This chapter gives you information on some of Volvo's systems and services, and an overview of the inside and outside, and the centre display.
To get started with using your Volvo in the best possible way there are several functions, terms and tips that can be useful to know about.
Volvo ID
Volvo ID is a personal ID that gives you access to a range of services with a single username and password. Some examples are Volvo On Call*, map services*, a personal login at volvocars.com, and the option to book service and repair. You can create a Volvo ID via volvocars.com, the Volvo On Call app or directly in your car.
Sensus
Sensus is the car's intelligent interface and covers all solutions in the car associated with entertainment, Internet connection, navigation* and information services. It is Sensus that makes possible the communication between you, the car and the outside world.
Volvo On Call*
Volvo On Call provides direct contact to the car and additional comfort and assistance 24 hours a day. The Volvo On Call app makes it possible e.g. to see whether bulbs need to be replaced or whether washer fluid needs to be topped up. You can lock and unlock the car, check fuel level and show the closest petrol station. Preconditioning can also be adjusted and started via the car's parking climate control or the remote vehicle start1 function. Download the Volvo On Call app to get started.
Volvo On Call also includes roadside assistance, other security services and emergency assistance via the ON CALL and SOS buttons in the car's roof console.

This chapter describes several of the car's driver support systems and gives tips on how you can drive more economically.
Your car is equipped with a number of functions that help you to drive safely and which can prevent accidents. You can activate these functions in the centre display's function view. Remember that the driver support functions are only aids and that as the driver you always have full responsibility for driving the car in a safe manner. A selection is listed below:
City Safety™
City Safety10 can assist you in critical situations to prevent or mitigate a collision with vehicles, larger animals, pedestrians or cyclists. Visual, acoustic and brake pulse warnings are given in the event of a risk of collision to help you act in time. If you fail to act in time and a collision is almost unavoidable, the car can be braked automatically. City Safety is activated when the engine is started and cannot be deactivated.
Blind Spot Information (BLIS)*
BLIS can inform you about vehicles in your blind spot and quickly approaching vehicles in an adjacent lane.
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)*
CTA is a driver support system to supplement BLIS and can warn of traffic crossing behind the car. CTA is activated if reverse gear is engaged or if the car rolls backwards.
Lane Keeping Aid
Lane assistance (Lane Keeping Aid) can help you to reduce the risk of the car leaving its lane unintentionally. The desired form of assistance is selected via Settings > My Car > IntelliSafe > Lane Keeping Aid Mode in the centre display's top view.
Steering assistance at risk of collision
The Collision avoidance assistance function can help you to reduce the risk of the car leaving its lane unintentionally and/or colliding with another vehicle/obstacle by actively steering the car back into its lane and/or swerving. The function consists of three subfunctions: Steering assistance at risk of run-off; Steering assistance at risk of head-on collision; and Steering assistance at risk of rear-end collision*.
Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist11 is a comfort function that can help to keep the car in its lane and at a preset distance to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist is selected and activated using the steering wheel's left-hand keypad. For steering assistance to work, the driver has to have both hands on the steering wheel and the lane markings have to be visible, for instance. When steering assistance is active, the driver display shows a GREEN steering wheel symbol.
10 Not available for all markets.
11 This function can be either standard or an option, depending on market.
Park Assist Pilot*
Park Assist Pilot can assist the driver to manoeuvre the car while parking. The driver's job is to pay attention around the car, follow the centre display instructions, select gear, control the speed and be prepared to brake/stop.
Parking with Park Assist Pilot
Drive at a speed slower than 30 km/h (20 mph) for parallel parking or 20 km/h (12 mph) for perpendicular parking. The distance between the car and the parking spaces should be approximately 1 metre (3 feet) when the function is searching for a parking space.
Exit parallel parking using Park Assist Pilot
The function can only be used for a parallel-parked car.
Park assist camera*
The park assist camera can assist the when manoeuvring in tight spaces by indicating obstacles with camera images and a graphic in the centre display. Selection of camera views and park assist lines is made in the centre display. Note that objects/obstacles may be closer to the car than they appear to be on the screen. The park assist camera is started automatically when reverse gear is selected or manually in the centre display:
By planning your driving and by driving economically, you can reduce fuel consumption, carbon dioxide emissions and other air pollution. This reduces your impact on the environment, as well as reducing the cost of your fuel consumption. You can influence some factors yourself, but not others. Here is some advice.

