functionality may be reduced in cer-
tain situations.
Keep the marked area clean (on both the left and right sides of the vehicle) 91
.
Examples of limitations:
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may reduce functionality and prevent thesystem from providing warnings.
The BLIS function is automatically deacti-vated if a trailer, bicycle holder or similar isconnected to the vehicle's electrical sys-tem.
For BLIS to function effectively, bicycleholders, luggage racks or similar shouldnot 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.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar sen- sors, which have certain general limita-tions.

Blind Spot Information

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
354
The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.
In a diagonal parking space, Cross Traffic Alert may be completely "blind" on one side of your vehicle.
Blind zone.
The function's field of vision.
However, as you back your vehicle slowly out of a parking space, CTA's field of vision changes in relation to the obstructing vehicle/object and its blind zone is reduced.
Examples of further limitations

The
auto brake subfunction only detects
vehicles in motion and may therefore not
"see" and brake for e.g. stationary obsta- cles, a cyclists or a pedestrian.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensorsmay reduce functionality and prevent thesystem from providing warnings.
CTA is automatically deactivated if atrailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
For CTA to function effectively, bicycleholders, luggage racks or similar shouldnot be mounted on the vehicle's towbar.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar sen- sors, which have certain general limita-tions.

Warning for crossing traffic when the vehicle is backing up.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
358 The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle begins rolling backward or if reverse gear isengaged. The distance monitored extends approx. 1.5 meters (5 ft) behind the vehicle. The Park Assist system's rear sensors will be automatically deactivated if the vehicle isbacking up with a trailer connected to thevehicle's electrical system.
NOTE
When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike carrier on the trailer hitch – without Volvooriginal trailer cables – the Parking Assistsystem may have to be turned off manuallyto prevent the sensors from reacting tothese.
Side sensors
The warning signal will begin pulsating rapidly when the obstacle is less than approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) fromthe vehicle.
Park Assist's side sensors are automatically activated when the engine is started. They areactive at 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 increa- ses significantly, however, when the steeringangle of the front wheel increases anddepending on the position of the steeringwheel, obstacles up to approx. 90 cm (3 ft)diagonally behind or in front of the vehicle canbe detected.

Park Assist limitations Park Assist (PAS104
) may not be able to
detect all conditions in all situations and func- tionality may therefore be limited in certaincases.
The driver should be aware of the following limitations for Park Assist:
WARNING
The parking sensors have dead/blind spots where objects cannot bedetected.
Pay particular attention to people andanimals near the vehicle.
Bear in mind that the front end of thevehicle may swing out towards oncom-ing traffic during the parking maneuver.
WARNING
Be extra cautious when reversing if this symbol isshown when a trailer, bikecarrier or similar isattached and electricallyconnected to the vehicle. The symbol indicates that
the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-
vated and will not warn of any obstacles.
CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy poles or low obstacles may end up in the"signal shadow" and then go temporarilyundetected by the sensors – the pulsatingtone may then unexpectedly stop insteadof becoming a constant tone as expected. The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as protruding ramps. In such situations, pay extra attention and maneuver/drive the vehicle veryslowly or stop the current parkingmaneuver – there may be a high risk ofdamage to the vehicle or other objectssince information from the sensors isnot always reliable in such situations.
CAUTION
In some circumstances, the Park Assist System may produce false warnings due toexternal sound sources with the sameultrasonic frequencies as those the systemworks with. Examples of such sources are horns, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaustnoise from motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with the vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitchprotrusion is included when the functionmeasures the distance to objects behindthe vehicle.

Park Assist Camera trajectory lines
*
The Park Assist Cameras (PAC 111
) use trajec-
tory lines and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle's position in relation to its imme-diate surroundings.
Example of trajectory lines
The trajectory lines show the anticipated tra- jectory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions based on the current position of the steeringwheel and can 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 thevehicle and are directly affected by the way inwhich the steering wheel is turned. Thismakes it possible for the driver to see path thevehicle will take, even if he/she turns thesteering wheel. These lines also indicate the outermost limits that any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, cor-ners of the body, etc.) extends out from thevehicle.
NOTE

When reversing with a trailer that is not electrically connected to the vehi-cle, the screen guide lines show thepath the
vehicle will take – not the
trailer.
The screen does not show guide lineswhen a trailer is electrically connectedto the vehicle's electrical system.
Guide lines are not shown when zoom-ing in.

CAUTION
Bear in mind that when the rearward camera view is selected, the screenonly shows the area behind the vehicle– pay attention to the sides and frontof the vehicle when steering whilereversing.
The same applies to the reverse – payattention to what is happening withthe rear parts of the vehicle when thefront camera view is selected.
Note that the guide lines show theshortest
path – pay extra attention to
ensure that the vehicle sides do notcome in contact with/travel over any-thing when steering while driving for-ward or that the vehicle front movestoward/over anything when steeringwhile reversing.
Trajectory lines in 360° view *
360° view with trajectory lines
In the 360° view, trajectory lines are shown behind, in front of, or to the sides of the vehi-cle, 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 thevehicle's direction of travel. With a side camera selected, the trajectory lines will only be shown if the vehicle is back-ing up.
