the driver when turning and crossing the path of another oncoming vehicle at an intersection.

Sector in which City Safety can detect oncoming crossing vehicles. For City Safety to detect an oncoming vehicle on a collision course, the oncoming vehicle must first enter the sector in which City Safety can analyze the situation.

The following further criteria must also be fulfilled:

1. your car must be travelling at no less than 4 km/h (3 mph)
2. your car must turn to the left in markets with right-hand traffic (or to the right in left-hand traffic)
3. the oncoming vehicle must have its head-lamps switched on.

Limitations for City Safety in cross traffic

In some cases City Safety may have difficulty helping the driver deal with collision risks due to oncoming cross traffic.Examples are:

1. Stability control ESC intervenes in the event of slippery driving conditions.
2. If the oncoming vehicle is detected too late.
3. If the oncoming vehicle is obscured by something.
4. If the oncoming vehicle has headlamps switched off.
5. If the oncoming vehicle drives in an unpredictable manner, for example, abruptly changes lanes at a late stage.

NOTE
This function uses the car’s camera and radar units, which have certain general limitations.

Related information

2. Limitations of City Safety (p. 358)
3. Limitations for camera and radar unit (p. 415)

Limitations of City Safety

The City Safety95 function may have limitations in certain situations.

Surroundings

Low objects
Low-hanging objects, e.g. a flag/pennant for projecting load, or accessories such as auxiliary lamps and bull bars that are higher than the bonnet limit the function.

Skidding
On slippery road surfaces the braking distance is extended, which may reduce the capacity of City Safety to avoid a collision. In such situations, the anti-lock brakes and the stability control ESC96 are designed to give the best possible braking force with maintained stability.

Oncoming light
The visual warning signal in the windscreen may be difficult to notice in the event of strong sunlight, reflections, when sunglasses are being worn or if the driver is not looking straight ahead.

Heat
In the event of high passenger compartment temperature, caused by e.g. strong sunlight, the visual warning signal in the windscreen may be temporarily disengaged.

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. Dirty vehicles may be detected later than others and if it is dark, motorcycles may be detected late or not at all. If a text message in the driver display indicates that the camera or radar unit is obstructed, City Safety may be unable to detect pedestrians, large animals, cyclists, vehicles or road lines ahead of the car. This means that the functionality of City Safety may be reduced. 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 the windscreen in front of the camera and radar unit clear.

IMPORTANT
Maintenance of driver support components must only be performed at a workshop –an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Driver intervention

Reversing
When your own car is reversing, City Safety is temporarily deactivated.

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.

Active driver
Driver commands are always prioritized, 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. Active and aware driving behavior can there-fore delay a collision warning and intervention in order to minimize unnecessary warnings.

WARNING
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.
Never wait for a warning or intervention. Apply the brakes when the situation requires.

• WARNING
  Warnings and brake interventions could be implemented late or not at all if a traffic situation or external influences mean that the camera and radar unit cannot detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals or vehicles correctly.
• For vehicles to be detected at night, their headlamps and rear lamp cluster must be switched on and shining clearly.
• The camera and radar unit has a limited range for pedestrians and cyclists. The system can provide effective warnings and brake interventions as long as the relative speed is below 50 km/h
  (30 mph). For stationary or slow-moving vehicles, warnings and brake interventions are effective at vehicle speeds up to 70 km/h (43 mph). Speed reduction for large animals is less than 15 km/h (9 mph) and can be achieved at vehicle speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph). The warning and brake intervention for large animals is less effective at lower speeds. Warnings for stationary or slow-moving vehicles as well as large animals may be disengaged due to darkness or poor visibility may be disengaged due to darkness or poor visibility.
• Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated at vehicle speeds exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph). Do not place, stick or mount anything on the outside or inside of the windscreen in front of or around the camera and radar unit — this can interfere with camera-dependent functions. Objects, snow, ice or dirt in the area of the camera sensor may reduce its functionality, fully deactivate it or give an incorrect function response.

WARNING
The City Safety auto-brake function can prevent a collision or reduce collision speed, but to ensure full brake performance the driver should always depress the brake pedal – even when the car auto-brakes. The warning and steering assistance are only activated if there is a high risk of collision – you must therefore never wait for a collision warning or for City Safety to intervene.

