• Remote key (p. 239) Red Key - restricted remote key*
A Red Key makes it possible for the vehicle
owner to set limitations for certain vehicle prop-
erties. The limitations are intended to promote
safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it is loaned
out. For a Red Key, it is possible to define the vehi-
cle's maximum speed, set speed reminders and
limit the audio system's volume. Several of the
driver support systems will also always be active.
Otherwise, the Red Key functions in the same
way as a standard remote key.
One or more Red Keys can be ordered from a
Volvo retailer. A total of twelve keys can be pro-
grammed and used for the same vehicle. Up to
ten may be restricted keys, but at least two must
be standard remote keys.
These restrictions are intended to help reduce
the risk of accidents and help the driver feel more

Large animals
If there is a risk of colliding with a large animal,
City Safety can help reduce your vehicle's speed
by up to 15 km/h (9 mph).
The braking function for large animals is primarily
intended to mitigate the force of a collision at
higher speeds. Braking is most effective at
speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph) and less effec-
tive at lower speeds.
City Safety sub-functions Function overview
76
. Audio-visual collision warning
Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring City Safety carries out three steps in the follow-
ing order:
1.

Collision warning
2. Brake assistance
3. Auto-brake
Descriptions of what happens in these three
steps are provided below.
1 - Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an immi-
nent collision.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists or
vehicles that are stationary, are moving in the
same direction as your vehicle and are ahead of
your vehicle. City Safety can also detect pedes-
trians, cyclists or large animals that are crossing
the road in front of your vehicle.
If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian,
large animal, cyclist or another vehicle, or with a
vehicle described in the section "City Safety in
crossing traffic", the driver will be alerted with
light, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal. At
lower speeds, during hard braking or if the accel-
erator pedal is pressed, the brake pedal pulsation
warning will not be given. The intensity of the
brake pedal pulsations varies according to the
vehicle's speed.
2 - Brake assistance
If the risk of a collision increases after the colli-
sion warning, brake support will be activated.
If the system determines that the pressure the
driver is exerting on the brake pedal is insufficient
to prevent the collision, brake support will
increase pressure. 76

Park Assist*
The Park Assist function can help the driver
when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicating
distances to obstacles using audible signals and
graphics in the center display. Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor sec-
tors.
The center display shows an overview of the vehi-
cle in relation to objects that have been detected.
The marked sector indicates where the obstacle
is located. The closer the vehicle symbol is to a
marked sector, the closer the detected obstacle
is to your vehicle.
The audible signals will also speed up the closer
the obstacle is to the vehicle. The volume of the
audio system will be automatically lowered.
Audible signals for obstacles in front and to the
sides of the vehicle are active when the vehicle is moving but will cease after the vehicle has been
stationary for approx. 2 seconds. Audible signals
for obstacles behind the vehicle will remain active
even when the vehicle is stationary.
If a detected obstacle is within 30 cm (1 ft) from
the front or rear of the vehicle, the tone will
become constant and the active sensor's field
closest to the vehicle symbol will be filled in.
The volume of the Park Assist audible signals
can be adjusted while the signal is being given
using the >II knob or in the center display's Top
view under Settings.
NOTE •
Acoustic warnings are only given for
objects directly in front of the vehicle's
path.
WARNING •
The Parking Assist function is supple-
mentary driver support intended to facili-
tate driving and help make it safer – it
cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.
• The parking sensors have dead/blind
spots where objects cannot be detected.
• Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.
• Parking Assist is not a substitute for the
driver's attention and judgment. The driver
is always responsible for ensuring the
vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.

Battery drain
The electrical functions in the vehicle drain the
battery to varying degrees. Avoid using ignition
mode II when the engine is switched off. Use
ignition mode I instead, as this uses less electri-
cal current.
Note that certain accessories may also drain
power from the electrical system. Do not use
functions that use a lot of electrical current when
the engine is turned off. Examples of such func-
tions are: • blower
• headlights
• windshield wipers
• audio system (especially at high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, a message is
shown in the driver display. The vehicle's energy-
saving function will then turn off or reduce certain
functions, such as the blower and/or the audio
system.
– Charge the battery by starting the engine
and let it run for at least 15 minutes (driving
charges the battery faster than letting the
engine idle).

another battery can be used to start the vehicle. Jumper cable connecting points.
CAUTION
The charging point of the vehicle is only
intended for jump starting the vehicle in ques-
tion. The charging point is not intended for
jump-starting another vehicle. Using the
charging point to start another vehicle could
cause a fuse to blow, which would cause the
charging point to stop working.
If a fuse has blown, 12 V Battery Fuse failure

ment panel. Volvo recommends contacting an
authorized Volvo workshop. To avoid short circuits or other damage, the fol-
lowing steps are recommended when jump star-
ting the battery:

AUDIO, MEDIA AND INTERNET

(p. 539) Sound settings
The audio system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction but these settings can be
personalized.
The system's volume is normally adjusted using
the volume control below the center display or
the right-side steering wheel keypad. This
applies, for example, when playing music or the
radio or during phone calls and active traffic mes-
sages.
Optimal sound reproductionThe audio system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction using digital signal process-
ing. This calibration takes into account speakers,
amplifiers, passenger compartment acoustics, lis-
tener position, etc. for each combination of vehi-
cle model and audio system. There is also a
dynamic calibration that takes into account the
volume control setting and the vehicle's speed.
Sound settings as needed
In Top view under Settings Sound, the fol-
lowing settings can be selected:
• Tone — personal preference for bass, treble,
equalizer for example.
• Balance - balance between right/left and
front/rear speakers.
• System Volumes – adjusts volume in the
various systems of the car, e.g.
Voice
Control, Park Assist and Phone Ringtone.
