Park Assist Camera* (p. 396) Starting the Park Assist Camera
The Park Assist Camera starts automatically
when reverse gear is engaged or can be started
manually using one of the center display's func-
tion buttons.
Camera view when backing upWhen reverse gear is engaged, the screen shows
the rear view 121
.
Camera view when manually starting
the camera
Start the Park Assist Camera
using this button in the center
display's Function view.
The screen will first show the
most recently used camera
view. However, each time the
engine is started, the previous side view will be
replaced by the 360° view and a previously dis-
played zoomed-in rear view will be replaced by
the 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's
speed has not exceeded 50 km/h (31 mph). Other camera views switch off at 15 km/h
(9 mph) and are not reactivated.

406 Park Assist Pilot*
Park Assist Pilot (

PAP 122
) helps the driver pull
into and out of parking spaces.
PAP first checks whether there
is sufficient space and then
steers the car into the space.
The center display uses sym-
bols, graphics and messages to
inform the driver of what steps
need to be taken and when.
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.
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.
NOTE The PAP function measures the space and
steers the vehicle – the driver's role is to:
keep close watch of the area around the
vehicle
follow the instructions on the center dis-
play
change gears (reverse/forward) – a
"ping" sound indicates when the driver
should change gears
regulate and maintain a safe speed
apply the brakes and stop.

408Parking with Park Assist Pilot
Park Assist Pilot (PAP 124
) helps the driver park
using three different steps. The function can also
help the driver pull out of a parking space.
NOTE The PAP function measures the space and
steers the vehicle – the driver's role is to:
keep close watch of the area around the
vehicle
follow the instructions on the center dis-
play
change gears (reverse/forward) – a
"ping" sound indicates when the driver
should change gears
regulate and maintain a safe speed
apply the brakes and stop. Information about the actions required by the
driver are provided in the center display using
symbols, graphics and/or text.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria have
been met after the engine is started:

No trailer is hitched to the vehicle
Your vehicle's speed is lower than 30 km/h
(20 mph).
NOTE The distance between the vehicle and parking
spots should be 0.5-1.5 meters (1.6-5.0 ft)
when PAP is looking for parking.
ParkingPAP parks the vehicle using the following steps:
1. The system searches for and measures
potential parking spaces.
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space.
3. The vehicle is positioned in the parking space (the driver may be prompted to shift
gears).
Searching for and measuring potential
parking spots
The function can be activated
in the center display's Function
view.
It can also be accessed from
the camera views. Parallel parking overview.
Perpendicular parking overview.

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.
NOTE Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
reduce their function and can make measure-
ment impossible.
Driver responsibilityThe driver should keep in mind that PAP is a
parking aid ‒ not an infallible fully automatic sys-
tem. The driver must always be prepared to take
control and cancel a parking sequence if neces-
sary.
There are a number of things to keep in mind
when parking, including:
The driver is always responsible for determin-
ing if the space suggested by PAP is suita-
ble for parking.
Do not use PAP when using snow chains or
a temporary spare tire.
Do not use PAP if there are any objects pro-
truding from the vehicle.
Heavy rain or snowfall may inhibit PAP's abil-
ity to accurately measure a parking space.
While searching and measuring the parking
space, PAP may be unable to detect objects
located far into the space.
PAP may not suggest parking spaces on
narrow streets if it does not detect sufficient
space for maneuvering the vehicle.
Use approved tires 126
inflated to the correct
tire pressure because this affects PAP's abil-
ity to provide parking assistance.
PAP's function is based on the way the vehi-
cles are parked behind and in front of your
parking space. If they are, for example,
parked too close to the curb, there is a risk
that your vehicle's tires or wheel rims could
be damaged by the curb during the parking
procedure.
Perpendicular parking spaces may not be
detected or may be suggested unnecessarily
if a parked vehicle is sticking out more than
other parked vehicles.
PAP is intended to provide parking assis-
tance on straight streets, not sections of
street with sharp curves or bends. Always
make sure that your vehicle is parallel to rel-
evant parking spaces when PAP is measur-
ing the parking space.
CAUTION Switching to another approved wheel and/or
tire dimension could change the tire circum-
ference, which would then require the PAP
system to be updated. Consult a workshop –
an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
126
"Approved tires" refers to tires of the same type and make as the vehicl\
e's original, factory-installed tires.

