Park assist camera - limitations
The parking camera is an assist system and is activated when reverse gear is engaged.
NOTE
A bike carrier or other accessory mounted on the rear of the car could obscure thecamera's view.
To bear in mindPay attention to the possibility that, even if it only looks like a relatively small part of theimage is obscured, it could be a relativelylarge sector that is hidden from view. Obsta-cles could thereby go undetected until theyare very close to the car.
• Keep the camera lens free from dirt, ice and snow.
• Clean the camera lens regularly with luke-warm water and car shampoo - take carenot to scratch the lens.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed.
The On/Off button is located on the centre con- sole.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's electrical system, the protrusion of thetowbar is included when the functionmeasures the parking space.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - function
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and turns the steering wheel - the driver's taskis to follow the combined instrument pan-el's instructions and select the gear(reverse/forward), control the speed, brakeand stop.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria are met once the engine has been started:
• The functions DSTC or ABS must not intervene while the PAP function is ena-bled - these can be activated due to asteep or slippery surface, for example;see the sections on Foot brake and Sta-bility and traction control system for moreinformation.
• A trailer must not be connected to thecar.
• The speed must be below 50 km/h.
Principle for PAP.
The PAP function parks the car using the fol- lowing steps:
1. The function searches for a parking space and measures it (A & B) - during measure- ment the speed must notexceed 30 km/h.
2. The car is steered into the space while reversing (C & D).
3. The car is straightened up in the space by driving back and forth (E & F ).

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - operation
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed.
NOTE
Remember that certain steering wheel positions may obstruct the combinedinstrument panel's instructions when youturn it during the parking manoeuvre.
1 - Searching and checking measurements
The PAP function searches for a parking space and checks whether it is big enough.Proceed as follows:
1. Activate PAP by pressingthis button and do not drivefaster than 30 km/h.
2. Keep an eye on the combined instrumentpanel and be prepared to stop the car when the graphics and text so request.
3. Stop the car when the graphics and text so request.
NOTE
PAP searches the area for a parking space, displays instructions and guidesthe car in on its passenger side. But ifrequired the car can also be parked on thedriver's side of the street:
• Activate the direction indicator for the driver's side - the car is then parkedon that side of the street instead.

2 - Reversing in
During the Reversing step, PAP will steer the car into the parking space. Proceed as fol-lows:
1. Check that the area behind the car is
clear, then engage reverse gear.
2. Reverse slowly and carefully without touching the steering wheel - and no faster than approx. 7 km/h.
3. Keep an eye on the combined instrument panel and be prepared to stop the carwhen the graphics and text so request.
NOTE
•Keep your hands away from the steer- ing wheel when the PAP function isactivated.
• Make sure that the steering wheel isnot hindered in any way and can rotatefreely.
• For optimum results - Wait until thesteering wheel has been turned beforestarting to drive backwards/forwards.
3 - Straightening up
When the car has reversed into the parking space, it must be straightened up and stop-ped. 1. Engage 1st gear or
D position, wait until
the steering wheel has been turned, then drive slowly forwards.
2. Stop the car when the graphics and text message so request.
3. Engage reverse gear and drive back- wards slowly until the graphics and textmessage tell you to stop.
The function is disengaged automatically when parking is complete, and the graphicsand text message show that parking is com-plete. It may be necessary for the driver tocorrect the positioning afterwards. Only thedriver can determine whether the car is prop-erly parked.
IMPORTANT
The warning distance is shorter when the sensors are used by Active Park Assistcompared with when Park Assist uses thesensors.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - limitations
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed. The PAP sequence is stopped:
• if the car is driven too quickly - above 7 km/h
• if the driver touches the steering wheel
• if the ABS or DSTC function is enabled -e.g. if a wheel loses grip on a slipperyroad surface.
A text message indicates why the PAP sequence was stopped.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors will reduce their function and may preventmeasurement.
IMPORTANT
Under certain circumstances, PAP is unable to find parking spaces - one reasonfor this may be the fact that there is inter-ference with the sensors from externalsound sources which emit the same ultra-sound frequencies as those with which thesystem works. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakesand exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.
To bear in mindThe driver should bear in mind that the Park Assist Pilot is an aid - not an infallible, fully-automatic function. The driver must thereforebe prepared to intervene. There are also sev-eral details to bear in mind while parking, e.g.:
• PAP starts out from the current location of the parked vehicles - if they are inap-propriately parked then the car's tyresand wheel rims may be damaged againstkerbs.
• PAP is designed for parking on straightstreets - not sharp bends or turns in theroad. For this reason, make sure the caris parallel to the parking space when PAPmeasures the space.
• It is not always possible to find parkingspaces on narrow streets since there isnot enough space for manoeuvring. Insuch parking situations, it helps the sys- tem to drive as close to the side of theroad as possible where you intend topark.
• Bear in mind that the front of the car mayswing out towards oncoming traffic whilebeing parked.
• Objects situated higher than the detectionarea of the sensors are not included whencalculations are made for the parkingmanoeuvre. This may cause PAP toswing into the parking space too early -for this reason, such parking spacesshould be avoided.
• The driver is responsible for determiningwhether the space selected by PAP issuitable for parking.
• Use approved tyres 24
with the correct tyre
pressure - this affects PAP's ability topark the car.
• Heavy rain or snow may cause the sys-tem to measure the parking space incor-rectly.
• Do not use PAP if snow chains or the
spare wheel are fitted.
• Do not use PAP if loaded objects are pro-truding from the car.
24
"Approved tyres" refers to tyres of the same type and make as those fitted new on delivery from the factory.

