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 surfa-
•
ces, or have activated their hazard warn-
ing flashers, do not have the function acti-
vated.
Vehicles that have detected slippery surfa-
•
ces, or have activated their hazard warn-
ing 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 minor road which is missing in 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.

DRIVER SUPPORT
City Safety™
City Safety 13 can use lights, sound and a
brake pulse warning to alert the driver to
pedestrians, cyclists, larger animals and vehi-
cles.
Function overview
Acoustic signal in the event of a risk of col-
lision
Warning signal in the event of a risk of col-
lision
Distance measurement with the camera
and radar unit
The function can help the driver avoid a colli-
sion when, for example, driving in heavy traf-
fic, 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.
* Option/accessory.
