DRIVER SUPPORT

Examples of further limitations

The auto-brake subfunction only detects

moving vehicles and therefore cannot

"see" and brake for stationary obstacles, a

cyclist or a pedestrian, for example.

•

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors

may reduce the functions and deactivate

alerts.

•

CTA is automatically deactivated if a

trailer, bicycle rack or similar is connected

to the car's electrical system.

For good performance of CTA, there

should be no bicycle rack, luggage carrier

or similar mounted on the car's towbar.

NOTE

This function uses the car's radar units,

which have certain general limitations.

DRIVER SUPPORT

The side sectors change colour as the distance

between the car and an object is reduced.

Park Assist*

NOTE

The Parking Assistance System (PAS¹⁰⁸) uses

sensors to assist the driver when manoeu-

vring in tight spaces by indicating the dis-

tance to obstacles through acoustic signals

combined with a graphic in the centre dis-

play.

Except in the sector nearest to the car

symbol, audible warnings are only given for

objects directly in the path of the car.

The shorter the distance to the obstacle, the

faster the signal sounds. Other sound from the

audio system is muted automatically.

The acoustic signal for obstacles ahead and to

the sides is active when the car is moving but

stops after the car has been stationary for

approx. 2 seconds. The acoustic signal for

obstacles behind is also active when the car is

stationary.

WARNING

The function is supplementary driver

support intended to facilitate driving

and make it safer – it cannot handle all

situations in all traffic, weather and

road conditions.

•

At a distance within approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from

an obstacle behind or in front of the car, the

tone is constant and the active sensor field

closest to the car symbol is filled.

The driver is advised to read all sec-

tions in the Owner's Manual that relate

to this function to learn about factors

such as its limitations and what the

driver should be aware of before using

the system.

At a distance within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft)

from an obstacle To the sides, the tone pulses

intensively and the active sector field changes

colour from ORANGE to RED.

tors.

Driver support functions are not a sub-

stitute for the driver's attention and

judgement. The driver is always

responsible for ensuring the car is

driven in a safe manner, at the appro-

priate speed, with an appropriate dis-

tance to other vehicles, and in accord-

ance with current traffic rules and reg-

ulations.

•

The volume of the parking assistance signal

can be adjusted while the signal is sounding

by means of the [>II] knob on the centre con-

sole. Adjustment can also be performed in the

top view's Settings menu option.

The centre display shows an overview of the

relationship between the car and detected

obstacles.

The highlighted sector indicates the location

of the obstacle. The closer the car symbol is to

a highlighted sector box at the front/back, the

shorter the distance between the car and

detected obstacle.

car's electrical system, parking assistance

backward is deactivated automatically.

Activate or deactivate the

function using this button in

NOTE

When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike

carrier on the towbar - without Volvo genu-

ine trailer wiring - parking assistance may

need to be switched off manually in order

that the sensors do not react to them.

The warning signal pulses intensively at less than

approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from an obstacle.

Park Assist Pilot can also be activated or deac-

However, the detection range of the side sen-

sors increases significantly when the steering

angle of the front wheels is increased, and

obstacles of up to approx. 90 cm (3 ft) located

diagonally behind or in front of the vehicle are

detected when the steering wheel is turned.

Limitations of Parking assistance

WARNING

IMPORTANT

The Parking Assistance System (PAS¹¹¹) can-

not detect everything in all situations and

may therefore have limited functionality in

some cases.

Pay additional attention

while reversing when this

symbol is shown if a

trailer, bicycle rack or sim-

ilar is mounted and electri-

cally connected to the car.

Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or

low barriers may be in the "signal shadow"

and are then temporarily not detected by

the sensors - the pulsating tone may then

unexpectedly stop instead of changing

over to the expected constant tone.

A driver should be aware about the following

examples of Park Assist Pilot's limitations:

The symbol indicates that

The sensors cannot detect high objects,

such as projecting loading docks.

the parking assistance sensors rearward

are switched off and will not warn of any

obstacles.

WARNING

The parking sensors have blind spots

where obstacles cannot be detected.

•

In such situations, pay extra attention

and manoeuvre/reposition the car par-

ticularly slowly or stop the current

parking manoeuvre - there may be a

high risk of damage to vehicles or

other objects since information from

the sensors is not always reliable in

such situations.

•

Pay particular attention if there are

people and animals near the car.

Bear in mind that the front of the car

may swing out towards oncoming traf-

fic during the parking manoeuvre.

IMPORTANT

In certain conditions the parking assistance

system may produce incorrect warning

signals that are caused by external sound

sources with the same ultrasonic frequen-

cies that the system works with.

Examples of such sources include horns,

wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,

exhaust noises from motorcycles, etc.

NOTE

Since a towbar is configured with the car's

electrical system, towbar protrusion is

included when the function measures the

distance to an object behind the car.

The "field of vision" of the parking cameras with

approximate coverage area.

The 360° view function activates all parking

cameras, whereupon the four sides of the car

are shown simultaneously in the centre dis-

play, which helps the driver to observe what is

around the car when manoeuvring at slow

speeds.

The forwards parking camera is located in the grille.

The front camera can be helpful on an exit

road with limited visibility to the sides, e.g.

when driving out of a garage. It is active at

speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph) - following

which, the front camera is switched off.

From the 360° view, each camera view can

be activated separately:

If the car does not reach 50 km/h (30 mph)

and the speed falls below 22 km/h (14 mph)

within 1 minute after the forward-facing cam-

era has been extinguished, the camera is reac-

tivated.

vision” of the camera, e.g. on the surface

in front of/above the front camera.

The backwards-facing camera is fitted above the reg-

istration plate.

The Park assist cameras (PAC¹¹⁸) indicate the

position of the car in relation to its surround-

The lines on the screen are projected as if they

were at ground level behind the car and

respond directly to steering wheel move-

ments, showing the driver the path the car will

take - also when the car is turning.

These park assist lines include the car's most

protruding parts, e.g. towbar, door mirrors and

corners.

NOTE

The side cameras are positioned in each door mirror.

When reversing with a trailer which is

not connected electrically to the car,

the park assist lines on the display

show the route the car will take – not

IMPORTANT

Remember, that with the rear camera

aware of the sides and front of the car

when manoeuvring in reverse.

The same applies vice versa - note

what happens to the rear parts of the

car when the front camera view is

selected.

•

Note that the park assist lines show

the shortest route. Therefore, pay extra

attention to the car's sides so that they

do not go against/over something

when the steering wheel is turned

when driving forward or that the front

sweeps against/over something when

the steering wheel is turned when

reversing.
