Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivated when the vehicle is at a standstill and Pilot Assistwill go into standby mode. This means that thebrakes will be released and the vehicle couldbegin to roll. The driver must actively apply thebrakes to keep the vehicle stationary. This can occur if:
• the driver depresses the brake pedal
• the parking brake is applied
• the gear selector is moved to the
P, N or R
positions
• the driver puts Pilot Assist in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking BrakeIn certain situations, the parking brake will be applied to keep the vehicle at a standstill. This occurs if Pilot Assist is keeping the vehicle stationary using the brakes and:
• the driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt
• Pilot Assist has kept the vehicle at a stand-still for more than approx. 5 minutes
• the brakes overheat
• the driver switches off the engine manually.

Pilot Assist limitations
Pilot Assist functionality may be reduced in cer- tain situations.
Pilot Assist is a driver support function designed to simplify driving and assist the driver in manysituations. However, the driver is always responsi-ble for maintaining a suitable distance to vehiclesor objects around it and ensuring that the vehicleis correctly positioned in the traffic lane.
WARNING
In some situations, Pilot Assist may have trou- ble helping the driver properly or may bedeactivated automatically – we advise againstusing Pilot Assist in such cases. Examples ofsuch situations include:
• the lane markings are worn, missing or cross each other.
• lane division is unclear, for example, whenthe lanes divide or merge or at exits orwhen there are multiple sets of markings.
• edges or other lines than lane markingsare present on or near the road, e.g.curbs, joints or repairs to the road sur-face, edges of barriers, roadside edges orstrong shadows.
• the lane is narrow or winding.
• the lane contains ridges or holes.
• weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain,snow or fog or slush or reduced visibilitywith poor light conditions, backlighting,wet road surface, etc.
The driver should also note that Pilot Assist has the following limitations: • High curbs, roadside barriers, temporary obstacles (traffic cones, safety barriers,etc.) are not detected. Alternatively, theymay be detected incorrectly as lane mark-ings, with a subsequent risk of contactbetween the vehicle and such obstacles.

Park Assist front, rear and sides
Park Assist has different parameters depending on which part of the vehicle is approaching anobstacle.
Back
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle begins rolling backward or if reverse gear isengaged. The distance monitored begins approx. 1.5 meters (5 feet) behind the vehicle. The rear sensors will be automatically deactivated if the vehicle is backing up with a trailer attached.
NOTE
When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike car- rier on the trailer hitch – without Volvo originaltrailer cables – the Parking Assist system mayhave to be turned off manually to prevent thesensors from reacting to these.
Side sensors
Park Assist's side sensors are automatically acti- vated when the engine is started. They are activeat speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph). The distance monitored begins approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the sides. The audible signal for obsta-cles along the sides of the vehicle is emittedfrom the side speakers.
Front camera
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
Park Assist's front sensors are automatically acti- vated when the engine is started. The front sen-sors are active at speeds below 10 km/h(6 mph). The distance monitored begins approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.
NOTE
The Parking Assist system is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or when P
is selected on vehicles with automatic trans- mission.

CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy poles or low obstacles may end up in the "signalshadow" and then go temporarily undetectedby the sensors – the pulsating tone may thenunexpectedly stop instead of becoming aconstant tone as expected. The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as protruding ramps.
• In such situations, pay extra attention andmaneuver/drive the vehicle very slowly orstop the current parking maneuver –there may be a high risk of damage tothe vehicle or other objects since infor-mation from the sensors is not alwaysreliable in such situations.
CAUTION
In some circumstances, the Park Assist Sys- tem may produce false warnings due to exter-nal sound sources with the same ultrasonicfrequencies as those the system works with. Examples of such sources are horns, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noisefrom motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with the vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch pro-trusion is included when the function meas-ures the distance to objects behind the vehi-cle.

Park Assist Pilot *
Park Assist Pilot (PAP 123
) helps the driver pull
into and out of parking spaces.
PAP first checks whether there is sufficient space and then steers the car into the space. The center display uses symbols, graphics and messages to inform the driver of what steps needto be taken and when.
WARNING
• The PAP function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving andhelp make it safer – it cannot handle allsituations in all traffic, weather and roadconditions.
• Pay particular attention to people andanimals near the vehicle.
• PAP is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and steers the vehicle – the driver's role is to:
• keep close watch of the area around thevehicle
• follow the instructions on the center dis-play
• change gears (reverse/forward) – a"ping" sound indicates when the drivershould change gears
• regulate and maintain a safe speed
• apply the brakes and stop.

Parallel parking
Overview of parallel parking.
The PAP function parks the vehicle using the fol- lowing steps:
1. The system searches for and measures
potential parking spaces.
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space.
3. The vehicle's position in the space is adjusted by driving forward/backward.
The
Park Out function can be used to receive
assistance from PAP while pulling out of a park- ing space. See the heading "Pulling out of aparking space" under "Parking with Park AssistPilot".
Perpendicular parking
Perpendicular parking overview.
The PAP function parks the vehicle using the fol- lowing steps:
1. The system searches for and measures potential parking spaces.
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the space and its position is adjusted by driv-ing forward/backward.
NOTE
The PAP function Park Out cannot help the
vehicle leave a perpendicular parking space – the function should only be used for parallelparking.