• The warning and brake intervention for pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated at vehicle speeds exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph).
• City Safety does not activate any auto-brake functions in the event of heavy acceleration.

NOTE
This function uses the car’s camera and radar units, which have certain general limitations.

Market limitation
City Safety is not available in all countries. If City Safety does not appear in the centre display’s Settings menu, the car is not equipped with this function.

Steering assistance at risk of collision

The function of Collision avoidance can help the driver reduce the risk of the car leaving its lane unintentionally and/or colliding with another vehicle or obstacle by actively steering the car back into its lane and/or swerving. The function consists of these sub-functions:

1. Steering assistance upon risk of run-off
2. Steering assistance upon risk of head-on collision
3. Steering assistance upon risk of rear-end collision

After automatic engagement, the driver dis-play indicates that this has occurred via a text message:

Collision avoidance Automatic intervention

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sections 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.
Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

NOTE
It is always the driver who decides how much the car should steer – the car can never take command.

Steering assistance upon risk of run-off

Steering assistance has a number of subfunctions. Steering assistance in the event of run-off risk can help the driver and reduce the risk of the car accidentally leaving the road by actively steering the car back onto the road.

The function has two activation levels on intervention:

• Steering assistance only
• Steering assistance with brake intervention

Steering assistance only

Intervention with steering assistance

Steering assistance with brake intervention

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. 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 intervention is not enough to avoid run-off, the brakes are also activated. However, the function does not intervene with either steering assistance or brake intervention if the direction indicators are used. And if the function detects that the driver is actively driving the car, activation of the function will be delayed.

Related information

• Steering assistance at risk of collision (p. 362)
  Limitations for steering assistance at risk of collision (p. 366)

Steering assistance upon risk of head-on collision

Steering assistance has a number of sub functions. Steering assistance upon risk of head-on collision can help a distracted driver who does not notice that the car is heading into the opposite lane.

The function can assist by guiding the car back to its own lane.

• Oncoming vehicles Your car
• At the same time as steering intervention is activated, collision warning for driver support is also activated. However, the brake pulse included in the collision warning will not be activated. The function is active within the speed range 60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearly visible lane markings/lines. 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. However, the function does not intervene with steering assistance if the direction indicator is used. And if the function detects that the driver is actively driving the car, activation of the function will be delayed.

Steering assistance upon risk of rear-end collision

Steering assistance has a number of sub functions. Steering assistance if there is a risk of rear-end collision can help a distracted driver 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 assist by steering the car back to its own lane.

1. Other vehicles in the blind spot
2. Your car

If the car is about to leave its own lane while another vehicle is in the blind spot, or another vehicle is approaching rapidly in an adjacent lane at the same time, the function can help the driver to steer the car back into its own lane. The function can even assist if the driver intentionally changes lanes using direction indicators without noticing that another vehicle is approaching. The function is active within the speed range 60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearly visible lane markings/lines. The lamps in the door mirrors flash during steering intervention, regardless of whether the BLIS98 function is activated. An acoustic signal can also be heard.

Limitations for steering assistance at risk of collision

In certain situations the function may have limited functionality and fail to intervene in the following cases, for example:

1. for small vehicles, such as motorcycles
2. if the majority of the car has steered into the adjacent lane
3. on roads/in lanes with unclear or non-exis-tent lane markings
4. outside the speed range 60-140 km/h (37-87 mph)
5. as the steering servo for speed-dependent steering wheel resistance is working at reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to overheating.

Other demanding situations can include:

1. road works
2. winter road conditions
3. narrow roads
4. poor road surface
5. a very “sporty” driving style
6. poor weather with reduced visibility.

Rear Collision Warning 99

The Rear Collision Warning100 (RCW) function can help the driver to avoid being hit by a vehicle approaching from behind. Drivers in vehicles behind can be warned about an imminent collision by the function flashing intensively with the direction indicators. If, at a speed below 30 km/h (20 mph), the function detects that the car is in danger of being hit from behind, the seatbelt tensioners may tension the front seatbelts. The Whiplash Protection System is also activated in the event of a collision. Immediately before a collision from behind, this function may also activate the foot brake in order to reduce the forward acceleration of the car during the collision. However, the foot brake is only activated if the car is stationary. The foot brake releases immediately if the accelerator pedal is depressed. This function is activated automatically each time the engine is started.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.
• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement.

