Leaving a parallel parking space

with Park Assist Pilot

*

The 

Park Out

 function can help the driver to

pull out of a parking space when the vehicle
is parallel-parked.

NOTE

Leaving a parking space with the 

Park Out

function should only be used in connection
with parallel parking – it does not work for
perpendicular parking.

The 

Park Out

 function is acti-

vated in the center display's
Function view or in Camera
view.

•

GREEN button indicator light – the func-
tion is activated.

•

GRAY button indicator light – the function
is deactivated.

1. Tap 

Park Out

 in Function view or in Cam-

era view.

2. Move the gear selector to the suitable

position (e.g. D or R) for the direction in
which you will be pulling out of the park-
ing space.

3. Be prepared to stop the vehicle when

instructed to do so by a graphic and mes-
sage in the center display. Follow the
instructions in the same way as for the
parking procedure.

Note that the steering wheel can "spring"
back when the procedure is completed and
the driver may need to turn the steering wheel
back to the maximum position in order to pull
out of the parking space.

If the function determines that the driver can
pull out of the parking space without any extra
maneuvers, the function will be deactivated,
even if it seems as though the vehicle is not
completely out of the parking space.

 limitations 

Park Assist Pilot (PAP

121

) may not be able to

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

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

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.

CAUTION

Objects situated higher than the detection
area of the sensors are not included when
the parking maneuver is calculated, which
could cause the function to swing into the
parking space too early. Such parking
spaces should be avoided for this reason.

The parking sequence is cancelled

A parking sequence will be cancelled if:

•

the driver moves the steering wheel

•

the vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h
(4 mph)

•

the driver taps 

Cancel

 in the center dis-

play

•

when the anti-lock brakes or the Elec-
tronic stability control are engaged - e.g.
when a wheel loses grip on a slippery road

•

when speed-dependent power steering
wheel resistance is working at reduced
power – e.g. during cooling due to over-
heating

•

when, while parking, the parking sensors
detect a vehicle or pedestrian in the vehi-
cle's intended direction of travel behind or
in front of the vehicle, the auto-brake func-
tion will bring the vehicle to a standstill.

A message in the center display will explain
why the parking sequence was cancelled.

CAUTION

Under certain circumstances, the function
may not be able to find parking spaces –
one reason may be that the sensors are
disrupted by external sound sources that
emit the same ultrasonic frequencies that
the system works with.

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

NOTE

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
reduce their function and can make meas-
urement impossible.

Driver responsibility

The driver should keep in mind that the func-
tion is a parking aid 

‒ 

not an infallible fully

automatic system. The driver must always be
prepared to take control and cancel a parking
sequence if necessary.

There are a number of things to keep in mind
when parking, including:

•

The driver is always responsible for deter-
mining if the space suggested by the func-
tion is suitable for parking.

•

Do not use the function when using snow
chains or a temporary spare tire.

•

Do not use the function if there are any
objects protruding from the vehicle.

•

Heavy rain or snowfall may inhibit PAP's
ability to accurately measure a parking
space.

•

While searching and measuring the park-
ing space, the function may be unable to
detect objects located far into the space.

•

PAP may not suggest parking spaces on
narrow streets if it does not detect suffi-
cient space for maneuvering the vehicle.

•

Use approved tires

122

 inflated to the cor-

rect tire pressure because this affects the
function's ability to provide parking assis-
tance.

•

The function is based on the way the vehi-
cles are parked behind and in front of your
parking space. If they are, for example,
parked too close to the curb, there is a risk
that your vehicle's tires or wheel rims

122

"Approved tires" refers to tires of the same type and make as the vehicle's original, factory-installed tires.

||

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

376

could be damaged by the curb during the
parking procedure.

•

Perpendicular parking spaces may not be
detected or may be suggested unneces-
sarily if a parked vehicle is sticking out
more than other parked vehicles.

•

The function is intended to provide park-
ing assistance on straight streets, not sec-
tions of street with sharp curves or bends.
Always make sure that your vehicle is par-
allel to relevant parking spaces when the
function is measuring the parking space.

Camera/radar sensor limitations

The camera and radar sensor used by several
of the driver support functions has certain
limitations, which also affect the functions
using the camera and radar sensor. The driver
should be aware of the following limitations:

||

DRIVER SUPPORT

382

Common camera and radar limitations

Obstructed camera

The area marked in the illustration must be cleaned

regularly and kept free of decals, objects, solar film,

etc.

