Changing tolerance for the Automatic Speed Limiter
Posted speed limit toleranceASL can be set to allow the vehicle to drive a maximum of 5 mph (10 km/h) above or belowthe posted speed limit. For example, if the currentposted speed limit is 50 mph (70 km/h), thedriver can opt to allow the vehicle to drive at aspeed of 55 mph (80 km/h).
Function buttons and symbols
–Press the button (1) briefly to change
50 mph (70 km/h) to 55 mph (75 km/h) in the center of the speedometer (6).
> The vehicle will then use the selected tol- erance if the speed limit sign detected is 50 mph (70 km/h). This will continue untilthe vehicle passes a sign with a lower orhigher speed limit. The vehicle will thenadjust to the new maximum speed andthe set tolerance will be deleted from thesystem's memory. The set tolerance can be adjusted in the same way as the set Speed Limiter's setmaximum speed. If the Road Sign Information system * is
activated, the posted speed limit will be indicated by a RED marker (4) on thespeedometer's speed scale.

Road Sign Information (RSI) *
RSI is a feature that helps the driver see road signs showing the posted speed limit.
Examples of readable road signs
If the vehicle passes a sign showing the speed limit, this will be displayed in the instrument panel and the head-up display *.
WARNING
RSI does not function in all situations and is only intended to provide supplementary infor-mation. The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle safely.

limitations
RSI is a feature that helps the driver see road signs showing the posted speed limit.
RSI may have difficulty reading signs that are:
• Faded
• Located in a curve
• Twisted or damaged
• Positioned high above the road
• Obstructed (by bushes, etc.)
• Partially covered by snow, ice, etc.
The camera used by RSI (and other driver sup- port systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control *)
has certain limitations. See the article "City Safety limitations" for additional information.
NOTE
RSI may perceive certain types of bicycle holders (with wiring attached to the trailerelectrical socket) as a trailer, which may resultin faulty speed limit information to the driver.

Park Assist *
The Park Assist system is designed to assist you
when driving into parking spaces, garages, etc. An audible signal and symbols in the instrumentpanel and center display indicate the distance tothe object.
Display view showing object zones and sensor sectors
The center display shows an overview of the vehi- cle in relation to objects that have been detected. The highlighted sector shows which of the sen- sors has detected the object. The closer the vehi-cle symbol is to the highlighted sector, the closerthe actual object is to your vehicle. The Park Assist system uses an intermittent tone that pulses faster as you come closer to anobject. Sound from the infotainment system willbe temporarily turned down. The tone becomes constant when you are withinapproximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an object and theactive sensor fields will be completely filled in. Ifthere are objects within this distance both behindand in front of the vehicle, the tone alternatesbetween front and rear speakers. While an audible signal is being given, its volume level can be raised/lowered using the
>II control
in the center console.
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT a safety system. This system is designed to bea supplementary aid when parking the vehicle.It is not, however, intended to replace the driv-er's attention and judgement.
Rear park assist
The system's rear sensors are activated automat- ically when the engine is started and are active ifthe vehicle rolls rearward with the gear selector in N or if R has been selected.
The distance monitored behind the vehicle is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signalcomes from the rear speakers. The rear sensors will be deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine trailer wir-ing is used. If a non-Volvo trailer hitch is beingused, it may be necessary to switch off the sys-tem manually.
Side park assist
The system's side sensors are activated automat- ically when the engine is started and are active atspeeds below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.293
The distance monitored along the sides of the vehicle is approximately 1 ft (0.3 m). The audiblesignal comes from the side speakers.
Front park assist
The system's front sensors are activated auto- matically when the engine is started and areactive at speeds below approximately 6 mph(10 km/h). The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audible signalcomes from the front speakers. Front Park Assist is deactivated if the driver presses the brake pedal or if the gear selector is put in
P.
When installing auxiliary headlights, be sure that they do not obstruct the front sensors. Otherwise,these lights could trigger a Park Assist warning.

Activating/deactivating Park Assist
The Park Assist system can be turned on or off.
On/OffPark Assist's front and side sensors are activated automatically when the engine is started. Therear sensors activate if the vehicle rolls rearward in N or if P is selected.
This function can be activated/ deactivated in the center dis-play's Function view.
–Tap the Park Assist button.

Park Assist limitations
The Park Assist system has certain limitations.
NOTE
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with the vehicle's electrical system will be includedin the measurement of the available spacebehind the vehicle.
NOTE
• The system will not detect high objects, such as a loading dock, etc.
• Objects such as chains, thin shiny polesor low objects may temporarily not bedetected by the system. This may resultin the pulsing tone unexpectedly stoppinginstead of changing to a constant tone asthe vehicle approaches the object. Insuch cases, use caution when backing upor stop the vehicle to help avoid damage.
• In certain circumstances, the park assistsystem may give unexpected warning sig-nals that can be caused by externalsound sources that use the same ultra-sound frequencies as the system. Thismay include such things as the horns ofother vehicles, wet tires on asphalt, pneu-matic brakes, motorcycle exhaust pipes,etc. This does not indicate a fault in thesystem.
Cleaning the sensors
Location of the Park Assist sensors
The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they work properly. Clean them with waterand a suitable car washing detergent.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g., dirt, snow, or ice, this could result in false warningsignals from the park assist system.
