LKA intervenes on the right-hand side. Lane Keeping Aid intervenes and steers away from the side line - this is indicated with: • RED line for the side in question. Related information • Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)* (p. 246) • Lane Departure Warning (LDW)* (p. 242)
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - limitations Lane Keeping Aid (Lane Keeping Aid) camera sensor has limitations in a similar way to the human eye.
For more information, read about camera sensor limitations (p. 235) and see Collision warning system* - operation (p. 233).
NOTE
In certain demanding situations Lane assistance may have difficulty assisting the driver in the right way - in which case it is recommended to deactivate the function. Examples of such situations may be: • roadworks • winter road conditions • poor road surface • very sporty driving style • poor weather with reduced visibility.
Hands on the steering wheel In order for Lane Keeping Aid to operate, the driver must have his/her hands on the steer- ing wheel. LKA continually monitors this. If hands are not detected on the steering wheel then a text message is shown, prompting the driver to actively steer the car. If the driver does not follow the request to begin steering then Lane Keeping Aid goes into standby mode and will remain in this

Park Assist* Parking assistance is used as an aid to park- ing. An acoustic signal as well as symbols on the centre console's screen indicate the dis- tance to the detected obstacle.
Parking assistance sound level can be adjusted during the ongoing acoustic signal using the centre console's VOL knob. The sound level can also be adjusted in the audio settings menu, which is accessed by pressing SOUND or in the car's menu system (p. 114) MY CAR28. Parking assistance is available in two vari- ants: • Rear only • Both front and rear.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's electrical system, the protrusion of the towbar is included when the function measures the parking space.
WARNING
• Parking assistance does not relinquish the driver's own responsibility during parking.
• The sensors have blind spots where
obstacles cannot be detected.
• Be aware of e.g. people or animals
near the car.

Display screen view - showing an obstacle left front and right rear. The centre console's display screen shows an overview of the relationship between the car and detected obstacle. Marked sectors show which of the four sen- sor(s) detected an obstacle. The closer to the car symbol a selected sector box is, the shorter the distance between the car and a detected obstacle. The frequency of the signal increases the shorter the distance to an obstacle, in front of or behind the car. Other sound from the audio system is muted automatically. When the distance is within 30 cm the tone is constant and the active sensor's field nearest the car is filled in. If the detected obstacle is within the distance for the constant tone both behind and in front of the car, then the tone sounds alternately from the loudspeakers.
07
IMPORTANT
Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or low barriers may be in the "signal shadow" and are then temporarily not detected by the sensors - the pulsating tone may then unexpectedly stop instead of changing over to the expected constant tone. The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as projecting loading docks. • In such situations, pay extra attention and manoeuvre/reposition the car par- ticularly slowly or stop the current parking manoeuvre - there may be a high risk of damage to vehicles or other objects since the sensors are temporarily unable to function opti- mally.

Park assist camera* Parking camera is an auxiliary system, which is activated when the reverse gear is selected.
The camera image is shown on the centre console's screen.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's electrical system, the protrusion of the towbar is included when the function measures the parking space.
WARNING
• The parking camera serves as an aid. It does not relieve the driver of respon- sibility when reversing.
• The camera has blind spots, where
obstacles cannot be detected.
• Be aware of people and animals in the
vicinity of the car.
Function and operation
Camera location next to the opening handle. The camera shows what is behind the car and if something appears from the sides. The camera shows a wide area behind the car and part of the bumper and any towbar. Objects on the screen may appear to tilt slightly - this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the display screen may be closer to the car than they appear to be on the screen.
If another view is active then the parking camera system takes over automatically and its camera image is displayed on the screen. When reverse gear is selected, two unbroken lines are shown graphically which illustrate
07 Driver support
where the car's rear wheels will roll with the current steering wheel angle - this facilitates parallel parking, reversing into tight spaces and for hitching a trailer. The car's approxi- mate external dimensions are illustrated by means of dashed lines. The park assist lines can be deactivated - see section Settings (p. 257). If the car is also equipped with Parking assis- tance sensors (p. 251)* then their information is shown graphically as coloured areas in order to illustrate distances to detected obstacles, see heading "Cars with reversing sensors" later in the text. The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after reverse gear has been disengaged or until the car's speed exceeds 10 km/h forward or 35 km/h backward.
Light conditions The camera image is adjusted automatically according to prevailing light conditions. Because of this, the image may vary slightly in brightness and quality. Poor light condi- tions can result in a slightly reduced image quality.
NOTE
Keep the camera lens clear of dirt, snow and ice to ensure optimum function. This is particularly important in poor light.

