Limitations of Run-Off Mitigationwith steering assistance
In certain demanding driving conditions, thefunction may not be able to properly assist thedriver. In these situations, it is recommendedthat it is turned off.
Examples of such situations include:
road work
winter driving conditions
narrow roads
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 combinedcamera and radar unit, which has certain gen-eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-tions" and "Radar sensor 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.

Park Assist*
The Park Assist function can help the driverwhen maneuvering in tight spaces by indicatingdistances to obstacles using audible signals andgraphics 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 obstacleis located. The closer the vehicle symbol is to amarked sector forward/rearward, the closer thedetected obstacle is to your vehicle.
The side sectors change color as the distancebetween the vehicle and an object decreases.
The audible signals will also speed up the closerthe obstacle is to the vehicle. The volume of theaudio system will be automatically lowered.
Audible signals for obstacles in front and to thesides of the vehicle are active when the vehicle ismoving but will cease after the vehicle has beenstationary for approx. 2 seconds. Audible signalsfor obstacles behind the vehicle will remain activeeven when the vehicle is stationary.
If a detected obstacle is within approx. 30 cm(1 ft) from the front or rear of the vehicle, thetone will become constant and the active sen-sor's field closest to the vehicle symbol will befilled in.
At distances within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from anobstacle to the sides of the vehicle, an rapid puls-ing signal will be given and the active sectorfields will change color from ORANGE to RED.
The volume of the Park Assist audible signalscan be adjusted while the signal is being givenusing the >II knob or in the center display's Topview under Settings.
NOTE
Besides in the sector closest to the vehi-cle symbol, audible warnings are only pro-vided for objects located directly in thevehicle's path.
WARNING
The Parking Assist function is supple-mentary driver support intended to facili-tate driving and help make it safer – itcannot handle all situations in all traffic,weather and road conditions.
The parking sensors have dead/blindspots where objects cannot be detected.
Pay particular attention to people andanimals near the vehicle.
Parking Assist is not a substitute for thedriver's attention and judgment. The driveris always responsible for ensuring thevehicle 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.

Park Assist front, rear and sides
Park Assist has different parameters dependingon which part of the vehicle is approaching anobstacle.
Front camera
Continuous tone warning signal when the obstacle isless than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehicle 111.
Park Assist's front sensors are automatically acti-vated when the engine is started. They are activeat 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 applied or when Pis selected on vehicles with automatic trans-mission.
CAUTION
When installing auxiliary lights: Make surethese do not obscure the sensors – the auxili-ary lights could be perceived as an obstacle.
Back
Continuous tone warning signal when the obstacle isless than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehicle 111
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
Rapid pulsing warning signal when the obstacle is lessthan approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from the vehicle 111.
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 increases significantly whenthe steering angle of the front wheels increasesand depending on the steering wheel position,obstacles up to approx. 90 cm (3 ft) directlybehind or in front of the vehicle can be detected(also see “Side sensor fields” in the section “Sen-sor field from Park Assist for Park Assist Cam-era”).

Park Assist limitations
Park Assist may not be able to detect all condi-tions in all situations and functionality may there-fore be limited in certain cases.
The driver should be aware of the following limi-tations for Park Assist:
WARNING
Be extra cautious whenreversing if this symbol isshown when a trailer, bikecarrier or similar is attachedand electrically connectedto the vehicle.
The symbol indicates thatthe rear parking assist sensors are deacti-vated and will not warn of any obstacles.
CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy polesor 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, suchas 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 tireson asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noisefrom motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with thevehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch pro-trusion is included when the function meas-ures the distance to objects behind the vehi-cle.
