Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)*
Lane Keeping Aid is one of the functions in the Driver Alert System - sometimes alsoreferred to as LKA (Lane Keeping Aid). The function is intended for use on motor- ways and similar major roads in order toreduce the risk of the vehicle accidentallyleaving its own lane in certain situations.
Lane Departure Warning LDW or LKAVolvo has developed two different systemsfor lane keeping assistance:
• LDW -
Lane Departure Warning which
only warns the driver.
• LKA -
Lane Keeping Aid(Lane Keeping Aid) which, in addition to warning the driver, also actively steers thecar.
The Volvo V60 can be supplied with both vari- ants - market and engine alternatives deter-mine which of the systems the car is equip-ped with. In the event of uncertainty whether the car has LDW or LKA:
• Open the menu system
MY CAR and

system - which specifies Lane
Departure Warning whether the car has
LDW or Lane Keeping Aid for LKA.
Principle for LKA
(The figure is schematic - not model specific.) A camera detects the painted the side lines of the road/lane. If the car is about to cross aside line, the Lane Keeping Aid will activelysteer the car back into the lane with a slightsteering torque in the steering wheel. If the car reaches or crosses a side line, the Lane Keeping Aid will also alert the driver withpulsating vibration in the steering wheel.
WARNING
LKA is merely a driver's aid and does not engage in all driving situations or traffic,weather or road conditions. The driver always bears ultimate responsi- bility for ensuring that the vehicle is drivensafely and that applicable laws and roadtraffic regulations are followed.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - function
Certain settings can be made for the Lane Departure Warning function.
Off & OnThe Lane Keeping Aid is active within thespeed interval 65-200 km/h on roads withclearly visible side lines. The function is tem-porarily deactivated on narrow roads withless than 2.6 metres between the lane's sidelines.
Press the button in the centre console to acti- vate or deactivate the function. The functionis switched on if one lamp is illuminated in thebutton. Some combinations of the selected equip- ment leave no vacant space for an On/Offbutton in the centre console - in which casethe function is instead handled in the car'smenu system
MY CAR. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 103). In addition, the following selections can be made in MY CAR :
• Warning with vibration in the steering wheel: -
On or Off.
• Active steering: -
On or Off.
• Both, Warning with vibration in the steer- ing wheel and Active steering: -
On orOff.
Active steeringThe Lane Keeping Aid strives to keep the car within the side lines for the lane.
LKA intervenes and steers away.
If the vehicle approaches the left or right side line of the lane and the direction indicator is not activated, the car is steered back into thelane.
Warning with vibration in steering wheel
LKA steers and warns with pulsating steering wheel vibration
21
.
If the vehicle crosses a side line, the Lane Keeping Aid warns the driver with pulsatingvibration in the steering wheel. This occursregardless of whether the car is activelysteered back by applying a slight steering tor-que.
21 The figure shows 3 pulsating vibration when the side line is crossed.

Dynamic cornering
LKA does not intervene in sharp inside bends. In certain cases, the Lane Keeping Aid allows the car to cross side lines without engagingactive steering or warning with pulsatingvibration in the steering wheel. Using an adja-cent lane for dynamic cornering when there isa clear line of vision is an example of onesuch case.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - operation
Lane Keeping Aid is supplemented with self- explanatory graphics in different situations.Here are some examples:
NOTE
LKA is temporarily deactivated for as long as the direction indicator is switched on.
LKA "sees" and follows the side lines (marked in red in the figure).
If the Lane Keeping Aid is active and detects/"sees" the side lines, the LKA symbolindicates this with WHITE lines.
• GREY side line - the Lane Keeping Aid does not see a line on that side of the car.
LKA intervenes on the right-hand side (marked in red in the figure).
The Lane Keeping Aid intervenes and steers away from the side line - this is indicatedwith:
• RED line for the side in question.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - limitations
The Lane Keeping Aid camera sensor is restricted in a similar way to the human eye.
• For more information, read about camera sensor limitations (p. 220) and seeColli-sion warning system* - operation (p. 217).
NOTE
In certain demanding situations LKA may find it difficult to assist the driver correctly- in which case it is recommended thatLKA is switched off. Examples of such a situation could be:
• roadworks
• winter road conditions
• poor road surface
• very sporty driving style
• poor weather with reduced visibility.
Hands on the steering wheelIn order for Lane Keeping Aid to operate, the driver must have his/her hands on the steer-ing wheel. LKA continually monitors this. Ifhands are not detected on the steering wheelthen a text message is shown, prompting thedriver to actively steer the car. If the driver does not follow the request to begin steering, Lane Keeping Aid goes intostandby mode and will remain in this modeuntil the driver begins to steer the car again.

