Volvo XC60: Introduction
City Safetyâ„¢1 is a support system designed to help the driver avoid low speed collisions when driving in slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic.
City Safety™ is not active if your vehicle’s speed is below approximately 2 mph (4 km/h).
This means that City Safetyâ„¢ will not react if your vehicle approaches another vehicle at very low speed, for example, when parking.
The function is active at speeds up to approximately 18 mph (30 km/h) and assists the driver by applying the brakes automatically, thereby avoiding or helping to reduce the effects of a collision.
City Safetyâ„¢ is designed to intervene as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary activation.
City Safetyâ„¢ triggers brief, forceful braking if a low-speed collision is imminent. However, the system will not intervene in situations where the driver actively steers the vehicle or applies the brakes, even if a collision cannot be avoided.
This is done in order to always give the driver’s actions highest priority.
City Safetyâ„¢ activates in situations where the driver has not applied the brakes in time, which means that the system cannot help the driver in all situations.
City Safetyâ„¢ should not be used to alter the way in which the driver operates the vehicle.
The driver should never rely solely on this system to safely stop the vehicle.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safetyâ„¢ except when the system intervenes when a low-speed collision is imminent.
If the vehicle is also equipped with the optional Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection system, the two systems interact. For more information about the Collision Warning with Auto-brake system, see page 172.
WARNING
• City Safety™ is a supplemental aid to
the driver. It can never replace the
driver’s attention to traffic conditions or
his/her responsibility for operating the
vehicle in a safe manner.
• City Safety™ does not function in all
driving situations or in all traffic, weather
or road conditions.
• City Safety™ only reacts to vehicles
traveling in the same direction as your
vehicle and does not react to small vehicles,
bicycles or motorcycles or to people
or animals.
• City Safety™ is not activated when your
vehicle is backing up.
• City Safety™ functions at speeds up to
18 mph (30 km/h). This system can help
prevent a collision if the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead is less than 9 mph
(15 km/h). If the difference in speed is
greater, a collision cannot be avoided
but the speed at which the collision
occurs can be reduced. The driver must
apply the vehicle’s brakes for full braking
effect.
• Never wait for City Safety™ to intervene
in a potential collision situation. The
driver is always responsible for maintaining
a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead.
