Park Assist Camera (PAC) * guiding
lines and fields
The Park Assist Camera system uses guiding and lines and fields to indicate the vehicle'sposition in relation to its immediate surround-ings.
Guiding lines
Sample guidelines
The lines on the screen are projected as if they were a path on the ground around the vehicleand are directly affected by the way in which thesteering wheel is turned. This enables the driverto see path the vehicle will take, even if he/sheturns the steering wheel. These lines also indicate the outermost limits that any object (door mirrors, corners of the body, atrailer hitch, etc.) extends out from the vehicle,even when it turns.
NOTE
When backing up with a trailer, the guiding lines show the path that the vehicle will take,
not the trailer.
WARNING
Keep in mind that when the rear camera has been selected, the image on the screen onlyshows the area behind the vehicle. The drivermust always watch for people, animals, othervehicles, etc., near the sides or the front of thevehicle when turning while backing up. The opposite is true when the front camera is selected. Please note that the guiding lines show the shortest path. Be sure that the vehicle

Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selectedand are shown in the instru-ment panel as 1–5 horizontalbars. The greater the number ofbars, the longer the time inter-val.
One bar between the vehicles represents a timeinterval of approximately 1 second; 5 bars isapproximately 3 seconds. The same symbol appears if Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.
NOTE
• The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the
distance between them for a
set time interval.
• The set time interval is also used by Adaptive Cruise Control
*.
• Only use time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations.

Distance Alert * limitations
Distance Alert uses the same radar sensor as Adaptive Cruise Control * and has several limita-
tions.

• The radar sensor cannot cover all drivingsituations and traffic, weather and roadconditions.
• The driver is responsible for maintaining asafe distance and speed and must inter-vene if the various driver support systemsdo not maintain a suitable speed or suita-ble distance to the vehicle ahead.
• Maintenance of radar sensor componentsmay only be performed by a trained andqualified Volvo technician.
• Strong sunlight, reflections from the roadsurface, strong lighting contrasts or usingsunglasses may make the warning light inthe windshield difficult to see.
