Park assist syst*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.201 General
Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
An acoustic signal as well as symbols on the
centre console's display screen indicate the
distance to the detected obstacle.
Parking assistance sound level can be
adjusted during the ongoing acoustic signal
using the centre console's VOL knob or in the
car's menu system MY CAR - see page 142.
Parking assistance is available in two variants:
•Rear only
•Both front and rear.
WARNING
•Parking assistance does not relinquish
the driver's own responsibility during
parking.
•The sensors have blind spots where
obstacles cannot be detected.
•Be aware of e.g. people or animals near
the car.
Function
The system is automatically activated when the
car is started and the switch's On/Off lamp is
illuminated. If parking assistance is switched
off with the button, the lamp goes out.
Display screen view - showing an obstacle left
front and right rear.
The centre console's display screen shows an
overview of the relationship between the car
and detected obstacle.
Marked sectors show which of the four sen-
sor(s) detected an obstacle. The closer to the
car symbol a selected sector box is, the shorter
the distance between the car and a detected
obstacle.
The frequency of the signal increases the
shorter the distance to an obstacle, in front of
or behind the car. Other sound from the audio
system is muted automatically.
When the distance is within 30 cm the tone is
constant and the active sensor's field nearest
the car is filled in. If the detected obstacle is
within the distance for the constant tone both

204* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
The parking camera is an assist system and is
activated when reverse gear is engaged (can
be changed in the settings menu, see
page 142).
The camera image is shown on the centre con-
sole's screen.
WARNING
•The parking camera serves as an aid. It
does not relieve the driver of responsi-
bility when reversing.
•The camera has blind spots, where
obstacles cannot be detected.
•Be aware of people and animals in the
vicinity of the car.
CAM button location.
The camera shows what is behind the car and
if something appears from the sides.
The camera shows a wide area behind the car
and part of the bumper and any towbar.
Objects on the screen may appear to tilt slightly
- this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the display screen may be closer
to the car than they appear to be on the
screen.
If another view is active the parking camera
system takes over automatically and the cam-
era image is displayed on the screen.When reverse gear is engaged two unbroken
lines are shown graphically which illustrate
where the car's rear wheels will roll with the
current steering wheel angle, this facilitates
tight parking, reversing into tight spaces and
for hitching a trailer. The car's approximate
exterior dimensions are also illustrated by two
dashed lines, the park assist lines can be deac-
tivated in the settings menu.
If the car is also equipped with parking assis-
tance sensors* then their information is dis-
played graphically as coloured fields in order to
illustrate the distance to detected obstacles,
see page 206.
The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after
reverse gear has been disengaged or until the
car's speed exceeds 10 km/h.

Light conditionsThe camera image is adjusted automatically
according to prevailing light conditions.
Because of this, the image may vary slightly in
brightness and quality. Poor light conditions
can result in a slightly reduced image quality.
NOTE
Keep camera lenses clear of dirt, snow and
ice to ensure the best possible function.
This is particularly important in poor light.
Park assist lines
Examples of how the park assist lines can be dis-
played for the driver.
The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were at ground level behind the car and are
directly related to steering wheel movement,which shows the driver the path the car will
take, even when turning.
NOTE
•When reversing with a trailer which is
not connected electrically to the car, the
lines on the display show the route the
car will take - not the trailer.
•The screen shows no lines when a trailer
is connected electrically to the car's
electrical system.
•The parking camera is deactivated
automatically when towing a trailer if a
Volvo genuine trailer cable is used.
IMPORTANT
Bear in mind that the screen only shows the
area behind the car - pay attention to the
sides and front of the car when manoeuvring
during reversing.
Boundary lines
The system's lines.
Boundary line, 30 cm zone backwards
from the car
Boundary line, free reversing zone
"Wheel tracks"
The unbroken line (1) frames in a zone that is
within about 30 cm from the bumper.
The dashed line (2) frames in a zone up to
about 1.5 m back from the bumper. It is also
the limit of the car's most protruding parts,
such as door mirrors and corners - also during
turning.
The wide "wheel tracks" (3) between the side
lines indicate where the wheels will roll and can
extend about 3.2 m back from the bumper if no
obstacle is in the way.