NOTE
A bike carrier or other accessory mounted on the rear of the car could obscure the camera's view.
To bear in mind Pay attention to the possibility that, even if it only looks like a relatively small part of the image is obscured, it could be a relatively large sector that is hidden from view. Obsta- cles could thereby go undetected until they are very close to the car. • Keep the camera lens free from dirt, ice
and snow.
• Clean the camera lens regularly with luke- warm water and car shampoo - take care not to scratch the lens.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - function
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and turns the steering wheel - the driver's task is to follow the combined instrument pan- el's instructions and select the gear (reverse/forward), control the speed, brake and stop.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria are met once the engine has been started: • The functions ABS29 or ESC30 must not intervene when the PAP function is acti- vated - these can be activated in the event of e.g. steep and slippery surfaces, see the sections on Foot brake and Sta- bility system ESC (p. 191) for more infor- mation.
• A trailer must not be connected to the
car.
• Speed must be below 50 km/h.
07 Driver support
Principle for PAP. PAP The function parks the car using the fol- lowing steps: 1. The function searches for a parking space
and measures it - during measurement, speed must not exceed 30 km/h.
2. The car is steered into the space during
reversing.
3. The car is positioned in the space by driv-
ing forward and back.

NOTE
Remember that certain steering wheel positions may obstruct the combined instrument panel's instructions when you turn it during the parking manoeuvre.
1 - Searching and checking measurements
2. Keep an eye on the combined instrument
panel and be prepared to stop the car when the graphics and text so request. 3. Stop the car when the graphics and text
so request.
NOTE
PAP searches the area for a parking space, displays instructions and guides the car in on its passenger side. But if required the car can also be parked on the driver's side of the street: • Activate the direction indicator for the driver's side - the car is then parked on that side of the street instead.
2 - Reversing in
1. Check that the area behind the car is
clear, then engage reverse gear.
2. Reverse slowly and carefully without touching the steering wheel - and no faster than approx. 7 km/h.
3. Keep an eye on the combined instrument
panel and be prepared to stop the car when the graphics and text so request.
NOTE
• Keep your hands away from the steer-
ing wheel when the PAP function is activated.
• Make sure that the steering wheel is
not hindered in any way and can rotate freely.
• To achieve optimum results - wait until
the steering wheel is fully turned before starting to drive backward/ forward.
07
The PAP function searches for a parking space and checks whether it is big enough. Proceed as follows:
1. Activate PAP by pressing this button and do not drive faster than 30 km/h.
During the Reversing step, PAP will steer the car into the parking space. Proceed as fol- lows:
260
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
3 - Straightening up
When the car has reversed into the parking space, it must be straightened up and stop- ped. 1. Engage first gear or D position, wait until the steering wheel has been turned, then drive slowly forwards.
2. Stop the car when the graphics and text
message so request.
3. Engage reverse gear and drive back-
wards slowly until the graphics and text message tell you to stop.
The function is disengaged automatically when parking is complete, and the graphics and text message show that parking is com- plete. It may be necessary for the driver to correct the positioning. Only the driver can determine whether the car is properly parked.

• if the driver touches the steering wheel • if the ABS31 or ESC32 function is engaged
- e.g. if a wheel loses grip on a slippery road surface.
A text message indicates where the PAP sequence was stopped.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors will reduce their function and may prevent measurement.
IMPORTANT
Under certain circumstances, PAP is unable to find parking spaces - one reason for this may be the fact that there is inter- ference with the sensors from external sound sources which emit the same ultra- sound frequencies as those with which the system works. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.
To bear in mind The driver should bear in mind that the Park Assist Pilot is an aid – not an infallible, fully-
automatic function. The driver must therefore be prepared to intervene. There are also a few details to bear in mind while parking, e.g.: • PAP starts out from the current location of the parked vehicles - if they are inap- propriately parked then the car's tyres and wheel rims may be damaged against kerbs.
• PAP is designed for parking on straight streets, not sharp curves or bends. For this reason, make sure the car is parallel to the parking space when PAP measures the space.
• It is not always possible to find parking spaces on narrow streets since there is not enough space for manoeuvring. In such parking situations, it helps the sys- tem to drive as close to the side of the road as possible where you intend to park.
• Bear in mind that the front of the car may swing out towards oncoming traffic while being parked.
• Objects situated higher than the detection
areas of the sensors are not included when calculations are made for the park- ing manoeuvre. This may cause PAP to swing into the parking space too early, and hence such parking spaces should be avoided.
31 (Anti-lock Braking System) - Anti-lock braking system. 32 (Electronic Stability Control) - Electronic stability control. 33 "Approved tyres" refers to tyres of the same type and make as those fitted new on delivery from the factory.
07
262
• The driver is responsible for determining
whether the space selected by PAP is suitable for parking.
• Use approved tyres33 with the correct tyre
pressure - this affects PAP's ability to park the car.
• Heavy rain or snow may cause the sys- tem to measure the parking space incor- rectly.
• Do not use PAP if snow chains or a spare
wheel are fitted.
• Do not use PAP if loaded objects are pro-
truding from the car.
IMPORTANT
The PAP system's parameters may need to be updated when changing to another approved wheel rim size involving changed tyre circumference. Consult a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended.
Maintenance
The PAP sensors are located in the bumpers34 - 6 front and 4 rear. For the PAP function to work correctly, its sensors must be cleaned regularly with water and car shampoo - these are the same sen- sors as are used by parking assistance, see Park assist syst* - cleaning the sensors (p. 254).

