Park Assist *
The Park Assist system is designed to assist you
when driving into parking spaces, garages, etc. An audible signal and symbols in the instrumentpanel and center display indicate the distance tothe object.
Display view showing object zones and sensor sectors
The center display shows an overview of the vehi- cle in relation to objects that have been detected. The highlighted sector shows which of the sen- sors has detected the object. The closer the vehi-cle symbol is to the highlighted sector, the closerthe actual object is to your vehicle. The Park Assist system uses an intermittent tone that pulses faster as you come closer to anobject. Sound from the infotainment system willbe temporarily turned down. The tone becomes constant when you are withinapproximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an object and theactive sensor fields will be completely filled in. Ifthere are objects within this distance both behindand in front of the vehicle, the tone alternatesbetween front and rear speakers. While an audible signal is being given, its volume level can be raised/lowered using the
>II control
in the center console.
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT a safety system. This system is designed to bea supplementary aid when parking the vehicle.It is not, however, intended to replace the driv-er's attention and judgement.
Rear park assist
The system's rear sensors are activated automat- ically when the engine is started and are active ifthe vehicle rolls rearward with the gear selector in N or if R has been selected.
The distance monitored behind the vehicle is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signalcomes from the rear speakers. The rear sensors will be deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine trailer wir-ing is used. If a non-Volvo trailer hitch is beingused, it may be necessary to switch off the sys-tem manually.
Side park assist
The system's side sensors are activated automat- ically when the engine is started and are active atspeeds below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.293
The distance monitored along the sides of the vehicle is approximately 1 ft (0.3 m). The audiblesignal comes from the side speakers.
Front park assist
The system's front sensors are activated auto- matically when the engine is started and areactive at speeds below approximately 6 mph(10 km/h). The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audible signalcomes from the front speakers. Front Park Assist is deactivated if the driver presses the brake pedal or if the gear selector is put in
P.
When installing auxiliary headlights, be sure that they do not obstruct the front sensors. Otherwise,these lights could trigger a Park Assist warning.

Overview
Blind Spot Information indicators
Indicator light
Blind Spot Information symbol
The indicator light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the system has detected anothervehicle. If your vehicle is passed on both sides atthe same time, both lights will illuminate.
Principle for Blind Spot Information: Zone 1. Blind area, Zone 2. Area for approaching/passing vehicles
Blind Spot Information functions when your vehi- cle is moving at speeds above approx. 6 mph(10 km/h). Blind Spot Information is designed to react to:
• vehicles that are passing your vehicle
• other vehicles that are rapidly approaching your vehicle
When Blind Spot Information detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a fast-approaching vehicle in zone 2,the indicator light in the respective door mirrorwill glow steadily. If the driver then uses the turn signal on the side on which the warning is given, the indicator lightwill begin flashing and become brighter.
WARNING
• Blind Spot Information does not function in sharp curves.
• Blind Spot Information does not functionwhen your vehicle is backing up.

Driving lane assistance
The
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane
Keeping Aid (LKA) * functions are designed to
help reduce the risk of accidents in situations where the vehicle unintentionally leaves its laneon highways or other major roads.
Driving lane assistance systems: LDW or
LKA
There are two versions of the driving lane assis- tance system:
• LDW (
Lane Departure Warning): provides
an audible signal or vibrations in the steering wheel.
• LKA (
Lane Keeping Aid): actively steers the
vehicle to help keep it in its traffic lane and/or alerts the driver using an audible sig-nal or through vibrations in the steeringwheel.
The driving lane assistance systems are active at speeds from approx. 40 mph (65 km/h) up to thevehicle's permitted top speed on roads withclearly visible traffic lane marker lines. On narrow roads, the systems may not function and will go into standby mode. They will return toactive mode if the road becomes sufficientlywide.
A camera monitors the road/traffic lane's marker lines
Both LDW and LKA provide vibrations in the steering wheel 9
LKA attempts to steer the vehicle back into its lane
Depending on the version and settings used, driving lane assistance functions in differentways:
• If the system is activated (either LDW or LKA): if the driver does not react and thevehicle is moving out of its traffic lane, anaudible signal and/or vibrations in the steer-ing wheel will be provided.
• If the system is activated (LKA only): whenthe vehicle approaches a traffic lane markerline, LKA will provide active steering assis-tance to help steer it back into the lane.
9
The level of vibrations varies; the longer the vehicle is over a lane marker line, the greater the number of vibrations:

NOTE
If the turn signal is used, neither of the driving lane assistance systems (LDW or LKA) willprovide an alert or steering assistance.
WARNING
This feature is only intended to assist the driver and does not function in all driving,weather, traffic or road conditions. As the driver, you have full responsibility for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
Steering assistance (LKA only)In order for LKA's steering assistance to function, the driver's hands must be on the steering wheel,which the system monitors continuously.
If this is not the case, this sym-bol will illuminate in the instru- ment panel and
Lane Keeping
Aid Apply steering will appear
to alert the driver to actively steer the vehicle.
If the driver does not take action, an audible sig- nal will sound and LKA will go into standby mode.The function will not become available again untilthe driver actively steers the vehicle.
Dynamic cornering
The traffic lane assistance systems do not intervene in sharp curves
In certain cases, such as during active driving or if the turn signal is used, neither of the traffic lanesystems will react if the vehicle crosses a lanemarker line.
LimitationsIn certain demanding driving situations, the driv-ing lane assistance functions may not be able toassist the driver. In these situations, it may beadvisable to turn the function off. Examples of these situations: • road construction
• poor road surfaces
• edges or lines other than the lane's marker lines
• a very active driving style •
winter driving conditions
• bad weather with reduced visibility
The driving lane assistance function use the vehi- cle's camera, which has general limitations. Seethe article "Camera limitations."