IMPORTANT
The PAP system's parameters may need to be updated when changing to anotherapproved wheel rim size involving changedtyre circumference. Consult a workshop -an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-mended.
Maintenance
The PAP sensors are located in the bumpers 25
-
6 front and 4 rear.
For the PAP function to work correctly, its sensors must be cleaned regularly with waterand car shampoo - these are the same sen-sors that are used by parking assistance, seePark assist syst* - cleaning the sensors (p.243).

BLIS* (Blind Spot Information System)
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is a function designed for providing support forthe driver when driving in dense traffic onroads with several lanes in the same direction. BLIS is a driver's aid intended to provide a warning about:
• vehicles in the car's blind spot
• rapidly approaching vehicles in the left and right-hand lanes closest to the car.
The BLIS function CTA (p. 255) (Cross Traffic Alert) is a driver's aid intended to provide awarning about:
• crossing traffic when the car is reversed.
WARNING
BLIS is a supplementary aid and does not work in all situations. BLIS is no substitute for a safe driving style and the use of rearview and door mir-rors. BLIS can never replace the driver's responsibility and attention - it is alwaysthe driver's responsibility to change lanesin a safe manner.

BLIS* (Blind Spot Information System) - operation
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is a function designed for providing support forthe driver when driving in dense traffic onroads with several lanes in the same direction.
Activate/deactivate BLISBLIS is activated when the engine is started.This is confirmed by the indicator lamps inthe door panels flashing once.
Button for activating/deactivating.
The BLIS function can be deactivated/acti-
vated by pressing the BLIS button on the
centre console. Some combinations of the selected equip- ment leave no vacant space for a button inthe centre console - in which case the func-tion is handled by the car's menu system (p.103) MY CAR . When BLIS is deactivated/activated the lampin the button extinguishes/illuminates and thecombined instrument panel confirms thechange with a text message. The door panelindicator lamps flash once upon activation. To extinguish the message:
• Press the left stalk switch
OK button.
or
• Wait approx. 5 seconds - the message extinguishes.
When BLIS operates
Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone for rapidly approaching vehicle.
The BLIS function is active at speeds above approx. 10 km/h. The system is designed to react when: •
the driver's vehicle is overtaken by other vehicles
• the driver's vehicle is rapidly caught upby another vehicle.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, thedoor panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a con-stant glow. If the driver activates the directionindicator on the same side as the warning inthis situation then the BLIS lamp will changefrom a constant glow to flashing with a moreintense light.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends. BLIS does not work when the car is being reversed.
Limitations
• Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can reduce functionality and make it impossi-ble to provide warnings. BLIS cannotdetect hazards if it is covered.
• Do not affix any objects, tape or labels inthe area of the sensors.
• BLIS is deactivated when a trailer is con-nected to the car's electrical system.
