Front/rear park assist*
06
160* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Front/rear park assist
The park assist system is designed to assist you when driving into parking spaces,garages, etc. It utilizes four ultrasound sen-sors located in one or both bumpers to meas-ure the distance to a vehicle, object, or a per-son who may be close to the front or rear ofyour vehicle. Park assist is available in two versions:
• Rear bumper only
• Front and rear bumpers
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT a safety system. This system is designedto be a supplementary aid when parkingthe vehicle. It is not, however, intended toreplace the driver's attention and judge-ment.
Function
The system is activated automatically when the vehicle is started. The indicator light in thebutton in the center console illuminates. • The front park assist system is active from the time the engine is started untilthe vehicle exceeds a speed of approxi-mately 10 mph (15 km/h). It is also activewhen the vehicle is backing up.
• Rear park assist is active when the engineis running and reverse gear has beenselected.
Rear park assistThe distance monitored behind the vehicle is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The signal comesfrom 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.
NOTE
Rear park assist is deactivated automati- cally when towing a trailer if Volvo genuinetrailer wiring is used.
Front park assistThe 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 auxili- ary headlights and front park assist sincethese lights could trigger the system'ssensors.
Activating/deactivating park assist
The system is activated automatically when the vehicle is started.
• Press the Park assist button on the center console (see page 65) to temporarilydeactivate the system(s). The indicatorlight in the button will go out when thesystem has been deactivated.

Tire Sealing System
07
192* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
Certain models are equipped with a tire seal- ing system* that enables you to temporarilyseal a hole in the tread surface and re-inflatea flat tire, or to adjust a tire’s inflation pres-sure. The system consists of an air compressor, a container for the sealing compound, wiring toconnect the system to the vehicle’s electricalsystem via one of the 12-volt sockets, and ahose used to connect the system to the tire’sinflation valve.
NOTE
The tire sealing system's compressor has been tested and approved by Volvo.
The 12-volt sockets are located on the rear side of the center console (in the rear seat)and in the cargo area.
Accessing the tire sealing systemThe tire sealing system is stowed under thefloor of the cargo area. To access it:
1. Fold up or remove any protective floor
covering or carpet.
2. Open the floor hatch.
3. Lift out the tire sealing system.
NOTE
• The tire sealing system is only intended to seal holes on the tire’stread area, not the sidewall.
• Tires with large holes or tears cannotbe repaired with the tire sealing sys-tem.
• After use, stow the tire sealing systemproperly to help prevent rattling.
WARNING
•After using the tire sealing system, the vehicle should not be driven fartherthan approximately 120 miles (200km).
• Have the tire inspected by a trainedand qualified Volvo service technicianas soon as possible to determine if itcan be permanently repaired or mustbe replaced.
• The vehicle should not be driven fasterthan 50 mph (80 km/h) while using atire that has been temporarily repairedwith the tire sealing system.
• After using the tire sealing system,drive carefully and avoid abrupt steer-ing maneuvers and sudden stops.

channels will be displayed as 93.9 – 2 WNYC, 93.9 - 3 WNYC, etc.
• Reception coverage area
: Due to cur-
rent IBOC transmitter power limitations,the reception coverage area in digitalmode is somewhat more limited than thestation's analogue coverage area. Pleasebe aware that as with any radio broadcasttechnology, terrain, time of day, foliagelevel and building location can have posi-tive or negative effects on radio recep-tion.
• Analogue to digital/digital to analogue blending
: Analogue to digital blending
will occur as the signal strength reaches a preset threshold in the receiver. This willbe noticeable in fringe areas (areas withweak reception) and is normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in sound quality when a change from ana-logue to digital or digital to analogueoccurs, such as:
• Volume increase or decrease
• Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Mid- range/Treble cut or boost
• Time alignment (Digital program mate-rial in extreme cases can be as muchas 8 seconds behind the analogue).This will noticeable as a "stuttering"effect.
The above items are dependant on the broadcaster's equipment settings and do not indicate a fault in the vehicle's radio receiver or antenna systems .
Switching HD on or offThe factory setting for HD radio is on. How-
ever, when driving through areas with weak HD signals (fringe areas), you may experiencethat the radio repeatedly switches betweenanalogue/digital and digital/analogue recep-tion. If this happens, it may be desirable toswitch HD off. To do so:
1. Be sure the audio system is switched on and in AM or FM mode.
2. Press MENU in the center console con-
trol panel. 3. Press
ENTER to turn HD off (the X will
disappear from the box on the display screen).
This will disable the radio's capability to receive digital broadcasts but it will continueto function as a conventional (analogue)AM/FM receiver. Please note that when HD isswitched off, it will not be possible to tune tosub-channels (see the following section for amore detailed explanation of sub-channels). Repeat steps 2 and 3 above to reactivate HD (an X will appear in the box on the displayscreen).

In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM wavebands only) will also have sub-channelsoffering additional types of programming ormusic. In such cases, a number will be displayed to the right of the frequency number indicatingthat the currently tuned frequency has at leastone sub-channel. The "2" in the illustrationindicates that you are currently listening tothe first sub-channel on frequency 93.9.
Selecting sub-channelsTo listen to a station's sub-channel(s), press the right arrow key on the center console oron the steering wheel keypad. To go back tothe main channel, press the left arrow key. Togo to subchannel 2 (if available), press theright arrow key. If you are currently tuned to a frequency's main channel, pressing the left arrow key willtune to the next lower radio frequency.
NOTE
•When the radio has gone into HD mode, it may take several secondsbefore the ">" symbol (if the currentfrequency has any sub-channels) isdisplayed to the right of the frequency.Pressing the arrow keys before thenumber is displayed will cause theradio to tune to the next available radiostation, not to the current station'ssub-channels.
• When you are no longer in broadcast-ing range of the currently tuned
sub-
channel ,
No HD reception will be
displayed. The radio will then be muted and it will be necessary to tuneto or search for a new radio station.
Sub-channels can also be stored as presets, see page 258 for information on storing sta-tions. If you press a sub-channel's preset button, it may take up to 6 seconds before the channel
becomes audible. If you press this buttonwhile you are out of digital range of the trans- mitter,
No HD reception will be displayed.

The arrow keys on the steering wheel keypad can also be used in the same way.
NOTE
• The system supports a number of iPod ®
models produced in 2005 or

• In order to help avoid damage to the USB socket, it will be switched off ifthere is a short circuit or if the con-nected device uses too much current(which can happen if the device doesnot comply with the USB standard).The USB socket will reactivate thenext time the ignition is switched on ifthe problem no longer exists. If theproblem persists, contact a trainedand authorized Volvo service techni-cian.
USB flash driveTo simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is advisable to only store music files on thedrive. It will take considerably longer for thesystem to index the files on the drive if it con-tains anything other than compatible musicfiles.
NOTE
• The system supports removable media that uses the USB 2.0 standard andthe FAT32 file system. It can index upto 1,000 folders and a maximum of254 sub-folders/files for each folder.However, the highest folder level cansupport up to 1,000 sub-folders/files.
• When using a longer type of USBdevice, connecting it with a USBadapter cable will help reducemechanical wear on the USB socketand on the device.