The camera is located on the upper interior
section of the windshield along with the radar
sensor.

Do not place, affix or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windshield, or in front
of or around the camera and radar sensor –
this could disrupt camera and radar-based
functions. It could cause functions to be
reduced, deactivated completely or to produce
an incorrect function response.

High temperatures

If the temperature in the passenger compart-
ment is very high, the camera/radar sensor

will switch off temporarily for
approx. 15 minutes after the engine is started
to protect its electronic components. When
the temperature has cooled sufficiently, the
camera/radar sensor will automatically restart.

Damaged windshield

NOTE

Failure to take action could result in
reduced performance for the driver support
systems that use the camera and radar
unit. It could cause functions to be
reduced, deactivated completely or to pro-
duce an incorrect function response.

To avoid the risk of malfunction of the driver
support systems that use the radar sensor, the
following also apply:

•

If there are cracks, scratches or stone
chips on the windshield in front of any of
the camera and radar sensor "windows"
and this covers an area of
about 0.5 × 3.0 mm (0.02 × 0.12 in.) or
more, contact a workshop to have the
windshield replaced

126

.

•

Volvo advises 

against

 repairing cracks,

scratches or stone chips in the area in
front of the camera and radar sensor – the

entire windshield should instead be
replaced.

•

Before replacing the windshield, contact a
workshop

126

 to verify that the right wind-

shield has been ordered and installed.

•

The same type of windshield wipers or
wipers approved by Volvo should be used
for replacement.

•

If the windshield is replaced, the camera
and radar sensor must be recalibrated by a
workshop

126

 to help ensure proper func-

tioning of all of the vehicle's camera and
radar-based systems.

Additional radar limitations

Vehicle speed

The radar sensor's ability to detect a vehicle
ahead is significantly reduced if the speed of
the vehicle ahead differs greatly from your
vehicle's speed.

126

An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

383

Limited field of vision

The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In
some situations, it may detect a vehicle later
than expected or not at all.

The radar sensor's field of vision

The radar sensor's detection of vehicles
very close to your vehicle may be delayed
in certain situations, e.g. if a vehicle pulls

in between your vehicle and the vehicle
directly ahead.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles that are not driving in the center
of the lane may remain undetected.
In curves, the radar may detect the a dif-
ferent vehicle than intended or lose sight
of a target vehicle.

Low trailers

Low trailer in the radar shadow

Low trailers may also be difficult or even
impossible for the radar to detect. The driver
should be extra alert when driving behind vehi-
cles towing low trailers when Adaptive Cruise
Control

*

 or Pilot Assist

*

 is activated.

Additional camera limitations

Reduced visibility

Cameras have the same limitations as the
human eye. In other words, their “vision" is
impaired by adverse weather conditions such
as heavy snowfall/rain, dense fog, swirling

dust/snow, etc. These conditions may reduce
the function of systems that depend on the
camera or cause these systems to temporarily
stop functioning.

Strong sunlight, reflections from the road sur-
face, ice or snow covering the road, a dirty
road surface, or unclear lane marker lines may
drastically reduce the camera’s ability to
detect the side of a lane, a pedestrian, a
cyclist, a large animal or another vehicle.

Additional Park Assist Camera

*

limitations

Blind sectors

There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields

of vision.

With the Park Assist Camera's 360° view

*

selected, objects/obstacles may not be
detected if they are located in the "joints"
where the edges of the individual camera
views meet.

WARNING

Even if it seems as though only a fairly

small section of the screen image is

obstructed, this may mean that a relatively

large sector is hidden and obstacles there

may not be detected until they are very

near the vehicle.

Lighting conditions

The camera image is automatically adjusted
according to the current lighting conditions.
This means that the brightness and quality of
the image may vary slightly. Poor lighting con-
ditions may result in reduced image quality.

NOTE

A bike carrier and other accessories moun-
ted on the rear of the vehicle can obscure
the camera's view.

Sensor

blocked, see Owner's manual

 is

displayed in the instrument panel, it

means that the camera and radar unit are
unable to detect other vehicles, cyclists,
pedestrians and large animals in front of the
vehicle and that the vehicle's camera and
radar-based functions may be obstructed.

The following table shows some of the situa-
tions that can cause the message to be dis-
played, and suggested actions:

Cause

Action

The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is
dirty or covered by ice or snow.