BLIS

The BLIS102 function is intended to help the driver detect vehicles diagonally behind and to the side of the car so as to provide assistance in heavy traffic on roads with several lanes in the same direction.

Location of BLIS lamp

BLIS is a driver aid intended to give a warning of:

• vehicles in the car’s blind spot
• quickly approaching vehicles in the left and right lanes closest to the car.

Principle of BLIS

1. Zone in blind spot
2. Zone for quickly approaching vehicle

The system is designed to react when:
your car is overtaken by other vehicles another vehicle is quickly approaching your car. When BLIS detects a vehicle in Zone 1 or a quickly approaching vehicle in Zone 2, the indicator lamp on the door mirror on the affected side illuminates with a constant glow. If the driver activates the direction indicator on the same side as the warning, the indicator lamp will change over from a constant glow to flashing with a more intense light. BLIS is active when the driver’s vehicle is travelling at a speed above 10 km/h (6 mph). If passing vehicles drive more than 15 km/h (9 mph) faster than the driver’s vehicle, BLIS will not react.

NOTE
The lamp illuminates on the side of the car where the system has detected the vehicle. If the car is overtaken on both sides at the same time then both lamps illuminate.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.

Driver Alert Control

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.
The objective for the function is to detect slowly deteriorating driving ability and it is primarily intended for major roads. The function is not intended for city traffic. 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 driving behavior becomes noticeably inconsistent, the driver is alerted by this symbol in the driver display, combined with an acoustic signal and the text message Time to take a break.
If the car is equipped with Census 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 behavior has not improved.

WARNING
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.

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. If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:

• Stop the car safely as soon as possible and rest.
• Studies have shown that it is just as dangerous to drive while tired as it is to drive under the influence of alcohol or other stimulants.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.
• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Limitations of Driver Alert Control

The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function may have limitations in certain situations. In some cases the system may issue a warning despite driving ability not deteriorating, for example:

• in strong side winds
• on rutted road surfaces.

WARNING
In some cases, driving behavior is not affected despite driver fatigue – e.g. when using the Pilot Assist* function – resulting in the driver not getting a warning from DAC. It is therefore important to always stop and take a break at the slightest feeling of fatigue, regardless of whether the function has given a warning.

NOTE
This function uses the car’s camera and radar units, which have certain general limitations.

Distance Warning*107

The Distance Warning function can assist the driver to notice that the time interval to the vehicle ahead may be too short. This requires the car to be equipped with a head-up display* to be able to display Distance Warning.

Distance Warning symbol on the windscreen with head-up display. In cars equipped with head-up display, a symbol is shown on the windscreen for as long as the time interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset value. However, this assumes that the Show Driver Support function is activated via the settings in the car’s menu system. Distance warning is active at speeds above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts to the vehicle ahead travelling in the same direction. No distance information is provided for oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles.

NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not looking straight ahead may make the visual warning signal in the wind-screen difficult to recognize.

NOTE
Distance warning is deactivated during the time the adaptive cruise control* or Pilot Assist* is active.

WARNING
Distance warning only reacts if the time window to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset value – the speed of the driver’s vehicle is not affected.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.
• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Cross Traffic Alert*110

Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a driver support that supplements BLIS111 and is designed to help the driver detect traffic crossing behind the car when it is reversing. The auto-brake sub function can help the driver to stop the car in the event of a risk of collision with an unobserved vehicle.

Examples of areas where Cross Traffic Alert can assist the driver to detect obstacles during reversing. The function is primarily designed to detect vehicles. In favorable conditions it may also be able to detect smaller objects, such as cyclists and pedestrians. The function is only active if the car rolls back-wards or if reverse gear has been selected.

If the function senses that something is approaching from the side, this is indicated with:

• an acoustic signal – the sound is heard in the left-hand or right-hand speaker according to the direction from which the object approaches.
• an illuminated icon in the Park Assist System graphic on the screen.
• an icon on the Park assist camera top view.

