Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC) – limitations
LimitationsEven 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.

are activated when the
engine is started; this is confirmed when the indicator lights on the front door panels flashonce.
NOTE
The door panel indicator light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the sys-tem has detected another vehicle. If yourvehicle is passed on both sides at thesame time, both lights will illuminate.
The system helps provide information about:
• Other vehicles in your door mirrors' "blind area"
• Vehicles that are about to pass your vehi-cle in the left and/or right lanes
• Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a supple- mentary BLIS function
intended to
detect vehicles crossing behind your vehicle while you are backing up.

WARNING
•BLIS and CTA are information sys- tems, NOT warning or safety systemsand do not function in all situations.
• BLIS and CTA do not eliminate theneed for you to visually confirm theconditions around you, and the needfor you to turn your head and should-ers to make sure that you can safelychange lanes or back up.
• As the driver, you have full responsibil-ity for changing lanes/backing up in asafe manner.
When does CTA function
How CTA works
CTA supplements BLIS by warning the driver of crossing traffic behind your vehicle, for example, when backing out of a parkingspace. It is primarily designed to detect another vehi- cle but in certain cases may also detectpedestrians or smaller objects such as bicy-cles. CTA is only activated when the vehicle is backing up and is activated automaticallywhen the gear selector is put in reverse.
• An audible signal indicates that CTA has detected something that is approachingfrom the side. The signal will come fromeither the left or right audio systemspeakers, depending on which the side ofyour vehicle the approaching vehicle/object has been detected.
• CTA also provides a warning by illuminat-ing the BLIS indicator lights.
• An icon will also illuminate in the Parkassist graphic on the center console dis-play.
LimitationsCTA has limitations in certain situations, for example, the CTA sensors cannot "see"through other parked vehicles or obstruc-tions. The following are several examples where CTA's "field of vision" may initially be limitedand approaching vehicles cannot be detecteduntil they are too close:
The vehicle is pulled far into a parking space
CTA's blind area
CTA's "field of vision"
In angled parking spaces, CTA may be "blind" on one side

Brake lights
The brake lights come on automatically when the brakes are applied.
Adaptive brake lightsThe adaptive brake lights activate in the event of sudden braking or if the ABS system isactivated. This function causes an additionaltaillight on each side of the vehicle to illumi-nate to help alert vehicles traveling behind. 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.

Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA)
EBA is designed to provide full brake effect immediately in the event of sudden, hardbraking.
Emergency Brake AssistanceThe EBA 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.
NOTE
• When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressurein the brake system immediatelyincreases to the maximum level. Youmust maintain full pressure on thebrake pedal in order to utilize the sys-tem completely. There will be no brak-ing effect if the pedal is released. EBAis automatically deactivated when thebrake pedal is released.
• When the vehicle has been parked forsome time, the brake pedal may sinkmore than usual when the engine isstarted. This is normal and the pedalwill return to its usual position when itis released.

Engine and cooling system
Under special conditions, for example when driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or withheavy loads, there is a risk that the engine andcooling system will overheat. Proceed as follows to avoid overheating the engine. •Maintain a low speed when driving with a trailer up long, steep hills. For informa-tion, see Towing a trailer (p. 279)
• Do not turn the engine off immediatelywhen stopping after a hard drive.
WARNING
The cooling fan may start or continue to operate (for up to 6 minutes) after theengine has been switched off.
•
Remove any auxiliary lights from in front of the grille when driving in hot weatherconditions.
• Do not exceed engine speeds of4500 rpm if driving with a trailer in hillyterrain. The oil temperature could becometoo high.
Conserving electrical current
Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain:
• When the engine is not running, avoid using ignition mode
II. Many electrical
systems (the audio system, the optionalnavigation system, power windows, etc)will function in ignition modes 0 and I.
These modes reduce drain on the battery.
• Please keep in mind that using systems,accessories, etc., that consume a greatdeal of current when the engine is notrunning could result in the battery beingcompletely drained. Driving or having theengine running for approximately15 minutes will help keep the batterycharged.
• The optional 12-volt socket in thetrunk (p. 134) area provides electrical cur-rent even with the ignition switched off,which drains the battery.
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo serv-ice technician before driving long distances.Your retailer will also be able to supply youwith bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiperblades for your use in the event that problemsoccur. As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip:
• Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
• Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.
• Have the transmission oil level (p. 374)checked.
• Check condition of drive belts.
• Check state of the battery's charge.
• Examine tires carefully (the spare tire aswell), and replace those that areworn (p. 287). Check tire pres-sure (p. 294).
• The brakes, front wheel alignment, andsteering gear should be checked by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian only.
• Check all lights, including high beams.
• Reflective warning triangles are legallyrequired in some states/provinces.
• Have a word with a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician if you intend to
