Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*

The purpose of Lane Departure Warning (Lane
Departure Warning) is to help the driver to
reduce the risk of the vehicle accidentally leaving
its own lane in certain situations on motorways
and similar major routes.

Lane Departure Warning LDW or LKA

There are two versions of Lane assistance:

•

LDW -

Lane Departure Warning

- alerts

the driver with an acoustic signal or vibration
in the steering wheel.

•

LKA -

Lane Keeping Aid

(Lane Keeping Aid) - steers the car back into
its lane and/or alerts the driver with an
acoustic signal or vibration in the steering
wheel.

The car is supplied with one of these two sys-
tems - market and engine alternative determine
which of the systems the car is equipped with.

In the event of uncertainty whether the car has
LDW or LKA:

•

Open the menu system MY CAR and locate

Driver support system

- which specifies

Lane Departure Warning

if the car has

LDW or

Lane Keeping Aid

for LKA.

Principle for LDW

(The figure is schematic - not model specific.)

A camera reads the side lines of the road/lane.

Warning with steering wheel vibration

If the car crosses one of the side lines the driver
is alerted with an acoustic signal or vibration in
the steering wheel. Steering wheel vibration var-
ies - the longer the time for which the car has
crossed the side line, the longer the vibration.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) - function
(p. 246)

The driver is only warned once each time the
wheels cross a line. So there is no acoustic
alarm when there is a line between the car's
wheels.

WARNING

Lane assistance is merely a driver aid and

does not engage in all driving situations or

traffic, weather or road conditions.
The driver always bears ultimate responsibility

for ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely

and that applicable laws and road traffic regu-

lations are followed.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)*

The purpose of Lane Departure Warning is to
help the driver to reduce the risk of the vehicle
accidentally leaving its own lane in certain situa-
tions on motorways and similar major routes.

Lane Departure Warning LDW or LKA

There are two versions of Lane assistance:

•

LDW -

Lane Departure Warning

- alerts

the driver with an acoustic signal or vibration
in the steering wheel.

•

LKA -

Lane Keeping Aid

(Lane Keeping Aid) - steers the car back into
its lane and/or alerts the driver with an
acoustic signal or vibration in the steering
wheel.

The car is supplied with one of these two sys-
tems - market and engine alternative determine

- which specifies

Lane Departure Warning

if the car has

LDW or

Lane Keeping Aid

for LKA.

Principle for LKA

(The figure is schematic - not model specific.)

A camera reads the side lines of the road/lane.

If the car is about to cross a side line then Lane
Keeping Aid will actively steer the car back into
the lane with a slight steering torque in the steer-
ing wheel.

If the car reaches or crosses a side line then
Lane Keeping Aid will also alert the driver with
vibration in the steering wheel.

WARNING

Lane assistance is merely a driver aid and

does not engage in all driving situations or

traffic, weather or road conditions.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - function

Certain settings can be made for the Lane Keep-
ing Aid (Lane Keeping Aid) function.

Off & On

Lane Keeping Aid is active within the speed
range 65-200 km/h (40-125 mph) on roads with
clearly visible side lines. The function is temporar-
ily deactivated on narrow roads with less than 2.6
metres between the lane's side lines.

Press the centre console's button to activate or
deactivate the function. The button's lamp illumi-
nates when the function is switched on.

Some combinations of the selected equipment
leave no vacant space for an On/Off button in
the centre console - in which case the function is
instead handled in the car's menu system MY

CAR. For a description of the menu system, see
MY CAR (p. 109).

In addition, the following selections can be made
in MY CAR:

•

Warning with vibration in the steering wheel:

Vibration only

- On or Off.

•

Active steering:

Steering assist only

- On or

Off.

•

Both Warning with vibration in the steering
wheel and Active steering:

Full function

On or Off.

Active steering

Lane Keeping Aid strives to keep the car within
the side lines for the lane.

LKA intervenes and steers away.

If the car approaches the left or right side line of
the lane and the direction indicator is not acti-
vated, the car is steered back into the lane.

Warning with vibration in steering wheel

LKA steers and alerts with steering wheel vibration

If the car crosses a side line then Lane Keeping
Aid will alert the driver with vibration in the steer-
ing wheel

. This occurs regardless of whether

the car is actively steered back by applying a
slight steering torque.

The figure shows 3 vibrations when the side line is crossed.

Steering wheel vibration varies - the longer the time for which the car has crossed the side line, the more pulses there are.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

251

Dynamic cornering

LKA does not intervene in sharp inside bends.

In certain cases Lane assistance will allow the
car to cross lane lines without engaging active
steering or activating a warning. Using an adja-
cent lane for cutting a corner when there is a
clear line of vision is an example of this.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - limitations

Lane Keeping Aid (Lane Keeping Aid) camera
sensor has limitations in a similar way to the
human eye.

* - operation (p. 226).

In certain demanding situations Lane assis-
tance may have difficulty assisting the driver
in the right way - in which case it is recom-
mended 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 steering
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 mode until
the driver begins to steer the car again.

Park Assist*

Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
An acoustic signal as well as symbols on the
centre console's screen indicate the distance to
the detected obstacle.

Parking assistance sound level can be adjusted
during the ongoing acoustic signal using the cen-
tre 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. 109) MY CAR

Parking assistance is available in two variants:

•

Rear only

•

Both front and rear.

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 Park Assist function is supplemen-
tary driver support intended to facilitate
driving and make it safer – it cannot han-
dle all situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.

•

The parking sensors have blind spots
where obstacles cannot be detected.

•

Be particularly aware of people and ani-
mals near the car.

•

The Park Assist system is not a substitute
for the driver's attention and judgement.
The driver is always responsible for
ensuring the car is driven in a safe man-
ner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles,
and in accordance with current traffic
rules and regulations.

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 sensor(s)
detected an obstacle. The closer to the car sym-
bol a selected sector box is, the shorter the dis-
tance 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.

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 sen-
sors - the pulsating tone may then unexpect-
edly 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 particularly
slowly or stop the current parking
manoeuvre - there may be a high risk of
damage to vehicles or other objects since
information from the sensors is not
always reliable in such situations.

Park assist syst* - backward

Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
An acoustic signal as well as symbols on the
centre console's screen indicate the distance to
the detected obstacle.

The distance covered to the rear of the car is
about 1.5 metres. The acoustic signal for obsta-
cles behind comes from one of the rear loud-
speakers.

Rear parking assistance is activated when
reverse gear is engaged.

When reversing with e.g. a trailer on the towbar,
rear parking assistance is switched off automati-
cally - otherwise the sensors would react to the
trailer.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

256

When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike car-
rier on the towbar - without Volvo genuine
trailer wiring - parking assistance may need to
be switched off manually in order that the
sensors do not react to them.

Park assist syst* - forward

Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
An acoustic signal as well as symbols on the
centre console's screen indicate distance to
detected obstacles.

The distance covered in front of the car is about
0.8 metres. The acoustic signal for obstacles in
front comes from one of the front loudspeakers.

The front parking assistance system is active up
to 10 km/h (6 mph).

If the Parking Assistance System is deactivated
because the car is moving too quickly - 11 km/h

(7 mph) or above - the function is reactivated
when the speed falls below 10 km/h (6 mph).

Parking assistance is deactivated when the
parking brake is applied or P mode is
selected in a car with an automatic gearbox.

IMPORTANT

When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Remember
that these must not obscure the sensors - the
auxiliary lamps may then be perceived as an
obstacle.
