Park Assist front, rear and sides

Park Assist has different parameters depending
on which part of the vehicle is approaching an
obstacle.

Back

Note: This illustration is general and details may vary
depending on model.

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

The distance monitored begins
approx. 1.5 meters (5 feet) behind the vehicle.

The rear sensors will be automatically deactivated
if the vehicle is backing up with a trailer attached.

When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike car-
rier 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

Park Assist's side sensors are automatically acti-
vated when the engine is started. They are active
at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph).

The distance monitored begins approx. 30 cm
(1 ft) from the sides. The audible signal for obsta-
cles along the sides of the vehicle is emitted
from the side speakers.

Front camera

Note: This illustration is general and details may vary
depending on model.

Park Assist's front sensors are automatically acti-
vated when the engine is started. The front sen-
sors are active at speeds below 10 km/h
(6 mph).

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

The Parking Assist system is deactivated
when the parking brake is applied or when P
is selected on vehicles with automatic trans-
mission.

Park Assist limitations

Park Assist may not be able to detect all condi-
tions in all situations and functionality may there-
fore be limited in certain cases.

The driver should be aware of the following limi-
tations for Park Assist:

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.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

350

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 infor-
mation from the sensors is not always
reliable in such situations.

In some circumstances, the Park Assist Sys-
tem may produce false warnings due to exter-
nal 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.

When a trailer hitch is configured with the
vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch pro-
trusion is included when the function meas-
ures the distance to objects behind the vehi-
cle.

Park Assist Camera views

PAC can display a 360° panoramic view as well
as separate views for each of the other cameras:
rear, front, left and right.

360° view

The location of the cameras and their approximate fields
of vision.

The

360° view

function activates all Park Assist

Cameras and all four sides of the vehicle are
shown in the center display at once to help the
driver see what is around the vehicle while
maneuvering at low speeds.

From the 360° view, each camera view can be
activated separately:

•

Tap the screen to select the camera's field of
vision, e.g. in the area in front/above the front
camera.

The active cameras will be indi-
cated by a camera symbol on
the vehicle symbol in the center
display.

If the vehicle is equipped with

Park Assist System

*, the dis-

tance to detected obstacles will be illustrated by
fields in different colors.

The cameras can be activated automatically or
manually. See "Starting the Park Assist Camera"
for more information.

Back

The rear camera

113

is located above the license plate.

The rear camera shows a wide area behind the
vehicle. On certain models, part of the bumper
and the towbar (if installed) may be visible.

Objects on the center display may appear to be
leaning slightly. This is normal.

Front camera

The front Park Assist Camera

114

is located in the grille.

The front camera can be useful when pulling out
from areas with limited visibility, such as a drive-
way surrounded by a hedge. The front camera is
active at speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph) and is
automatically turned off when the vehicle
exceeds this speed.

If the vehicle does not reach a speed of 50 km/h
(30 mph) and speed falls below 22 km/h
(14 mph) within 1 minute after the front camera
turns off, the camera will be reactivated.

Park Assist Camera trajectory lines

The Park Assist Camera uses trajectory lines
and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle's
position in relation to its immediate surround-
ings.

Example

115

of trajectory lines.

The trajectory lines show the anticipated trajec-
tory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions based
on the current position of the steering wheel to

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 the
vehicle and are directly affected by the way in
which the steering wheel is turned. This enables
the driver to see path the vehicle will take, even if
he/she turns the steering wheel.

These lines also indicate the outermost limits that
any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, corners of
the body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle.

•

When reversing with a trailer that is not
electrically connected to the vehicle, the
screen guide lines show the path the
vehicle will take – not the trailer.

•

The screen does not show guide lines
when a trailer is electrically connected to
the vehicle's electrical system.

•

Guide lines are not shown when zooming
in.

•

Bear in mind that when the rearward
camera view is selected, the screen only
shows the area behind the vehicle – pay
attention to the sides and front of the
vehicle when steering while reversing.

•

The same applies to the reverse – pay
attention to what is happening with the
rear parts of the vehicle when the front
camera view is selected.

•

Note that the guide lines show the short-
est path – pay extra attention to ensure
that the vehicle sides do not come in
contact with/travel over anything when
steering while driving forward or that the
vehicle front moves toward/over anything
when steering while reversing.

Trajectory lines in 360° view

360° view with trajectory lines

115

In the 360° view, trajectory lines are shown
behind, in front of, or to the sides of the vehicle,
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 the
vehicle's direction of travel.

With a side camera selected, the trajectory lines
will only be shown if the vehicle is backing up.

Park Assist Camera limitations

The Park Assist Camera may not be able to
detect all conditions in all situations and func-
tionality may therefore be limited.

The driver should be aware of the following limi-
tations for the Park Assist Camera:

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.

A bike carrier and other accessories mounted
on the rear of the vehicle can obscure the
camera's view.

117

In Canada, it is also possible to select the 360° view.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

358

Blind sectors

There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of
vision.

With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles may
not be detected if they are located in the "joints"
where the edges of the individual camera views
meet.

WARNING

Even if it seems as though only a fairly small

section of the screen image is obstructed, this

may mean that a relatively large sector is hid-

den and obstacles there may not be detected

until they are very near the vehicle.

Defective camera

If a camera sector is dark and
contains this symbol, this indi-
cates that the camera is not
functioning properly.

See the following illustration for
an example.

The vehicle's left-side camera is malfunctioning.

Dark camera sector

A dark camera sector may also be displayed in
the following situations, but without the defective
camera symbol:

•

a door is open

•

the tailgate is open

•

a rearview mirror is folded in

Lighting conditions

The camera image is automatically adjusted
according to the current lighting conditions. This

means that the brightness and quality of the
image may vary slightly. Poor lighting conditions
may result in reduced image quality.
