functionality may be reduced in
certain situations.
Surroundings
Low objects
Hanging objects, such as flags for overhang-
ing loads or accessories such as auxiliary
lights or front protective grids that extend
beyond the height of the hood, may limit City
Safety functionality.
Slippery road conditions
The extended braking distance on slippery
roads may reduce City Safety's capacity to
help avoid a collision. In these types of situa-
tions, the Anti-lock Braking System and Elec-
62
tronic Stability Control (ESC
) are designed
for optimal braking power with maintained
stability.
Backlighting
The visual warning signal in the windshield
may be difficult to detect in bright sunlight, if
there are reflections, or if the driver is wearing
sunglasses or not looking straight ahead.
Heat
If the temperature in the passenger compart-
ment is high due to e.g. bright sunlight, the
visual warning signal in the windshield may be
temporarily disabled.
Camera and radar sensor's field of vision
The camera's field of vision is limited and in
certain situations, it may be unable to detect
pedestrians, large animals, cyclists or vehicles,
or it may detect them later than expected.
Vehicles that are dirty may be detected later
than clean vehicles, and in dark conditions,
motorcycles may be detected late or not at all.
If a text message displayed in the instrument
panel indicates that the camera/radar sensor
is obstructed, it may be difficult for City Safety
to detect pedestrians, large animals, cyclists,
vehicles or lane markings in front of the vehi-
cle. City Safety functionality may therefore be
reduced.
Text messages may not be displayed for all sit-
uations in which the windshield sensors are
blocked. The driver must therefore always
keep the windshield in front of the camera/
radar sensor clean.
CAUTION
Only a workshop may perform mainte-
nance on driver support components – an
authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
