Radar sensor's field of vision (shown in pink)
In certain situations, the radar sensor cannot detect vehicles at close quarters, for examplea vehicle that suddenly enters the lanebetween your vehicle and the target vehicle.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehi- cles not driving in the center of the lane mayremain undetected.
In curves, the radar sensor may detect the wrong vehicle or lose sight of the target vehi-cle.

Collision warning – introduction Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is designed to assist the driver if there is arisk of a collision with a pedestrian, a cyclist, avehicle ahead that is at a standstill or one that ismoving in the same direction as your vehicle.
This system consists of the following three func- tions:
• Collision Warning
warns the driver of a
potential collision situation.
• Brake Support
helps the driver brake effi-
ciently in a critical situation.
• Auto-brake
brakes the vehicle automatically
if a collision with a pedestrian, a cyclist oranother vehicle cannot be avoided and thedriver does not apply the brakes in time orsteer around the person/vehicle. Auto-brakecan help prevent a collision or reduce thespeed at which a collision occurs.
Since Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with FullAuto Brake is activated in circumstances wherethe driver should have begun braking muchsooner, the system will not be able to assist thedriver in all situations. This system is designed to activate as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary intervention. The system should not be used in such a way that the driver changes his/her way of operatingthe vehicle. If the driver relies entirely on the sys- tem, the chances of an accident eventually occur-ring increase considerably. The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake and City Safety
™ systems supple-
ment each other. See City Safety – introduction (p. 194) for detailed information about City Safety ™.
WARNING
No automatic system can be guaranteed to function 100% correctly in all situations. Forthat reason, never test the Auto-brake systemby driving toward a person or object. Thiscould result in serious injury or death.

The system cannot identify all pedestrians
The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake system can only identify and detect apedestrian who is standing upright. This personcan be standing still, walking or running. This means that the system has to be able to identify a person's head, arms, shoulders, legs,the upper and lower parts of the body and a per-son's pattern of movement when walking or run-ning. If parts of the body are not visible to the camera, the system cannot detect the pedestrian. The following conditions apply:
• In order to detect a pedestrian, the system must have a full view of the person's entire

body and the person must be at least 32 in. (80 cm) tall.
• The system cannot detect a pedestrian carry-ing a large object.
• The camera's capacity to see a pedestrian atdawn or dusk is limited, much as it is for thehuman eye.
• The camera's function is deactivated and willnot detect a pedestrian in darkness or in tun-nels, even if there is street lighting in thearea.

Collision warning
* – limitations
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is notlooking straight ahead may make the visual warn-ing signal in the windshield difficult to see. Forthis reason, always activate the audible warningsignal. Slippery driving conditions increase braking dis- tance, which can reduce the system's capacity toavoid a collision. In these conditions, the ABS andstability systems provide the best possible brak-ing effect while helping to maintain stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal may be temporarily disengaged in the event of high passengercompartment temperature due to strong sun-light, etc. If this occurs, the audible warningsignal will be used, even if it has been deacti-vated in the menu system.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP) * –
introduction
The Park Assist Pilot provides assistance when parallel parking by measuring the parking spaceand turning the steering wheel.
Introduction
The off/on button shown is located on the center con- sole
Park Assist Pilot (PAP) is a semi-automatic sys- tem that provides assistance when parallel park-ing by:
• Finding a parking space and determining if itis big enough for the vehicle
• Helping to steer the vehicle into the parkingspace
Information about the actions required of thedriver is provided in the instrument panel in theform of symbols, images and text.
NOTE
If a trailer hitch is configured in the vehicle's electrical system, PAP will take the trailerhitch into consideration when determining thenecessary size of a parking space.
WARNING
• PAP does not function in all situations and is only intended to assist the driverwhen parallel parking.
• As the driver, you have full responsibilityfor parking the vehicle in a safe manner.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)
* – function
PAP's function is to measure the parking space and to turn the steering wheel during the parallelparking procedure. The driver is responsible forfollowing the instructions shown in the instru- ment panel and for: shifting between R (Reverse)
and D (Drive) when required, regulating the vehi-
cle's speed, applying the brakes and stopping the vehicle. PAP can be activated in the following conditions:
• When the stability or ABS systems are not working actively
• The vehicle is not towing a trailer
• The vehicle's speed is below 30 mph(50 km/h)
How PAP works
PAP helps park the vehicle by:

Park Assist Pilot (PAP) * – limitations
The PAP parking procedure will be cancelled if.
• The vehicle's speed goes above approxi- mately 4 mph 7 km/h
• The driver moves the steering wheel
• If the stability or ABS systems are activated(e.g., if a wheel starts to spin because of aslippery road surface
If the system has been switched off, this will beindicated by a text message in the instrumentpanel.
NOTE
• PAP will not function correctly if its sen- sors are obstructed by dirt, snow, etc.
• In certain situations, PAP may not be ableto measure a parking space. This couldbe due to external sources of sound (e.g.,a vehicle's horn, tires on wet asphalt,pneumatic brakes, noise from a motorcy-cle's exhaust, etc.) emitting ultrasoundusing approximately the same frequen-cies as PAP.
Information to keep in mind
PAP is only intended to provide parallel parking assistance but may not be able to function fully inall situations. •
PAP's function is based on the way that thevehicles are parked behind and in front ofyour parking space. If they are, for example,parked too close to the curb, there is a riskthat your vehicle's tires or wheel rims couldbe damaged by the curb during the parkingprocedure.
• PAP is intended to provide parking assis-tance on straight streets, not sections ofstreet with curved or irregular curbs. Be surethat your vehicle is parallel to the curb whenPAP measures the parking space.
• PAP may not be able to provide parkingassistance on narrow streets due to lack ofspace to maneuver the vehicle. In situationslike this, it may help to drive as close to theside of the road as possible where the park-ing space is located.
• Use only approved tires with the correct infla-tion pressure because this affects PAP'scapacity to provide parking assistance.Changing to a different approved tire sizemay affect PAP's parameters. Consult atrained and qualified Volvo service technician.
• Heavy rain or snow may inhibit PAP'scapacity to correctly measure a parkingspace.
• Do not use PAP if snow chains or a tempo-rary spare tire is being used.
• Do not use PAP if there are any objects pro-truding from the vehicle.
WARNING
• The front end of your vehicle may turn out toward oncoming traffic during the park-ing procedure.
• Objects located above the parking sen-sors' field of vision are not included whenPAP measures a parking space. For thisreason, PAP may turn into the parkingspace too soon. Avoid parking spaces ofthis type.
• The driver is always responsible for deter-mining if PAP has selected a suitableparking space.