Brake functions (p. 438) Transmission
The transmission is part of the vehicle's driveline
(power transmission) between the engine and
the drive wheels. The function of the transmis-
sion is to change gears depending on speed
and power needs.
The vehicle has an 8-speed automatic transmis-
sion and an electric motor for rear-wheel drive.
The number of gears allows the engine's torque
and power band to be effectively utilized. Two of
the gears are overdrive gears that save fuel when
driving at a constant engine speed. The steering
wheel paddles* can be used to shift up or down
manually. The instrument panel shows the gear
currently in use.
CAUTION Check the operating temperature of the
transmission to help avoid damage to any of
the drive system components. If there is a risk
of overheating, a warning symbol will appear
in the instrument panel and a text message
will be displayed. Follow the recommenda-
tions given.

Using the steering wheel paddles*
to shift
The steering wheel paddles are a supplement to
the gear selector and make it possible to shift
manually without removing your hands from the
steering wheel.
Activating the steering wheel paddlesIn order to shift gears using the paddles, they
must first be activated:
– Pull one of the paddles toward the steering
wheel.
>

A number in the instrument panel indi-
cates the current gear being used. Instrument panel when the paddles are activated for
shifting.
ChangeTo shift one gear: –
Pull one of the paddles toward the steering
wheel and then release. "-": Shift down one gear.
"+": Shift up one gear.
As long as the engine speed (rpm) is within the
permissible range for the selected gear, a gear
shift will take place each time a paddle is pulled.
After each gear shift, a number indicating the
current gear will be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Turning off Start/Stop
Manual deactivation in gear D and B
– Deactivate the paddles by pulling the right
paddle (+) toward the steering wheel and
holding it until the number of the current
gear is no longer displayed in the instrument
panel.
> The transmission will revert to gear D or B
depending on which gear was selected
before the paddles were activated.
Automatic deactivation
In gear position D, the steering wheel paddles
are deactivated after a short period of time if they
are not used. The number of the current gear will
no longer be displayed in the instrument panel.
In gear position B, the paddles will not activate
automatically.

This drive mode is optimized for maximum control
when driving at low speeds on very poor roads or
difficult terrain. It raises the chassis
3
, reduces
driveline throttle response, and locks the vehicle
in all-wheel drive. The Hill Descent Control func-
tion facilitates controlled driving on steep down-
grades.
NOTE This drive mode is not designed to be used
for normal street driving.
NOTE
Due to the increased ground clearance, if the
OFF ROAD mode was selected when the
engine was switched off, the suspension will
lower when the engine is restarted.
CAUTION
Do not use the OFF ROAD drive mode when
towing a trailer without an electrical connec-
tion. This could result in damage to the pneu-
matic suspension system's bellows.
AWD

Improves the vehicle's traction and handling
by increasing all-wheel drive. This drive mode locks the vehicle in all-wheel
drive. An optimal distribution between front and
rear axle torque helps provide the best possible
control, stability and traction, e.g. on slippery
roads or when towing a heavy trailer or another
vehicle. The AWD drive mode is always available
regardless of the hybrid battery's charge status.
Both the combustion engine and the electric
motor are engaged to enable all-wheel drive,
which results in higher fuel consumption.
In the other drive modes, the vehicle automati-
cally adapts the need for all-wheel drive accord-
ing to the road surface, and can activate the elec-
tric motor or start the combustion engine as nee-
ded.
POWER

Power mode is designed to provide sportier
driving characteristics and a faster accelera-
tion response.
This drive mode maximizes the combined power
from the combustion engine and the electric
motor by providing power to both the front and
rear wheels. Gear shifting will be faster and more
distinct and the transmission will prioritize gears
with a higher traction force. Steering response is
faster, suspension is stiffer and ground clearance
is lower 3
to help reduce body roll when cornering. Both the combustion engine and the electric
motor are engaged to enable all-wheel drive,
which results in higher fuel consumption.
This drive mode is optimized for maximum per-
formance and throttle response. It changes the
throttle response, gear shifting program and
turbo boost system. Chassis settings and steer-
ing and brake response are also optimized. The
Power drive mode is always available regardless
of the hybrid battery's charge status.
