Road Sign Information (RSI) *
RSI is a feature that helps the driver see road signs showing the posted speed limit.
Examples of readable road signs
If the vehicle passes a sign showing the speed limit, this will be displayed in the instrument panel and the head-up display *.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with the Sensus Navigation system, speed-related informationis provided by this system in the followinginstances:
• In cases where the speed limit is givenindirectly (e.g., when driving on highwaysor other major roads).
• If a previously read speed limit sign is nolonger considered valid and no new signhas been passed.
If a third-party navigation system is beingused, RSI has no support for speed-relatedinformation.
WARNING
RSI does not function in all situations and is only intended to provide supplementary infor-mation. The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle safely.

Driving lane assistance provides vibrations in the steer- ing wheel7
.
Depending on the settings used, Lane Keeping Aid functions in different ways:
• Assistance type
Assist8
is activated: when
the vehicle approaches a traffic lane marker line, LKA will provide active steering assis-tance to help steer it back into the lane.
• Assistance type
Warning8
is activated: if the
vehicle is moving out of its traffic lane, an audible signal and/or vibrations in the steer-ing wheel will be provided.
NOTE
If the turn signal is used, Lane Keeping Aid will not provide an alert or steering assis-
tance.
WARNING
Lane Keeping Aid 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 assistanceIn order for LKA's steering assistance to function, the driver's hands must be on the steering wheel,which the system monitors continuously.
If the driver's hands are not onthe steering wheel, this symbolwill illuminate in the instrumentpanel and the following mes-sage will be displayed:
•Lane Keeping Aid – Apply steering
If the driver does not begin to steer the vehicle, the symbol will illuminate again, an audible signal will sound and the following message will be dis-played:
•
Lane Keeping Aid – Standby until
steering applied
If the driver still does not begin to steer the vehi- cle, LKA will go into standby mode. The functionwill not become available again until the driveractively steers the vehicle
Traffic lane assistance does not react
The traffic lane assistance system does not intervene in sharp curves
In certain cases, such as during active driving or if the turn signal is used, the traffic lane system will not react if the vehicle crosses a lane marker
line.
7 The level of vibrations varies; the farther the vehicle is over a lane marker line, the greater the number of vibrations:
8 See "Type of assistance" in the article "Activating/deactivating Lane Keeping Aid".

Driving lane assistance symbols and messages
A number of symbols and messages relating to Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) may appear in theinstrument panel.
Symbols in the instrument panelThe driving lane assistance systems use a symbol in theinstrument panel in differentsituations.
Several examples of the symbol's appearance will be given here:
Available
When the driving lane assistance systems are available,
the marker lines in the symbol will be white.
LKA are monitoring the driving lane's marker line(s).
Not available
When the driving lane assistance systems are not avail-
able, the marker lines in the symbol will be gray
This is because LKA cannot monitor (detect) the driving lane's marker line(s) or the vehicle'sspeed is too low or the road is too narrow.
Steering/warning indicator
Steering/warning: the side marker lines in the symbol will be colored
LKA indicates that the system is warning and/or attempting to steer the vehicle back into its lane.

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.

2: Backing into the parking space
Parallel parking
Perpendicular parking
When the vehicle is backing up, PAP will steer it into the parking space. Do as follows:
1. Check that the area behind the vehicle isclear and put the gear selector in R.
2. Back up slowly without moving the steering wheel. The vehicle's speed must be below approximately 4 mph (7 km/h).
3. Keep an eye on the instrument panel and be prepared to stop the vehicle when you areinstructed by PAP to do so.
NOTE
• Release the wheel while PAP is steering the vehicle.
• The steering wheel must be able to turnfreely.
• For PAP to function optimally, wait untilthe steering wheel is no longer turningbefore beginning the next phase of theparking procedure.

Starting and driving The vehicle is equipped with features that sup- plement its basic functions, such as shifting gears with steering wheel paddles *.
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.

• Ignition modes (p. 389)
• Automatic transmission (p. 414)
• Opening/closing the fuel filler door (p. 380)
• Parking brake (p. 369)
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.
WARNING
If the vehicle does not have electrical current and both the electric motor and gasolineengine are switched off, the brakes cannot beused to stop the vehicle.
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 is carrying a heavy load, using brake mode B to
augment the brakes or the
Off Road* drive mode can also be used 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.
Function check when the engine is
started
A Plug-in Hybrid is equipped with a "brake bywire" brake system. A function check is per-formed each time the engine is started and thedriver depresses the brake pedal to move the gear selector from P.
In certain cases, a message may appear in the instrument panel saying that pressure on thebrake pedal is too low. Press harder on the pedal.
Light braking charges the hybrid batteryWhen the brakes are applied lightly, the electricmotor's braking function is used, which converts
