no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving
environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication
systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may
also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the
driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your
safety:
Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely.
Distraction can lead to a serious accident.In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance
regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle:
Never use a hand -held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a
driver while the vehicle is moving.
If your vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the
vehicle parked.
Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and
use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.
Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in
the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.

Mirrors
Calibrating the compass
Stop the car in a large, open area, away from traffic.
Turn off as many electrical devices in the car as possible to avoid interference with the compass (e.g. audio system,
etc).
Using a pen or similar object, hold the button (1) depressed for at least 6 seconds. "CAL" will be displayed.
Drive slowly in a circle at a maximum speed of 5 m.p.h. (8 km/h) until CAL is no longer displayed.
NOTE
This step can also be done by driving normally until CAL is no longer displayed.
Calibration is complete.
Power door mirrors
The mirror control switches are located on the driver's door armrest.
Driver's side
Press the L switch (an LED in the switch will light up) to activate the adjustment control and then use this control to
adjust the driver's door mirror.
Passenger's door
Press the R switch (an LED in the switch will light up) and then use the adjustment control to adjust the passenger's door
mirror.

The system must be deactivated when towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier, etc, which could
trigger the rear park assist system's sensors.
NOTE
Rear park assist is deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine trailer wiring is used.
Front park assist
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audible signal comes from the audio
system's front speakers.
It may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since these lights could trigger the
system's sensors.
152 06 Starting and driving
Front/rear park assist (option/accessory)
Activating/deactivating park assist
The system is activated automatically when the vehicle is started.
Press the Park assist button on the center console (see page 55) to temporarily deactivate the system(s). The
indicator light in the button will go out when the system has been deactivated.
Park assist will be automatically reactivated the next time the engine is started, or if the button is pressed (the
indicator light in the button will illuminate).
NOTE
Front park assist is disengaged automatically when the parking brake is applied.
If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will be deactivated by pressing the button.
Audible signals from the park assist system
The Park Assist system uses an intermittent tone that pulses faster as you come close to an object, and becomes
constant when you are within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an object in front of or behind the vehicle. If the volume
of another source from the audio system is high, this will be automatically lowered.
If there are objects within this distance both behind and in front of the vehicle, the signal alternates between front and
rear speakers.
Faults in the system
If the yellow warning symbol illuminates and PARK ASSIST SERVICE REQUIRED is shown on the
information display, this indicates that the system is not functioning properly and has been disengaged. Consult a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning signals that can be caused by external
