Steering assistance upon risk of

lane departure

The subfunction's task is to help the driver
reduce the risk of the car accidentally leaving the
road by actively steering the car back onto the
road.

The function is active within the speed range
65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) on roads with clearly
visible lane markings/lines.

A camera scans the edges of the road and the
painted side markings. If the car is about to leave
the side of the road, the car is steered back onto
the road and if the steering intervention is not
enough to avoid run-off, the brakes are also acti-
vated.

The function does not intervene however with
steering assistance or braking if the direction
indicators are used and if the function detects
that the driver is actively driving the car, activation
of the function will be delayed.

After automatic engagement, the driver indicates
that this has occurred via a text message:

•

Collision avoidance

Automatic intervention

Level of steering assistance

The function has two activation levels:

•

Steering assistance only

•

Steering assistance with brake intervention

Intervention with steering assistance.

Steering assistance with brake intervention

Intervention with steering assistance and braking.

Brake intervention helps in situations where
steering assistance alone is not sufficient. The
brake force is adapted automatically depending
on the situation at the time of road run-off.

Park Assist

Park Assist Pilot assists the driver when
manoeuvring in tight spaces by indicating the
distance to obstacles through acoustic signals
combined with graphics on the centre display.

Screen view showing obstacle zones and sensor sectors.

The centre display shows an overview of the rela-
tionship between the car and detected obstacles.

The highlighted sector indicates the location of
the obstacle. The closer the car symbol is to a
highlighted sector box, the shorter the distance
between the car and detected obstacle.

The shorter the distance to the obstacle, the
faster the signal sounds. Other sound from the
audio system is muted automatically.

The acoustic signal for obstacles ahead and to
the sides is active when the car is moving but
stops after the car has been stationary for

approx. 2 seconds. The acoustic signal for obsta-
cles behind is also active when the car is station-
ary.

At a distance within 30 cm from an obstacle
behind or in front of the car, the tone is constant
and the active sensor's field closest to the car
symbol is filled.

The volume of the parking assistance signal can
be adjusted while the signal is sounding by
means of the [>II] knob on the centre console.
Adjustment can also be performed in the top
view's

Settings

menu option.

NOTE

•

Acoustic warnings are only given for
objects directly on the vehicle's route.

WARNING

•

The Park Assist function is supplemen-
tary driver support intended to facilitate
driving and make it safer – it cannot han-
dle all situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.

•

The parking sensors have blind spots
where obstacles cannot be detected.

•

Be particularly aware of people and ani-
mals near the car.

•

The Park Assist system is not a substitute
for the driver's attention and judgement.
The driver is always responsible for
ensuring the car is driven in a safe man-
ner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles,
and in accordance with current traffic
rules and regulations.

Backwards

NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary

depending on car model.

The sensors for reverse are activated if the car
rolls backward without a gear engaged or when
the gear lever is moved to reverse position.

The measuring range starts approx. 1.5 metres
( 5 ft) behind the car.

When reversing with a hitched trailer, parking
assistance backward is deactivated automatically.

NOTE

When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike car-
rier on the towbar - without Volvo genuine
trailer wiring - parking assistance may need to
be switched off manually in order that the
sensors do not react to them.

Along the sides

Parking assistance side sensors are activated
automatically when the engine is started. They
are active at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph).

The measuring range starts approx. 30 cm (1 ft)
from the sides. The acoustic signal for obstacles
on the sides comes from the side loudspeakers.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

389

Forwards

NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary

depending on car model.

The front parking assistance sensors are acti-
vated automatically when the engine is started.
The front sensors are active at speeds
below 10 km/h (6 mph).

The measuring range starts approx. 80 cm
(2.5 ft) in front of the car.

NOTE

Parking assistance is deactivated when the
parking brake is applied or P mode is
selected in a car with an automatic gearbox.

IMPORTANT

When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Remember
that these must not obscure the sensors - the
auxiliary lamps may then be perceived as an
obstacle.

Limitations of Park Assist Pilot

The Park Assist Pilot function cannot detect
everything in all situations and may therefore
have limited functionality.

A driver should be aware about the following
examples of Park Assist Pilot's limitations:

WARNING

Pay additional attention

while reversing when this

symbol is shown if a trailer,

bicycle rack or similar is

mounted and electrically

connected to the car.
The symbol indicates that

the parking assistance sensors rearward are

switched off and will not warn of any obsta-

cles.

IMPORTANT

Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or low
barriers may be in the "signal shadow" and
are then temporarily not detected by the sen-
sors - the pulsating tone may then unexpect-
edly stop instead of changing over to the
expected constant tone.

The sensors cannot detect high objects, such
as projecting loading docks.

•

In such situations, pay extra attention and
manoeuvre/reposition the car particularly
slowly or stop the current parking
manoeuvre - there may be a high risk of
damage to vehicles or other objects since
information from the sensors is not
always reliable in such situations.

IMPORTANT

In certain conditions the parking assistance
system may produce incorrect warning sig-
nals that are caused by external sound
sources with the same ultrasonic frequencies
that the system works with.

Examples of such sources include horns, wet
tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust
noises from motorcycles, etc.

NOTE

Since a towbar is configured with the car's
electrical system, towbar protrusion is
included when the function measures the dis-
tance to an object behind the car.

Maintenance

Location of the parking sensors

For Park Assist Pilot to work optimally, its sen-
sors must be cleaned regularly with water and car
shampoo.

NOTE

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may
cause incorrect warning signals, reduced or
no function.

NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.

System

* then distance to detected obstacles is

illustrated with fields in different colours.

The cameras can be activated automatically or
manually, see article "Starting the Park assist
camera".

Backwards

The backwards-facing camera

is fitted above the reg-

istration plate.

The backward-facing camera shows a wide area
behind the car. For certain models, part of the
bumper can be seen as well as the towbar in
some cases.

Objects shown in the centre display may appear
slightly tilted — this is normal.

Forwards

The forwards parking camera

is located in the grille.

The front camera can be helpful on an exit road
with limited visibility to the sides, e.g. when there
are high hedges. It is active at speeds up to
25 km/h (16 mph) - following which, the front
camera is switched off.

Park assist lines and fields for the

park assist camera

The Park assist cameras indicate the position of
the car in relation to its surroundings by display-
ing lines on the screen.

Park assist lines

Example

of park assist lines.

Park assist lines show the intended route for the
car's external dimensions with the current steer-
ing wheel angle - this facilitates parallel parking,
reversing into tight spaces and when connecting
a trailer.

The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were at ground level behind the car and respond
directly to steering wheel movements, showing

the driver the path the car will take - also when
the car is turning.

These park assist lines include the car's most
protruding parts, e.g. towbar, door mirrors and
corners.

NOTE

•

When reversing with a trailer which is not
connected electrically to the car, the park
assist lines on the display show the route
the car will take – not the trailer.

•

The screen shows no park assist lines
when a trailer is connected electrically to
the car's electrical system.

•

Park assist lines are not shown when
zooming in.
