Brakes

130
The adaptive brake lights activate if: •The ABS system activates for more than approximately a half second
• In the event of sudden braking while thevehicle is moving at speeds aboveapproximately 6 mph (10 km/h)
When the vehicle has come to a stop, the brake lights and additional taillights remain onfor as long as the brake pedal is depressed oruntil braking force on the vehicle is reduced.
Power brakes function only when the engine is running
The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure which is only created when the engine is run-ning. Never let the vehicle roll to a stop withthe engine switched off. If the power brakes are not working, consid- erably higher pressure will be required on thebrake pedal to compensate for the lack ofpower assistance. This can happen for exam-ple when towing your vehicle or if the engineis switched off when the vehicle is rolling. Thebrake pedal feels harder than usual.
Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking
Driving in rain and slush or passing throughan automatic car wash can cause water tocollect on the brake discs and pads. This willcause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delaywhen the brakes are needed, depress thepedal occasionally when driving through rain,slush, etc. This will remove the water from thebrakes. Check that brake application feelsnormal. This should also be done after wash-ing or starting in very damp or cold weather.
Severe strain on the brake systemThe brakes will be subject to severe strainwhen driving in mountains or hilly areas, orwhen towing a trailer. Vehicle speed is usuallyslower, which means that the cooling of thebrakes is less efficient than when driving onlevel roads. To reduce the strain on thebrakes, shift into a lower gear and let theengine help with the braking. Do not forgetthat if you are towing a trailer, the brakes willbe subjected to a greater than normal load.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps toimprove vehicle control (stopping and steer-ing) during severe braking conditions by limit-ing brake lockup. When the system "senses"impending lockup, braking pressure is auto-matically modulated in order to help preventlockup that could lead to a skid. The system performs a brief self-diagnostic test when the engine has been started anddriver releases the brake pedal. Another auto-matic test may be performed when the vehi-
cle first reaches a speed of approximately6 mph (10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsateseveral times and a sound may be audiblefrom the ABS control module, which is nor-mal.
Cleaning the brake discsCoatings of dirt and water on the brake discsmay result in delayed brake function. Thisdelay is minimized by cleaning the brake lin-ings. Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet weather, prior to long-term parking, and afterthe vehicle has been washed. Do this bybraking gently for a short period while thevehicle is moving.
Emergency Brake AssistanceEBA is designed to provide full brake effectimmediately in the event of sudden, hardbraking. The system is activated by the speedwith which the brake pedal is depressed. When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brakesystem immediately increases to the maxi-mum level. Maintain full pressure on thebrake pedal in order to utilize the systemcompletely. EBA is automatically deactivatedwhen the brake pedal is released.

Park assist*
04
178* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
The park assist system is designed to assist you when driving into parking spaces,garages, etc. It utilizes ultrasound sensors inthe front bumper and rear bumper(s) to meas-ure the distance to a vehicle or an object thatmay be close to the front or rear of your vehi-cle. An audible signal and symbols in theaudio system’s display indicate the distanceto the object.
NOTE
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with the vehicle's electrical system will beincluded in the measurement of the availa-ble space behind the vehicle.
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT a safety system. This system is designedto be a supplementary aid when parkingthe vehicle. It is not, however, intended toreplace the driver's attention and judge-ment.
Function
Park assist button
The system is activated automatically when the vehicle is started. The indicator light in thebutton in the center console illuminates whenthe system is on.
• The front park assist system is active from the time the engine is started untilthe vehicle exceeds a speed of approxi-mately 6 mph (10 km/h). It is also activewhen the vehicle is backing up.
• Rear park assist is active when the engineis running and reverse gear has beenselected.
Activating/deactivatingThe system is activated automatically when the vehicle is started.
–Press the Park assist button on the center console to temporarily deactivate the sys-tem(s).
> The indicator light in the button will go
out when the system has been deacti- vated.
Park assist will be automatically reactivatedthe next time the engine is started, or if thebutton is pressed (the indicator light in thebutton will illuminate).
NOTE
Park assist is disengaged automatically when the parking brake is applied.

Signals from the park assist system
View in the display (warning for objects front left/ right rear)
Visual indicatorThe audio system’s display gives an overview of the vehicle’s position in relation to adetected object. The marked sectors in the display indicate that one or more of the sensors has detectedan object. The closer the car symbol comesto a sector, the closer the vehicle is to theobject. If the infotainment system is switched off, the park assist system will not be able to providea visual indicator. An audible signal will stillbe provided.
Audible signalThe Park Assist system uses an intermittenttone that pulses faster as you come close toan object, and becomes constant when youare within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of anobject in front of or behind the vehicle. Ifthere are objects within this distance bothbehind and in front of the vehicle, the tonealternates between front and rear speakers.
NOTE
The level of the audible signal can be low- ered/raised with the infotainment volumecontrol. The level can also be set in the MYCAR menu system. See page 197 for adescription of the menu system.
If the volume of another source from the audio system is high, this will be automati-cally lowered.
Rear park assist
The distance monitored behind the vehicle is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signalcomes from the rear speakers. The system must be deactivated when towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mountedcarrier, etc, which could trigger the rear parkassist system's sensors.

180* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
• Rear park assist is deactivated auto- matically when towing a trailer if Volvogenuine trailer wiring is used. If a non-Volvo trailer hitch is being used, it maybe necessary to switch off the systemmanually, see page 178.
• The system will not detect highobjects, such as a loading dock, etc.
• Objects such as chains, thin shinypoles or low objects may temporarilynot be detected by the system. Thismay result in the pulsing tone unex-pectedly stopping instead of changingto a constant tone as the vehicleapproaches the object. In such cases,use caution when backing up or stopthe vehicle to help avoid damage.
Front park assist
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audiblesignal comes from the audio system's frontspeakers. It may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since theselights could trigger the system's sensors.
NOTE
Front park assist is deactivated when the parking brake is applied and or when thegear selector is in the
P position.
Faults in the system
If the information symbol illuminates andPark assist syst Service required is shown
on the information display, this indicates that the system is not functioning properly andhas been disengaged. Consult a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning sig-nals that can be caused by external soundsources that use the same ultrasound fre-quencies as the system. This may includesuch things as the horns of other vehicles,wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This doesnot indicate a fault in the system.

04 Driver support
Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC)*
04
182* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
The Park Assist Camera uses the display in the center console to show the area behindthe car while you are backing up. PAC also shows guiding lines in the on- screen image to indicate the direction that thevehicle will take as it moves rearward, whichhelps simplify parallel parking, backing into atight space or when attaching a trailer to thevehicle.
NOTE
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with the vehicle's electrical system will beincluded in the measurement of the availa-ble space behind the vehicle.
WARNING
• PAC is designed to be a supplemen- tary aid when parking the vehicle. It isnot, however, intended to replace thedriver’s attention and judgment.
• The camera has blind spots where itcannot detect objects or peoplebehind the vehicle.
• Pay particular attention to people oranimals that are close to the vehicle.
Function
The driver sees what is behind the vehicle and if a person or animal should suddenlyappear from the side. PAC is mounted on the rear of the trunk lid, near the opening handle. The camera has built-in electronics that help reduce the “fish-eye” effect so that the imageshown on the screen is as natural as possi-ble. This may cause some objects on thescreen to “lean,” which is normal.
WARNING
Objects seen on the screen may be closer than they appear to be.
Ambient lighting conditionsThe camera automatically monitors the ambi- ent lighting conditions behind the vehicle andconstantly adjusts sensitivity to light. Thismay cause the brightness and quality of theimage on the screen to vary slightly. Sensitiv-ity to light is increased in dark conditions or inbad weather, which may affect image quality. If the image on the screen seems too dark, brightness can be increased with the thumbwheel on the lighting panel.
NOTE
In order to function properly, the camera lens should always be kept clean. This isparticularly important in bad weather.Keep the lens free of dirt, ice or snow.

Using PAC
Activation
PAC is activated when the gear selector is moved to R if the system is selected in the
MY CAR menu system or by pressing the
CAM button in the center console. See page
197 for a description of the menu system. If the Volvo Navigation System (VNS) is in use, PAC will automatically override the navi-gation system to show the camera's imageon the screen instead of navigation informa-tion, for as long as reverse gear is selected.
ZoomThe camera can be useful when attaching atrailer. Press CAM to zoom in on the trailer
hitch (and press this button again to return tothe normal camera view). With the camera zoomed in on the trailerhitch, a guiding line showing the hitch's pathtoward the trailer will be projected. This fea-ture can be activated in the
MY CAR menu.
See page 197 for a description of the menusystem. The guiding lines for the wheels (seethe following section "Guiding lines") and forthe trailer hitch cannot be displayed at thesame time. If the camera shows an enlarged (zoomed) image, turn TUNE counterclockwise, or press
EXIT , CAM or OK to return to a normal view.
DeactivationMove the gear selector from R to another
position. There is a slight delay in the PACsystem, which means that the view frombehind the vehicle will remain on the screenfor approximately 15 seconds after the gearselector has been moved from the R position
or until the vehicle reaches a forward speedof 6 mph (10 km/h). The screen will thenrevert to the mode that it was in before R was
selected and will, for example, display navi-gation system information.
NOTE
If any button on the center console control panel is pressed, the camera image willdisappear from the display. Pressing CAM
will return the camera image to the display.
Guiding lines
The lines on the screen are projected as if they were a path on the ground behind thevehicle and are affected by the way in whichthe steering wheel is turned. This enables thedriver to see path the vehicle will take, even ifhe/she turns the steering wheel while backingup.
NOTE
When backing up with a trailer, the guiding lines show the path that the vehicle will
take, not the trailer.

changed in the
MY CAR menu) and the
image is shown on the center console display.
• When backing up, two solid lines are pro-jected on the screen to show the paththat the vehicle's rear wheels will take.These lines are affected by movements ofthe steering wheel. The vehicle's approxi-mate outer dimension are shown by twodashed lines.
• The graphic lines will not be displayedwhen backing up with a trailer that is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
• Objects on the ground that are closerthan 1 ft (30 centimeters) cannot bedetected by the camera.
• The camera is active for approx.5 seconds after the gear selector ismoved to
R or until the vehicle's speed
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The optional Park Assist sensors and theparking camera work together and infor-mation from the sensors is shown graphi-cally on the display.
• The graphic lines shown on the screenwhen the vehicle backs up can be disa-bled in the settings menu.
• Manual zoom can be selected in the
MY
CAR menu.
• The system can be switched off by press-ing
CAM . By default, the system is acti- vated when the gear selector is moved toR
. This setting can be changed in the MY
CAR menu.
• If there are two cameras installed on thevehicle*, to switch between cameras, turnTUNE
(at least one of the cameras has to
be active), press CAM repeatedly or use
the center console controls. If the frontcamera is on, it overrides the optionalpark assist system's visual indicator butthere will still be an audible signal.
Limitations
Even if a fairly small section of the screen image appears to be obstructed, this maymean that a relatively large area behind thevehicle is hidden and objects there may notbe detected until they are very near the vehi-cle.
NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories mounted on the trunk may obstruct thecamera's field of view.
Keep in mind
• Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and snow. Remove ice and snow care-fully to avoid scratching the lens.
• Clean the lens regularly with warm waterand a suitable car washing detergent.
