Input to the system is in dialog form and compri-ses commands from the driver and a verbalresponse from the system.
The voice control system uses the same micro-
phone as the Bluetooth hands-free system andsystem responses come via the infotainment sys-tem's speakers.
In certain cases, text messages are also providedin the instrument panel.
The functions are controlled using the right-sidesteering wheel keypad and settings are madefrom the center console.

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.

Battery drain
Your vehicle's electrical functions drain the bat-tery to varying extents.
Avoid using ignition mode II as much as posssi-ble, or electrical functions that require a greatdeal of electrical current when the engine is notrunning.
Using ignition mode I whenever possible con-sumes less electrical current.
Functions that require a great deal of electricalcurrent include:
•the climate system blower
•headlights
•wipers
•infotainment system (especially at high vol-ume).
If the battery's charge level is low, a text messagewill appear in the instrument panel. The vehicle'senergy-saving function will then turn off orreduce certain functions that are currently con-suming electrical current.
If the battery needs to be recharged, start theengine and let it idle for at least 15 minutes ordrive the vehicle (driving charges the batteryfaster than letting the engine idle).