Clean the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor and remove dirt, ice
and snow.

Thick fog, heavy rain or snow is blocking the radar signals or the
camera's range of visibility.

No action. Heavy precipitation may sometimes prevent the camera/radar sensor
from functioning.

Water or snow is spraying/swirling up and blocking the radar
signals or the camera's range of visibility.

No action. Very wet or snow-covered roads may sometimes prevent the cam-
era/radar sensor from functioning.

There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the cam-
era/radar sensor.

Consult a workshop to have the area of the windshield on the inside of the cam-
era's casing cleaned. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

Bright sunlight.

No action. The camera/radar sensor will reset automatically when lighting con-
ditions improve.

ELECTRIC MOTOR AND CHARGING

390

General information about electric

vehicles

Recharge vehicles are driven just like any
other vehicle, but certain functions differ from
a vehicle powered exclusively by gasoline.
The electric motor powers the vehicle primar-
ily at low speeds; the gasoline engine is used
at higher speeds or during more active driv-
ing.

The instrument panel displays Recharge-spe-
cific information - charging information,
selected drive mode, distance to discharged
battery and hybrid battery charge level.

Different drive modes can be selected while
driving, e.g. electric power only or, if more
power is needed, a combination of electric and
gasoline power. The vehicle calculates a com-
bination of driveability, driving experience,
environmental impact and fuel economy for
the selected drive mode.

In order to function optimally, the hybrid bat-
tery (and its electrical drive systems) and the
gasoline engine (and its drive systems) must
be at the correct operating temperature. Bat-
tery capacity can be considerably reduced if
the battery is too cold or too hot. Precondi-
tioning prepares the vehicle's drive systems
and passenger compartment before driving to
help reduce both wear and energy consump-
tion. It also helps increase the hybrid battery's
range.

The hybrid battery which powers the electric
motor is recharged using the charging cable. It
can also be recharged during light braking and
through engine braking in gear position 

B

. The

combustion engine can also help recharge the
hybrid battery.

Important

No electrical current

Keep in mind that if there is no electrical cur-
rent to the vehicle, i.e. the ignition is switched
off or the start battery is discharged, certain
functions such as power brakes, power steer-
ing, etc. will be limited.

WARNING

The power brakes only work when the

electric motor or combustion engine is run-

ning.

Towing not permitted

Never tow the vehicle behind another vehicle,
as this could damage the electric motor.

Exterior engine noise

Because there is no sound from the engine
when only the electric motor is running, the
vehicle is equipped with artificial exterior
background noise. This sound is intended to
help warn children, pedestrians, cyclists, ani-
mals, etc. outside the vehicle of the vehicle's
approach.

High-voltage electrical current

WARNING

A number of electrical components in the

vehicle use high-voltage current and can be

extremely dangerous if handled incorrectly.

These components and any orange wiring

in the vehicle may only be handled by

trained and qualified Volvo service techni-

cians.

Charging the hybrid battery

In addition to the conventional fuel tank, your
vehicle is also equipped with a rechargeable
lithium-ion hybrid battery.

WARNING

California Proposition 65

Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-

senger vehicle can expose you to chemi-

cals including engine exhaust, carbon mon-

oxide, phthalates, and lead, which are

known to the State of California to cause

cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-

tive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid

breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine

except as necessary, service your vehicle in

a well ventilated area and wear gloves or

wash your hands frequently when servicing

your vehicle. For more information go to

The hybrid battery can be recharged using the
charging cable stored in a storage space in the
cargo compartment.

WARNING

The hybrid electrical system in your vehicle

uses high voltage electrical current. Any

damage to this system or to the hybrid bat-

tery may result in the danger of overheat-

ing, fire, or serious injury. If the vehicle is

involved in a collision or subjected to flood-

ing, fire, etc., have it inspected by a trained

and qualified Volvo service technician. Prior

to this inspection, the vehicle should be

parked outdoors at a safe distance from

any building or potentially flammable mate-

rials.

The hybrid battery's charging time depends on
the charging current used.

NOTE

The capacity of the hybrid battery dimin-
ishes somewhat with age and use, which
could result in increased use of the gaso-
line engine and consequently, slightly
higher fuel consumption.

WARNING

If the hybrid battery needs to be replaced,

this may only be done by a Volvo retailer or

authorized Volvo workshop.