Illuminated icon for Cross Traffic Alert in the Park Assist System graphic on the screen. If the driver does not observe the warning from the function and a collision is unavoidable, the auto-brake function engages in order to stop the car, after which the driver display shows an explanatory text message on why the car was braked.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.
• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement.

Limitations of Cross Traffic Alert*113

The Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) function with auto-brake may have limited functionality in certain situations. Brake intervention is active at speeds below 15 km/h.

WARNING
The auto-brake sub function can only detect and brake for other vehicles that are moving – not for stationary obstacles, a cyclist or a pedestrian, for example.

The function has a certain limitation – the sensors cannot “see” through other parked vehicles or obstructions, for example. Here are some examples of situations where the function’s “field of vision” may be already limited and approaching vehicles cannot therefore be detected until they are very close:The car is parked deep inside a parking slot.

In an angled parking slot Cross Traffic Alert may be completely “blind” on one side.

• Blind sector
• Sector in which the function can detect/”see”.
• However, as your car slowly reverses, the angle it makes with the obstructing vehicle/object changes and the blind sector rapidly decreases.
• Examples of further limitations
• The auto-brake sub function only detects moving vehicles and therefore cannot
  “see” and brake for stationary obstacles, a cyclist or a pedestrian, for example.
• Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may reduce the functions and deactivate alerts.
• CTA is automatically deactivated if a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is connected to the car’s electrical system.
• For good performance of CTA, there should be no bicycle rack, luggage carrier or similar mounted on the car’s tow bar.

NOTE
This function uses the car’s radar units, which have certain general limitations.

Park Assist
The Parking Assistance System (PAS115) uses sensors to assist the driver when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicating the distance to obstacles through acoustic signals combined with a graphic in the centre dis-play.

Screen view showing obstacle zones and sensor sec-tors. The centre display shows an overview of the relationship between the car and detected obstacles. The highlighted sector indicates the location of the obstacle. The closer the car symbol is to a highlighted sector box at the front/back, the shorter the distance between the car and detected obstacle.

The side sectors change color as the distance between the car and an object is reduced. The shorter the distance to the obstacle, the faster the signal sounds. Other sound from the audio system is muted automatically. The acoustic signal for obstacles ahead and to the sides is active when the car is moving but stops after the car has been stationary for approx. 2 seconds. The acoustic signal for obstacles behind is also active when the car is stationary. At a distance within approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from an obstacle behind or in front of the car, the tone is constant and the active sensor field closest to the car symbol is filled. At a distance within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from an obstacle To the sides, the tone pulses intensively and the active sector field changes color from ORANGE to RED.
The volume of the parking assistance signal can be adjusted while the signal is sounding by means of the [>II] knob on the centre con-sole. Adjustment can also be performed in the top view’s Settings menu option.

NOTE
Except in the sector nearest to the car symbol, audible warnings are only given for objects directly in the path of the car.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.

Park Assist Pilot front, rear and along the sides

Parking Assistance System (PAS116) has different behaviour depending on which part of the car is approaching an obstacle.

Forwards

The warning signal has a constant tone at less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from an obstacle.

The Parking Assistance System’s front detectors are activated automatically when the engine is started. They are active at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph). The measuring range is approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft) in front of the car.

NOTE
Parking assistance is deactivated when the parking brake is used or P mode is selected in a car with an automatic gear-box

IMPORTANT.
When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Remember that these must not obscure the sensors -the auxiliary lamps may then be perceived as an obstacle.

Backwards

The warning signal has a constant tone at less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from an obstacle.

Along the side

The sensors for reverse are activated if the car rolls backward without a gear engaged or when the gear lever is moved to reverse position. The measuring range is approx. 1.5 metres (5 ft) behind the car. When reversing with a trailer connected to the car’s electrical system, parking assistance backward is deactivated automatically.

NOTE
The warning signal pulses intensively at less than approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from an obstacle. Parking assistance side sensors are activated automatically when the engine is started. They are active at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph). The measuring range is approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from the sides. However, the detection range of the side sensors increases significantly when the steering angle of the front wheels is increased, and obstacles of up to approx. 90 cm (3 ft) located diagonally behind or in front of the vehicle are detected when the steering wheel is turned.

