Pilot Assist limitations
Pilot Assist functionality may be reduced in cer-tain situations.
Pilot Assist is a driver support function designedto 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 orcross 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 Assisthas the following limitations:
High curbs, roadside barriers, temporaryobstacles (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.
The driver is responsible for ensuring thatthe vehicle maintains a suitable distancefrom such obstacles.
The camera and radar sensors do nothave the capacity to detect all oncomingobjects and obstacles in traffic environ-ments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstaclesor objects that completely or partiallyblock the route.
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
The recommended steering input is lim-ited in force, which means that it cannotalways help the driver to steer and keepthe vehicle within the lane.
In vehicles equipped with SensusNavigation*, the function is able to useinformation from map data, which couldcause variations in performance.
Pilot Assist is switched off if the powersteering is working with reduced power -e.g. during cooling due to overheating(see section "Speed-dependent steeringforce").
The driver can always correct or adjust steeringassistance provided by Pilot Assist by turning thesteering wheel to the desired position.

Lane Keeping Aid limitations
In certain demanding driving conditions, LaneKeeping Aid may not be able to properly assistthe driver. In these situations, it is recommendedthat the function be deactivated.
Examples of such situations include:
road work
winter driving conditions
poor road surfaces
a very sporty driving style
bad weather with reduced visibility
roads with indistinct or no lane markings
sharp edges or lines other than the lane'sside markings
when the power steering works at reducedpower, e.g. during cooling due to overheating(see section “Speed-dependent steeringforce”).
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera unit,which has some general limitations – see thesection "Camera unit limitations".

Steering assistance during collisionrisks from oncoming traffic
This sub-function can help assist a distracteddriver who has not noticed that the vehicle isveering into oncoming traffic.
The function provides assistance by swerving your vehi-cle back into your own lane.
Oncoming vehicles
Own vehicle
The function is active at speeds between60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearlyvisible traffic lane markings/lines.
If your vehicle is starting to veer from your ownlane and a vehicle is approaching from the oppo-site direction, this function can help the driversteer the vehicle back into its own lane.

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.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.426
Starting the vehicle
The vehicle can be started using the start knobin the tunnel console when the remote key is inthe passenger compartment.
Start knob in the tunnel console.
WARNING
Before starting:
Buckle your seat belt.
Adjust the seat, steering wheel and mir-rors.
Make sure you can fully depress thebrake pedal.
The remote key is not physically used to start theignition because the vehicle is equipped with thekeyless Passive Start system.
To start the vehicle:
1.The remote key must be inside the vehicle.For vehicles with Passive Start, the key mustbe in the front section of the passengercompartment. With the optional keyless lock-ing/unlocking function*, the key can be any-where in the vehicle.
2. Press and hold down the brake pedal1 as faras possible.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release.The control will automatically return to theoriginal position.
WARNING
Never use more than one inlay mat at atime on the driver's floor. If any other typeof floor mat is used, remove the originalmat from the driver's seat floor beforedriving. All types of mats must be securelyanchored in the attachment points in thefloor. Make sure the floor mat does notimpede the movement of the brake pedalor accelerator pedal in any way, as thiscould be a serious safety hazard.
Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-tured for your vehicle. They must be prop-erly secured in the attachment points inthe floor to help ensure they cannot slideand become trapped under the pedals.
The starter motor will crank until the enginestarts or until overheating protection is triggered.
During normal start conditions, the vehicle's elec-tric motor will be prioritized and the gasolineengine will remain off. This means that once thestart knob is turned clockwise, the electric motorhas been "started" and the vehicle is ready to bedriven. The warning and information symbols inthe instrument panel will go out and the selectedtheme will be displayed to indicate that the elec-tric motor is activated.
1If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to turn the start knob clockwise to start the engine.
