Park Assist*
The Park Assist system is designed to assist youwhen 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 thehighlighted sector is to the vehicle symbol, thecloser the actual object is to your vehicle.
The Park Assist system uses an intermittent tonethat pulses faster as you come closer to anobject. Sound from the infotainment system willbe temporarily turned down.
The audible signals for objects in front of and tothe sides are active while the vehicle is movingand will stop after the vehicle has been stoppedfor approx. 2 seconds. The audible signals forobjects behind the vehicle are active even whenthe vehicle has stopped moving.
The audible signal becomes constant when youare within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an objectand the highlighted sensor field is filled in.
While an audible signal is being given, its volumelevel can be raised/lowered using the >II controlin the center console or can be adjusted in thecenter displays Top view under Settings.
NOTE
Audible alerts will only be provided for objectsthat are directly in the vehicle's path.
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT asafety 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 selectorin N or if R has been selected.
The distance monitored behind the vehicle isapproximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signalcomes from the rear speakers.
The rear sensors will be deactivated automaticallywhen 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.

Backing up
Location of the rear Park Assist Camera (generic illus-tration)
The rear camera shows a wide area behind thevehicle and on certain models, part of the bumperand the trailer hitch (if installed) will be visible.
Some objects on the screen may appear to “lean”slightly, which is normal.
WARNING
People/objects/obstructions displayed on thecenter console screen may be closer to thevehicle than they appear.
Front camera
Location of the front Park Assist Camera (generic illus-tration)
The front camera is located behind the grill andcan be useful when driving off in areas with lim-ited visibility (hedges, bushes, etc). It is active atspeeds up to approx. 16 mph (25 km/h) and isautomatically turned off when the vehicleexceeds this speed.
However, if the vehicle's speed does not exceed30 mph (50 km/h) and its speed goes under14 mph (22 km/h) within 60 seconds after thecamera has been switched off, the front camerawill reactivate.

Park Assist Camera (PAC)*trajectory lines and fields
The Park Assist Camera system uses trajectorylines and fields to indicate the vehicle's positionin relation to its immediate surroundings.
Trajectory lines
Sample guidelines
The trajectory lines are intended to show theposition of the vehicle's outermost dimensionsbased on the current position of the steeringwheel to help simplify parallel parking, backinginto tight spaces or when attaching a trailer.
The lines on the screen are projected as if theywere 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 thatany 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 trajectorylines show the path that the vehicle will take,not the trailer.
Trajectory lines will not be displayed whilezooming in.
WARNING
Keep in mind that when the rear camera hasbeen 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 isselected.
Please note that the trajectory lines show theshortest path. Be sure that the vehicle

Park Assist Camera* (PAC)limitations
The Park Assist Camera system has certain limi-tations that the driver should be aware of.
NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories mountedon the tailgate may obstruct the camera'sfield of vision.
Blind sectors
Even if a fairly small section of the screen imageappears to be obstructed, this may mean that arelatively large area is hidden and objects theremay not be detected until they are very near thevehicle.
The "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of vision
With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles maynot be detected at the edges of the individualcameras' fields of vision.
Defective camera
If a camera sector is dark andcontains this symbol, this indi-cates that the camera is notfunctioning properly (see thefollowing illustration).
In this example, the driver's side camera is not function-ing
Dark camera sectors
A dark camera sector may also be displayed inthe following situations but without the defectivecamera symbol. A sector may be dark because:
•the door mirror is folded in
•the door is open
•the tailgate is open
Ambient lighting
The camera images are adjusted automatically tothe ambient light, which means the image mayvary slightly in terms of light and quality. Poorambient lighting may reduce the quality of theimage.
Maintenance
•Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice andsnow. This is particularly important in poorambient lighting conditions.
•Remove dirt, ice and snow carefully to avoidscratching the lenses.
•Clean the lens regularly with warm water anda suitable car washing detergent.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*
Park Assist Pilot (PAP) helps the driver drive intoparallel or perpendicular parking spaces andleave parallel parking spaces.
Park Assist Pilot provides assistance when park-ing by measuring the parking space and turningthe steering wheel to guide the vehicle into thespace.
Information about the actions required by thedriver is provided in the center display in the formof symbols, images and text.
NOTE
While PAP is active, the driver's task is to:
•carefully monitor the area around thevehicle
•follow the instructions provided in thecenter display
•select a gear (D or R) when prompted
•regulate the vehicle's speed
•apply the brakes when necessary andstop the vehicle
Types of parking
Parallel parking
Procedure for parallel parking
PAP helps park the vehicle as follows:
1.The system searches for and measures apossible parking space. While this is beingdone, the vehicle's speed may not exceedapprox. 20 mph ( 30 km/h). When backinginto a space, the speed may not exceedapprox. 4 mph ( 7 km/h).
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing intothe parking space. The driver controls thevehicle's speed.
3. The vehicle's position in the parking space isadjusted by prompting the driver to move for-ward and rearward while the system steers.
Perpendicular parking
Procedure for perpendicular parking
PAP helps park the vehicle as follows:
1.The system searches for and measures apossible parking space. While this is beingdone, the vehicle's speed may not exceedapprox. 4 mph ( 7 km/h).
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing intothe parking space and its position in thespace is adjusted by prompting the driver toselect D or R while the system steers. Thedriver has to control the vehicle's speed.
NOTE
PAP's Park out function cannot be used tohelp a vehicle leave a parking space if thePerpendicular parking function was usedto park the vehicle.