Limitations of Parking assistance

The Parking Assistance System (PAS118) can-not detect everything in all situations and may therefore have limited functionality in some cases. A driver should be aware about the following examples of Park Assist Pilot’s limitations:

WARNING

• The parking sensors have blind spots where obstacles cannot be detected.
• Pay particular attention if there are people and animals near the car.
• Bear in mind that the front of the car may swing out towards oncoming traffic during the parking manoeuvre.

WARNING

Pay additional attention while reversing when this symbol is shown if a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is mounted and electrically connected to the car. The symbol indicates that the parking assistance sensors rearward are switched off and will not warn of any obstacles.

IMPORTANT
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 unexpectedly stop instead of changing over to the expected constant tone. The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as projecting loading docks. In such situations, pay extra attention and manoeuvre/reposition the car particularly slowly or stop the current parking manoeuvre – there may be a high risk of damage to vehicles or other objects since information from the sensors is not always reliable in such situations.

IMPORTANT
In certain conditions the parking assistance system may produce incorrect warning signals that are caused by external sound sources with the same ultrasonic frequencies that the system works with. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noises from motorcycles, etc.

NOTE
Since a tow bar is configured with the car’s electrical system, tow bar protrusion is included when the function measures the distance to an object behind the car.

Park assist camera locations and surveillance areas

The Park assist cameras (PAC124) can display a composite 360° view and separate views for each of the four cameras: rear, front, left or right camera view.

360° view

The “field of vision” of the parking cameras with approximate coverage area. The 360° view function activates all parking cameras, whereupon the four sides of the car are shown simultaneously in the centre dis-play, which helps the driver to observe what is around the car when manoeuvring at slow speeds. From the 360° view, each camera view can be activated separately:

• Press the screen for the desired “field of vision” of the camera, e.g. on the surface in front of/above the front camera.

A camera symbol on the centre display’s car symbol indicates which of the cameras is active. If the car is also equipped with Park Assist System* then distance to detected obstacles is illustrated with fields in different colours. The cameras can be activated automatically or manually.

Backwards

The backwards-facing camera is fitted above the registration plate. The backward-facing camera shows a wide area behind the car. For certain models, part of the bumper can be seen as well as the tow-bar in some cases.
Objects shown in the centre display may appear slightly tilted — this is normal.

Forwards

The forwards parking camera is located in the grille. The front camera can be helpful on an exit road with limited visibility to the sides, e.g. when driving out of a garage. It is active at speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph) – following which, the front camera is switched off. If the car does not reach 50 km/h (30 mph) and the speed falls below 22 km/h (14 mph) within 1 minute after the forward-facing cam-era has been extinguished, the camera is reactivated.

The sides

The side cameras are positioned in each door mirror. The side cameras can show what is along each side of the car.

Park assist lines for park assist camera

The Park assist cameras (PAC125) indicate the position of the car in relation to its surroundings by displaying lines on the screen.

Example of park assist lines
Park assist lines show the intended route for the car’s external dimensions with the current steering wheel angle – this can facilitate parallel parking, reversing into tight spaces and when connecting a trailer. The lines on the screen are projected as if they were at ground level behind the car and respond directly to steering wheel movements, showing the driver the path the car will take – also when the car is turning. These park assist lines include the car’s most protruding parts, e.g. tow bar, door mirrors and corners.

NOTE

• When reversing with a trailer which is not connected electrically to the car, the park assist lines on the display show the route the car will take – not the trailer.
• The screen shows no park assist lines when a trailer is connected electrically to the car’s electrical system.
• Park assist lines are not shown when zooming in.

IMPORTANT
Remember, that with the rear camera view selected, the monitor only dis-plays the area behind the car. Be aware of the sides and front of the car when maneuvering in reverse. The same applies vice versa – note what happens to the rear parts of the car when the front camera view is selected. Note that the park assist lines show the shortest route. Therefore, pay extra attention to the car’s sides so that they do not go against/over something when the steering wheel is turned when driving forward or that the front sweeps against/over something when the steering wheel is turned when reversing.

Park assist lines in 360° view

360° view with park assist lines
With the 360° view, park assist lines are shown behind, in front of and at the side of the car (depending on the direction of travel):

• When driving forwards: Front lines
• When reversing: Side lines and reversing lines With front or rear camera selected, the park assist lines appear regardless of the car’s direction of travel. With one side camera selected, the park assist lines only appear when reversing.

