Besides the speed limit symbol an additional sign may beshown as well, such as "noovertaking".
If the driver enters a road marked with a no-entry sign atthe roadside, the symbol forthis sign flashes on and off onthe driver display as a warning.
If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation
*
then information from the map is also used to determine whether the car is being driven in thewrong direction. The driver can also get an acoustic warning when driving towards a no-entry entrance if the
Audio
Warning function is activated - see the heading
"Activating/deactivating the acoustic warning" in the section "Activating/deactivating Road SignInformation".
End of restriction or motorwayIf RSI detects a sign which may imply the end ofa speed limit, such as the end of a motorway, thedriver display shows the corresponding road signfor 10–30 seconds. Examples of such signs are: End of all restrictions.
End of motorway.
Following which, the sign information is hidden until the next speed-related sign is detected.
Additional signs
Examples of additional signs
20
.
Sometimes different speed limits are signed for the same road - an additional sign then indicatesthe circumstances under which the differentspeeds apply. The road section may be particu-larly susceptible to accidents in rain and/or fog,for example. An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use. If the car has a trailer attached and you pass a speed sign with the additional sign “trailer”, theindicated speed will appear on the driver display.
Some speed limits only applyafter a certain distance or at acertain time of day. The driver'sattention is drawn to this factby means of a symbol for anadditional sign below the speedsymbol. The additional symbol
in the driver display will show either “DIST” or“TIME”.
A symbol for additional sign in the form of an empty frameunder the driver display's speedsymbol means that the RSI hasdetected an additional signwith supplementary informationfor the current speed limit.
20 Road signs are market-dependent - illustrations in these instructions only show a few examples.

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.

Limitations of Parking assistance *
The Parking assistance function may have limita- tions in certain situations.
NOTE
Since a towbar is configured with the car's electrical system, towbar protrusion isincluded when the function measures the dis-tance to an object behind the car.
IMPORTANT
Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or low barriers may be in the "signal shadow" andare then temporarily not detected by the sen-sors - the pulsating tone may then unexpect-edly stop instead of changing over to theexpected constant tone. The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as projecting loading docks.
• In such situations, pay extra attention andmanoeuvre/reposition the car particularlyslowly or stop the current parkingmanoeuvre - there may be a high risk ofdamage to vehicles or other objects sinceinformation from the sensors is notalways reliable in such situations.
IMPORTANT
In certain conditions the parking assistance system may produce incorrect warning sig-nals that are caused by external soundsources that emit the same ultrasonic fre-quencies that the system works with. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes andexhaust noises from motorcycles, etc.
Maintenance
Location of the parking sensors 24
.
For parking assistance to work optimally, the parking assistance sensors must be cleaned reg-ularly with water and car shampoo.

Backwards
The backwards-facing camera 27
is fitted above the reg-
istration plate.
The backward-facing camera shows a wide area behind the car. For certain models, part of thebumper can be seen as well as the towbar insome cases. Objects shown in the centre display may appear slightly tilted — this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the centre display may be closer to the car than they appear to be on thescreen.
Forwards
The forwards parking camera 27
is located in the grille.
The front camera can be helpful on an exit road with limited visibility to the sides, e.g. when thereare high hedges. It is active at speeds up to25 km/h (16 mph) - following which, the frontcamera is switched off. If the car does not reach 50 km/h (30 mph), and the speed falls below 22 km/h (14 mph) within60 seconds after the forward-facing camera hasbeen switched off, the camera is reactivated.
NOTE
Automatic reactivation of the front camera on speed reduction requires that Auto Camera
Reverse Activation is selected in Settings
My CarPark Assist.

Park assist lines and fields for the Park Assist Camera *
The Park Assist Camera indicates the position of the car in relation to its surroundings by display-ing lines on the camera image.
Park assist lines
Examples of how the park assist lines can be displayed for the driver.
Park assist lines show the intended route for the car's external dimensions with the current steer-ing wheel angle - this facilitates parallel parking,reversing into tight spaces and when connectinga trailer. The lines on the screen are projected as if they were at ground level behind the car and responddirectly to steering wheel movements, showingthe driver the path the car will take - also whenthe car is turning. These park assist lines include the car's mostprotruding parts, e.g. towbar, door mirrors andcorners.
NOTE
Park assist lines are not shown when zoom- ing in.
NOTE
•
When reversing with a trailer which is not connected electrically to the car, the lines on the display show the route the
car will
take - not the trailer.
• The screen shows no lines when a trailer is connected electrically to the car's elec-trical system.
IMPORTANT
Remember that when rear camera view is selected, the centre display only shows thearea behind the car. Keep an eye on the sidesand front of the car when turning the steeringwheel while reversing. The same applies vice versa - note what hap- pens to the rear parts of the car when thefront camera view is selected. Note that the guide lines show the
shortest
route. Therefore, pay extra attention to the car's sides so that they do not go against/over something when the steering wheel isturned when driving forward or that the frontsweeps against/over something when thesteering wheel is turned when reversing.

Limitations of Park Assist Pilot *
The Active parking assistance (Park Assist Pilot – PAP) function may have limitations in certainsituations.
Parking is discontinuedA parking sequence will be discontinued:
• if the driver moves the steering wheel
• if the car is driven too quickly - above 7 km/h (4 mph)
• if the driver presses
Cancel in the centre
display
• when the anti-lock brakes or the Electronic stability control are engaged - e.g. when awheel loses grip on a slippery road.
Where applicable, a message in the centre dis-play states the reason for a parking sequencebeing discontinued.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors will reduce their function and may prevent meas-urement.
IMPORTANT
Under certain circumstances, PAP is unable to find parking spaces - one reason for thismay be the fact that there is interference withthe sensors from external sound sourceswhich emit the same ultrasound frequenciesas those with which the system works. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes andexhaust noises from motorcycles etc.
Driver responsibilityThe driver should bear in mind that the PAP is an aid – not an infallible, fully-automatic function.The driver must therefore be prepared to inter-rupt a parking step. There are also a few details to bear in mind while parking, e.g.:
• PAP bases itself on the locations of vehiclesalready parked nearby - if they are inap-propriately parked, your own car's tyres andwheel rims may be damaged by contact withthe kerb.
• PAP is designed for parking on straightstreets - not sharp curves or bends. For thisreason, make sure the car is parallel to theparking space when PAP measures thespace. •
Parking spaces on narrow streets are notalways feasible, since the space required formanoeuvring may not be sufficient.
• Bear in mind that the front of the car mayswing out towards oncoming traffic whilebeing parked.
• Objects situated higher than the detectionareas of the sensors are not taken intoaccount when calculating the parkingmanoeuvre. This may cause PAP to turn intothe parking space too early, and hence suchparking spaces should be avoided.
• The driver is responsible for determiningwhether the space selected by PAP is suita-ble for parking.
• Use approved tyres 28
with the correct tyre
pressure - this affects the ability of PAP topark the car.
• Heavy rain or snow may cause the system tomeasure the parking space incorrectly.
• Do not use PAP if snow chains or a sparewheel are fitted.
• Do not use PAP if cargo items are protrudingfrom the car.
• Perpendicular parking spaces may be missedor offered unnecessarily if one parked car isprotruding more than other parked cars.
28
"Approved tyres" refers to tyres of the same type and make as those fitted new on delivery from the factory.