The owner's manual and other manuals contain safety instructions and all warning, important and note texts, which must be read. Some functions only apply to certain markets.
GETTING STARTED
Volvo On Call – The system's services only work in areas where the Volvo On Call partners have mobile coverage and in the markets where Volvo On Call is available.
Just as with mobile phones, atmospheric disturbances or sparse transmitter coverage may lead to connection being impossible, e.g. in sparsely populated areas.
For warning, important and note texts for Volvo On Call services, see the contract applicable to the Volvo On Call subscription as well as the Owner's Manual.
Sensus Navigation* – direct all your attention to the road and make sure that all your concentration is on driving. Follow applicable traffic legislation and drive with good judgment. Due to weather conditions or time of year affecting the road conditions, some recommendations may be less reliable.
OVERVIEW, EXTERIOR
Boot lid – bear in mind the risk of pinching when opening/closing the boot lid. Check that no one is near the boot lid as a pinching injury could have serious consequences. Always operate the boot lid with caution.
Keyless locking/unlocking* – Check that children or other passengers are not at risk of crushing when all the windows are closed with the remote control key or keyless opening* with a door handle.
OVERVIEW, INTERIOR
If the car is not equipped with a switch for activating/deactivating the passenger airbag, then the passenger airbag is always activated. Never use a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat when the airbag is activated. The passenger airbag must always be activated when front-facing passengers (children and adults) are sitting in the front passenger seat. Do not put objects in front of or above the dashboard where the passenger airbag is located.
The remote control key must always be taken out of the car when leaving it. Make sure that the car's electrical system is an ignition mode 0, particularly if there are children in the car.
Parking brake should always be used when parking on a slope. Engaging a gear or the automatic transmission's P position is not sufficient to hold the car stationary in all situations.
POWER FRONT SEATS
Adjust the position of the driver's seat before setting off, never while driving. Make sure that the seat is in locked position in order to avoid personal injury in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
FOLDING THE BACKRESTS IN THE REAR SEAT
Check that the backrests are locked properly after being raised or lowered, and that the head restraints are locked properly after being raised.
PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CLIMATE CONTROL
Heated seats* must not be used by people who find it difficult to perceive an increase in temperature due to numbness or who otherwise have problems operating the controls for the heated seats. Otherwise they may suffer burn injuries.
Preconditioning can be started via a timer set far in advance. Do not use preconditioning if the car is equipped with a heater*:
CONNECTIONS
DRIVER SUPPORT
The driver support systems available in the car are designed to be supplementary aids for the driver but cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions. They can never be a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with the traffic rules and regulations in force. The driver always bears ultimate responsibility for braking and steering the car.
Before using the car, it is recommended that you read all of the sections in the owner's manual relating to driver support systems in the car.
PARK ASSIST
Park Assist Pilot is supplementary driver support but it cannot handle all situations. The function is only intended to assist the driver during parallel and perpendicular parking. The driver bears full responsibility for parking the car safely and braking when necessary. The scanning may miss objects positioned deep in the parking space. The driver always bears responsibility for assessing whether the space offered by Park Assist Pilot is suitable for parking.
Park assist camera is a supplementary driver aid for parking the car. The function can never replace the driver's attention and judgement. The cameras have blind spots where obstacles cannot be detected. Pay particular attention if there are people and animals near the car. Bear in mind that the front of the car may swing out towards oncoming traffic during the parking manoeuvre.
Before using the car, it is recommended that you read all of the sections in the owner's manual relating to driver support systems in the car.
VOICE COMMANDS
The driver always holds overall responsibility for driving the vehicle in a safe manner and complying with all applicable rules of the road.

OVERVIEW, INTERIOR
During cold starting, the idling speed may be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types. This is done in order that the emissions system can reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which minimises exhaust emissions and protects the environment.
Head-up display* – When a City Safety function is activated, the information in the head-up display is replaced by a graphic for City Safety. This graphic is illuminated even if the head-up display is switched off.
The driver may have less chance of seeing information in the head-up display if, for example, he/she is wearing polarising sunglasses, if he/she is not sitting centrally in the seat, if there are any objects on the cover glass of the display unit, or in unfavourable light conditions. Certain visual defects may cause headaches and a feeling of stress during the use of the head-up display.
STEERING WHEEL
Trip computer – certain deviations may occur when calculating the distance travelled if the driving method is changed.
PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CLIMATE CONTROL
Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by selecting a higher or lower temperature than the actual desired temperature.
Preconditioning - The car's doors and windows should be closed during the preconditioning of the passenger compartment.
CONNECTIONS
Internet – data is transferred (data traffic) when using the Internet, and this may involve a cost. Activation of data roaming and Wi-Fi hotspots may involve further charges. Contact your network operator about data traffic costs. When downloading using a phone, pay extra attention to the data traffic costs.