Tow bar assist line

Tow bar with park assist line

1. Tow bar – activates the tow bar assist line.
2. Zoom – zoom in/out.
3. To use the camera for connecting a trailer:
4. Press Tow bar (1).
   > The park assist lines for the tow bar’s intended path appear – the car’s park assist lines will disappear at the same time.
5. Park assist lines for both car and tow-bar cannot be shown at the same time.
6. Press Zoom (2) when a more precise manoeuvring is required.
   > The camera view zooms in.

Sensor fields for parking assistance system

If the car is equipped with the Parking Assistance System (PAS126) then the distance is shown in the Parking Assistance Camera (PAC127) 360° view with coloured fields for each sensor that registers an obstacle.

Sensor fields backwards and forwards

The screen can show coloured sensor fields on the car symbol. The fields for the sensors for forwards and reverse change color as the distance to the obstacle decreases – from AMBER through ORANGE to RED.

Field colour reverse	Distance in metres (feet)
Yellow	0.6-1.5 (2.0-4.9)
Orange	0.3–0.6 (1.0–2.0)
Red	0-0.3 (0-1.0)

Field colour forwards	Distance in metres (feet)
Yellow	0.6–0.8 (2,0–2.6)
Orange	0.3–0.6 (1.0–2.0)
Red	0-0.3 (0-1.0)

For RED sensor fields, the pulsating acoustic signal changes over to a constant tone.

Sensor field to the sides
Warning signals depend on the intended route of the car. When the steering wheel is turned, therefore, there may also be a warning for obstacles diagonally in front of or diagonally behind the car, not just straight ahead or directly behind.

Parking sensor sectors where obstacles can be detected.

1. Left-hand side front sensor field Obstacle sector in the car’s intended route
2. forwards – depending on steering wheel angle
3. Sector with RED field colour and intensively pulsing tone
4. Right-hand side rear sensor field
5. Obstacle sector in the car’s intended route in reverse – depending on steering wheel angle.

The cooler of the side fields changes with reduced distance to the obstacle – from AMBER to RED.

Colour of side fields	Distance in metres (feet)
Yellow	0.25–0.9 (0.8–3.0)
Red	0–0.25 (0–0.8)

In the case of RED sensor fields, the acoustic signal changes from pulsing to intensively pulsing.

The centre display indicates with symbols, graphics and text the various operations to be carried out and when to do so.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections 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.
• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Parking variants with Park Assist Pilot

Park Assist Pilot (PAP131) can be used for both parallel and perpendicular parking. Parallel parking

The principal of parallel parking. The function parks the car using the following steps:

1. A parking space is identified and measured.
2. The car is reversed into the space.
3. The car is positioned in the space by means of driving forward/backward.

With the Park Out function, a parallel-parked car can also get help from the function with leaving the parking space.

Perpendicular parking

Principle for perpendicular parking. The function parks the car using the following steps:

1. A parking space is identified and measured.
   The car is reversed into the space and then positioned in the space by means of driving forward/backward.

• Leaving parallel parking with Park Assist Pilot (p. 406).

Using Park Assist Pilot

Park Assist Pilot (PAP132) helps the driver park via three steps. The function can also help the driver to leave a parking space. This function measures space and steers the car – the driver’s job is to:

• keep an eye on what is happening around the car follow the instructions in the centre dis-play select a gear (reverse/forward) – an acoustic signal indicates when the driver should change gear.
• regulate and maintain a safe speed brake and stop. Symbols, graphic and/or text appear on the centre display when the different steps are to be performed.
• The function can be activated if the following criteria are met once the engine has been started:

• No trailer is attached to the car
  Speed is lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).

NOTE
The distance between the car and parking spaces should be 0.5–1.5 metres (1.6–5.0 ft) while the function is searching for a parking space.

Parking with Park Assist Pilot

The function parks the car using the following steps:

1. A parking space is identified and measured.
2.  The car is reversed into the space.
3. The car is positioned into the space – the system may then request that the driver changes gear and brakes.

Find and measure parking spaces

The function can be activated in the centre display’s function view. It can also be accessed from the camera views.

• GREEN button indication – the function is activated.
• GREY button indication – the function is deactivated.

