Volvo City Safety Braking Explained
Volvo City Safety braking explained: how the low-speed auto-brake system works, what its temporarily unavailable message means, and when to get it checked.

Warning system
Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking share the same radar and camera, so when one complains, the other often does too. These are safety-critical systems, which is why a fault light deserves attention rather than a shrug. The good news is that most warnings trace back to something simple: a sensor caked in road grime, a bumper knocked slightly out of alignment, or condensation behind the grille emblem. This section breaks down what the pre-collision and AEB warnings mean across common brands, how to spot a false alert, and when a warning points to a genuine hardware problem. You will also find plain steps to clean, reset, and verify the system so you know it is ready when you need it most.
