Driving lane assistance symbols

and messages

A number of symbols and messages relating to
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) may appear in the
instrument panel.

Symbols in the instrument panel

The driving lane assistance
systems use a symbol in the
instrument panel in different
situations.

Several examples of the symbol's appearance will
be given here:

Available

When the driving lane assistance systems are available,
the marker lines in the symbol will be white.

LKA are monitoring the driving lane's marker
line(s).

Not available

When the driving lane assistance systems are not avail-
able, the marker lines in the symbol will be gray

This is because LKA cannot monitor (detect) the
driving lane's marker line(s) or the vehicle's
speed is too low or the road is too narrow.

Steering/warning indicator

Steering/warning: the side marker lines in the symbol
will be colored

LKA indicates that the system is warning and/or
attempting to steer the vehicle back into its lane.

Run-off Mitigation

Run-off Mitigation is designed to assist the
driver by helping return the vehicle to its traffic
lane if it is about to go off the road.

Run-off Mitigation is active at speeds between
40–87 mph (65–140 km/h)

on roads with

clearly marked edges or side marker lines.

Run-off Mitigation uses a camera to monitor the
edges of a road and its side marker lines. If the
vehicle is about to cross the edge of the road or
side marker line, Run-off Mitigation will attempt
to actively steer the vehicle back onto the road. If
the attempt to steer the vehicle is not sufficient,
the brakes will also be applied.

Run-off Mitigation does not provide steering or
braking assistance if a turn signal is being used.
If the function detects that the vehicle is being
driven actively, Run-off Mitigation activation may
be delayed for a short time.

The function has two activation levels:

•

Steering assistance only

•

Steering assistance and braking

Run-off Mitigation with steering assistance
only

Run-off Mitigation provides steering assistance

Run-off Mitigation with steering assistance
and braking

Run-off Mitigation provides steering assistance and
braking

Braking is triggered in situations where steering
assistance may not be sufficient. Braking effect is
modulated automatically depending on the situa-
tion when the vehicle begins to run off the road.

Settings

Run-off Mitigation can be activated/deactivated
by pulling down the center display's Top view and
navigating to:

The setting selected when the engine was
switched off will be used the next time the
engine is started.

Limitations

In certain situations, it may be difficult for Run-off
Mitigation to assist the driver. In such cases, it is
advisable to deactivate the function.

Examples of these situations include:

•

road construction

•

winter driving conditions

•

poor road surfaces

•

narrow roads

•

a very active driving style

•

bad weather with reduced visibility

•

edges or lines other than the lane's marker
lines

•

roads with indistinct or no lane marker lines

The Run-off Mitigation function use the vehicle's
camera, which has general limitations. See the
article "Camera limitations".

WARNING

•

Run-off Mitigation is only intended to
assist the driver and does not function in
all driving, weather, traffic or road condi-
tions.

•

This function cannot detect barriers, rails
or similar obstructions at the side of a
road or traffic lane.

•

As the driver, you have full responsibility
for operating the vehicle in a safe man-
ner.

Park Assist

The Park Assist system is designed to assist you
when driving into parking spaces, garages, etc.
An audible signal and symbols in the instrument
panel and center display indicate the distance to
the 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 the
highlighted sector is to the vehicle symbol, the
closer the actual object is to your vehicle.

The Park Assist system uses an intermittent tone
that pulses faster as you come closer to an
object. Sound from the infotainment system will
be temporarily turned down.

The audible signals for objects in front of and to
the sides are active while the vehicle is moving
and will stop after the vehicle has been stopped
for approx. 2 seconds. The audible signals for
objects behind the vehicle are active even when
the vehicle has stopped moving.

The audible signal becomes constant when you
are within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an object
and the highlighted sensor field is filled in.

While an audible signal is being given, its volume
level can be raised/lowered using the >II control
in the center console or can be adjusted in the
center displays Top view under

Settings

NOTE

Audible alerts will only be provided for objects
that are directly in the vehicle's path.

WARNING

Park Assist is an information system, NOT a
safety system. This system is designed to be
a 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 if
the vehicle rolls rearward with the gear selector
in N or if R has been selected.

The distance monitored behind the vehicle is
approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signal
comes from the rear speakers.

The rear sensors will be deactivated automatically
when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine trailer wir-
ing is used. If a non-Volvo trailer hitch is being
used, it may be necessary to switch off the sys-
tem manually.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

359

Side park assist

The system's side sensors are activated automat-
ically when the engine is started and are active at
speeds below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

The distance monitored along the sides of the
vehicle is approximately 1 ft (30 cm). The audible
signal comes from the side speakers.

Front park assist

The system's front sensors are activated auto-
matically when the engine is started and are
active at speeds below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h).

The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is
approximately 2.5 ft (80 cm). The audible signal
comes from the front speakers.

Front Park Assist is deactivated if the parking
brake is applied or if the gear selector is put in P.

When installing auxiliary headlights, be sure that
they do not obstruct the front sensors. Otherwise,
these lights could trigger a Park Assist warning.

Park Assist limitations

The Park Assist system has certain limitations.

