Besides the speed limit symbol an additional sign may beshown as well, such as "noovertaking".
If the driver enters a road marked with a no-entry sign atthe roadside, the symbol forthis sign flashes on and off onthe driver display as a warning.
If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation
*
then information from the map is also used to determine whether the car is being driven in thewrong direction. The driver can also get an acoustic warning when driving towards a no-entry entrance if the
Audio
Warning function is activated - see the heading
"Activating/deactivating the acoustic warning" in the section "Activating/deactivating Road SignInformation".
End of restriction or motorwayIf RSI detects a sign which may imply the end ofa speed limit, such as the end of a motorway, thedriver display shows the corresponding road signfor 10–30 seconds. Examples of such signs are: End of all restrictions.
End of motorway.
Following which, the sign information is hidden until the next speed-related sign is detected.
Additional signs
Examples of additional signs

.
Sometimes different speed limits are signed for the same road - an additional sign then indicatesthe circumstances under which the differentspeeds apply. The road section may be particu-larly susceptible to accidents in rain and/or fog,for example. An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use. If the car has a trailer attached and you pass a speed sign with the additional sign “trailer”, theindicated speed will appear on the driver display.
Some speed limits only applyafter a certain distance or at acertain time of day. The driver'sattention is drawn to this factby means of a symbol for anadditional sign below the speedsymbol. The additional symbol
in the driver display will show either “DIST” or“TIME”.
A symbol for additional sign in the form of an empty frameunder the driver display's speedsymbol means that the RSI hasdetected an additional signwith supplementary informationfor the current speed limit.
20 Road signs are market-dependent - illustrations in these instructions only show a few examples.

Limitations of Road Sign Information *
The Road Sign Information Road Sign Information - RSI function may have limitations incertain situations.
Examples of things that can reduce the RSI func- tion are as follows:
• Faded signs
• Signs positioned on bends
• Rotated or damaged signs
• Signs positioned high above the roadway
• Fully/partially obscured or poorly positionedsigns
• signs completely or partly covered with frost,snow and/or dirt
• digital road maps 21
are out-of-date, inaccu-
rate or have no speed information 22
.
NOTE
The RSI function can interpret some types of bicycle rack (connected to the electricalsocket for trailers) as a connected trailer. Insuch cases the driver may be shown incorrectspeed information.
NOTE
The function uses the car's camera unit, which has some general limitations, see the"Limitations for camera unit" section.

Driver Alert Control
The Driver Alert Control function is intended to attract the driver's attention when he/she startsto drive less consistently, e.g. if he/she becomesdistracted or starts to fall asleep.
The objective for DAC is to detect slowly deterio- rating driving ability and it is primarily intended formajor roads. The function is not intended for citytraffic. The function is activated when speed exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph) and remains active as long asthe speed is over 60 km/h (37 mph).
A camera detects the edge markings painted on the carriageway and compares the alignment ofthe road with the driver

Park Assist*
Parking assistance assists the driver when manoeuvring in tight spaces by indicating thedistance to obstacles by acoustic signals com-bined with graphics on the centre display.
Screen view showing obstacle zones and sensor sectors.
The centre display shows an overview of the rela- tionship between the car and detected obstacles. The highlighted sector indicates the location of the obstacle. The closer the car symbol is to ahighlighted sector box, the shorter the distancebetween the car and detected obstacle. The shorter the distance to the obstacle, the faster the signal sounds. Other sound from theaudio system is muted automatically. The acoustic signal for obstacles ahead and to the sides is active when the car is moving butstops after the car has been stationary for approx. 2 seconds. The acoustic signal for obsta-cles behind is also active when the car is station-ary. At a distance within 30 cm from an obstacle behind or in front of the car, the tone is constantand the active sensor's field closest to the carsymbol is filled. The volume of the parking assistance signal can be adjusted while the signal is sounding by means of the [
>II] knob on the centre console.
Adjustment can also be performed in the top view's
Settings menu option.
NOTE
• Acoustic warnings are only given for objects directly on the vehicle's route.
WARNING
•Parking assistance does not relinquish the driver's own responsibility duringparking.
• The sensors have blind spots whereobstacles cannot be detected.
• Be aware of e.g. people or animals nearthe car.
Backwards
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
The sensors for reverse are activated if the car rolls backward without a gear engaged or whenthe gear lever is moved to reverse position. The measuring range starts approx. 1.5 metres behind the car. When reversing with a hitched trailer, parking assistance backward is deactivated automatically.
NOTE
When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike car- rier on the towbar - without Volvo genuinetrailer wiring - parking assistance may need tobe switched off manually in order that thesensors do not react to them.

