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:
BLIS1 functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
Keep the marked area clean (on both the left and right sides
of the vehicle)2.
Examples of limitations:
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may reduce functionality and prevent
the system from providing warnings...
In order for the camera and radar units to function properly, they must be
kept free of dirt, ice, snow, etc. and should be washed regularly with water and
car washing detergent.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors could cause false warnings, reduced
function, or no function...
