See also the section entitled General information on the
Alcolock on page 109
NOTE
After a completed period of driving, the
engine can be restarted within 30 minutes
without a new breath test.
To bear in mind
Before the breath testIn order to obtain correct function and as accu-
rate a measurement result as possible:
•Avoid eating or drinking approx.
5 minutes before the breath test.
•Avoid excess windscreen washing - the
alcohol in the washer fluid may result in an
incorrect measurement result.
Change of driverIn order to ensure that a new breath test is car-
ried out in the event of a change of driver -
depress the switch (2) and the send button (3)
simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds. At
which point the car returns to start inhibition
mode and a new approved breath test is
required before starting the engine.
Calibration and serviceThe Alcolock must be checked and calibrated
at a workshop1 every 12 months.
30 days before recalibration is necessary the
display shows
Alcoguard Calibr. required. If
calibration is not carried out within these 30
days then normal engine starting will be
blocked - only starting with the Bypass func-tion will then be possible, see page 111 sec-
tion Emergency situation.
The message can be cleared by pressing the
send button (3) once. Otherwise it goes out on
its own after approx. 2 minutes but then reap-
pears each time the engine is started - only
recalibration at a workshop
1 can clear the mes-
sage permanently.
Cold or hot weatherThe colder the weather the longer it takes
before the Alcolock is ready for use:
Temperature (ºC)Maximum heat-
ing time (sec-
onds)
+10 — +8510
–5 — +1060
–40 — –5180
At temperatures below -20 ºC or above
+60 ºC the Alcolock requires additional power
supply. The display shows
Alcoguard insert
power cable. In which case, connect the
power supply cable from the glovebox and wait
until indicator lamp (6) is green.

WARNING
Never look into the laser sensor (which
emits spreading invisible laser radiation) at
a distance of 100 mm or closer with magni-
fying optics such as a magnifying glass,
microscope, lens or similar optical instru-
ments - this would involve a risk of eye injury
(the illustration on page 184 shows sensor
location).
For more information on the laser sensor, see
page 10.
Symbols and messages in the display

City Safety™ system, one or more symbols
may illuminate on the instrument panel and a
message may appear on its display.A text message can be acknowledged by
briefly pressing the READ button on the direc-
tion indicator stalk.
SymbolMessageMeaning/Action
Auto braking by City SafetyCity Safety™ is braking or has automatically braked.

behind and in front of the car, then the tone
sounds alternately from the loudspeakers.
Rear parking assistance
The distance covered to the rear of the car is
about 1.5 metres. The acoustic signal for
obstacles behind comes from one of the rear
loudspeakers.
Rear parking assistance is activated when
reverse gear is engaged.
The system must be deactivated when revers-
ing with a trailer or bike carrier on the towbar
or similar - otherwise they would trigger the
sensors.
NOTE
Rear parking assistance is deactivated
automatically when towing a trailer if Volvo
genuine trailer wiring is used.
Front parking assistance
The distance covered in front of the car is about
0.8 metres. The acoustic signal for obstacles in
front comes from one of the front loudspeak-
ers.
Front parking assistance is active up to
15 km/h. The lamp in the button is illuminated
in order to indicate that the system is activated.
When the speed is below 10 km/h the system
is reactivated.
NOTE
Front parking assistance is deactivated
when the parking brake is applied or P mode
is selected in a car with an automatic gear-
box.
IMPORTANT
When fitting auxiliary lamps: Remember that
they must not obscure the sensors – the
auxiliary lamps could then be detected as
obstacles.
Fault indicator
If the information symbol illuminates
with constant glow and the informa-
tion display shows
Park assist syst Service
required then parking assistance is disen-
gaged.
IMPORTANT
In certain conditions the parking assistance
system may produce incorrect warning sig-
nals that are caused by external audio
sources that emit the same ultrasonic fre-
quencies that the system works with.
Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and
exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.

(Ensemble)
To navigate in and access the channel group
list turn TUNE. The name of the Ensemble is
shown in the upper part of the TV screen. When
scrolling to the new
Ensemble the name
changes to the new one. A thick grey line sep-
arates the two channel groups from each other.
•Service - Shows channels irrespective of
the channel group to which they are allo-
cated. The list can also be filtered using the
selection of programme type (
PTY
filtering), see below.
ScanningThe function automatically searches the cur-
rent wavelength for strong stations. When a
station is found, it is played for approx. 8 sec-
onds before scanning is resumed. When a sta-
tion is playing back it is saved as a preset in the
usual way. For more information on presets,
see "Preset" below.

Go in DAB mode to DAB menu
Scan to
start scanning.
NOTE
Scanning stops if a station is saved.
Scanning can also be selected in DAB-PTY
mode. In which case only channels of the pre-
selected programme type are played.
Programme type (PTY)Various types of radio programmes can be
selected using the programme type function.
There are a number of different programme
types which also include different programme
categories. After selecting a programme type,

that are broadcasting that type.
Programme type is selected in DAB mode
under DAB menu
PTY filtering. Exit this
mode as follows:

Press EXIT.
> An indicator is shown in the TV screen
when PTY is activated.
In certain cases DAB radio will exit PTY mode
when DAB to DAB linking (see below) is imple-
mented.
Preset10 station presets can be stored per wave-
length. DAB has 2 memories for presets:
DAB1 and DAB2. Storing of presets is per-
formed in the usual way, for more information
see page 226. The stored presets are selected
using the preset buttons.A preset contains one channel but no sub-
channels. If a subchannel is being played and
a preset is saved then only the main channel is
registered. This is because subchannels are
temporary. At the next attempt to retrieve the
preset, the channel which contained the sub-
channel will be played. The preset is not
dependent on the channel list.
A list of pre-selected channels can be shown
