Park Assist front, rear and sides*
Park Assist behaves differently depending onwhich part of the vehicle is approaching anobstacle.
Front camera
The warning signal has a continuous tone when theobstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehi-cle.
The Parking Assist system's front sensors areautomatically activated when the engine isstarted. They are active at speeds below 10 km/h(6 mph).
The distance monitored extends approx. 80 cm(2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.
NOTE
The Parking Assist system is deactivatedwhen the parking brake is used or when P isselected on vehicles with automatic transmis-sion.
CAUTION
When installing auxiliary lights: Make surethese do not obscure the sensors – the auxili-ary lights could be perceived as an obstacle.
Back
The warning signal has a continuous tone when theobstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehi-cle.
The rear sensors will be activated if the vehiclebegins rolling backward or if reverse gear isengaged.

The distance monitored extendsapprox. 1.5 meters (5 ft) behind the vehicle.
The Parking Assist system's rear sensors will beautomatically deactivated if the vehicle is backingup with a trailer connected to the vehicle's elec-trical system.
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
The warning signal will begin pulsating rapidly when theobstacle is less than approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from thevehicle.
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 is approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft)out from the sides.
The detection area of the side sensors increasessignificantly, however, when the steering angle ofthe front wheel increases and depending on theposition of the steering wheel, obstacles up toapprox. 90 cm (3 ft) diagonally behind or in frontof the vehicle can be detected.

Start the Park Assist Camerausing this button in the centerdisplay's Function view.
The screen will first show themost recently used cameraview. However, each time theengine is started, the previous side view will bereplaced by the 360° view and a previously dis-played zoomed-in rear view will be replaced bythe regular rear view.
Automatically deactivating the camera
Front view switches off when the vehicle's speedreaches 25 km/h (16 mph) to help avoid dis-tracting the driver. It will be automatically reactiva-ted if the vehicle's speed falls below 22 km/h(14 mph) within 1 minute as long as the vehicle'sspeed has not exceeded 50 km/h (31 mph).
Other camera views switch off at 15 km/h(9 mph) and are not reactivated.

Parking with Park Assist Pilot*
Park Assist Pilot (PAP93) helps the driver parkusing three different steps. The function can alsohelp the driver pull out of a parking space.
The function measures the space and steers thevehicle. The driver's role is to:
keep close watch of the area around thevehicle
follow the instructions on the center display
change gears (reverse/forward) – a chimingsound indicates when the driver needs tochange gears
regulating and maintaining a safe speed
applying the brakes and stopping the vehicle.
Information about the actions required by thedriver are provided in the center display usingsymbols, graphics and/or text.
The function can be activated if the following cri-teria 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).
NOTE
The distance between the vehicle and parkingspots should be 0.5–1.5 meters (1.6–5.0 ft)when the function is looking for parking.
Parking
The function helps park the vehicle using the fol-lowing steps:
1. The system searches for and measurespotential parking spaces.
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing intothe parking space.
3. The vehicle is positioned in the parkingspace (the driver may be prompted to shiftgears and apply the brakes).
Searching for and measuring potential
parking spots
The function can be activatedin the center display's Functionview.
It can also be accessed fromthe camera views.