NOTE

A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with
the vehicle's electrical system will be taken
into account when measuring the available
space behind the vehicle.

NOTE

•

The system will not detect high objects,
such as a loading dock, etc.

•

Certain materials or fabrics may not be
detected by the sensors. Objects made of
these materials or people wearing cloth-
ing made of these fabrics may not be
detected.

•

Children or animals near the vehicle may
not always be detected.

•

Objects such as chains, thin shiny poles
or low objects may temporarily not be
detected by the system. This may result
in the pulsing tone unexpectedly stopping
instead of changing to a constant tone as
the vehicle approaches the object. In
such cases, use caution when backing up
or stop the vehicle to help avoid damage.

•

In certain circumstances, the park assist
system may give unexpected warning sig-
nals that can be caused by external
sound sources that use the same ultra-
sound frequencies as the system. This
may include such things as the horns of
other vehicles, wet tires on asphalt, pneu-
matic brakes, motorcycle exhaust pipes,
other vehicles with similar ultrasound sys-
tems, etc. This does not indicate a fault in
the system.

Cleaning the sensors

Location of the Park Assist sensors

The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure
that they work properly. Clean them with water
and a suitable car washing detergent.

NOTE

If the sensors are obstructed by e.g., dirt,
snow, or ice, this could result in false warning
signals from the park assist system or the
system may not function at all.

Location of the rear Park Assist Camera (generic illus-
tration)

The rear camera shows a wide area behind the
vehicle and on certain models, part of the bumper
and 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 the
center console screen may be closer to the
vehicle than they appear.

Front camera

Location of the front Park Assist Camera (generic illus-
tration)

The front camera is located behind the grill and
can be useful when driving off in areas with lim-
ited visibility (hedges, bushes, etc). It is active at
speeds up to approx. 16 mph (25 km/h) and is
automatically turned off when the vehicle
exceeds this speed.

However, if the vehicle's speed does not exceed
30 mph (50 km/h) and its speed goes under
14 mph (22 km/h) within 60 seconds after the
camera has been switched off, the front camera
will reactivate.

Park Assist Camera (PAC)

trajectory lines and fields

The Park Assist Camera system uses trajectory
lines and fields to indicate the vehicle's position
in relation to its immediate surroundings.

Trajectory lines

Sample guidelines

The trajectory lines are intended to show the
position of the vehicle's outermost dimensions
based on the current position of the steering
wheel to help simplify parallel parking, backing
into tight spaces or when attaching a trailer.

The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were a path on the ground around the vehicle
and are directly affected by the way in which the
steering wheel is turned. This enables the driver
to see path the vehicle will take, even if he/she
turns the steering wheel.

These lines also indicate the outermost limits that
any object (door mirrors, corners of the body, a
trailer hitch, etc.) extends out from the vehicle,
even when it turns.

NOTE

When backing up with a trailer, the trajectory
lines show the path that the vehicle will take,
not the trailer.

Trajectory lines will not be displayed while
zooming in.

WARNING

Keep in mind that when the rear camera has
been selected, the image on the screen only
shows the area behind the vehicle. The driver
must always watch for people, animals, other
vehicles, etc., near the sides or the front of the
vehicle when turning while backing up.

The opposite is true when the front camera is
selected.

Please note that the trajectory lines show the
shortest path. Be sure that the vehicle’s sides
do not come into contact with or scrape
against any obstacle/obstruction when the
steering wheel is turned while driving forward
or that the front of the vehicle does not come
into contact with or scrape against any obsta-
cle/obstruction when backing up.

Models with the 360° panorama camera
system and Park Assist sensors

Location of the cameras and their fields of vision
(generic illustration)

On models with the 360° panorama camera sys-
tem, trajectory lines will be shown behind, in front
of or to the sides of the vehicle, depending on its
direction.

•

When driving forward: front lines

•

When backing up: side/rear lines

When the front or rear camera is selected, trajec-
tory lines will be shown regardless of the vehi-
cle's direction.

If a side camera is selected, trajectory lines will
only be shown if the vehicle is backing up.

limitations

The Park Assist Camera system has certain limi-
tations that the driver should be aware of.

NOTE

Bicycle carriers or other accessories mounted
on the tailgate may obstruct the camera's
field of vision.

Blind sectors

Even if a fairly small section of the screen image
appears to be obstructed, this may mean that a
relatively large area is hidden and objects there
may not be detected until they are very near the
vehicle.

The "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of vision

With

360° view

selected, objects/obstacles may

not be detected at the edges of the individual
cameras' fields of vision.

Defective camera

If a camera sector is dark and
contains this symbol, this indi-
cates that the camera is not
functioning properly (see the
following illustration).

In this example, the driver's side camera is not function-
ing

Dark camera sectors

A dark camera sector may also be displayed in
the following situations but without the defective
camera 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 to
the ambient light, which means the image may
vary slightly in terms of light and quality. Poor
ambient lighting may reduce the quality of the
image.

Maintenance

•

Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and
snow. This is particularly important in poor
ambient lighting conditions.

•

Remove dirt, ice and snow carefully to avoid
scratching the lenses.

•

Clean the lens regularly with warm water and
a suitable car washing detergent.
