Signals from the park assist system
View in the display (warning for objects front left/ right rear)
Visual indicatorThe audio system’s display gives an overview of the vehicle’s position in relation to adetected object. The marked sectors in the display indicate that one or more of the sensors has detectedan object. The closer the car symbol comesto a sector, the closer the vehicle is to theobject. If the infotainment system is switched off, the park assist system will not be able to providea visual indicator. An audible signal will stillbe provided.
Audible signalThe Park Assist system uses an intermittenttone that pulses faster as you come close toan object, and becomes constant when youare within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of anobject in front of or behind the vehicle. Ifthere are objects within this distance bothbehind and in front of the vehicle, the tonealternates between front and rear speakers.
NOTE
The level of the audible signal can be low- ered/raised with the infotainment volumecontrol. The level can also be set in the MYCAR menu system. See page 209 for adescription of the menu system.
If the volume of another source from the audio system is high, this will be automati-cally lowered.
Rear park assist
The distance monitored behind the vehicle is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signalcomes from the rear speakers. The system must be deactivated when towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mountedcarrier, etc, which could trigger the rear parkassist system's sensors.

194* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
• Rear park assist is deactivated auto- matically when towing a trailer if Volvogenuine trailer wiring is used. If a non-Volvo trailer hitch is being used, it maybe necessary to switch off the systemmanually, see page 192.
• The system will not detect highobjects, such as a loading dock, etc.
• Objects such as chains, thin shinypoles or low objects may temporarilynot be detected by the system. Thismay result in the pulsing tone unex-pectedly stopping instead of changingto a constant tone as the vehicleapproaches the object. In such cases,use caution when backing up or stopthe vehicle to help avoid damage.
Front park assist
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audiblesignal comes from the audio system's frontspeakers. It may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since theselights could trigger the system's sensors.
NOTE
Front park assist is deactivated when the parking brake is applied and or when thegear selector is in the
P position.
Faults in the system
If the information symbol illuminates andPark assist syst Service required is shown
on the information display, this indicates that the system is not functioning properly andhas been disengaged. Consult a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning sig-nals that can be caused by external soundsources that use the same ultrasound fre-quencies as the system. This may includesuch things as the horns of other vehicles,wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This doesnot indicate a fault in the system.

Location of the front sensors
Location of the rear sensors
The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they work properly. Clean them with water and a suitable car washing deter-gent. Ice and snow covering the sensors may cause incorrect warning signals.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g., dirt, snow, or ice, this could result in falsewarning signals from the park assist sys-tem.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC)*
04
196* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
The Park Assist Camera (PAC) uses the dis- play in the center console to show the areabehind the car while you are backing up. PAC also shows guiding lines in the on- screen image to indicate the direction that thevehicle will take as it moves rearward, whichhelps simplify parallel parking, backing into atight space or when attaching a trailer to thevehicle. The images of vehicles in this section are generic and may not depict your specificmodel.
NOTE
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with the vehicle's electrical system will beincluded in the measurement of the availa-ble space behind the vehicle.
WARNING
• PAC is designed to be a supplemen- tary aid when parking the vehicle. It isnot, however, intended to replace thedriver’s attention and judgment.
• The camera has blind spots where itcannot detect objects or peoplebehind the vehicle.
• Pay particular attention to people oranimals that are close to the vehicle.
• Objects seen on the screen may becloser than they appear to be.
Function
The driver sees what is behind the vehicle and if a person or animal should suddenlyappear from the side. PAC is mounted on the tailgate, near the opening handle. The camera has built-in electronics that help reduce the “fish-eye” effect so that the imageshown on the screen is as natural as possi-ble. This may cause some objects on thescreen to “lean,” which is normal.
Ambient lighting conditionsThe camera automatically monitors the ambi-ent lighting conditions behind the vehicle andconstantly adjusts sensitivity to light. Thismay cause the brightness and quality of theimage on the screen to vary slightly. Sensitiv-ity to light is increased in dark conditions or inbad weather, which may affect image quality. If the image on the screen seems too dark, brightness can be increased with the thumbwheel on the lighting panel.
NOTE
In order to function properly, the camera lens should always be kept clean. This isparticularly important in bad weather.Keep the lens free of dirt, ice or snow.

Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)*
04
200* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
BLIS is an information system that indicates the presence of another vehicle moving in thesame direction as your vehicle on roads withseveral lanes. The system helps provide infor-mation 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.

• Other vehicles in your door mirrors' "blind area"
• Vehicles that are passing your vehicle When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a passing vehicle in zone 2, the indicator light inthe door panel will glow steadily. If the driverthen uses the turn signal on the side on whichthe warning is given, the indicator light willflash and become brighter.
WARNING
•
BLIS does not function in sharp curves.
• BLIS does not function when yourvehicle is backing up.
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)

Park assist/CTA button
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 limited and approaching vehicles cannot be detecteduntil they are too close:
