City Safety
™
City Safety
™
is a function for helping the driver
to avoid a collision when driving in queues,
amongst other things, when changes in the traf-
fic ahead, combined with a lapse in attention,
could lead to an incident.
The City Safety
™
function is active at speeds
below 50 km/h (30 mph) and it helps the driver
by automatically braking the car in the event of
imminent risk of collision with vehicles in front,
should the driver not react in time by braking
and/or steering away.
City Safety
™
is activated in situations where the
driver should have started braking earlier, which
is why it cannot help the driver in every situation.
City Safety
™
is designed to be activated as late
as possible in order to avoid unnecessary inter-
vention.
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 might be a risk of 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 Collision Warning
with Auto Brake (p. 223)
*
these two systems
complement each other.
Maintenance and replacement of City
Safety
™
components must only be per-
formed by a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
WARNING
City Safety
™
does not engage in all driving
situations or traffic, weather or road condi-
tions.
City Safety
™
does not react to vehicles driv-
ing in a different direction from the car, to
small vehicles and motorcycles or to humans
and animals.
City Safety
™
can prevent collision at a speed
difference of less than 15 km/h (9 mph) - 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 maintain-
ing the proper distance and speed.
