Park assist camera - limitations
The parking camera is an assist system and is activated when reverse gear is engaged.
NOTE
A bike carrier or other accessory mounted on the rear of the car could obscure thecamera's view.
To bear in mindPay attention to the possibility that, even if it only looks like a relatively small part of theimage is obscured, it could be a relativelylarge sector that is hidden from view. Obsta-cles could thereby go undetected until theyare very close to the car.
• Keep the camera lens free from dirt, ice and snow.
• Clean the camera lens regularly with luke-warm water and car shampoo - take carenot to scratch the lens.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed.
The On/Off button is located on the centre con- sole.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's electrical system, the protrusion of thetowbar is included when the functionmeasures the parking space.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - function
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and turns the steering wheel - the driver's taskis to follow the combined instrument pan-el's instructions and select the gear(reverse/forward), control the speed, brakeand stop.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria are met once the engine has been started:
• The functions DSTC or ABS must not intervene while the PAP function is ena-bled - these can be activated due to asteep or slippery surface, for example;see the sections on Foot brake and Sta-bility and traction control system for moreinformation.
• A trailer must not be connected to thecar.
• The speed must be below 50 km/h.
Principle for PAP.
The PAP function parks the car using the fol- lowing steps:
1. The function searches for a parking space and measures it (A & B) - during measure- ment the speed must notexceed 30 km/h.
2. The car is steered into the space while reversing (C & D).
3. The car is straightened up in the space by driving back and forth (E & F ).

BLIS* (Blind Spot Information System) - operation
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is a function designed for providing support forthe driver when driving in dense traffic onroads with several lanes in the same direction.
Activate/deactivate BLISBLIS is activated when the engine is started.This is confirmed by the indicator lamps inthe door panels flashing once.
Button for activating/deactivating.
The BLIS function can be deactivated/acti-
vated by pressing the BLIS button on the
centre console. Some combinations of the selected equip- ment leave no vacant space for a button inthe centre console - in which case the func-tion is handled by the car's menu system (p.103) MY CAR . When BLIS is deactivated/activated the lampin the button extinguishes/illuminates and thecombined instrument panel confirms thechange with a text message. The door panelindicator lamps flash once upon activation. To extinguish the message:
• Press the left stalk switch
OK button.
or
• Wait approx. 5 seconds - the message extinguishes.
When BLIS operates
Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone for rapidly approaching vehicle.
The BLIS function is active at speeds above approx. 10 km/h. The system is designed to react when: •
the driver's vehicle is overtaken by other vehicles
• the driver's vehicle is rapidly caught upby another vehicle.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, thedoor panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a con-stant glow. If the driver activates the directionindicator on the same side as the warning inthis situation then the BLIS lamp will changefrom a constant glow to flashing with a moreintense light.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends. BLIS does not work when the car is being reversed.
Limitations
• Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can reduce functionality and make it impossi-ble to provide warnings. BLIS cannotdetect hazards if it is covered.
• Do not affix any objects, tape or labels inthe area of the sensors.
• BLIS is deactivated when a trailer is con-nected to the car's electrical system.

CTA is only active during reversing and is activated automatically when the gearbox'sreverse position is selected. •If CTA detects something approaching from the side, an acoustic warning signalsounds. The signal comes from either theleft or the right-hand speaker, dependingon the direction from which the object isapproaching.
• CTA also warns by illuminating the BLISlamps.
• An additional warning is provided in theform of an illuminated icon in the displayscreen's PAS graphics (p. 240).
LimitationsCTA does not perform optimally in all situa- tions, but has a certain limitation - for exam-ple, the CTA sensors cannot "see" throughother parked vehicles or obstructing objects. Here are some examples of when CTA's "field of vision" may be limited from the beginningand approaching vehicles cannot therefore bedetected until they are very close:
The car is parked deep inside a parking slot.
Blind CTA sector.
Sector where CTA can detect/"see".
In an angled parking slot CTA can be completely "blind" on one side.
However, when the driver is slowly reversing the car, the angle is changed in relation to the vehicle/object that is blocking, at which theblind sector rapidly decreases. Examples of further limitations:
• Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can reduce functionality and make it impossi-ble to provide warnings. CTA cannotdetect hazards if it is covered.
• Do not affix any objects, tape or labels inthe area of the sensors.
• CTA is deactivated when a trailer is con-nected to the car’s electrical system.
IMPORTANT
Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions' components or repainting the bumpersmust only be performed by a workshop -an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-mended.

Adjustable steering force*
Steering force increases with the speed of the car to give the driver enhanced sensitivity.The steering is firmer and more immediate onmotorways. Steering is light and requires noextra effort when parking and at low speed. The driver can choose between three differ- ent levels of steering force for road respon-siveness or steering sensitivity. The setting ismade in the menu system
MY CAR. For a
description of the menu system, see MY CAR(p. 103). This setting is not accessible when the car is moving.
NOTE
In certain situations the power steering may become too hot and then needs to betemporarily cooled - during this time thepower steering operates with reducedpower and turning the steering wheel maythen be perceived to be slightly heavier. In parallel with the temporarily reduced steering assistance the combined instru-ment panel shows a message.

