Driver Alert Control
The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function is designed to help capture the driver becomeaware of erratic behavior, e.g. if the driver is dis-tracted or showing signs of fatigue.
The objective of DAC is to detect slowly deterio- rating driving behavior and is primarily intended tobe used on major roads. The function is notintended for use in city traffic. DAC is activated when the vehicle's speed exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph) and remains activeas long as speeds are above 60 km/h (37 mph).
A camera monitors the traffic lane's marker lines and compares the direction of the road with thedriver's movements of the steering wheel.
If the driving behavior becomes noticeably erratic, the driver willbe alerted by this symbol in theinstrument panel and the mes- sage
Time for a break
soon?.
If driving behavior does not improve but instead becomes even more erratic, the driver will bealerted by the same symbol in the instrument panel, an audible signal and the message
Time
for a break.
If the Rest Stop Guidance function is activated
in Sensus Navigation * when the Time for a
break warning is given, suggestions will also be
provided for suitable places to take a break.

Park Assist front, rear and sides
Park Assist has different parameters depending on which part of the vehicle is approaching anobstacle.
Back
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle begins rolling backward or if reverse gear isengaged. The distance monitored begins approx. 1.5 meters (5 feet) behind the vehicle. The rear sensors will be automatically deactivated if the vehicle is backing up with a trailer attached.
NOTE
When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike car- rier on the trailer hitch – without Volvo originaltrailer cables – the Parking Assist system mayhave to be turned off manually to prevent thesensors from reacting to these.
Side sensors
Park Assist's side sensors are automatically acti- vated when the engine is started. They are activeat speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph). The distance monitored begins approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the sides. The audible signal for obsta-cles along the sides of the vehicle is emittedfrom the side speakers.
Front camera
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
Park Assist's front sensors are automatically acti- vated when the engine is started. The front sen-sors are active at speeds below 10 km/h(6 mph). The distance monitored begins approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.
NOTE
The Parking Assist system is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or when P
is selected on vehicles with automatic trans- mission.

Park Assist limitations
Park Assist may not be able to detect all condi- tions in all situations and functionality may there-fore be limited in certain cases.
The driver should be aware of the following limi- tations for Park Assist:
WARNING
Be extra cautious when reversing if this symbol isshown when a trailer, bikecarrier or similar is attachedand electrically connectedto the vehicle. The symbol indicates that
the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-
vated and will not warn of any obstacles.

CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy poles or low obstacles may end up in the "signalshadow" and then go temporarily undetectedby the sensors – the pulsating tone may thenunexpectedly stop instead of becoming aconstant tone as expected. The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as protruding ramps.
• In such situations, pay extra attention andmaneuver/drive the vehicle very slowly orstop the current parking maneuver –there may be a high risk of damage tothe vehicle or other objects since infor-mation from the sensors is not alwaysreliable in such situations.
CAUTION
In some circumstances, the Park Assist Sys- tem may produce false warnings due to exter-nal sound sources with the same ultrasonicfrequencies as those the system works with. Examples of such sources are horns, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noisefrom motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with the vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch pro-trusion is included when the function meas-ures the distance to objects behind the vehi-cle.

Park Assist Camera trajectory lines
The Park Assist Camera uses trajectory lines and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle'sposition in relation to its immediate surround-ings.
Example 121
of trajectory lines.
The trajectory lines show the anticipated trajec- tory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions basedon the current position of the steering wheel to help simplify parallel parking, backing into tightspaces or attaching a trailer. The lines on the screen are projected as if they were painted lines on the ground behind thevehicle and are directly affected by the way inwhich the steering wheel is turned. This enablesthe driver to see path the vehicle will take, even ifhe/she turns the steering wheel. These lines also indicate the outermost limits that any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, corners ofthe body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle.
NOTE
•
When reversing with a trailer that is not electrically connected to the vehicle, thescreen guide lines show the path the vehicle
will take – not the trailer.
• The screen does not show guide lines when a trailer is electrically connected tothe vehicle's electrical system.
• Guide lines are not shown when zoomingin.

CAUTION
•Bear in mind that when the rearward camera view is selected, the screen onlyshows the area behind the vehicle – payattention to the sides and front of thevehicle when steering while reversing.
• The same applies to the reverse – payattention to what is happening with therear parts of the vehicle when the frontcamera view is selected.
• Note that the guide lines show the
short-
est path – pay extra attention to ensure
that the vehicle sides do not come incontact with/travel over anything whensteering while driving forward or that thevehicle front moves toward/over anythingwhen steering while reversing.
Trajectory lines in 360° view *
360° view with trajectory lines121
.
In the 360° view, trajectory lines are shown behind, in front of, or to the sides of the vehicle,depending on the direction of travel.
• When driving forward: Front lines
• When backing up: Side lines and rear lines.
When the front or rear camera is selected, thetrajectory lines will be shown regardless of thevehicle's direction of travel. With a side camera selected, the trajectory lines will only be shown if the vehicle is backing up.

The camera can help make hitching a trailer eas- ier by showing an anticipated trajectory line for the towbar's path toward the trailer.

Starting the Park Assist Camera
The Park Assist Camera starts automatically when reverse gear is engaged or can be startedmanually using one of the center display's func-tion buttons.

.
Camera view when manually starting
the camera
Start the Park Assist Camera using this button in the centerdisplay's Function view. The screen will first show the most recently used cameraview. However, each time the
engine is started, the previous side view will bereplaced by the 360° view and a previously dis-played zoomed-in rear view will be replaced bythe regular rear view.
Automatically deactivating the cameraFront view switches off when the vehicle's speed reaches 25 km/h (16 mph) to help avoid dis-tracting the driver. It will be automatically reactiva-ted if the vehicle's speed falls below 22 km/h(14 mph) within 1 minute as long as the vehicle'sspeed has not exceeded 50 km/h (31 mph). Other camera views switch off at 15 km/h(9 mph) and are not reactivated.
