Cleaning the sensors
Location of the front sensors
Location of the rear sensors
The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they work properly. Clean them with water and a suitable car washing deter-gent. Ice and snow covering the sensors may cause incorrect warning signals.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g., dirt, snow, or ice, this could result in falsewarning signals from the park assist sys-tem.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC)*
04
202* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
The Park Assist Camera (PAC) uses the dis- play in the center console to show the areabehind the car while you are backing up. PAC also shows guiding lines in the on- screen image to indicate the direction that thevehicle will take as it moves rearward, whichhelps simplify parallel parking, backing into atight space or when attaching a trailer to thevehicle. The images of vehicles in this section are generic and may not depict your specificmodel.
NOTE
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with the vehicle's electrical system will beincluded in the measurement of the availa-ble space behind the vehicle.
WARNING
• PAC is designed to be a supplemen- tary aid when parking the vehicle. It isnot, however, intended to replace thedriver’s attention and judgment.
• The camera has blind spots where itcannot detect objects or peoplebehind the vehicle.
• Pay particular attention to people oranimals that are close to the vehicle.
• Objects seen on the screen may becloser than they appear to be.
Function
The driver sees what is behind the vehicle and if a person or animal should suddenlyappear from the side. PAC is mounted on the tailgate, near the opening handle. The camera has built-in electronics that help reduce the “fish-eye” effect so that the imageshown on the screen is as natural as possi-ble. This may cause some objects on thescreen to “lean,” which is normal.
Ambient lighting conditionsThe camera automatically monitors the ambi-ent lighting conditions behind the vehicle andconstantly adjusts sensitivity to light. Thismay cause the brightness and quality of theimage on the screen to vary slightly. Sensitiv-ity to light is increased in dark conditions or inbad weather, which may affect image quality. If the image on the screen seems too dark, brightness can be increased with the thumbwheel on the lighting panel.
NOTE
In order to function properly, the camera lens should always be kept clean. This isparticularly important in bad weather.Keep the lens free of dirt, ice or snow.

"Wheel tracks"
The dashed line (1) indicates the clear zone of approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) behind thebumper. These lines also indicate the outer-most limits that any object (door mirrors, cor- ners of the body, etc.) extends out from thevehicle, even when it turns. The "wheel tracks" (2) show where the wheels will roll and can extend up to approximately10.5 ft (3.2 m) behind the bumper if there areno objects in the way.
Vehicles equipped with Park Assist
Colored markers (one for each sensor) indicate distance If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Park Assist system (see page 198), the dis-tance to an object will be indicated moreexactly and colored markers in the displayindicate which of the sensor(s) has detected the object.

206* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
The off/on button shown is located on the center console
Park Assist Pilot (PAP) is a semi-automatic system that provides assistance when parallelparking by:
• Finding a parking space and determining if it is big enough for the vehicle
• Helping to steer the vehicle into the park-ing space
Information about the actions required of the driver is provided in the instrument panel inthe form of symbols, images and text.
NOTE
If a trailer hitch is configured in the vehi- cle's electrical system, PAP will take thetrailer hitch into consideration when deter-mining the necessary size of a parkingspace.
WARNING
• PAP does not function in all situations and is only intended to assist thedriver when parallel parking.
• As the driver, you have full responsibil-ity for parking the vehicle in a safemanner.
Function
PAP's function is to measure the parking space and to turn the steering wheel duringthe parallel parking procedure. The driver isresponsible for following the instructionsshown in the instrument panel and for: shift-ing between
R (Reverse) and D (Drive) when
required, regulating the vehicle's speed,applying the brakes and stopping the vehicle. PAP can be activated in the following condi- tions: •
When the stability or ABS systems are not working actively
• The vehicle is not towing a trailer
• The vehicle's speed is below30 mph (50 km/h)How PAP works
PAP helps park the vehicle by:
1. Searching for and measuring a parking space. While this is taking place, the vehi- cle's speed must be below 20 mph(30 km/h). See also steps A and B in the
illustration in the section "1: Searchingand measuring" on page 207.
2. Steering the vehicle as it backs into the parking space. See also steps C and D in