Park assist camera
The parking camera is an assist system and is activated when reverse gear is engaged (canbe changed in the settings menu (p. 246)). The camera image is shown on the centre console's screen.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's electrical system, the protrusion of thetowbar is included when the functionmeasures the parking space.
WARNING
• The parking camera serves as an aid. It does not relieve the driver of respon-sibility when reversing.
• The camera has blind spots, whereobstacles cannot be detected.
• Be aware of people and animals in thevicinity of the car.
Function and operation
CAM
button location.
The camera shows what is behind the car and if something appears from the sides. The camera shows a wide area behind the car and part of the bumper and any towbar. Objects on the screen may appear to tilt slightly - this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the display screen may be closer to the car than they appear to be onthe screen.
If another view is active the parking camera system takes over automatically and thecamera image is displayed on the screen. When reverse gear is engaged two unbroken lines are shown graphically which illustrate where the car's rear wheels will roll with thecurrent steering wheel angle, this facilitatestight parking, reversing into tight spaces andfor hitching a trailer. The car’s approximateexternal dimensions are illustrated by meansof two dashed lines. These park assist linescan be switched off in the settings menu. If the car is also equipped with parking assis- tance sensors* then their information is dis-played graphically as coloured fields in orderto illustrate the distance to detected obsta-cles, see the heading "Cars with reversingsensors" later in the text. The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after reverse gear has been disengaged or until thecar's speed exceeds 10 km/h forward or35 km/h backward.

Light conditionsThe camera image is adjusted automatically according to prevailing light conditions.Because of this, the image may vary slightlyin brightness and quality. Poor light condi-tions can result in a slightly reduced imagequality.
NOTE
Keep the camera lens clear of dirt, snow and ice to ensure optimum function. Thisis particularly important in poor light.
Park assist lines
Examples of how the park assist lines can be dis- played for the driver.The lines on the screen are projected as if they were at ground level behind the car andare directly related to steering wheel move- ment, which shows the driver the path the carwill then take - also when the car is turning.
NOTE
•
When reversing with a trailer which is not connected electrically to the car,the lines on the display show the routethe
car will take - not the trailer.
• The screen shows no lines when atrailer is connected electrically to thecar's electrical system.
• The parking camera is deactivatedautomatically when towing a trailer if aVolvo genuine trailer cable is used.
IMPORTANT
Bear in mind that the screen only shows the area behind the car - pay attention tothe sides and front of the car whenmanoeuvring during reversing.

"Wheel tracks"
The dashed line (1) frames in a zone up to about 1.5 m back from the bumper. It is alsothe limit of the car's most protruding parts,such as door mirrors and corners - also whenthe car is turning. The wide "wheel tracks" (2) between the side lines indicate where the wheels will roll andcan extend about 3.2 m back from thebumper if no obstacle is in the way.

towbar's intended "trajectory" toward the trailer can be shown on the screen - just asfor the "wheel tracks".
• If precise manoeuvring is required then the towbar can be zoomed in by pressingCAM
- pressing the button again returns
to normal view.
The towbar's park assist line is activated in
the menu system after pressing OK/MENU
where you can select to display either the "wheel tracks" or the towbar's trajectory -both options cannot be shown simultane-ously.

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.
