Limitations of steering assistance

during collision risks from behind

The function may have limited functionality in
certain situations and not intervene, e.g.:

•

for smaller vehicles such as motorcycles

•

if more than half of your vehicle has moved
into the adjacent lane

•

on roads/lanes with indistinct or no side lane
markings

•

outside the speed range 60-140 km/h
(37-87 mph)

•

when the power steering works at reduced
power - e.g. during cooling due to overheat-
ing (see section "Speed-dependent steering
force").

Functionality may also be reduced in other situa-
tions, such as:

•

road work

•

winter driving conditions

•

narrow roads

•

poor road surfaces

•

a very sporty driving style

•

bad weather with reduced visibility.

In these demanding driving conditions, the func-
tion may not be able to properly assist the driver.
In these situations, it is recommended that it is
turned off.

The function uses the vehicle's combined
camera and radar unit, which has certain gen-
eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-
tions" and "Radar sensor limitations".

In addition to the camera and radar sensor, the
function also uses the vehicle's rearward-facing
radar, which has certain general limitations the
driver should be aware of. See additional informa-
tion in the section "BLIS limitations".

Park Assist*

The Park Assist function can help the driver
when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicating
distances to obstacles using audible signals and
graphics in the center display.

Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor sec-
tors.

The center display shows an overview of the vehi-
cle in relation to objects that have been detected.

The marked sector indicates where the obstacle
is located. The closer the vehicle symbol is to a
marked sector forward/rearward, the closer the
detected obstacle is to your vehicle.

The side sectors change color as the distance
between the vehicle and an object decreases.

The audible signals will also speed up the closer
the obstacle is to the vehicle. The volume of the
audio system will be automatically lowered.

Audible signals for obstacles in front and to the
sides of the vehicle are active when the vehicle is
moving but will cease after the vehicle has been
stationary for approx. 2 seconds. Audible signals
for obstacles behind the vehicle will remain active
even when the vehicle is stationary.

If a detected obstacle is within approx. 30 cm
(1 ft) from the front or rear of the vehicle, the
tone will become constant and the active sen-
sor's field closest to the vehicle symbol will be
filled in.

At distances within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from an
obstacle to the sides of the vehicle, an rapid puls-
ing signal will be given and the active sector
fields will change color from ORANGE to RED.

The volume of the Park Assist audible signals
can be adjusted while the signal is being given
using the >II knob or in the center display's Top
view under

Settings

Park Assist front, rear and sides (p. 391)

•

Besides in the sector closest to the vehi-
cle symbol, audible warnings are only pro-
vided for objects located directly in the
vehicle's path.

WARNING

•

The Parking Assist function is supple-
mentary driver support intended to facili-
tate driving and help make it safer – it
cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.

•

The parking sensors have dead/blind
spots where objects cannot be detected.

•

Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.

•

Parking Assist is not a substitute for the
driver's attention and judgment. The driver
is always responsible for ensuring the
vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.

Park Assist front, rear and sides

Park Assist has different parameters depending
on which part of the vehicle is approaching an
obstacle.

Front camera

Continuous tone warning signal when the obstacle is
less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehicle

112

Park Assist's front sensors are automatically acti-
vated when the engine is started. They are active
at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph).

The distance monitored extends approx. 80 cm
(2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.

The Parking Assist system is deactivated
when the parking brake is applied or when P
is selected on vehicles with automatic trans-
mission.

When installing auxiliary lights: Make sure
these do not obscure the sensors – the auxili-
ary lights could be perceived as an obstacle.

Back

Continuous tone warning signal when the obstacle is
less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehicle

112

The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle
begins rolling backward or if reverse gear is
engaged.

The distance monitored extends
approx. 1.5 meters (5 ft) behind the vehicle.

The Parking Assist system's rear sensors will be
automatically deactivated if the vehicle is backing
up with a trailer connected to the vehicle's elec-
trical system.

When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike car-
rier on the trailer hitch – without Volvo original
trailer cables – the Parking Assist system may
have to be turned off manually to prevent the
sensors from reacting to these.

392

Side sensors

Rapid pulsing warning signal when the obstacle is less
than approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from the vehicle

112

Park Assist's side sensors are automatically acti-
vated when the engine is started. They are active
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 increases significantly when
the steering angle of the front wheels increases
and depending on the steering wheel position,
obstacles up to approx. 90 cm (3 ft) directly
behind or in front of the vehicle can be detected
(also see “Side sensor fields” in the section “Sen-
sor field from Park Assist for Park Assist Cam-
era”).

Park Assist limitations

Park Assist may not be able to detect all condi-
tions in all situations and functionality may there-
fore be limited in certain cases.

The driver should be aware of the following limi-
tations for Park Assist:

WARNING

Be extra cautious when

reversing if this symbol is

shown when a trailer, bike

carrier or similar is attached

and electrically connected

to the vehicle.
The symbol indicates that

the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-

vated and will not warn of any obstacles.

Objects such as chains, thin and glossy poles
or low obstacles may end up in the "signal
shadow" and then go temporarily undetected
by the sensors – the pulsating tone may then
unexpectedly stop instead of 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 very slowly or
stop the current parking maneuver –
there may be a high risk of damage to
the vehicle or other objects since infor-
mation from the sensors is not always
reliable in such situations.

In some circumstances, the Park Assist Sys-
tem may produce false warnings due to exter-
nal sound sources with the same ultrasonic
frequencies as those the system works with.

Examples of such sources are horns, wet tires
on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noise
from motorcycles, etc.

When a trailer hitch is configured with the
vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch pro-
trusion is included when the function meas-
ures the distance to objects behind the vehi-
cle.

Back

The rear camera

117

is located above the license plate.

The rear camera shows a wide area behind the
vehicle. On certain models, part of the bumper
and the towbar (if installed) may be visible.

Objects on the center display may appear to be
leaning slightly. This is normal.

Front camera

The front Park Assist Camera

118

is located in the grille.

The front camera can be useful when pulling out
from areas with limited visibility, such as a drive-
way surrounded by a hedge. The front camera is
active at speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph) and is
automatically turned off when the vehicle
exceeds this speed.

If the vehicle does not reach a speed of 50 km/h
(30 mph) and speed falls below 22 km/h
(14 mph) within 1 minute after the front camera
turns off, the camera will be reactivated.

Side cameras

The side cameras

118

are located in the rearview mirrors.

The side cameras can show views along each
side of the vehicle.

Park Assist Camera trajectory lines

The Park Assist Camera uses trajectory lines
and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle's
position in relation to its immediate surround-
ings.

Example

119

of trajectory lines.

The trajectory lines show the anticipated trajec-
tory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions based
on the current position of the steering wheel to

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 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 (towbar, rearview mirrors, corners of
the body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle.

•

When reversing with a trailer that is not
electrically connected to the vehicle, the
screen guide lines show the path the
vehicle will take – not the trailer.

•

The screen does not show guide lines
when a trailer is electrically connected to
the vehicle's electrical system.

•

Guide lines are not shown when zooming
in.