•
PAP may not be able to provide parking assistance on narrow streets due to lackof space to maneuver the vehicle. In sit-uations like this, it may help to drive asclose to the side of the road as possiblewhere the parking space is located.
• Use only approved tires with the correctinflation pressure because this affectsPAP's capacity to provide parking assis-tance. See the table on page 320.Changing to a different approved tire sizemay affect PAP's parameters. Consult atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.
• Heavy rain or snow may inhibit PAP'scapacity to correctly measure a parkingspace.
• Do not use PAP if snow chains or a tem-porary spare tire is being used.
• Do not use PAP if there are any objectsprotruding from the vehicle.
WARNING
• The front end of your vehicle may turn out toward oncoming traffic during theparking procedure.
• Objects located above the parkingsensors' field of vision are not includedwhen PAP measures a parking space.For this reason, PAP may turn into theparking space too soon. Avoid parkingspaces of this type.
• The driver is always responsible fordetermining if PAP has selected a suit-able parking space.
Maintenance
Generic illustration. The PAP sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers PAP uses the same sensors as the Park assist system (see page 201). The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they work properly. Clean themwith water and a suitable car washing deter-gent.
Symbols and messages
Various PAP-related combinations of sym- bols, graphics and text messages are dis-played in the instrument panel and some-times also include suitable actions. Contact a Volvo retailer or a trained and qualified Volvo service technician If a mes-sage indicating that PAP is not functioningproperly is displayed.

210* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
BLIS is an information system that indicates the presence of another vehicle moving in thesame direction as your vehicle on roads withseveral lanes. The system helps provide infor-mation about:
• Other vehicles in your door mirrors' "blind area"
• Vehicles that are about to pass your vehi-cle in the left and/or right lanes
• Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a supple- mentary BLIS function
intended to
detect vehicles crossing behind your vehicle while you are backing up.WARNING
• BLIS and CTA are information sys- tems, NOT warning or safety systemsand do not function in all situations.
• BLIS and CTA do not eliminate theneed for you to visually confirm theconditions around you, and the needfor you to turn your head and should-ers to make sure that you can safelychange lanes or back up.
• As the driver, you have full responsibil-ity for changing lanes/backing up in asafe manner.

• Wait for approx. 5 seconds for the mes- sage to disappear
When does BLIS function
Zone 1. Blind area, Zone 2. Area for passing vehicles
The system functions when your vehicle is moving at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). BLIS is designed to react to:
• Other vehicles in your door mirrors' "blind area"
• Vehicles that are passing your vehicle When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a passing vehicle in zone 2, the indicator light inthe door panel will glow steadily. If the driverthen uses the turn signal on the side on whichthe warning is given, the indicator light willflash and become brighter.
WARNING
•
BLIS does not function in sharp curves.
• BLIS does not function when yourvehicle is backing up.
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)
On vehicles equipped with the optional Park assist system (see page 198), Cross TrafficAlert (CTA) can be deactivated/reactivated bypressing the Park assist button on the centerconsole. The BLIS indicator lights on the frontdoors will flash when CTA is reactivated bypressing the button.

When does CTA function
How CTA works
CTA supplements BLIS by warning the driver of crossing traffic behind your vehicle, for example, when backing out of a parkingspace. It is primarily designed to detect another vehi- cle but in certain cases may also detectpedestrians or smaller objects such as bicy-cles. CTA is only activated when the vehicle is backing up and is activated automaticallywhen the gear selector is put in reverse.
• An audible signal indicates that CTA has detected something that is approachingfrom the side. The signal will come fromeither the left or right audio systemspeakers, depending on which the side ofyour vehicle the approaching vehicle/object has been detected.
• CTA also provides a warning by illuminat-ing the BLIS indicator lights.
• An icon will also illuminate in the Parkassist graphic on the center console dis-play.
LimitationsCTA has limitations in certain situations, for example, the CTA sensors cannot "see"through other parked vehicles or obstruc-tions. The following are several examples where CTA's "field of vision" may initially be limited and approaching vehicles cannot be detecteduntil they are too close:
The vehicle is pulled far into a parking space
