Operation is subject to the following conditions:  (1) this  device may not cause interference, and  (2) this  device must
accept any  interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
In certain situations it may be  desirable to turn off the accessory  inclination and  movement alarm sensors  if, for
example, you drive your vehicle onto a  ferry  where  the rocking of the boat could trigger the alarm or if a  pet is left in
the vehicle with the doors locked.
To temporarily turn off the inclination and movement  alarm sensors from the alarm system:
From the time the ignition key  is turned from  the Drive position (position II) until you lock the vehicle, you can press
the button in the center  console. The LED  in the switch will light up and  a  message will be  displayed in the text
window to indicate that the sensors  are disconnected.
The vehicle can then be  locked in the usual way to set the alarm.
NOTE:
 This function will not turn off the vehicle's standard alarm.
 The optional sensors  are automatically  reconnected to the alarm system the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
then locked again.
LED alarm status  signals
The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED  at the top of the dash:
 LED  off - the alarm is not armed
 LED  flashes once per second - the alarm is armed
 LED  flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm has been triggered
Fault in the alarm system : If a  fault has been detected in the alarm system, a  message will be  displayed in the text
window. Contact your Volvo retailer.
Automatic re-lock/re -arm system
If the vehicle is unlocked with the remote, the vehicle will re-lock and  the alarm will re-arm after 2 minutes unless a

buttons  for controlling these driving modes are located in center  instrument panel, above the ventilation system panel
vents, see the illustration in the right column. These buttons  can be  pressed at any  time to change driving modes. An
indicator light in the selected button will come on to indicate the driving mode that is currently selected.
This system is based on a  number of sensors  that continuously monitor factors such as the vehicle's lateral and  vertical
movements, speed, and  movements of the wheels. The sensors  receive  data up to 500 times per second, which  is used
to provide extremely fast  and  precise adjustment of each shock absorber.  The system adjusts the stiffness of the shock
absorbers approximately 100 times per second.
Use the button in the center  console to switch between the driving modes Comfort and  Sport. This can be  done  at any
time.
Comfort
The Comfort mode chassis setting offers the greatest amount of shock absorption and  the softest ride. This mode is
recommended for long-distance driving, or when driving in slippery conditions. The indicator light in the button will
be  off when this  mode is selected.
If Comfort mode was selected when the engine was switched off, this  mode will still  be  active when the engine is
restarted.
Sport
In this  mode, shock absorption is stiffer to reduce the vehicle's body sway during cornering and  to provide more
immediate steering response. The indicator light in the button will come on to indicate that Sport mode has been
selected.
If this  setting was selected when the engine was switched off, Sport mode will still  be  active when the engine is
restarted.
Advanced sport (S60 R only)
In this  mode, movement of the shock absorbers is minimal, response from  pressure on the throttle pedal is more direct,
and  body sway in curves or when cornering is sharply  reduced.
If Advanced sport mode was selected when the engine was switched off, Sport mode  will be  active when the engine
is restarted.

 An intermittent signal will be  audible  from  the speakers  to indicate that you are approaching  a  person, object,
parked vehicle, etc. The signals begin when the distance between the bumper and  the object  is:
Rear: approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters)
Front : approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 meters)
 At a  distance of approximately 1 foot (30 cm), the signal will become constant. If objects are close to both the front
and  rear bumpers,  the signal will alternate  between the front  and  rear speakers.
Deactivating the system(s)
- Press the Park assist button on the center  console (see page 51
) to temporarily deactivate the system(s).
- The indicator light in the button will go out when the system(s) have been deactivated.
- If the vehicle is equipped with front  and  rear park assist, both systems will be  deactivated by pressing the button.
Park assist will be  automatically  reactivated  the next time the engine is started.
NOTE:  It may be  necessary  to deactivate one  or both of the park assist systems in certain cases.
Rear park assist : towing a  trailer, carrying bicycles in a  rear-mounted carrier, etc, could trigger the rear park assist
system's sensors.
Front  park assist : it may not be  possible to combine  auxiliary headlights and  front  park assist since these lights
could trigger the system's sensors.

Front/rear park assist (option/accessory)
Faults in the system
If the yellow warning symbol  illuminates  and  a  message is shown in the information display, the system is not
functioning properly. Consult a  Volvo retailer or authorized service technician.
Cleaning the sensors
For the system to function properly, the sensors  in the front  and/or rear bumpers  should be  kept clean. They can be
cleaned with car washing detergent and  a  sponge.
WARNING!
These systems are designed to be  a  supplementary aid when parking the vehicle. They are not, however,  intended  to
replace  the driver's attention and  judgement.
CAUTION!
In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning signals that can be  caused by external
sound sources that use the same ultrasound frequencies as the system. This may include  such things  as the horns of
other vehicles, wet  tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This does not indicate a  fault in
the system.
