Park assist – troubleshooting
Faults in the systemIf the information symbol illuminates andPark assist syst Service required is shown
on the information display, this indicates that the system is not functioning properly andhas been disengaged. Consult a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning sig-nals that can be caused by external soundsources that use the same ultrasound fre-quencies as the system. This may includesuch things as the horns of other vehicles,wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This doesnot indicate a fault in the system.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC) – introduction
The Park Assist Camera is designed to pro- vide the driver with a view of the area behindthe vehicle when backing up.
IntroductionPAC uses the display in the center console toshow the area behind the car while you arebacking 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.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC) – function
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.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC) – guiding and marker lines
Guiding lines
The lines on the screen are projected as if they were a path on the ground behind thevehicle and are directly affected by the way inwhich the steering wheel is turned. This ena-bles the driver to see path the vehicle willtake, even if he/she turns the steering wheelwhile backing up.
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 the image on the screen only shows the area behind the vehicle.The driver must always watch for people,animals, other vehicles, etc., near the sidesof the vehicle when turning while backingup.
Marker lines

"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 wheelswill 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 Park assist – intro-duction (p. 232)), the distance to an objectwill be indicated more exactly and coloredmarkers in the display indicate which of thesensor(s) has detected the object.

LimitationsEven if a fairly small section of the screen image appears to be obstructed, this maymean that a relatively large area behind thevehicle is hidden and objects there may notbe detected until they are very near the vehi-cle.
NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories mounted on the tailgate may obstruct thecamera's field of view.
Keep in mind
•Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and snow. Remove ice and snow care-fully to avoid scratching the lens.

NOTE
The door panel indicator light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the sys-tem has detected another vehicle. If yourvehicle is passed on both sides at thesame time, both lights will illuminate.
The system helps provide information 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.

BLIS* – Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a supplementary BLIS 12
function intended to detect vehicles
crossing behind your vehicle while you are backing up.
Park assist/CTA button On vehicles equipped with the optional Park assist system (p. 232), Cross Traffic Alert(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.
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.
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 limitedand approaching vehicles cannot be detecteduntil they are too close:
