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 thehighlighted sector is to the vehicle symbol, thecloser the 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 audible signals for objects in front of and tothe sides are active while the vehicle is movingand will stop after the vehicle has been stoppedfor approx. 2 seconds. The audible signals forobjects behind the vehicle are active even whenthe vehicle has stopped moving. The audible signal becomes constant when you are within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an objectand the highlighted sensor field is filled in. While an audible signal is being given, its volume level can be raised/lowered using the
>II control
in the center console or can be adjusted in the center displays Top view under
Settings.
NOTE
Audible alerts will only be provided for objects that are directly in the vehicle's path.
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.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.337
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). The distance monitored along the sides of the vehicle is approximately 1 ft (30 cm). 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 (80 cm). The audible signalcomes from the front speakers. Front Park Assist is deactivated if the parking brake is applied 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.

Backing up
Location of the rear Park Assist Camera (generic illus- tration)
The rear camera shows a wide area behind the vehicle and on certain models, part of the bumperand the trailer hitch (if installed) will be visible. Some objects on the screen may appear to “lean” slightly, which is normal.
WARNING
People/objects/obstructions displayed on the center console screen may be closer to thevehicle than they appear.
Front camera
Location of the front Park Assist Camera (generic illus- tration)
The front camera is located behind the grill and can be useful when driving off in areas with lim-ited visibility (hedges, bushes, etc). It is active atspeeds up to approx. 16 mph (25 km/h) and isautomatically turned off when the vehicleexceeds this speed. However, if the vehicle's speed does not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) and its speed goes under14 mph (22 km/h) within 60 seconds after thecamera has been switched off, the front camerawill reactivate.
NOTE
The front camera will only reactivate automati- cally if Auto Camera Reverse Activation
has been selected in SettingsMy CarPark Assist.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP) *
Park Assist Pilot (PAP) helps the driver drive into parallel or perpendicular parking spaces andleave parallel parking spaces.
Park Assist Pilot provides assistance when park- ing by measuring the parking space and turningthe steering wheel to guide the vehicle into thespace. Information about the actions required by the driver is provided in the center display in the formof symbols, images and text.
NOTE
While PAP is active, the driver's task is to:
• carefully monitor the area around the vehicle
• follow the instructions provided in thecenter display
• select a gear (
D or R) when prompted
• regulate the vehicle's speed
• apply the brakes when necessary andstop the vehicle
Types of parking
Parallel parking
Procedure for parallel parking
PAP helps park the vehicle as follows:
1. The system searches for and measures a
possible parking space. While this is being done, the vehicle's speed may not exceedapprox. 20 mph ( 30 km/h). When backinginto a space, the speed may not exceedapprox. 4 mph ( 7 km/h).
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space. The driver controls thevehicle's speed.
3. The vehicle's position in the parking space is adjusted by prompting the driver to move for-ward and rearward while the system steers.

350 adjusted by driving slightly forward and backing up. 1.
Put the gear selector in D, wait until the
steering wheel has turned and drive forward slowly.
2. Stop the vehicle when you are instructed by PAP to do so.
3. Put the gear selector in R, back up slowly
and stop when you are instructed by PAP todo so.
When the parking procedure is finished (this willbe indicated by a text message and a graphicimage), PAP switches off automatically. If neces-sary, the driver may need to make minor adjust-ments to ensure that the vehicle is parked cor-rectly.
CAUTION
The warning distance is shorter when PAP is using the sensors than when Park Assist isusing them.
Leaving a parking spaceThis function can only be used for a vehicle that has been par-
allel parked and is activated in
the center display's Function view.
1. Tap the Park out button in the center display's
Function view. 2. Use the turn signal to indicate the direction in which the vehicle should leave the parking space. 3. Follow the instructions provided in the center display. The procedure is the same as when park-ing the vehicle. The steering wheel may turn back slightly when the function is completed and the driver mayhave to turn the back before leaving the parkingspace. If PAP determines that the driver can leave the parking space without assistance, the functionwill deactivate before the vehicle is completelyout of the space.

