* Option/accessory.
324 The driver is responsible for ensuring that
the vehicle maintains a suitable distance
from such obstacles.
• The camera and radar sensors do not
have the capacity to detect all oncoming
objects and obstacles in traffic environ-
ments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstacles
or objects that completely or partially
block the route.
• Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,
animals, etc.
• The recommended steering input is lim-
ited in force, which means that it cannot
always help the driver to steer and keep
the vehicle within the lane.
• Pilot Assist is switched off if the power
steering is working with reduced power -
e.g. during cooling due to overheating
(see section "Speed-dependent steering
force").
The driver can always correct or adjust steering
assistance provided by Pilot Assist by turning the
steering wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsPilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven on
flat roads. The function may not be able to main-
tain the correct time interval to the vehicle ahead
when driving down steep hills. The driver should be extra attentive and prepared to apply the
brakes.
• Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carry-
ing a heavy load or towing a trailer.
NOTE Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer,
bike carrier or similar is connected to the
vehicle electrical system.
Other limitations
•
The
Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE The function uses the vehicle's camera unit,
which has some general limitations – see the
section "Camera unit limitations".
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar unit,
which has some general limitations – see the
section "Radar unit limitations".

Cause
Action
Water or snow is spraying/swirling up and blocking the radar signals or
the camera's range of visibility. No action. Very wet or snow-covered roads may sometimes prevent the cam-\
era/radar sensor from functioning.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar
sensor. Consult a workshop to have the area of the windshield on the inside of t\
he cam-
era's casing cleaned. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTEKeep the windshield in front of the camera
and radar unit clean.
Vehicle speedThe radar sensor's ability to detect a vehicle
ahead is significantly reduced if:
• the speed of the vehicle ahead differs greatly
from your vehicle's speed
Limited field of visionThe radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In
some situations, it may detect a vehicle later than
expected or not at all. The radar sensor's field of vision.
The radar sensor's detection of vehicles very
close to your vehicle may be delayed in cer-
tain situations, e.g. if a vehicle pulls inbetween your vehicle and the vehicle directly
ahead. Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehi-
cles that are not driving in the center of the
lane may remain undetected.
In curves, the radar may detect the wrong
vehicle or lose sight of a target vehicle.
Low trailers
Low trailer in the radar shadow.
Low trailers may also be difficult or even impossi-
ble for the radar to detect. The driver should be
extra alert when driving behind vehicles towing
low trailers when Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot
Assist is activated.

Park Assist Camera views
PAC can display a 360° panoramic view as well
as separate views for each of the other cameras:
rear, front, left and right.
360° view* The location of the cameras and their approximate fields
of vision.
The 360° view function activates all Park Assist
Cameras and all four sides of the vehicle are
shown in the center display at once to help the
driver see what is around the vehicle while
maneuvering at low speeds.
From the 360° view, each camera view can be
activated separately:
• Tap the screen to select the camera's field of
vision, e.g. in the area in front/above the front
camera. The active cameras will be indi-
cated by a camera symbol on
the vehicle symbol in the center
display.
If the vehicle is equipped with
Park Assist System*, the dis-
tance to detected obstacles will be illustrated by
fields in different colors. The cameras can be activated automatically or
manually. See "Starting the Park Assist Camera"
for more information.
Back
The rear camera
119
is located above the license plate.
The rear camera shows a wide area behind the
vehicle. On certain models, part of the bumper
and the towbar (if installed) may be visible. Objects on the center display may appear to be
leaning slightly. This is normal.
Front camera
The front Park Assist Camera
120
is located in the grille.
The front camera can be useful when pulling out
from areas with limited visibility, such as a drive-
way surrounded by a hedge. The front camera is
active at speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph) and is
automatically turned off when the vehicle
exceeds this speed.
If the vehicle does not reach a speed of 50 km/h
(30 mph) and speed falls below 22 km/h
(14 mph) within 1 minute after the front camera
turns off, the camera will be reactivated. 119

are located in the rearview mirrors.
The side cameras can show views along each
side of the vehicle.
Related information
• Park Assist Camera* (p. 386) Park Assist Camera trajectory lines
The Park Assist Camera uses trajectory lines
and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle's
position 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 based
on the current position of the steering wheel to help simplify parallel parking, backing into tight
spaces or attaching a trailer.
The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were painted lines on the ground behind the
vehicle and are directly affected by the way in
which the steering wheel is turned. This enables
the driver to see path the vehicle will take, even if
he/she turns the steering wheel.
These lines also indicate the outermost limits that
any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, corners of
the body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle.
NOTE
•
When reversing with a trailer that is not
electrically connected to the vehicle, the
screen 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 to
the vehicle's electrical system.
• Guide lines are not shown when zooming
in. 120

CAUTION•
Bear in mind that when the rearward
camera view is selected, the screen only
shows the area behind the vehicle – pay
attention to the sides and front of the
vehicle when steering while reversing.
• The same applies to the reverse – pay
attention to what is happening with the
rear parts of the vehicle when the front
camera 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 in
contact with/travel over anything when
steering while driving forward or that the
vehicle front moves toward/over anything
when steering while reversing.Trajectory lines in 360° view* 360° view with trajectory lines

.
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, the
trajectory lines will be shown regardless of the
vehicle's direction of travel.
With a side camera selected, the trajectory lines
will only be shown if the vehicle is backing up.Trajectory lines for a towbar* Towbar with trajectory line

400 Park Assist Pilot* limitations
Park Assist Pilot PAP 127
may not be able to
detect all conditions in all situations and func-
tionality may therefore be limited.
WARNING •
The PAP function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving and
help make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and road
conditions.
• Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.
• Bear in mind that the front end of the
vehicle may swing out towards oncoming
traffic during the parking maneuver.
• Objects situated higher than the detec-
tion area of the sensors are not included
when the parking maneuver is calculated,
which could cause PAP to swing into the
parking space too early. Such parking
spaces should be avoided for this reason.
• PAP is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
The driver should be aware of the following limi-
tations for Park Assist Pilot:The parking sequence is cancelledA parking sequence will be cancelled if:
• the driver moves the steering wheel
• the vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h (4 mph)
• the driver taps
Cancel in the center display
• when the anti-lock brakes or the Electronic
stability control are engaged - e.g. when a
wheel loses grip on a slippery road
• when the power steering works at reduced
power - e.g. during cooling due to overheat-
ing (see section "Speed-dependent steering
force").
A message in the center display will explain why
the parking sequence was cancelled.
CAUTION Under certain circumstances, PAP may not be
able to find parking spaces – one reason may
be that the sensors are disrupted by external
sound sources that emit the same ultrasonic
frequencies that the system works with.
Examples of such sources include horns, wet
tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust
noise from motorcycles, etc.
