Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) *
The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) reads road signs and adapts the vehicle's maximum speedto the posted speed limits.
The Speed Limiter function can be switched to Automatic Speed Limiter.
Is SL or ASL active?Symbols in the instrument panel indicate whichfunction is active:
SymbolSLASL
A✓✓
Sign symbol B
after "70": ASL is acti-
vated.
✓
AWHITE symbol: the function is active, GRAY symbol: the func- tion is in standby mode.
B See the section "ASL symbol" below for an explanation of thesymbol's different colors.
ASL symbol
A road sign symbol (next to the stored speed in the center of the speedome-ter) can be displayed in three differentcolors as explained in the following
table:
Road sign
symbol's colorExplanation
Green/yellowASL is active
GrayASL is in standby mode
Amber/orangeASL is temporarily in standby mode (e.g., because a speedlimit sign could not be read)
LimitationsAdjusting a set speed is done first when the vehi- cle passes a speed limit sign. If a speed limit signcannot be read (e.g., because it is twisted, dam-aged, faded, dirty, covered by snow, etc.) ASL willgo into standby mode because the system willnot have "seen" the speed posted on the sign(SL will activate). The driver will have to react andadapt the vehicle's speed. ASL will reactivatewhen the vehicle passes a speed limit sign thatthe system can read.

Changing tolerance for the Automatic Speed Limiter
Posted speed limit toleranceASL can be set to allow the vehicle to drive a maximum of 5 mph (10 km/h) above or belowthe posted speed limit. For example, if the currentposted speed limit is 50 mph (70 km/h), thedriver can opt to allow the vehicle to drive at aspeed of 55 mph (80 km/h).
Function buttons and symbols
–Press the button (1) briefly to change
50 mph (70 km/h) to 55 mph (75 km/h) in the center of the speedometer (6).
> The vehicle will then use the selected tol- erance if the speed limit sign detected is 50 mph (70 km/h). This will continue untilthe vehicle passes a sign with a lower orhigher speed limit. The vehicle will thenadjust to the new maximum speed andthe set tolerance will be deleted from thesystem's memory. The set tolerance can be adjusted in the same way as the set Speed Limiter's setmaximum speed. If the Road Sign Information system * is
activated, the posted speed limit will be indicated by a RED marker (4) on thespeedometer's speed scale.

limitations
RSI may have difficulty reading signs that are:
• Faded
• Located in a curve
• Twisted or damaged
• Positioned high above the road
• Obstructed (by bushes, etc.)
• Partially covered by snow, ice, etc.
The camera used by RSI (and other driver sup- port systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control *)
has certain limitations. See the article "City Safety limitations" for additional information.
NOTE
RSI may perceive certain types of bicycle holders (with wiring attached to the trailerelectrical socket) as a trailer, which may resultin faulty speed limit information to the driver.

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.

DRIVER SUPPORT

307
The tone becomes constant when you are within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an object and theinnermost sensor field will be red. If there areobjects within this distance both behind and infront of the vehicle, the tone alternates betweenfront 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 or can be adjusted in the Setting menu.
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). The distance monitored along the sides of thevehicle 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 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.
