Driver Alert Control limitations

Driver Alert Control (DAC) functionality may
be reduced in certain situations.

In certain situations, the system may provide a
warning even if it has not detected a change in
driving behavior, e.g.:

•

in strong crosswinds

•

on grooved road surfaces.

WARNING

In certain cases, driving behavior might not

be affected despite the driver's fatigue –

when using the Pilot Assist

function –

resulting in the driver not getting a warning

from DAC.
It is therefore very important to always

stop and take a break at the slightest sign

of fatigue, regardless of whether the func-

tion has issued a warning or not.

Driver Alert Control (p. 342)

The function uses the vehicle's camera and
radar sensor, which has certain general
limitations.

Distance Alert

The Distance Alert function can help the
driver become aware if the time interval to
the vehicle in front is too short. The vehicle
must be equipped with a head-up display

order to display Distance Alert.

Symbol for Distance Alert on the windshield with

head-up display

In vehicles equipped with a head-up display, a
symbol will be displayed on the windshield as
long as the time interval to the vehicle ahead
is shorter than the set time interval. However,
the

Show Driver Support

function must be

activated under Settings in the vehicle's menu
system.

Distance Alert is active at speeds
above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts for

vehicles ahead moving in the same direction
as your vehicle. No distance information is
provided for oncoming, slow-moving or sta-
tionary vehicles.

Visual warnings on the windshield may be
difficult to notice in cases of strong sun-
light, reflections, extreme light contrasts,
or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or is
not looking straight ahead.

Activating or deactivating Distance Alert
(p. 345)

Distance Alert is deactivated while Adap-
tive Cruise Control

WARNING

•

Detection ability may be affected by
vehicle size, e.g. motorcycles, which
can cause the warning light to come on
at a shorter time interval than that set
or cause the warning to be temporarily
absent.

•

Very high speeds can cause the light to
come on at a shorter time interval than

Cross Traffic Alert

Cross Traffic Alert(CTA) is a supplementary
driver support system to BLIS

that is

intended to help the driver detect vehicles
crossing behind the vehicle while backing up.

The

auto-brake

subfunction can help the

driver stop the car if there is a risk of collision
with an unobserved vehicle.

Examples of areas in which Cross Traffic Alert can

help the driver detect obstacles while backing up.

The function is primarily designed to detect
vehicles, but in certain cases can also detect
pedestrians or smaller objects such as bicy-
cles.

The function is only active when the vehicle is
moving backward or reverse gear is engaged.

If the function detects that something is
approaching your vehicle from the side:

•

an audible signal will sound from either
the left or right speaker, depending on
which side of your vehicle the object is
approaching from.

•

an icon will illuminate in the

Park Assist

System

graphic on the screen.

•

an icon will appear in the Park Assist Cam-
era's Top view.

Illuminated Cross Traffic Alert icon in the

Park

Assist System

graphic on the screen.

If the driver does not pay attention to the
warning from the function and a collision is
unavoidable, the

auto brake

function will

intervene to stop the vehicle and a text will be
shown on the instrument panel to explain why
the vehicle was braked.

Cross Traffic Alert

limitations

The Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) function with

auto brake

may have limited functionality in

certain situations. Auto-brake is active at
speeds under 15 km/h (9.3 mph).

WARNING

The

auto-brake

sub-function can only

detect and apply the brakes for other mov-

ing vehicles –

not

for e.g. stationary obsta-

cles, cyclists or pedestrians.

The function has certain limitations – the sen-
sors, for example, cannot "see" through other
parked vehicles or objects blocking the vehi-
cle.

Below are a few examples of situations in
which the function's field of vision may be ini-
tially limited and approaching vehicles may
therefore not be detected until they are very
close to your vehicle:

The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.

In a diagonal parking space, Cross Traffic Alert may

be completely "blind" on one side of your vehicle.

Blind zone.

The function's field of vision.

However, as you back your vehicle slowly out
of a parking space, CTA's field of vision

changes in relation to the obstructing vehicle/
object and its blind zone is reduced.

Examples of further limitations

•

The

auto brake

subfunction only detects

vehicles in motion and may therefore

not

"see" and brake for e.g. stationary obsta-
cles, a cyclists or a pedestrian.

•

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
may reduce functionality and prevent the
system from providing warnings.

•

CTA is automatically deactivated if a
trailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system.

•

For CTA to function effectively, bicycle
holders, luggage racks or similar should
not be mounted on the vehicle's towbar.

The function uses the vehicle's radar sen-
sors, which have certain general limita-
tions.

Park Assist

The Park Assist function (PAS

101

) uses sen-

sors to help the driver when maneuvering in
tight spaces by indicating distances to obsta-
cles using audible signals and graphics in the
center display.

Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor

sectors.

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

The marked sector indicates where the obsta-
cle 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 vol-
ume 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 vehi-
cle has been stationary for approx. 2 seconds.
Audible signals for obstacles behind the vehi-
cle 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 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 pulsing 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

Besides in the sector closest to the vehicle
symbol, audible warnings are only provided
for objects located directly in the vehicle's
path.

Park Assist front, rear and sides

Park Assist (PAS

102

) behaves differently

depending on which part of the vehicle is
approaching an obstacle.

Front camera

The warning signal has a continuous tone when the

obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the

vehicle.

The Park Assist system's front sensors are
automatically activated 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 Park Assist system is deactivated
when the parking brake is used or when

is selected on vehicles with automatic
transmission.

CAUTION

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

Back

The warning signal has a continuous tone when the

obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the

vehicle.

102

Park Assist System

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

352

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 Park Assist system's rear sensors will be
automatically deactivated if the vehicle is
backing up with a trailer connected to the
vehicle's electrical system.

When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike
carrier 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.

Side sensors

The warning signal will begin pulsating rapidly when

the obstacle is less than approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from

the vehicle.

Park Assist's side sensors are automatically
activated 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 of the side sensors increa-
ses significantly, however, when the steering
angle of the front wheel increases and
depending on the position of the steering
wheel, obstacles up to approx. 90 cm (3 ft)
diagonally behind or in front of the vehicle can
be detected.

Park Assist limitations

Park Assist (PAS

104

) may not be able to

detect all conditions in all situations and func-
tionality may therefore be limited in certain
cases.

The driver should be aware of the following
limitations for Park Assist:

WARNING

•

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

•

Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.

•

Bear in mind that the front end of the
vehicle may swing out towards oncom-
ing traffic during the parking maneuver.

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.

CAUTION

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 information from the sensors is
not always reliable in such situations.

CAUTION

In some circumstances, the Park Assist
System may produce false warnings due to
external 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
protrusion is included when the function
measures the distance to objects behind
the vehicle.