Parking with Park Assist Pilot Park Assist Pilot (PAP 125
) helps the driver park
using three different steps. The function can also help the driver pull out of a parking space.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and steers the vehicle – the driver's role is to:
• keep close watch of the area around thevehicle
• follow the instructions on the center dis-play
• change gears (reverse/forward) – a"ping" sound indicates when the drivershould change gears
• regulate and maintain a safe speed
• apply the brakes and stop.
Information about the actions required by the driver are provided in the center display usingsymbols, graphics and/or text. PAP can be activated if the following criteria have been met after the engine is started: •
No trailer is hitched to the vehicle
• Your vehicle's speed is lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).

Park Assist Pilot PAP 126
may not be able to
detect all conditions in all situations and func- tionality may therefore be limited.WARNING
• The PAP function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving andhelp make it safer – it cannot handle allsituations in all traffic, weather and roadconditions.
• Pay particular attention to people andanimals near the vehicle.
• Bear in mind that the front end of thevehicle may swing out towards oncomingtraffic during the parking maneuver.
• Objects situated higher than the detec-tion area of the sensors are not includedwhen the parking maneuver is calculated,which could cause PAP to swing into theparking space too early. Such parkingspaces should be avoided for this reason.
• PAP is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
The driver should be aware of the following limi-tations for Park Assist Pilot:
The parking sequence is cancelledA parking sequence will be cancelled if:
• the driver moves the steering wheel
• the vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h (4 mph)
• the driver taps
Cancel in the center display
• when the anti-lock brakes or the Electronic stability control are engaged - e.g. when awheel loses grip on a slippery road
• when the power steering works at reduced power - e.g. during cooling due to overheat- ing (see section "Speed-dependent steeringforce").
A message in the center display will explain whythe parking sequence was cancelled.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances, PAP may not be able to find parking spaces – one reason maybe that the sensors are disrupted by externalsound sources that emit the same ultrasonicfrequencies that the system works with. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaustnoise from motorcycles, etc.

401
Location of the backup reader in the tunnel console.
If the Vehicle key not found message is shown
in the instrument panel at start, place the remote key at the backup reader and then make a newstart attempt.
NOTE
When the remote key is placed in the backup reader, make sure that no other vehicle keys,metal objects or electronic devices (e.g. cellu-lar phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are inthe backup reader. Multiple vehicle keys closeto each other in the backup reader can dis-rupt their functionality.
CAUTION
If the engine has not responded after 3 attempts – wait for 3 minutes before startinga new attempt. Starting capability increases ifthe starter battery is given time to recover.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the vehicle while driving or the vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
• Always remove the remote key from the passenger compartment when you leavethe vehicle and make sure the ignition is in mode
0.
• Always put the gear selector in
P and
apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unsu-pervised while the engine is running.
• Always open the garage door fully andmake sure that ventilation is very goodbefore starting the engine in a garage.The exhaust fumes produced by the vehi-cle contain carbon monoxide, which isinvisible and odorless but very toxic.
WARNING
Always take along the remote control key when leaving the vehicle and make sure thatthe vehicle electrical system is in ignition mode
0 – especially if there are children in
the vehicle.
NOTE
With a cold start, idling speed may be consid- erably higher than normal for certain enginetypes. This is done to get the emissions sys-tem up to normal operating temperature asquickly as possible, which minimizes exhaustemissions and protects the environment.
CAUTION
• When starting in cold weather, the auto- matic transmission may shift up at slightlyhigher engine speeds than normal untilthe automatic transmission fluid reachesnormal operating temperature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediatelyafter starting. This could prevent fluidsfrom properly lubricating vital compo-nents in the engine before it has reachedthe proper operating temperature.
• The engine should be idling when thegear selector is moved. Never accelerateuntil the gear is fully engaged. Accelerat-ing rapidly before a gear is properlyengaged could lead to harder wear ofcomponents.
• To help prevent the transmission oil from overheating, select
P or N when idling at
a standstill for prolonged periods of time.

Brake functions
The vehicle's brakes are used to reduce speed or prevent the vehicle from rolling.
In addition to the wheel brakes and parking brakes, the vehicle is also equipped with a num-ber of automatic brake assist functions. Thesesystems help the driver by e.g. keeping the vehi-cle stationary when the brake pedal is notdepressed (e.g. at a traffic light or intersection),when starting up a hill or when driving down a hill. Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, the following brake assist functions may be included:
• Auto-hold brakes (Auto Hold)
• Hill Start Assist (Hill Start Assist)
• Braking assist after a collision
• City Safety