Principle for searching before parallel parking.

Principle for searching before perpendicular parking. Drive at a maximum of 30 km/h (20 mph) before parking.

1. Tap on the Park In button in the function view or in the camera view.
   > The function searches for a parking space and checks whether it is big enough.
2. Be prepared to stop the car when the graphic and message on the centre dis-play state that a suitable parking space has been found.
   > A pop-up window is shown.
3. Select Parallel parking or Perpendicular parking and select reverse gear.

NOTE
The function searches the area for parking, displays instructions and guides the car in on its passenger side. But if required the car can also be parked on the driver’s side of the street:
Activate the direction indicator to the driver’s side – then the system searches for a parking space on that side of the car instead.

Reversing in to the parking space

Principle for reversing into parallel parking.

Principle for reversing into perpendicular parking.

1. Check that the area behind the car is clear ,then engage reverse gear
2.  Reverse slowly and carefully without touching the steering wheel – and no faster than 7 km/h (4 mph).
3. Be prepared to stop the car when instructed by the graphic and message on the centre display.

NOTE

• Keep your hands away from the steer-ing wheel when the function is activated.
• Make sure that the steering wheel is not hindered in any way and can rotate freely.
• To achieve optimum results – wait until the steering wheel is fully turned before starting to drive backward/forward.

Positioning the car in the parking space

Principle for positioning during parallel parking.

Principle for positioning during perpendicular parking.

1. Move the gear selector to the gear position as instructed by the system, wait until the steering wheel has been turned and drive forward slowly.
2. Be prepared to stop the car when instructed by the graphic and message on the centre display.
3. Select reverse gear and drive slowly back-wards.
4. Be prepared to brake the car when instructed by the graphic and message on the centre display.

The function is deactivated automatically and the graphics and message show that parking is complete. It may be necessary for the driver to correct the car’s position. Only the driver can determine whether the car is properly parked.

IMPORTANT
The warning distance is shorter when the sensors are used by Park Assist Pilot (PAP133) compared with when Park Assist System uses the sensors.

Auto-brake during parking sequence
If 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 stationary. The driver display then shows a pop-up message where the driver can choose to cancel the parking manoeuvre by tapping on Cancel, or tap Resume to continue the parking sequence Proceed as follows after selecting Resume:

Check that there is free space around the car and follow the instructions in the centre display, such as:
To continue – Gently accelerate away from object.

Leaving parallel parking with Park Assist Pilot

The Park Out function can help the driver to leave a parking space when the car is parallel parked.

NOTE
When leaving a parking space, the Park Out function must only be used for a parallel parked car – it does not work for a perpendicular-parked car.

The Park Out function is activated in the centre display’s function view or in the cam-era view.

• GREEN button indication – the function is activated.
• GREY button indication – the function is deactivated.

1. Tap on the Park Out button in the function view or in the camera view.
2. Use the direction indicator to select the direction in which the car should leave the parking space.
3. Be prepared to stop the car when instructed by the graphic and message on the centre display  follow the instructions in the same way as for the parking procedure.

Note the steering wheel can “spring” back when the function is completed – the driver may then need to turn the steering wheel back to the maximum steering angle in order to leave the parking space. If the function considers that the driver can leave the parking space without any extra manoeuvring then the function will be stopped, even if the driver may consider that the car is still in the parking space.

Limitations of Park Assist Pilot
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP134) function cannot detect everything in all situations and may therefore have limited functionality. A driver should be aware about the following examples of Park Assist Pilot limitations.

WARNING

• The parking sensors have blind spots where obstacles cannot be detected.
• Pay particular attention if there are people and animals near the car.
• Bear in mind that the front of the car may swing out towards oncoming traffic during the parking manoeuvre.

IMPORTANT
Objects situated higher than the sensor detection area are not included when calculating the parking manoeuvre, which could cause the function to swing into the parking space too early – such parking spaces should be avoided for this reason.

Parking is discontinued
A parking sequence will be discontinued:

1. if the driver moves the steering wheel
2. if the car is driven too quickly – above
   7 km/h (4 mph)
3. if the driver presses Cancel in the centre display
4. when the anti-lock brakes or the Electronic stability control are engaged – e.g. when a wheel loses grip on a slippery road
5. as the steering servo for speed-dependent steering wheel resistance is working at reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to overheating
6. 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 stationary.

