Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)*
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a supplementary partof Blind Spot Information and is intended todetect vehicles crossing behind your vehiclewhile you are backing up.
When does Cross Traffic Alert function
Principle for CTA
CTA supplements BLIS by warning the driver ofcrossing traffic behind your vehicle, for example,when backing out of a parking space.
It is primarily designed to detect another vehiclebut in certain cases may also detect pedestriansor smaller objects such as bicycles.
CTA is only activated when the vehicle is rollingrearward or backing up and is activated automati-cally when the gear selector is put in reverse.

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.

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.

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*