Park assist lines and fields for the Park Assist Camera *
The Park Assist Camera indicates the position of the car in relation to its surroundings by display-ing lines on the camera image.
Park assist lines
Examples of how the park assist lines can be displayed for the driver.
Park assist lines show the intended route for the car's external dimensions with the current steer-ing wheel angle - this facilitates parallel parking,reversing into tight spaces and when connectinga trailer. The lines on the screen are projected as if they were at ground level behind the car and responddirectly to steering wheel movements, showingthe driver the path the car will take - also whenthe car is turning. These park assist lines include the car's mostprotruding parts, e.g. towbar, door mirrors andcorners.
NOTE
Park assist lines are not shown when zoom- ing in.
NOTE
•
When reversing with a trailer which is not connected electrically to the car, the lines on the display show the route the
car will
take - not the trailer.
• The screen shows no lines when a trailer is connected electrically to the car's elec-trical system.
IMPORTANT
Remember that when rear camera view is selected, the centre display only shows thearea behind the car. Keep an eye on the sidesand front of the car when turning the steeringwheel while reversing. The same applies vice versa - note what hap- pens to the rear parts of the car when thefront camera view is selected. Note that the guide lines show the
shortest
route. Therefore, pay extra attention to the car's sides so that they do not go against/over something when the steering wheel isturned when driving forward or that the frontsweeps against/over something when thesteering wheel is turned when reversing.

Parking with Active parking assistance *
The Active parking assistance (Park Assist Pilot - PAP) helps the driver park in three steps. Thefunction can also help the driver to leave a park-ing space.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and steers the car - the driver's task is to:
• keep a close watch around the car
• follow the instructions in the centre dis-play
• change gear (reverse/forward)
• control and maintain a safe speed
• brake and stop.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria are met once the engine has been started:
• No trailer is attached to the car.
• Speed must be lower than 30 km/h(20 mph).
NOTE
The distance between the car and parking spaces should be 0.5-1.5 metres while PAPis searching for a parking space.
ParkingThe PAP function parks the car using the follow- ing steps:
1. A parking space is identified and measured.
2. The car is reversed into the space.
3. The car is positioned into the space - the
system may then request that the driver changes gear.
Finding and measuring parking spaces
The function can be activated in the centre display's functionview. It can also be accessed from the camera views.
Principle for parallel parking.
Principle for perpendicular parking.
1. Drive no faster than 30 km/h (20 mph) forparallel parking or 20 km/h (12 mph) for perpendicular parking.
2. Tap on the
Park In button in function view.
> PAP searches for a parking space and checks whether it is big enough.
3. Keep an eye on the centre display - be ready to stop the car when the graphic and mes- sage indicate that a suitable parking spacehas been found.
> A pop-up window is shown.
4. Select
Parallel parking or Perpendicular
parking and select reverse gear.

Parking on a hill
WARNING
Always use the parking brake when parking on an inclined surface. Engaging a gear or the automatic transmission's P position is not suf-
ficient to hold the car stationary in all situa- tions.
If the car is parked facing uphill: • Turn the wheels
away from the kerb.
If the car is parked facing downhill:
• Turn the wheels
towards the kerb.
Heavy load uphill
A heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the car to roll backward when the parking brake isreleased automatically on a steep incline. Avoid this by pulling the control upwards while drivingthe car away. Release the control when theengine achieves traction.

• Automatic braking when stationary (p. 412)
In the event of a fault in the parking brake
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if it is not possible to release or apply the parking brakeafter several attempts.
An acoustic warning signal sounds when driving with the parking brake applied. If the car has to be parked before a possible fault is rectified then the wheels must be turned as ifparking on a hill and the gear selector must be in position P, or engage first gear if the car has a
manual gearbox.
Low battery voltageIf the battery voltage is too low then the parking brake can neither be released nor applied. Con-nect a donor battery if the battery voltage is toolow.
Replacing the brake liningsThe rear brake linings must be replaced at aworkshop due to the design of the electrically-operated parking brake - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended.
