Park Assist*
The Park Assist system is designed to assist youwhen 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 tonethat 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 youare within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an objectand the highlighted sensor field is filled in.
While an audible signal is being given, its volumelevel can be raised/lowered using the >II controlin the center console or can be adjusted in thecenter displays Top view under Settings.
NOTE
Audible alerts will only be provided for objectsthat are directly in the vehicle's path.
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT asafety 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 selectorin N or if R has been selected.
The distance monitored behind the vehicle isapproximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signalcomes from the rear speakers.
The rear sensors will be deactivated automaticallywhen 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.

Side park assist
The system's side sensors are activated automat-ically when the engine is started and are active atspeeds below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
The distance monitored along the sides of thevehicle is approximately 1 ft (30 cm). The audiblesignal comes from the side speakers.
Front park assist
The system's front sensors are activated auto-matically when the engine is started and areactive at speeds below approximately 6 mph(10 km/h).
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle isapproximately 2.5 ft (80 cm). The audible signalcomes from the front speakers.
Front Park Assist is deactivated if the parkingbrake is applied or if the gear selector is put in P.
When installing auxiliary headlights, be sure thatthey do not obstruct the front sensors. Otherwise,these lights could trigger a Park Assist warning.

Backing up
Location of the rear Park Assist Camera (generic illus-tration)
The rear camera shows a wide area behind thevehicle and on certain models, part of the bumperand the trailer hitch (if installed) will be visible.
Some objects on the screen may appear to “lean”slightly, which is normal.
WARNING
People/objects/obstructions displayed on thecenter console screen may be closer to thevehicle than they appear.
Front camera
Location of the front Park Assist Camera (generic illus-tration)
The front camera is located behind the grill andcan be useful when driving off in areas with lim-ited visibility (hedges, bushes, etc). It is active atspeeds up to approx. 16 mph (25 km/h) and isautomatically turned off when the vehicleexceeds this speed.
However, if the vehicle's speed does not exceed30 mph (50 km/h) and its speed goes under14 mph (22 km/h) within 60 seconds after thecamera has been switched off, the front camerawill reactivate.
NOTE
The front camera will only reactivate automati-cally if Auto Camera Reverse Activation
has been selected in SettingsMy CarPark Assist.
Side camera
The side cameras are located in the respectivedoor mirrors and shows views along the sides ofthe vehicle.

Park Assist Camera* (PAC)limitations
The Park Assist Camera system has certain limi-tations that the driver should be aware of.
NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories mountedon the tailgate may obstruct the camera'sfield of vision.
Blind sectors
Even if a fairly small section of the screen imageappears to be obstructed, this may mean that arelatively large area is hidden and objects theremay not be detected until they are very near thevehicle.
The "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of vision
With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles maynot be detected at the edges of the individualcameras' fields of vision.
Defective camera
If a camera sector is dark andcontains this symbol, this indi-cates that the camera is notfunctioning properly (see thefollowing illustration).
In this example, the driver's side camera is not function-ing
Dark camera sectors
A dark camera sector may also be displayed inthe following situations but without the defectivecamera symbol. A sector may be dark because:
•the door mirror is folded in
•the door is open
•the tailgate is open
Ambient lighting
The camera images are adjusted automatically tothe ambient light, which means the image mayvary slightly in terms of light and quality. Poorambient lighting may reduce the quality of theimage.
Maintenance
•Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice andsnow. This is particularly important in poorambient lighting conditions.
•Remove dirt, ice and snow carefully to avoidscratching the lenses.
•Clean the lens regularly with warm water anda suitable car washing detergent.

When the vehicle is backing up, PAP will steer itinto 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 steeringwheel. The vehicle's speed must be belowapproximately 4 mph (7 km/h).
3. Keep an eye on the instrument panel and beprepared to stop the vehicle when you areinstructed by PAP to do so.
NOTE
•Release the wheel while PAP is steeringthe 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.
3: Adjusting the vehicle's position
Parallel
Perpendicular
After the vehicle has backed into the parkingspace, its position in the space has to be
adjusted by driving slightly forward and backingup.
1.Put the gear selector in D, wait until thesteering wheel has turned and drive forwardslowly.
2.Stop the vehicle when you are instructed byPAP to do so.
3.Put the gear selector in R, back up slowlyand stop when you are instructed by PAP todo so.
When the parking procedure is finished (this willbe indicated by a text message and a graphicimage), PAP switches off automatically. If neces-sary, the driver may need to make minor adjust-ments to ensure that the vehicle is parked cor-rectly.
CAUTION
The warning distance is shorter when PAP isusing the sensors than when Park Assist isusing them.
Leaving a parking space
This function can only be usedfor a vehicle that has been par-allel parked and is activated inthe center display's Functionview.

1. Tap the Park out button in the center display'sFunction view.
2. Use the turn signal to indicate the direction inwhich the vehicle should leave the parking space.
3. Follow the instructions provided in the centerdisplay. The procedure is the same as when park-ing the vehicle.
The steering wheel may turn back slightly whenthe function is completed and the driver mayhave to turn the back before leaving the parkingspace.
If PAP determines that the driver can leave theparking space without assistance, the functionwill deactivate before the vehicle is completelyout of the space.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* limitations
The PAP function may be limited in certain situa-tions.
The PAP parking sequence is cancelled
A parking sequence will be cancelled:
•if the vehicle is driven too fast: above approx.4 mph (7 km/h)
•if the driver taps Cancel in the center display
•if the driver moves the steering wheel withsufficient force.
•if the anti-lock brakes or Electronic StabilityControl are activated (e.g., if a wheel beginsto spin or lose traction)
In such cases, a text message will explain whythe parking sequence was cancelled.
NOTE
•PAP will not function correctly if its sen-sors are obstructed by dirt, snow, etc.
•In certain situations, PAP may not be ableto measure a parking space. This couldbe due to external sources of sound (e.g.,a vehicle's horn, tires on wet asphalt,pneumatic brakes, noise from a motorcy-cle's exhaust, etc.) emitting ultrasoundusing approximately the same frequen-cies as PAP.
Points to keep in mind
PAP is a parking aid only and the driver shouldalways be prepared to take control and cancel aparking sequence. This can be due to one ormore of the following factors:
•PAP's function is based on the way that thevehicles are parked behind and in front ofyour parking space. If they are, for example,parked too close to the curb, there is a riskthat your vehicle's tires or wheel rims couldbe damaged by the curb during the parkingprocedure.
•PAP is intended to provide parking assis-tance on straight streets, not sections ofstreet with curved or irregular curbs. Be surethat your vehicle is parallel to the curb whenPAP measures the parking space.
•PAP may not be able to provide parkingassistance on narrow streets due to lack ofspace to maneuver the vehicle. In situationslike this, it may help to drive between1.5-5.0 ft (0.5-1.5 m) from the side of theroad where the parking space is located.
•Use only approved tires with the correct infla-tion pressure because this affects PAP'scapacity to provide parking assistance.Changing to a different approved tire sizemay affect PAP's parameters. Consult atrained and qualified Volvo service technician.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.376
Starting and driving
The vehicle is equipped with an automatic trans-mission that also makes it possible to shift gearsmanually.
Certain functions can also be used when theengine is not running, depending on the ignitionmode being used.

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 system
If 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 fartherthan normal and requires greater foot pressure,the stopping distance will be longer.
Pressure on the brake pedal is enhanced by thepower braking function.
WARNING
If the vehicle does not have electrical currentand 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 iscarrying a heavy load, using brake mode B toaugment the brakes or the Off Road* drive
mode can also be used on steep downgrades toincrease 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 somevibration in the brake pedal, which is normal.
The system performs a brief self-diagnostic testwhen 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 thegear selector from P.
In certain cases, a message may appear in theinstrument panel saying that pressure on thebrake pedal is too low. Press harder on the pedal.
Light braking charges the hybrid battery
When the brakes are applied lightly, the electricmotor's braking function is used, which converts

Brake functions
The vehicle's standard braking features are aug-mented by a number of auxiliary help functions.
In addition to the wheel brakes and the parkingbrake, the vehicle is equipped with several auto-matic brake assist functions. These systems helpthe driver by e.g., keeping the vehicle stationarywhen the brake pedal is not depressed (at a traf-fic light or intersection), when starting up a hill orwhen driving down a hill.
These systems include:
•Auto-hold brakes
•Hill Start Assist
•Braking assist after a collision
•Hill Descent Control*

Auto-hold brake function
With the Auto-hold brake function, the driver canrelease the brake pedal and the brakes willremain applied, for example, when the vehiclehas stopped at a traffic light or intersection.
When the vehicle is no longer moving forward,Auto-hold applies the brakes automatically, eitherusing the normal brakes or the parking brake.The brakes will be released when the acceleratorpedal is depressed.
If the driver's door is opened or the engine isturned off, the parking brake will be applied auto-matically.
Auto-hold control
Auto-hold control and indicator light
Turn Auto-hold on or off by pressing the controlin the tunnel console. The indicator light illumi-nates when the function is on.
When Auto-hold is off, Hill Start Assist (HSA) willbe activated to help prevent the vehicle from roll-ing backwards when starting up a hill.
