15 km/h (9 mph) faster than your vehicle, BLIS
will not react.

NOTE

The light illuminates on the side of the
vehicle where the system has detected the
vehicle. If the vehicle is passed on both
sides simultaneously, both lights come on.

WARNING

support intended to facilitate driving
and help make it safer – it cannot han-
dle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions.

Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgment. The driver is always respon-
sible 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.

Driver Alert Control

The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function is
designed to help alert the driver to erratic
behavior, e.g. if the driver is distracted or
showing signs of fatigue.

The objective of the function is to detect
slowly deteriorating driving behavior and is
primarily intended to be used on major roads.
The function is not intended for use in city traf-
fic.

DAC is activated when the vehicle's speed
exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph) and remains
active as long as speeds are above 60 km/h
(37 mph).

Driver Alert Control detects the vehicle's position in

the traffic lane.

A camera monitors the traffic lane's marker
lines and compares the direction of the road

with the driver's movements of the steering
wheel.

The vehicle is moving erratically in the lane.

If driving behavior becomes
considerably erratic, the
driver will be alerted by this
symbol in the instrument
panel, an audible signal and
the message

Time for a

break

.

If the vehicle is equipped with Sensus
Navigation

*

and the

Rest Stop Guidance

function is activated, suggestions will also be
provided for suitable places to take a break.

The warning will be repeated after a short time
if driving behavior does not improve.

WARNING

Driver Alert Control must not be used to

extend a period of driving. The driver

should plan in breaks at regular intervals

and make sure they are well rested.

WARNING

An alarm from Driver Alert Control should

be taken very seriously since a sleepy driver

is often not aware of their own condition.
If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:

Stop the vehicle safely as soon as pos-
sible and rest.

Studies have shown that it is just as dan-

gerous to drive while tired as it is to drive

under the influence of alcohol or other

stimulants.

Driver Alert Control limitations

Driver Alert Control (DAC) functionality may
be reduced in certain situations.

In certain situations, the system may provide a
warning even if it has not detected a change in
driving behavior, e.g.:

in strong crosswinds

on grooved road surfaces.

WARNING

In certain cases, driving behavior might not

be affected despite the driver's fatigue –

when using the Pilot Assist

*

function –

resulting in the driver not getting a warning

from DAC.
It is therefore very important to always

stop and take a break at the slightest sign

of fatigue, regardless of whether the func-

tion has issued a warning or not.

NOTE

The function uses the vehicle's camera and
radar sensor, which has certain general
limitations.

Cross Traffic Alert

*

96

Cross Traffic Alert(CTA) is a supplementary
driver support system to BLIS

97

that is

intended to help the driver detect vehicles
crossing behind the vehicle while backing up.

The

auto-brake

subfunction can help the

driver stop the car if there is a risk of collision
with an unobserved vehicle.

Examples of areas in which Cross Traffic Alert can

help the driver detect obstacles while backing up.

The function is primarily designed to detect
vehicles, but in certain cases can also detect
pedestrians or smaller objects such as bicy-
cles.

The function is only active when the vehicle is
moving backward or reverse gear is engaged.

If the function detects that something is
approaching your vehicle from the side:

an audible signal will sound from either
the left or right speaker, depending on
which side of your vehicle the object is
approaching from.

an icon will illuminate in the

Park Assist

limitations

The Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) function with

auto brake

may have limited functionality in

certain situations. Auto-brake is active at
speeds under 15 km/h (9.3 mph).

WARNING

The

auto-brake

sub-function can only

detect and apply the brakes for other mov-

ing vehicles –

not

for e.g. stationary obsta-

cles, cyclists or pedestrians.

The function has certain limitations – the sen-
sors, for example, cannot "see" through other
parked vehicles or objects blocking the vehi-
cle.

Below are a few examples of situations in
which the function's field of vision may be ini-
tially limited and approaching vehicles may
therefore not be detected until they are very
close to your vehicle:

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 sensors
may reduce functionality and prevent the
system from providing warnings.

CTA is automatically deactivated if a
trailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system.

For CTA to function effectively, bicycle
holders, luggage racks or similar should
not be mounted on the vehicle's towbar.