HYBRID INFORMATION

General information about TwinEngine
Twin Engine vehicles are driven just like anyother vehicle, but certain functions differ from avehicle powered exclusively by gasoline. Theelectric motor powers the vehicle primarily at lowspeeds; the gasoline engine is used at higherspeeds or during more active driving.
The instrument panel displays Twin Engine-spe-cific information - charging information, selecteddrive mode, distance to discharged battery andhybrid battery charge level.
Different drive modes can be selected while driv-ing, e.g. electric power only or, if more power isneeded, a combination of electric and gasolinepower. The vehicle calculates the optimal combi-nation of driveability, driving experience, environ-mental impact and fuel economy for the selecteddrive mode.
In order to function optimally, the hybrid battery(and its electrical drive systems) and the gasolineengine (and its drive systems) must be at thecorrect operating temperature. Battery capacitycan be considerably reduced if the battery is toocold or too hot. Preconditioning prepares thevehicle's drive systems and passenger compart-ment before driving to help reduce both wear andenergy consumption. It also helps increase thehybrid battery's range.
The hybrid battery which powers the electricmotor is recharged using the charging cable. It
can also be recharged during light braking andthrough engine braking in gear position B. Thecombustion engine can also help recharge thehybrid battery.
Important
No electrical current
Keep in mind that if there is no electrical currentto the vehicle, i.e. the ignition is switched off orthe start battery is discharged, certain functionssuch as brakes, power steering, etc. will not work.
WARNING
If the vehicle does not have electrical currentand both the electric motor and the gasolineengine are switched off, the brakes cannot beused to stop the vehicle.
Towing not permitted
Never tow a Twin Engine vehicle behind anothervehicle, as this could damage the electric motor.
Exterior engine noise
WARNING
Please be aware that there is no sound fromthe engine when the vehicle is being poweredby the electric motor and it may be difficult todetect by children, pedestrians, cyclists andanimals. This is especially true at low speeds.
High-voltage electrical current
WARNING
A number of electrical components in TwinEngine Plug-in Hybrid vehicles use high-volt-age current and can be extremely dangerousif handled incorrectly. These components andany orange wiring in the vehicle may only behandled by trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnicians.
Do not touch anything that is not clearly descri-bed in this Owner's Manual.

Charging the hybrid battery
In addition to the conventional fuel tank, yourvehicle is also equipped with a rechargeablelithium-ion hybrid battery.
WARNING
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-senger vehicle can expose you to chemicalsincluding engine exhaust, carbon monoxide,phthalates, and lead, which are known to theState of California to cause cancer and birthdefects or other reproductive harm. To mini-mize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, donot idle the engine except as necessary, serv-ice your vehicle in a well ventilated area andwear gloves or wash your hands frequentlywhen servicing your vehicle. For more infor-mation go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
The hybrid battery can be recharged using thecharging cable stored in a storage space in thetrunk.
WARNING
The hybrid electrical system in your vehicleuses high voltage electrical current. Any dam-age to this system or to the hybrid batterymay result in the danger of overheating, fire,or serious injury. If the vehicle is involved in acollision or subjected to flooding, fire, etc.,have it inspected by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician. Prior to this inspec-tion, the vehicle should be parked outdoors ata safe distance from any building or poten-tially flammable materials.
The hybrid battery's charging time depends onthe charging current used.
NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery diminishessomewhat with age and use, which couldresult in increased use of the gasoline engineand consequently, slightly higher fuel con-sumption.
WARNING
If the hybrid battery needs to be replaced, thismay only be done by a Volvo retailer orauthorized Volvo workshop.

Charging cable handle and charging socket.
Charging status is indicated in three ways:
The indicator lights in the charging module(the unit connected to the wall outlet).
Indicator light in the vehicle's chargingsocket.
Images and text in the instrument panel.
The start battery is charged while the hybrid bat-tery is charging and stops charging when thehybrid battery is fully charged.
If the hybrid battery's temperature is below-10 ºC (14 ºF) or above 40 ºC (104 ºF), some ofthe vehicle's functions may be reduced or notavailable at all.
The electric motor cannot be used if the battery'stemperature is too low or too high. If the PUREdrive mode is selected, the gasoline engine willstart.
Charging using the gasoline engine
The vehicle generates electrical current to charge thebattery, e.g. when the driver lightly presses the brakepedal or when engine braking is used on downgrades.
The vehicle can also generate current to thehybrid battery to charge it.
The hybrid battery can also be recharged bylightly depressing the brake pedal, i.e. duringlight braking. This converts the vehicle'skinetic energy to electrical energy, which isused to charge the hybrid battery.
In gear position B, the electric motor brakesthe vehicle when the accelerator pedal isreleased and the hybrid battery is rechargedat the same time.
The combustion engine can also helprecharge the hybrid battery.
