DRIVER SUPPORT
||
After the windshield has been replaced, the
camera/radar sensor will have to be recalibra-
ted by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician to help ensure proper function of
all of the vehicle's camera-/radar-based sys-
tems.
Maintenance
In order for City Safety to function properly, the
area of the windshield must be kept free of dirt,
ice, snow, etc.
Other vehicle functions
If a message is displayed in the instrument panel,
this means that the other systems using the cam-
era/radar sensor (see the list below) will not have
full functionality or may not function at all.
The radar sensor is used by the following func-
tions:
•
Distance Alert*
•
Driver Alert Control*
•
Adaptive Cruise Control*
•
Pilot Assist*
•
Road Sign Information*
•
Active High Beams*
•
Lane Keeping Aid*
Do not mount or in any way attach anything on
the windshield that could obstruct the camera/
radar sensor.

WARNING
•
The camera has the same type of limita-
tions as the human eye, i.e., it cannot see
as well in heavy snowfall or rain, thick fog
or in heavy blowing dust or snow. In such
conditions, systems depending on the
camera may experience greatly reduced
functionality or may be temporarily deacti-
vated.
•
Never place any objects, decals, etc., on
the windshield in front of the camera. This
could reduce or block the camera's func-
tion, and could cause one or more of the
systems that utilize the camera to stop
functioning.
•
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road
surface, ice or snow covering the road, a
dirty road surface, or unclear lane marker
lines may drastically reduce the camera's
capacity to detect the side of a lane, a
pedestrian, a cyclist or another vehicle.
Radar sensor for other functions
City Safetyuses the same radar sensor as Adap-
tive Cruise Control. See the article "Radar sensor
limitations" for detailed information.
