City Safety™

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

General

City Safety™ is a function for helping the driver

to avoid a collision when driving in queues,

amongst other things, when changes in the

traffic ahead, combined with a lapse in atten-

tion, could lead to an incident.

The function is active at speeds up to 30 km/h

and assists the driver by braking the car auto-

matically.

City Safety™ is activated in situations where

the driver should have started braking earlier,

which is why is cannot help the driver in every

situation.

City Safety™ must not be used as an excuse

for the driver to change his/her driving style. If

the driver solely relies on City Safety™ to do

the braking, there will be a collision sooner or

later.

The driver or passengers normally only notice

City Safety™ if a situation arises where the car

is extremely close to being in a collision.

If the car is also equipped with a Collision

Warning function with Auto Brake*, these two

systems complement each other. For more

information on Collision Warning function with

Auto Brake, see page 167.

IMPORTANT

Maintenance and replacement of City

Safety™ components may only be per-

formed by an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

City Safety™ does not engage in all driving

situations or traffic, weather or road condi-

tions.

City Safety™ does not react to vehicles

driving in a different direction from the car,

to small vehicles such as bicycles and

motorcycles or to humans and animals.

City Safety™ can prevent collision at a

speed difference of less than 15 km/h - at a

higher speed difference, it is only possible

to reduce collision speed. In order to obtain

full brake function, the driver must depress

the brake pedal.

Never wait for City Safety™ to engage. The

driver always bears responsibility for main-

taining the proper distance and speed.

Function

Laser sensor transmitter and receiver window.

City Safety™ detects the traffic in front of the

car with a laser sensor fitted in the top edge of

the windscreen. If there is an immediate risk of

collision, City Safety™ will automatically brake

the car with approx. 50% of maximum brake

force.

If the speed difference is 15 km/h or less in

relation to the vehicle in front then City

Safety™ can completely prevent a collision.

If the difference is 15-30 km/h, City Safety™

may not prevent the collision on its own. To

obtain full brake force, the driver must depress

the brake pedal. This could make it possible to

prevent a collision even at speed differences

above 15 km/h.
