WARNING
The Electronic Stability Control system
ESC is supplementary driver support
intended to facilitate driving and make it
safer – it cannot handle all situations in
all traffic, weather and road conditions.
ESC is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle 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.
Stability control 3This function helps control the driving and brak-
ing force of each individual wheel in an attempt
to stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw controlThis function is active at low speeds and brakes
the wheels that are spinning to transfer additional
power from wheels that are not spinning.
This function also helps prevent the wheels from
spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC
4
) helps prevent inad-
vertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting or
using engine braking when driving at low speeds
on a slippery surface.
Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impair
the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist* 5
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
6
) is designed to help
stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if the
vehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For more
information, see "Trailer Stability Assist".
NOTE The TSA function is deactivated if
ESC Sport
Mode is activated.

situations. Keep the marked area clean (on both the left and right
sides of the vehicle)

.
Examples of limitations:
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may
reduce functionality and prevent the system
from providing warnings.
The BLIS function is automatically deacti-
vated if a trailer, bicycle holder or similar is
connected to the vehicle's electrical system.
For BLIS to function optimally, bicycle hold-
ers, luggage racks or similar should not be
mounted on the vehicle's towbar.WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp curves.
BLIS does not work when the vehicle is
being reversed.

Examples of further limitations
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may
reduce functionality and prevent the system
from providing warnings. For additional infor-
mation, see the section "Recommended
maintenance for Cross Traffic Alert".
CTA is automatically deactivated if a trailer,
bicycle holder or similar is connected to the
vehicle's electrical system.
For CTA to function optimally, bicycle hold-
ers, luggage racks or similar should not be
mounted on the vehicle's towbar.

For optimal performance, it is important to
keep the areas in front of the sensors clean.
Do not attach any objects, tape or decals to
the surface of the sensors. Keep the marked area clean (on both the left and right
sides of the vehicle)

.
The CTA sensors are located on the inside of
each of the rear fenders/bumpers and are also
used by the BLIS 89
and Rear Collision Warning
functions.
CAUTION Repair of BLIS and CTA components or
repainting of the bumper may only be per-
formed by a workshop – an authorized Volvo
workshop is recommended.

396 Park Assist Camera*
The Park Assist Camera can help provide the
driver when maneuvering in tight spaces by alert-
ing the driver to obstacles using the camera
screen and graphics in the center display.
The Park Assist Camera is a support function
that is automatically activated when reverse gear
is engaged. It can also be started manually from
the center display.

WARNING

The Parking Camera 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 cameras have dead/blind
spots where objects cannot be detected.
Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.
Objects/obstacles may be closer to the
vehicle than they appear on the screen.
The parking cameras are 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 accordance with current traffic
rules and regulations. 114

Back The rear camera
117
is located above the license plate.
The rear camera shows a wide area behind the
vehicle. On certain models, part of the bumper
and the towbar (if installed) may be visible.
Objects on the center display may appear to be
leaning slightly. This is normal.Front camera The front Park Assist Camera
118
is located in the grille.
The front camera can be useful when pulling out
from areas with limited visibility, such as a drive-
way surrounded by a hedge. The front camera is
active at speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph) and is
automatically turned off when the vehicle
exceeds this speed.
If the vehicle does not reach a speed of 50 km/h
(30 mph) and speed falls below 22 km/h
(14 mph) within 1 minute after the front camera
turns off, the camera will be reactivated.Side cameras The side cameras
118
are located in the rearview mirrors.
The side cameras can show views along each
side of the vehicle.

Park Assist Camera trajectory lines
The Park Assist Camera uses trajectory lines
and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle's
position in relation to its immediate surround-
ings. Example
119
of trajectory lines.
The trajectory lines show the anticipated trajec-
tory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions based
on the current position of the steering wheel to help simplify parallel parking, backing into tight
spaces or attaching a trailer.
The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were painted lines on the ground behind the
vehicle and are directly affected by the way in
which the steering wheel is turned. This enables
the driver to see path the vehicle will take, even if
he/she turns the steering wheel.
These lines also indicate the outermost limits that
any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, corners of
the body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle.
NOTE

When reversing with a trailer that is not
electrically connected to the vehicle, the
screen guide lines show the path the
vehicle will take – not the trailer.
The screen does not show guide lines
when a trailer is electrically connected to
the vehicle's electrical system.
Guide lines are not shown when zooming
in.
CAUTION
Bear in mind that when the rearward
camera view is selected, the screen only
shows the area behind the vehicle – pay
attention to the sides and front of the
vehicle when steering while reversing.
The same applies to the reverse – pay
attention to what is happening with the
rear parts of the vehicle when the front
camera view is selected.
Note that the guide lines show the short-
est path – pay extra attention to ensure
that the vehicle sides do not come in
contact with/travel over anything when
steering while driving forward or that the
vehicle front moves toward/over anything
when steering while reversing. 119

In the 360° view, trajectory lines are shown
behind, in front of, or to the sides of the vehicle,
depending on the direction of travel.
When driving forward: Front lines
When backing up: Side lines and rear lines.
When the front or rear camera is selected, the
trajectory lines will be shown regardless of the
vehicle's direction of travel.
With a side camera selected, the trajectory lines
will only be shown if the vehicle is backing up.Trajectory lines for a towbar* Towbar with trajectory line