NOTE

The function uses the vehicle's radar sen-
sors, which have certain general limita-
tions.

Park Assist

*

The Park Assist function (PAS

101

) uses sen-

sors to help the driver when maneuvering in
tight spaces by indicating distances to obsta-
cles using audible signals and graphics in the
center display.

Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor

sectors.

The center display shows an overview of the
vehicle in relation to objects that have been
detected.

The marked sector indicates where the obsta-
cle is located. The closer the vehicle symbol is
to a marked sector forward/rearward, the
closer the detected obstacle is to your vehicle.

The side sectors change color as the distance
between the vehicle and an object decreases.

The audible signals will also speed up the
closer the obstacle is to the vehicle. The vol-
ume of the audio system will be automatically
lowered.

Audible signals for obstacles in front and to
the sides of the vehicle are active when the
vehicle is moving but will cease after the vehi-
cle has been stationary for approx. 2 seconds.
Audible signals for obstacles behind the vehi-
cle will remain active even when the vehicle is
stationary.

If a detected obstacle is within approx. 30 cm
(1 ft) from the front or rear of the vehicle, the
tone will become constant and the active sen-
sor field closest to the vehicle symbol will be
filled in.

At distances within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft)
from an obstacle to the sides of the vehicle, an
rapid pulsing signal will be given and the
active sector fields will change color from
ORANGE to RED.

The volume of the Park Assist audible signals
can be adjusted while the signal is being given
using the

>II

knob or in the center display's

Top view under

Settings

.

NOTE

Besides in the sector closest to the vehicle
symbol, audible warnings are only provided
for objects located directly in the vehicle's
path.

) behaves differently

depending on which part of the vehicle is
approaching an obstacle.

Front camera

The warning signal has a continuous tone when the

obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the

vehicle.

The Park Assist system's front sensors are
automatically activated when the engine is
started. They are active at speeds
below 10 km/h (6 mph).

The distance monitored extends
approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.

NOTE

The Park Assist system is deactivated
when the parking brake is used or when

P

is selected on vehicles with automatic
transmission.

CAUTION

When installing auxiliary lights: Make sure
these do not obscure the sensors – the
auxiliary lights could be perceived as an
obstacle.

Back

The warning signal has a continuous tone when the

obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the

vehicle.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

370

The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle
begins rolling backward or if reverse gear is
engaged.

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 is
backing up with a trailer connected to the
vehicle's electrical system.

NOTE

When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike
carrier on the trailer hitch – without Volvo
original trailer cables – the Parking Assist
system may have to be turned off manually
to prevent the sensors from reacting to
these.

Side sensors

The warning signal will begin pulsating rapidly when

the obstacle is less than approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from

the vehicle.

Park Assist's side sensors are automatically
activated when the engine is started. They are
active 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 steering
angle of the front wheel increases and
depending on the position of the steering
wheel, obstacles up to approx. 90 cm (3 ft)
diagonally behind or in front of the vehicle can
be detected.

Park Assist limitations

Park Assist (PAS

104

) may not be able to

detect all conditions in all situations and func-
tionality may therefore be limited in certain
cases.

The driver should be aware of the following
limitations for Park Assist:

WARNING

The parking sensors have dead/blind
spots where objects cannot be
detected.

Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.

Bear in mind that the front end of the
vehicle may swing out towards oncom-
ing traffic during the parking maneuver.

WARNING

Be extra cautious when

reversing if this symbol is

shown when a trailer, bike

carrier or similar is

attached and electrically

connected 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 temporarily
undetected by the sensors – the pulsating
tone may then unexpectedly stop instead
of 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 very
slowly or stop the current parking
maneuver – there may be a high risk of
damage to the vehicle or other objects
since information from the sensors is
not always reliable in such situations.

CAUTION

In some circumstances, the Park Assist
System may produce false warnings due to
external sound sources with the same
ultrasonic frequencies as those the system
works with.

Examples of such sources are horns, wet
tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust
noise from motorcycles, etc.

NOTE

When a trailer hitch is configured with the
vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch
protrusion is included when the function
measures the distance to objects behind
the vehicle.
