Collision warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection*
04
164* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection is designed to assist thedriver if there is a risk of a collision with apedestrian, a vehicle ahead that is at a stand-still or one that is moving in the same direc-tion as your vehicle. Collision Warning consists of the following three functions:
• Collision Warning
warns the driver of a
potential collision situation.
• Brake Support
helps the driver brake
efficiently in a critical situation.
• Auto-brake
brakes the vehicle automati-
cally if a collision with a pedestrian or another vehicle cannot be avoided andthe driver does not apply the brakes intime or steer around the person/vehicle.Auto-brake can help prevent a collision orreduce the speed at which a collisionoccurs.
Since Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection is activated in cir-cumstances where the driver should havebegun braking much sooner, the system willnot be able to assist the driver in all situa-tions. This system is designed to activate as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary interven-tion. The system should not be used in such a waythat the driver changes his/her way of operat-ing the vehicle. If the driver relies entirely onthe system, the chances of an accident even-tually occurring increase considerably. The Collision Warning and City Safety™ sys- tems supplement each other. See page 158for detailed information about City Safety™.
WARNING
No automatic system can be guaranteed to function 100% correctly in all situations.For that reason, never test the Auto-brakesystem by driving toward a person orobject. This could result in serious injury ordeath.
WARNING
•
Collision Warning does not work in all driving, traffic, weather and road con-ditions. It does not react to vehiclesnot traveling in the same direction asyour vehicle.
• Collision Warning does not react toanimals.
• Warnings are only provided when therisk of collision is high. The "Function"section provides information aboutlimitations that the driver must beaware of before using Collision Warn-ing.
• Collision Warning will not provide awarning or brake the vehicle forpedestrians at speeds above 50 mph(80 km/h).

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.179
Signals from the park assist system
View in the display (warning for objects front left/ right rear)
Visual indicatorThe audio system’s display gives an overview of the vehicle’s position in relation to adetected object. The marked sectors in the display indicate that one or more of the sensors has detectedan object. The closer the car symbol comesto a sector, the closer the vehicle is to theobject. If the infotainment system is switched off, the park assist system will not be able to providea visual indicator. An audible signal will stillbe provided.
Audible signalThe Park Assist system uses an intermittenttone that pulses faster as you come close toan object, and becomes constant when youare within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of anobject in front of or behind the vehicle. Ifthere are objects within this distance bothbehind and in front of the vehicle, the tonealternates between front and rear speakers.
NOTE
The level of the audible signal can be low- ered/raised with the infotainment volumecontrol. The level can also be set in the MYCAR menu system. See page 197 for adescription of the menu system.
If the volume of another source from the audio system is high, this will be automati-cally lowered.
Rear park assist
The distance monitored behind the vehicle is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signalcomes from the rear speakers. The system must be deactivated when towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mountedcarrier, etc, which could trigger the rear parkassist system's sensors.

180* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
• Rear park assist is deactivated auto- matically when towing a trailer if Volvogenuine trailer wiring is used. If a non-Volvo trailer hitch is being used, it maybe necessary to switch off the systemmanually, see page 178.
• The system will not detect highobjects, such as a loading dock, etc.
• Objects such as chains, thin shinypoles or low objects may temporarilynot be detected by the system. Thismay result in the pulsing tone unex-pectedly stopping instead of changingto a constant tone as the vehicleapproaches the object. In such cases,use caution when backing up or stopthe vehicle to help avoid damage.
Front park assist
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audiblesignal comes from the audio system's frontspeakers. It may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since theselights could trigger the system's sensors.
NOTE
Front park assist is deactivated when the parking brake is applied and or when thegear selector is in the
P position.
Faults in the system
If the information symbol illuminates andPark assist syst Service required is shown
on the information display, this indicates that the system is not functioning properly andhas been disengaged. Consult a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning sig-nals that can be caused by external soundsources that use the same ultrasound fre-quencies as the system. This may includesuch things as the horns of other vehicles,wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This doesnot indicate a fault in the system.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC)*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.183
Using PAC
Activation
PAC is activated when the gear selector is moved to R if the system is selected in the
MY CAR menu system or by pressing the
CAM button in the center console. See page
197 for a description of the menu system. If the Volvo Navigation System (VNS) is in use, PAC will automatically override the navi-gation system to show the camera's imageon the screen instead of navigation informa-tion, for as long as reverse gear is selected.
ZoomThe camera can be useful when attaching atrailer. Press CAM to zoom in on the trailer
hitch (and press this button again to return tothe normal camera view). With the camera zoomed in on the trailerhitch, a guiding line showing the hitch's pathtoward the trailer will be projected. This fea-ture can be activated in the
MY CAR menu.
See page 197 for a description of the menusystem. The guiding lines for the wheels (seethe following section "Guiding lines") and forthe trailer hitch cannot be displayed at thesame time. If the camera shows an enlarged (zoomed) image, turn TUNE counterclockwise, or press
EXIT , CAM or OK to return to a normal view.
DeactivationMove the gear selector from R to another
position. There is a slight delay in the PACsystem, which means that the view frombehind the vehicle will remain on the screenfor approximately 15 seconds after the gearselector has been moved from the R position
or until the vehicle reaches a forward speedof 6 mph (10 km/h). The screen will thenrevert to the mode that it was in before R was
selected and will, for example, display navi-gation system information.
NOTE
If any button on the center console control panel is pressed, the camera image willdisappear from the display. Pressing CAM
will return the camera image to the display.
Guiding lines
The lines on the screen are projected as if they were a path on the ground behind thevehicle and are affected by the way in whichthe steering wheel is turned. This enables thedriver to see path the vehicle will take, even ifhe/she turns the steering wheel while backingup.
NOTE
When backing up with a trailer, the guiding lines show the path that the vehicle will
take, not the trailer.
