Blind Spot Information

||
DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
348
The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.
In a diagonal parking space, CTA may be completely "blind" on one side of your vehicle.
CTA's blind zone.
CTA's field of vision.
However, as you back your vehicle slowly out of a parking space, CTA's field of vision changes in relation to the obstructing vehicle/object and its blind zone is reduced.
Examples of further limitations

The
auto brake sub-function only detects
vehicles in motion and may therefore not
"see" and brake for e.g. stationary obsta- cles, a cyclists or a pedestrian.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensorsmay reduce functionality and prevent thesystem from providing warnings.
CTA is automatically deactivated if atrailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
For CTA to function effectively, bicycleholders, luggage racks or similar shouldnot be mounted on the vehicle's towbar.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

Park Assist front, rear and sides *
Park Assist behaves differently depending on which part of the vehicle is approaching anobstacle.
Front camera
The warning signal has a continuous tone when the obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from thevehicle.
The Park Assist system's front sensors are automatically activated when the engine isstarted. They are active at speedsbelow 10 km/h (6 mph). The distance monitored extends approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.
NOTE
The Park Assist system is deactivated when the parking brake is used or when P
is selected on vehicles with automatictransmission.
CAUTION
When installing auxiliary lights: Make sure these do not obscure the sensors – theauxiliary lights could be perceived as anobstacle.
Back
The warning signal has a continuous tone when the obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from thevehicle.
The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle begins rolling backward or if reverse gear isengaged. The distance monitored extends approx. 1.5 meters (5 ft) behind the vehicle. The Park Assist system's rear sensors will be automatically deactivated if the vehicle isbacking up with a trailer connected to thevehicle's electrical system.
NOTE
When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike carrier on the trailer hitch – without Volvooriginal trailer cables – the Parking Assistsystem may have to be turned off manuallyto prevent the sensors from reacting tothese.

Side sensors
The warning signal will begin pulsating rapidly when the obstacle is less than approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) fromthe vehicle.
Park Assist's side sensors are automatically activated when the engine is started. They areactive at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph). The distance monitored is approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) out from the sides. The detection area of the side sensors increa- ses significantly, however, when the steeringangle of the front wheel increases anddepending on the position of the steeringwheel, obstacles up to approx. 90 cm (3 ft)diagonally behind or in front of the vehicle canbe detected.

Park Assist limitations (p. 372)
Park Assist limitations Park Assist may not be able to detect all con- ditions in all situations and functionality maytherefore be limited in certain cases.
The driver should be aware of the following limitations for Park Assist:
WARNING
The parking sensors have dead/blind spots where objects cannot bedetected.
Pay particular attention to people andanimals near the vehicle.
Bear in mind that the front end of thevehicle may swing out towards oncom-ing traffic during the parking maneuver.
WARNING
Be extra cautious when reversing if this symbol isshown when a trailer, bikecarrier or similar isattached and electricallyconnected to the vehicle. The symbol indicates that
the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-
vated and will not warn of any obstacles.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.373
CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy poles or low obstacles may end up in the"signal shadow" and then go temporarilyundetected by the sensors – the pulsatingtone may then unexpectedly stop insteadof becoming a constant tone as expected. The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as protruding ramps. In such situations, pay extra attention and maneuver/drive the vehicle veryslowly or stop the current parkingmaneuver – there may be a high risk ofdamage to the vehicle or other objectssince information from the sensors isnot always reliable in such situations.
CAUTION
In some circumstances, the Park Assist System may produce false warnings due toexternal sound sources with the sameultrasonic frequencies as those the systemworks with. Examples of such sources are horns, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaustnoise from motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with the vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitchprotrusion is included when the functionmeasures the distance to objects behindthe vehicle.

Park Assist Camera trajectory lines
*
The Park Assist Cameras use trajectory lines and fields on the screen to indicate the vehi-cle's position in relation to its immediate sur-roundings.
Example of trajectory lines.
The trajectory lines show the anticipated tra- jectory for the vehicle's outermost dimensionsbased on the current position of the steering wheel and can 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 thevehicle and are directly affected by the way inwhich the steering wheel is turned. Thismakes it possible for the driver to see path thevehicle will take, even if he/she turns thesteering wheel. These lines also indicate the outermost limits that any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, cor-ners of the body, etc.) extends out from thevehicle.
NOTE

When reversing with a trailer that is not electrically connected to the vehi-cle, the screen guide lines show thepath the
vehicle will take – not the
trailer.
The screen does not show guide lineswhen a trailer is electrically connectedto the vehicle's electrical system.
Guide lines are not shown when zoom-ing in.

* Option/accessory.379
CAUTION
Bear in mind that when the rearward camera view is selected, the screenonly shows the area behind the vehicle– pay attention to the sides and frontof the vehicle when steering whilereversing.
The same applies to the reverse – payattention to what is happening withthe rear parts of the vehicle when thefront camera view is selected.
Note that the guide lines show theshortest
path – pay extra attention to
ensure that the vehicle sides do notcome in contact with/travel over any-thing when steering while driving for-ward or that the vehicle front movestoward/over anything when steeringwhile 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 vehi-cle, 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 back-ing up.
Trajectory lines for a towbar *
Towbar with trajectory line.
Towbar - activate trajectory lines for tow-
bar.
Zoom - zoom in/out.
The camera can help make hitching a trailer easier by showing an anticipated trajectoryline for the towbar's path toward the trailer.