Where applicable, a message in the centre display states the reason for a parking sequence being discontinued.

IMPORTANT
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. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.

NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors will reduce their function and may prevent measurement.

Driver responsibility
The driver should bear in mind that the function is an aid – not an infallible, fully-automatic function. The driver must therefore be pre-pared to interrupt a parking step.

• There are also a few details to bear in mind while parking, e.g.: The driver is always responsible for deter-mining whether the space selected by the function is suitable for parking. Do not use the
• function if snow chains or a spare wheel are fitted. Do not use the function if cargo items are protruding from the car.
• Heavy rain or snow may cause the system to measure the parking space incorrectly.
• During the search and check-measurement of the parking space, the function may miss objects positioned deep in the parking space.
• Parking spaces on narrow streets are not always feasible, since the space required for manoeuvring may not be sufficient.
• Use approved tyres135 with the correct tyre pressure – this affects the ability of the function to park the car.
• 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 missed or offered unnecessarily if one parked car is protruding more than other parked cars.
• The function is designed for parking on straight streets – not sharp curves or bends. For this reason, make sure the car is parallel to the potential parking spaces when the function measures the space.

Limitations for camera and radar unit
The camera and radar unit has certain limitations – which in turn also limit those functions that use the unit. A driver should be aware about the following examples of limitations.

Common limitations for camera and radar

Blocked unit

The marked area must be cleaned regularly and kept free from stickers, objects, shade film, etc. The camera unit is placed inside the upper section of the windscreen together with the car’s radar unit.
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 giving incorrect function responses.

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

Damaged windscreen

NOTE
If not rectified it can lead to reduced performance 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.

The following is also applicable so as not to risk incorrect function for the driver supports that use the 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
  approx. 0.5 × 3.0 mm (0.02 × 0.12 in.) or more, a workshop139 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.
• Before replacing a windscreen, contact a workshop139 to verify that the correct windscreen has been ordered and will be fitted.
• The same type of windscreen wipers or windscreen wipers approved by Volvo must be fitted when the windscreen is replaced.
• When replacing the windscreen, the cam- era and radar unit must be recalibrated by a workshop139 to ensure the functionality of all the camera and radar-based systems in the car.

Further limitations for radar

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.

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.

• Sometimes the radar unit is late at detecting vehicles at close distances – e.g. vehicle that drives in between your car and the vehicle ahead.
• Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles not driving in the centre of the lane can remain undetected.
• In bends, the radar unit may detect a different 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 activated. Further limitations for camera Impaired vision The cameras have limitations similar to the human eye, i.e. may “see” worse in for example intense snowfall or rain, dense fog, heavy dust storms and snow flurries. Under such conditions, the functions of camera-dependent systems could be significantly reduced or temporarily disengaged.
Strong oncoming light, reflections in the carriageway, 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.

Further limitations for Park assist camera

Blind sectors

There are “blind” sectors between the cameras’ fields of vision.
In the park assist camera’s 360° view* obstacles/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.

Light conditions
The camera image is adjusted automatically according to prevailing light conditions.

NOTE
A bike carrier or other accessory mounted on the rear of the car could obscure the camera’s view.

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.

NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may cause incorrect warning signals, reduced or no function.

Location of the parking sensors.

Location of rear radar units. Keep the surface indicated clean – on both the left and right-hand sides of the car.

• To ensure best possible functionality, the surfaces in front of the sensors must be kept clean.
• Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in the area of the sensors.
• Clean camera lenses regularly with lukewarm water and car shampoo – be careful not to scratch the lenses.

IMPORTANT
Maintenance of driver support components must only be performed at a workshop –an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Defective camera

If a camera sector is black and contains this symbol then it means that the cam- era is out of order.

The car’s left-hand camera is out of order.
A black camera sector is also shown in the following instances, but then without the symbol for defective camera:

1. open door
2. open boot lid
3. folded-in door mirror.

Rear parking camera

WARNING
Pay additional attention while reversing when this symbol is shown if a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is mounted and electrically connected to the car. The symbol indicates that the parking assistance sensors rearward are switched off and will not warn of any obstacles.