BLIS* BLIS (Blind Spot Information) is a function designed for providing support for the driver when driving in dense traffic on roads with several lanes in the same direction.
BLIS is a driver's aid intended to provide a warning about: • vehicles in the car's blind spot • rapidly approaching vehicles in the left and right-hand lanes closest to the car.
The BLIS function CTA (p. 266) (Cross Traffic Alert) is a driver's aid intended to provide a warning about: • crossing traffic when the car is reversed.
WARNING
BLIS is a supplementary aid and does not work in all situations. BLIS is no substitute for a safe driving style and the use of rearview and door mir- rors. BLIS can never replace the driver's responsibility and attention - it is always the driver's responsibility to change lanes in a safe manner.

BLIS* - operation BLIS (Blind Spot Information) is a function designed for providing support for the driver when driving in dense traffic on roads with several lanes in the same direction.
Activate/deactivate BLIS BLIS is activated when the engine is started. This is confirmed by the indicator lamps in the door panels flashing once.
Button for activating/deactivating. The BLIS function can be deactivated/acti- vated by pressing the BLIS button on the centre console. Some combinations of the selected equip- ment leave no vacant space for a button in the centre console - in which case the func- tion is handled by the car's menu system MY CAR (p. 114).
When BLIS is deactivated/activated the lamp in the button extinguishes/illuminates and the combined instrument panel confirms the change with a text message. The door panel indicator lamps flash once upon activation. To extinguish the message: • Press the left stalk switch OK button. or • Wait approx. 5 seconds - the message
extinguishes.
When BLIS operates
Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone for rapidly approaching vehicle. The BLIS function is active at speeds above approx. 10 km/h. The system is designed to react when:
• the driver's vehicle is overtaken by other
vehicles
• the driver's vehicle is rapidly caught up
by another vehicle.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, the door panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a con- stant glow. If the driver activates the direction indicator on the same side as the warning in this situation then the BLIS lamp will change from a constant glow to flashing with a more intense light.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends. BLIS does not work when the car is being reversed.
Limitations • Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can reduce functionality and make it impossi- ble to provide warnings. BLIS cannot detect hazards if it is covered.
• Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in
the area of the sensors.
• BLIS is deactivated when a trailer is con-
nected to the car's electrical system.

On/Off for parking assistance and CTA sensors. The CTA function can be deactivated/acti- vated separately with the Parking assistance (p. 251) On/Off button. The BLIS lamps flash once on reactivation. However, the BLIS function remains activated after the CTA has been deactivated.
Principle for CTA. CTA supplements the BLIS function by being able to see crossing traffic from the side dur- ing reversing, such as when reversing out of a parking space. CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles. In favourable conditions, it may also be able to detect smaller objects, such as cyclists and pedestrians.
266
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
CTA is only active during reversing and is activated automatically when the gearbox's reverse position is selected. • If CTA detects something approaching
from the side, an acoustic warning signal sounds. The signal comes from either the left or the right-hand speaker, depending on the direction from which the object is approaching.
• CTA also warns by illuminating the BLIS
lamps.
• An additional warning is provided in the form of an illuminated icon in the display screen's PAS graphics (p. 251).
Limitations CTA does not perform optimally in all situa- tions, but has a certain limitation - for exam- ple, the CTA sensors cannot "see" through other parked vehicles or obstructing objects. Here are some examples of when CTA's "field of vision" may be limited from the beginning and approaching vehicles cannot therefore be detected until they are very close:
vehicle/object that is blocking, at which the blind sector rapidly decreases. Examples of further limitations: • Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can reduce functionality and make it impossi- ble to provide warnings. CTA cannot detect hazards if it is covered.
• CTA is deactivated when a trailer is con-
nected to the car’s electrical system.
IMPORTANT
Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions' components or repainting the bumpers must only be performed by a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended.
Maintenance The sensors for the BLIS and CTA functions are located inside the rear wing/bumper on each corner of the car.
07 Driver support
Keep this surface clean - also on the left-hand side. • To ensure optimal functionality the areas
in front of the sensors must be kept clean.
• Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in
the area of the sensors.

STARTING AND DRIVING
08 Starting and driving
Alcohol lock* The function of the alcohol lock is to prevent the car from being driven by individuals under the influence of alcohol. Before the engine can be started the driver must take a breath test that verifies that he/she is not under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol lock calibration takes place in accordance with each market's limit value in force for driving legally.
WARNING
The alcohol lock is an aid and does not exempt the driver from responsibility. It is always the responsibility of the driver to be sober and to drive the car safely.

