City Safety - Troubleshooting - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

Therefore, vehicles or objects with low-reflec-
tive surfaces may not be detected. Normally,
the license plate and taillight reflectors give
the rear section of a vehicle ahead sufficient
reflective surfaces to be detected.
NOTE
•
Keep the windshield in front of the
laser sensor free of ice, snow, dirt,
etc., see City Safety – function
(p. 191).
•
Snow or ice on the hood deeper than
2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sen-
sor. Keep the hood free of ice and
snow.
•
Do not mount or in any way attach
anything on the windshield that could
obstruct the laser sensor.

Windscreen Sensors blocked
If
the information display, this indicates that the
City Safety™ laser sensor is obstructed in
some way and cannot detect vehicles ahead
of you, which means that the system is not
functioning.
However, this message will not be displayed
in all situations in which the sensor is
obstructed. For this reason, the driver must
ensure that the area of the windshield in front
of the sensor is always kept clean.
The following table shows some of the situa-
tions that can cause the message to be dis-
played and suggested actions.

NOTE
If a crack, scratch or stone chip should
occur in the section of the windshield in
appears in
front the laser sensor, contact a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician to
repair or replace the windshield (see the
illustration showing the location of the sen-
sor in City Safety – function (p. 191)). Fail-
ing to do so may result in reduced City
Safety™ functionality.
To help prevent limited or reduced func-
tionality, please also observe the following:
•
Volvo recommends that cracks,
scratches or stone chips on the wind-
shield in front of the laser sensor
should not be repaired; in such cases,
the entire windshield should be
replaced.
•
Before the windshield is replaced,
contact a Volvo retailer to ensure that
the correct windshield is ordered and
installed. If the wrong type of wind-
shield is used, this may cause City
Safety™ to function improperly or not
at all. Volvo recommends the use of
only Genuine Volvo Replacement
Windshields.
•
When replacing windshield wipers, use
the same type or ones approved by
Volvo.
