Opening/closing the tailgate with foot movement *
To facilitate the operation of the tailgate when your hands are occupied, it can be opened/closed by means of a forward kicking motionunder the rear bumper.
The sensor is positioned to the left of centre in the bumper 13
.
One of the car's remote control keys must be within range 14
behind the car in order for open-
ing/closing to be possible. This also applies to an already unlocked car in order to avoid accidentalopening e.g. in a car wash.
Operation
Kicking motion within the detector's valid activation area.
Opening/closing
NOTE
The foot-operated tailgate function is availa- ble in two versions:
• Opening and closing with foot movement
• Only unlocking with foot movement (liftup the tailgate manually to open it)
Note that the function for opening and clos-ing with foot movement requires the "Power operated tailgate" * option.
–Make one slow, forward kicking motion
under the left part of the rear bumper. Then take a step back. The bumper must not betouched.
> A short acoustic signal sounds when opening/closing is activated - the tailgate is opened/closed. If the tailgate is on open position then it is always closed on activation via foot move-ment.
The tailgate can also be closed via the instrumentpanel's button, the remote control key or the but- ton(s) 15
under the tailgate. For more information,
see the section "Power operated tailgate". If several kicking motions take place without an approved remote control key being locatedbehind the car, opening will not be possible untilafter a certain delay. Do not leave your foot positioned under the car during the kicking motion. This could cause acti-vation to fail.
Cancel opening/closing
–Make one slow forward kicking motion when
opening/closing is in progress in order to stop the movement of the tailgate.
The remote control key does not have to be inthe vicinity of the car to cancel opening/closing.
13 If the car is equipped with skid plate/diffuser * then the detector is positioned out towards the left-hand corner of the bumper.
14 See the section "Remote control key range" for more information.

Alarm
*
The alarm alerts e.g. in the event of a break-in in the car.
When armed, the alarm is triggered if:
• a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened 18
• a movement is detected in the passenger compartment (if fitted with a movement detector
*)
• the car is raised or towed away (if fitted witha tilt detector
*)
• the starter battery's cable is disconnected or
• the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, the driver display shows the symbol and the message
Alarm system
failure Service required. In which
case, contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter components in the alarm system yourself. Any suchattempts may affect the terms of the insur-ance.
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in the event of movement in the passengercompartment - air currents are also regis-tered. For this reason the alarm is triggered ifthe car is left with a window or the panoramic roof * open or if the passenger compartment
heater is used. To avoid this: Close the window/panoramic roof when leaving the car. If the car's inte-grated parking heater (or a portable electricheater) shall be used - direct the airflow fromthe air vents so that they are not pointingupwards into the passenger compartment.Alternatively, reduced alarm level can be used- see the section further down in this article.

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
20
.
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.

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.

Limitations of Parking assistance *
The Parking assistance function may have limita- tions in certain situations.
NOTE
Since a towbar is configured with the car's electrical system, towbar protrusion isincluded when the function measures the dis-tance to an object behind the car.
IMPORTANT
Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or low barriers may be in the "signal shadow" andare then temporarily not detected by the sen-sors - the pulsating tone may then unexpect-edly stop instead of changing over to theexpected constant tone. The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as projecting loading docks.
• In such situations, pay extra attention andmanoeuvre/reposition the car particularlyslowly or stop the current parkingmanoeuvre - there may be a high risk ofdamage to vehicles or other objects sinceinformation from the sensors is notalways reliable in such situations.
IMPORTANT
In certain conditions the parking assistance system may produce incorrect warning sig-nals that are caused by external soundsources that emit the same ultrasonic fre-quencies that the system works with. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes andexhaust noises from motorcycles, etc.
Maintenance
Location of the parking sensors 24
.
For parking assistance to work optimally, the parking assistance sensors must be cleaned reg-ularly with water and car shampoo.
