Volvo XC90: Driver support / Limitations of City Safety in crossing traffic
In certain situations, it may be difficult for City Safety to help the driver
avoid a collision with crossing traffic.

For example:
On slippery roads when Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is actively operating.
- If an approaching vehicle is detected at a late stage.
- If the oncoming vehicle is partially obstructed by another vehicle or object.
- If the oncoming vehicle's headlights are off.
- If the oncoming vehicle is moving erratically and e.g. suddenly changes
lanes at a late stage.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain
general limitations.
City Safety1 can assist the driver when turning into the path of
an oncoming vehicle in an intersection.
Sector in which City Safety can
detect an oncoming vehicle in crossing traffic...
City Safety steering assistance can help the driver steer away from a vehicle/obstacle
when it is not possible to avoid a collision by braking alone. City Safety steering
assistance is always activated and cannot be switched off...
Other information:
The function of the tires is to carry loads, provide traction on r oad
surfaces, reduce vibrations and protect the wheels from wear. The tires significantly
influence the vehicle's driving characteristics. The type, dimensions, tire pressure
and speed rating have a considerable impact on how the vehicle performs...
It is important to have the vehicle's systems and equipment checked carefully
before driving long distances.
Check that
the engine is running properly and that fuel consumption is normal
there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
the brake pedal is functioning properly
tire tread depth and air pressure are at correct levels...