Alcohol lock* - to bear in mind In order to obtain correct function and as accurate a measurement result as possible: • Avoid eating or drinking
approx. 5 minutes before the breath test. • Avoid excess windscreen washing - the alcohol in the washer fluid may result in an incorrect measurement result.
Change of driver
In order to ensure that a new breath test is carried out in the event of a change of driver - depress the switch (2) and the send button (3) simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds. At which point the car returns to start inhibition mode and a new approved breath test is required before starting the engine.
Calibration and service The alcohol lock must be checked and cali- brated at a workshop1 every 12 months. 30 days before recalibration is necessary the combined instrument panel shows the mes- sage Alcoguard Calibration required See manual. If calibration is not carried out within these 30 days then normal engine starting will be blocked - only starting with the Bypass function will then be possible, see the follow- ing heading "Emergency situation".
1 An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
The message can be cleared by pressing the
send button (3) once. Otherwise it extin-
guishes on its own after approx. 2 minutes
but then reappears each time the engine is
started - only recalibration at a workshop1
can clear the message permanently.
Cold or hot weather The colder the weather the longer it takes before the alcohol lock is ready for use:
Temperature (ºC) Maximum heat- ing time (sec-
onds)
+10 to +85
-5 to +10
-40 to -5
10
60
180
At temperatures below -20 ºC or above +60 ºC the alcohol lock requires additional power supply. The combined instrument panel shows Alcoguard Please insert power cable. In which case, connect the power supply cable from the glovebox and wait until indicator lamp (6) is green. In extremely cold weather the heating time can be reduced by taking the alcohol lock indoors.
08 Starting and driving
Emergency situation In the event of an emergency situation or the alcohol lock is out of order, it is possible to bypass the alcohol lock in order to drive the car.
NOTE
All Bypass activation is logged and saved in memory, see Recording data (p. 18).
After the Bypass function has been activated the combined instrument panel shows Alcoguard Bypass enabled the whole time while driving and can only be reset by a work- shop1. The Bypass function can be tested without the error message being logged - in which case, carry out all the steps without starting the car. The error message is cleared when the car is locked. When the alcohol lock is installed, either the Bypass or Emergency function is selected as the bypassing option. This setting can be changed afterwards at a workshop1. Activating the Bypass function • Depress and hold the left-hand stalk
switch OK button and the button for haz- ard warning flashers simultaneously for approx. 5 seconds - the combined instru- ment panel first shows Bypass activated

IMPORTANT
Do not press in the remote control key incorrectly turned - hold the end with the detachable key blade, see Detachable key blade - detaching/attaching (p. 170).
If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts - wait for 3 minutes before making a further attempt. Starting capacity increases if the battery is allowed to recover.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from the ignition switch after starting the engine or when the car is being towed.
08 Starting and driving
WARNING
Always remove the remote control key from the ignition switch when leaving the car, and make sure that the key position is 0 - in particular if there are children in the car. For information on how this works - see Key positions (p. 80).
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types during cold starting. This is done in order that the emissions system can reach normal oper- ating temperature as quickly as possible, which minimises exhaust emissions and protects the environment.
Keyless drive* Follow steps 2-3 for keyless (p. 173) starting of the engine.
NOTE
A prerequisite for the engine to start is that one of the car's remote control keys with the Keyless drive function is in the passen- ger compartment or cargo area.
If the car is moving then it is enough to press the START/STOP ENGINE button to start the engine.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from the car while driving or during towing.

3 Cars with Keyless drive only need to have a remote control key inside the passenger compartment.
Remote start (ERS)* Remote start (ERS – Engine Remote Start) means that the car's engine can be started remotely in order to warm up/cool down the passenger compartment before departure. ERS is activated via key and/or via Volvo On Call*.
The climate control starts with the same set-
tings that were being used when the car was
parked.
An ERS-started engine is activated for a
maximum of 15 minutes, then it is switched
off. After two ERS-activations the engine
must be started in the normal way before
ERS can be re-used.
ERS is only available in cars with automatic
gearbox and cars that have a bonnet switch4
installed.
NOTE
The service life of the remote control key's battery is affected by the ERS function. In the event of frequent use of ERS the bat- tery should therefore be changed once per year, see Remote control key - replacing the battery (p. 172).
NOTE
Follow local/national rules/regulations on idling. Also take into account the local/ national rules/regulations regarding the noise level when the engine is running.
WARNING
To remote-start the engine, the following criteria must be met: • The car must be supervised. • There must be no people or animals
inside or around the car.
• The car must not be parked in a
closed, unventilated area - the exhaust gases may seriously injure humans and animals.
