Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Protection*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.173 General
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-
trian Detection" is an aid to assist the driver
when there is a risk of colliding with a pedes-
trian or vehicle in front that is stationary or
moving in the same direction.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian
Detection is activated in situations where the
driver should have started braking earlier,
which is why it cannot help the driver in every
situation.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian
Detection is designed to be activated as late as
possible in order to avoid unnecessary inter-
vention.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian
Detection may prevent a collision or reduce the
collision speed.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian
Detection must not be used as an excuse for
the driver to change his/her driving style. If the
driver solely relies on Collision Warning with
Auto Brake to do the braking, there will be a
collision sooner or later.
Two system levelsDepending on how the car equipped, the Col-
lision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian
Detection function may appear in two variants:
Level 1 and Level 2.
Level 1The driver is merely warned of occurring obsta-
cles by means of visual and acoustic signals -
no automatic braking intervenes, the driver
must himself brake.
Level 2The driver is warned of occurring obstacles by
means of visual and acoustic signals - the car
is braked automatically if the driver himself
does not act within a reasonable time.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of components included in
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-
trian Detection must only be carried out in a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended.

Park assist syst*
04
188* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
An acoustic signal as well as symbols on the
centre console's display screen indicate the
distance to the detected obstacle.
Parking assistance sound level can be
adjusted during the ongoing acoustic signal
using the centre console's VOL knob or in the
car's menu system MY CAR - see page 202.
Parking assistance is available in two variants:
•Rear only
•Both front and rear.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's
electrical system, the protrusion of the tow-
bar is included when the function measures
the parking space.
WARNING
•Parking assistance does not relinquish
the driver's own responsibility during
parking.
•The sensors have blind spots where
obstacles cannot be detected.
•Be aware of e.g. people or animals near
the car.
Function
The system is automatically activated when the
engine is started - the switch's On/Off lamp is
illuminated. If parking assistance is switched
off with the button, the lamp goes out.
Display screen view - showing an obstacle left
front and right rear.
The centre console's display screen shows an
overview of the relationship between the car
and detected obstacle.
Marked sectors show which of the four sen-
sor(s) detected an obstacle. The closer to the
car symbol a selected sector box is, the shorter
the distance between the car and a detected
obstacle.
The frequency of the signal increases the
shorter the distance to an obstacle, in front of
or behind the car. Other sound from the audio
system is muted automatically.
When the distance is within 30 cm the tone is
constant and the active sensor's field nearest
the car is filled in. If the detected obstacle is
within the distance for the constant tone both

IMPORTANT
When fitting auxiliary lamps: Remember that
they must not obscure the sensors – the
auxiliary lamps could then be detected as
obstacles.
Fault indicator
If the information symbol illuminates
with constant glow and the informa-
tion display shows
Park assist syst Service
required then parking assistance is disen-
gaged.
IMPORTANT
In certain conditions the parking assistance
system may produce incorrect warning sig-
nals that are caused by external audio
sources that emit the same ultrasonic fre-
quencies that the system works with.
Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and
exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.
Cleaning the sensors
Sensor location, front.
Sensor location, rear.
The sensors must be cleaned regularly to
ensure that they work properly. Clean them
with water and car shampoo.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may
cause incorrect warning signals.