Automatic gearbox -- Powershift*
An automatic gearbox with Powershift differs from an automatic gearbox with Geartronic (p.273), in that it has double mechanical clutchdiscs.
D : Automatic gear positions. +S–: Manual gear
positions. S: Sport mode*.
The Powershift automatic gearbox transmits the motive force from the engine to the drivewheels with double mechanical clutch discs,as opposed to Geartronic which instead usesa hydraulic torque converter. Powershift transmission operates in the same way and has similar controls and functions asthe Geartronic automatic transmission. Oneexception is Geartronic's Winter mode, seethe section "Geartronic - Winter mode" (p. 273). Powershift enables driving away on aslippery road surface if 2nd gear is engagedmanually instead of 3rd gear (Geartronic).
Powershift or GeartronicThe model with Powershift transmissionshould not be towed as it is dependent on theengine running in order to receive sufficientlubrication. If towing still has to take place,the route must be as short as possible andthen with very low speed. In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not the car is equipped with Powershift trans-mission, this can be verified by checking thedesignation on the gearbox label under thebonnet - see Type designations (p. 386). Thedesignation ”MPS6” means that it isPowershift transmission - otherwise it isGeartronic automatic transmission.
To bear in mindThe transmission's double clutch has over-load protection that is activated if it becomestoo hot, e.g. if the car is held stationary withthe accelerator pedal on an uphill gradient fora long time. Overheated transmission causes the car to shake and vibrate, and the warning symbolilluminates and the combined instrumentpanel shows a message. The transmissioncan also overheat during slow driving inqueues (10 km/h or slower) on an uphill gradi-ent, or with a trailer hitched. The transmissioncools down when the car is stationary, withfoot brake depressed and the engine runningat idling speed. Overheating during slow driving in queues can be avoided by driving in stages:
• Stop the car and wait with your foot on the brake pedal until there is a moderatedistance to the traffic ahead, drive for-ward a short distance, and then waitanother moment with your foot on thebrake pedal.
IMPORTANT
Use the foot brake to hold the car station- ary on an uphill gradient - do not hold thecar with the accelerator pedal. The gear-box could then overheat.
For important information regarding Power- shift transmission and towing, see Towing (p.313).
Text message and actionIn some situations the combined instrumentpanel may show a text message at the sametime as a symbol is illuminated.

Fording
Fording means that the car is driven through a water-covered roadway. Fording must be car-ried out with great caution. The car can be driven through water at a maximum depth of 25 cm at a maximumspeed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should beexercised when passing through flowingwater. During driving in water, maintain a low speed and do not stop the car. When the water hasbeen passed, depress the brake pedal lightlyand check that full brake function is achieved.Water and mud for example can make thebrake linings wet resulting in delayed brakefunction. •Clean the electric contacts of the electric engine block heater and trailer couplingafter driving in water and mud.
• Do not let the car stand with water overthe sills for any long period of time - thiscould cause electrical malfunctions.IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter. In depths greater than 25 cm, water could enter the transmission. This reduces thelubricating ability of the oils and shortensthe service life of these systems. In the event of the engine stalling in water, do not try restart - tow the car from thewater to a workshop - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended. Risk of enginebreakdown.

Overheating
Under special conditions, for example hard driving in hilly terrain and hot climate, there isa risk that the engine and drive system mayoverheat - in particular with a heavy load. For information about overheating when driv- ing with a trailer, see Driving with a trailer (p.306). • Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille when driving in hot climates.
• If the temperature in the engine's coolingsystem is too high then a warning symbolis illuminated in the combined instrumentpanel's information display and a text message
High engine temp Stop safelyis shown there - stop the car in a safe way and allow the engine to run at idlingspeed for several minutes in order to cooldown.
• If the text message

Fuel - handling
Fuel of a lower quality than that recom- mended by Volvo must not be used as enginepower and fuel consumption is negativelyaffected.
WARNING
Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and get- ting fuel splashes in the eyes. In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove any contact lenses and rinse the eyes in plentyof water for at least 15 minutes and seekmedical attention. Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol, bioethanol and mixtures of them and die-sel are highly toxic and could cause per-manent injury or be fatal if swallowed.Seek medical attention immediately if fuelhas been swallowed.
WARNING
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ignited. Switch off the fuel-driven heater before starting to refuel. Never carry an activated mobile phone when refuelling. The ring signal couldcause spark build-up and ignite petrolfumes, leading to fire and injury.
IMPORTANT
Mixing different types of fuel or the use of fuel not recommended invalidates Volvo'sguarantees, and any associated serviceagreement. This applies to all engines.NOTE: It does not apply to cars withengines that are adapted to run on ethanolfuel (E85).
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combi-nation with fuel grade are factors thatcould affect the car's performance.