ZoomThe camera can be used to advantage when
hitching a trailer.
•The towbar can be zoomed in for precision
manoeuvring with one press on CAM.
Pressing again gives normal view.
In zoomed-in view a park assist line for the
towbar's intended route to the trailer can be
seen on the display screen (exactly as for
"wheel tracks").
The towbar's park assist line is activated in the
menu system MY CAR where a selection can
be made between displaying the "wheel
tracks" or towbar line - both options cannot be
displayed simultaneously.
Cars with reversing sensors*
Coloured areas (x 4, one per sensor) show dis-
tance.
If the car is also equipped with parking assis-
tance sensors (see page 201) the distance indi-
cation will be more precise and the coloured
areas show which of the 4 sensors is/are reg-
istering an obstacle.
The colour of the areas changes with decreas-
ing distance to the obstacle - from yellow to
orange to red.
Colour / paintDistance

SettingsPress OK/MENU when a camera view is
shown. Make the settings as desired.
Miscellaneous
•The default setting is that the camera is
activated when reverse gear is engaged.
•One press on CAM activates the camera
even if reverse gear is not engaged.
•Change between normal and zoomed
image by turning TUNE or by pressing
CAM.
•If the car has more cameras* installed then
the camera in use is changed by turning
TUNE.
Limitations
NOTE
A bike carrier or other accessory mounted
on the rear of the car could obscure the
camera's view.
Pay attention to the possibility that, even if it
only looks like a relatively small part of the
image is obscured, it could be a relatively large
sector that is hidden from view. Obstacles
could thereby go undetected until they are very
close to the car.
To bear in mind
•Keep the camera lens free from dirt, ice
and snow.
•Clean the camera lens regularly with luke-
warm water and car shampoo - take care
not to scratch the lens.

BLIS* – Blind Spot Information System
04
208* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
BLIS is activated when the engine is started.
The indicator lamps in the door panels flash
three times when BLIS is activated.
The system can be deactivated/activated after
starting the engine with one press on the
BLIS button.
Some combinations of the selected equipment
leave no vacant space for a button in the centre
console - in which case the function is handled
by the car's menu system MY CAR under
SETUP
Car settingsBLIS. (For a
description of the menu system, see
page 142).
When BLIS is deactivated, the lamp in the but-
ton goes out and a message is shown in the
instrument panel display.
When BLIS is activated the light in the button
illuminates, a new text message is shown on
the display and the indicator lamps in the door
panels flash 3 times. Press the READ button to
delete the text message. (For a description of
messages, see page 140).
When BLIS operates
The system operates when the car is driven at
a speed above 10 km/h.
OvertakingThe system is designed to react if:
•you overtake another vehicle at a speed of
up to 10 km/h faster than the other vehicle
•you are overtaken by a vehicle travelling up
to 70 km/h faster than you are travelling.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
BLIS does not work when the car is revers-
ing.
A wide trailer coupled to the car can conceal
other vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can pre-
vent the vehicle in the screened area from
being detected by BLIS.
Daylight and darknessIn daylight the system reacts to the shape of
the surrounding vehicles. The system is
designed to detect motor vehicles such as
cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.
In darkness the system reacts to the head-
lamps of surrounding vehicles. If the head-
lamps of surrounding vehicles are not switched
on then the system does not detect the vehi-cles. This means for example that the system
does not react to a trailer without headlamps
which is towed behind a car or truck.
WARNING
The system does not react to cyclists or
moped riders.
The BLIS cameras have limitations similar to
those of the human eye, i.e. they do not
"see" as well e.g. in heavy snowfall, against
strong light or in thick fog.
Cleaning
In order to work most effectively the BLIS cam-
era lenses must be clean. The lenses can be
cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge.
Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not
scratched.
IMPORTANT
The lenses are electrically heated to melt ice
or snow. If necessary, brush snow away
from the lenses.