The PAP function may be limited in certain situa- tions.
The PAP parking sequence is cancelledA parking sequence will be cancelled:
• if the vehicle is driven too fast: above approx. 4 mph (7 km/h)
• if the driver taps
Cancel in the center display
• if the driver moves the steering wheel with sufficient force.
• if the anti-lock brakes or Electronic StabilityControl are activated (e.g., if a wheel beginsto spin or lose traction)
In such cases, a text message will explain whythe parking sequence was cancelled.
NOTE
• PAP will not function correctly if its sen- sors are obstructed by dirt, snow, etc.
• In certain situations, PAP may not be ableto measure a parking space. This couldbe due to external sources of sound (e.g.,a vehicle's horn, tires on wet asphalt,pneumatic brakes, noise from a motorcy-cle's exhaust, etc.) emitting ultrasoundusing approximately the same frequen-cies as PAP.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
354
Starting and driving The vehicle is equipped with features that sup- plement its basic functions, such as shifting gears with steering wheel paddles * and the fuel-
conserving start/stop function.
The vehicle is equipped with an automatic trans- mission that also makes it possible to shift gearsmanually. Certain functions can also be used when the engine is not running, depending on the ignitionmode being used.

Brakes The brake system is a hydraulic system consist- ing of two separate brake circuits. If a problemshould occur in one of these circuits, it is stillpossible to stop the vehicle with the other brakecircuit.
Brake systemIf one of the brake circuits is not functioning, more pressure will be needed on the brake pedal(and the pedal will go down farther) for normalbraking effect. If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pressure,the stopping distance will be longer. Pressure on the brake pedal is enhanced by the power braking function. The power brakes only function when the engine is running. If the power brakes are not working, considerably higher pressure will be required on the brakepedal to compensate for the lack of power assis-tance. This can happen for example when towingyour vehicle or if the engine is switched off whenthe vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels stifferthan usual. When the Hill Start Assist function is being used, it will take slightly longer for the brake pedal toreturn to its normal position if the vehicle isparked on an incline or uneven surface. When driving in very hilly areas or if the vehicle iscarrying a heavy load, manual gear shifting canbe used for engine braking to augment the brakes. Use the
Off Road*
drive mode on steep
downgrades to increase the engine braking effect at low speeds.
Anti-lock Braking System ABS
The ABS system helps to improve vehicle control (stopping and steering) during severe brakingconditions by limiting brake lockup. When ABS is operating, there may be some vibration in the brake pedal, which is normal. The system performs a brief self-diagnostic test when the engine has been started and driverreleases the brake pedal. Another automatic testmay be performed when the vehicle first reachesa speed of approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). Thebrake pedal will pulsate several times and asound may be audible from the ABS controlmodule, which is normal.
Cleaning the brake discsCoatings of dirt and water on the brake discsmay result in delayed brake function. This delay isminimized by cleaning the brake linings. Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet weather, prior to long-term parking, and after thevehicle has been washed. Do this by braking gen-tly for a short period while the vehicle is moving.

Brake functions
The vehicle's standard braking features are aug- mented by a number of auxiliary help functions.
In addition to the wheel brakes and the parking brake, the vehicle is equipped with several auto-matic brake assist functions. These systems helpthe driver by e.g., keeping the vehicle stationarywhen the brake pedal is not depressed (at a traf-fic light or intersection), when starting up a hill orwhen driving down a hill. These systems include: • Auto-hold brakes
• Hill Start Assist
• Braking assist after a collision
• Hill Descent Control

Auto-hold brake function
With the Auto-hold brake function, the driver can release the brake pedal and the brakes willremain applied, for example, when the vehiclehas stopped at a traffic light or intersection.
When the vehicle is no longer moving forward, Auto-hold applies the brakes automatically, eitherusing the normal brakes or the parking brake.The brakes will be released when the acceleratorpedal is depressed. If the driver's door is opened or the engine is turned off, the parking brake will be applied auto-matically. Auto-hold is deactivated when the transmission is in neutral or if the driver's door is open and theseat belt is unbuckled.
