Park Assist*
Parking assistance assists the driver when manoeuvring in tight spaces by indicating thedistance to obstacles by acoustic signals com-bined with graphics on the centre display.
Screen view showing obstacle zones and sensor sectors.
The centre display shows an overview of the rela- tionship between the car and detected obstacles. The highlighted sector indicates the location of the obstacle. The closer the car symbol is to ahighlighted sector box, the shorter the distancebetween the car and detected obstacle. The shorter the distance to the obstacle, the faster the signal sounds. Other sound from theaudio system is muted automatically. The acoustic signal for obstacles ahead and to the sides is active when the car is moving butstops after the car has been stationary for approx. 2 seconds. The acoustic signal for obsta-cles behind is also active when the car is station-ary. At a distance within 30 cm from an obstacle behind or in front of the car, the tone is constantand the active sensor's field closest to the carsymbol is filled. The volume of the parking assistance signal can be adjusted while the signal is sounding by means of the [
>II] knob on the centre console.
Adjustment can also be performed in the top view's
Settings menu option.
NOTE
• Acoustic warnings are only given for objects directly on the vehicle's route.
WARNING
•Parking assistance does not relinquish the driver's own responsibility duringparking.
• The sensors have blind spots whereobstacles cannot be detected.
• Be aware of e.g. people or animals nearthe car.
Backwards
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
The sensors for reverse are activated if the car rolls backward without a gear engaged or whenthe gear lever is moved to reverse position. The measuring range starts approx. 1.5 metres behind the car. When reversing with a hitched trailer, parking assistance backward is deactivated automatically.
NOTE
When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike car- rier on the towbar - without Volvo genuinetrailer wiring - parking assistance may need tobe switched off manually in order that thesensors do not react to them.

Ignition positions The car's electrical system can be set in different levels/positions and in this way make the differ-ent functions available.
In order to facilitate the use of a limited number of functions with the engine switched off, thecar's electrical system can be set in 3 different levels - 0, I and II. These levels are described
with the denomination "ignition position" throughout the owner's manual. The following table shows the functions available in each ignition position/level:
Level Functions
0 •Odometer, clock and temperature gauge are illuminated.
• Power seats can be adjusted.
• The power windows can be used.
• The centre display is started andcan be used.
• It is possible to start the audio.
The functions are time-controlled inthis ignition position and are switchedoff automatically after a period of time.
I •Panorama roof, power windows,12V socket in the passenger com-partment, navigation, phone, venti-lation fan and windscreen wiperscan be used.
• Power seats can be adjusted.
• 12 V sockets in the cargo areacan be used.
• The audio is started automaticallyif it was running when the car wasleft.
Power is taken from the battery inthis ignition position.Level Functions
II •The headlamps come on.
• Warning/indicator lamps illuminate for 5 seconds.
• Several other systems are acti-vated. However, heating in seatcushions and the rear window canonly be activated after the car hasbeen started.
This ignition position consumes alot of current from the battery andshould therefore be avoided!

Automatic deactivation
In gear position D the steering wheel paddles are
deactivated after a short time if they are not used. This is indicated by means of the figure for thecurrent gear extinguishing. The exception is during engine braking - then the paddles are activated for as long as engine brak-ing is in progress. In gear position M there is no automatic deactiva-
tion.

Start/Stop
With the Start/Stop function, the engine switches off temporarily when the car has stop-ped e.g. at traffic lights or in a traffic queue, andthen starts again automatically when the journeyis resumed.
Start/Stop is one of several energy-saving func- tions intended to reduce fuel consumption, whichin turn helps to reduce exhaust emissions. The system makes it possible to adopt an envi- ronmentally-conscious driving style by allowingthe car to engine auto-stop when possible.
Related information
• Using the Start/Stop function (p. 396)
• Conditions for the Start/Stop function(p. 398)
Using the Start/Stop function The Start/Stop function temporarily switches off the engine when stationary and then restarts itautomatically when the journey is resumed.
The Start/Stop function is available when the engine is started and can be activated if certainconditions have been met. The driver display indi-cates whether the function is available, active orunavailable, see heading "Symbols in driver dis-play" below. All of the car's normal systems such as lighting, radio, etc. work normally, even when the engine isauto-stopped. However, some equipment mayhave its output temporarily reduced, e.g. the cli-mate control system's fan speed or extremelyhigh volume on the audio system.
Auto-stopThe following is required for the engine to auto-stop:

Overloading the starter battery
The electrical functions in the car load the starter battery to varying degrees. Avoid using the igni-tion position II when the car is switched off.
Instead, use ignition position I - which uses less
power.
Also, be aware of different accessories that load the electrical system. Do not use functions whichuse a lot of power when the car is switched off.Examples of such functions are:
• ventilation fan
• headlamps
• windscreen wiper
• audio system (high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, the message
12 V Battery Low charge, will soon enter
power save mode is shown in the driver display.
The energy-saving function then shuts down cer- tain functions or reduces certain functions suchas the ventilation fan and/or audio system.
–In which case, charge the starter battery by starting the car and then running it for atleast 15 minutes - starter battery charging ismore effective during driving than runningthe engine at idling speed while stationary.

Preparations for a long trip
Before a driving holiday or some other type of long journey, it is important to check the car'sfunctions and equipment particularly carefully.
Check that:
• the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption is normal
• there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
• all bulbs are working
• the tyres have sufficient tread depth andpressure
• a warning triangle and high-visibility vest arelocated in the car - legally required in certaincountries
• the wiper blades are in good condition.

Audio settings
The audio system is preset for optimal sound reproduction, but can be adapted according toneeds.
The volume is normally adjusted with the volume control below the centre display or with the right-hand steering wheel keypad.
Setting for optimal sound reproductionThe audio system is pre-calibrated for optimumsound reproduction by means of digital signalprocessing. This calibration takes into accountloudspeakers, amplifiers, passenger compartmentacoustics, listener position, etc., for each combi-nation of car model and audio system. There isalso a dynamic calibration that takes into accountthe setting of the volume control and vehiclespeed. Audio settings are described in the correspond- ing section in the owner information. To accessthe settings, open the top view and tap on
SettingsSound.
Active noise reduction *Certain cars are equipped with an active noise reduction function that suppresses engine noisein the passenger compartment via the audio sys-tem. Microphones in the car's roof detect disrup-tive noise and the audio system outputs anti-noise in order to dampen the noise.
Microphones in the car's roof.
NOTE
Do not cover the car's microphones; other- wise a rumbling sound from the audio systemmay be produced.
