Park Assist*
WARNING
The Park Assist function can help the driver
when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicat-
ing distances to obstacles using audible sig-
nals and graphics in the center display.
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and help make it safer – it cannot han-
dle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions.

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.
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual about this
function to learn of its limitations,
which the driver must be aware of
before using the function.
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's field closest to the vehicle symbol will be
filled in.
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.
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 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.
Besides in the sector closest to the vehicle
symbol, audible warnings are only provided
for objects located directly in the vehicle's
path.
The side sectors change color as the distance
between the vehicle and an object decreases.

The audible signals will also speed up the

The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle
begins rolling backward or if reverse gear is
engaged.
Park Assist front, rear and sides*
Park Assist behaves differently depending on
which part of the vehicle is approaching an
obstacle.
The Park Assist system is deactivated
when the parking brake is used or when P
is selected on vehicles with automatic
transmission.
The distance monitored extends
approx. 1.5 meters (5 ft) behind the vehicle.
Front camera
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.
When installing auxiliary lights: Make sure
these do not obscure the sensors – the
auxiliary lights could be perceived as an
obstacle.
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.
Back
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.
The warning signal has a continuous tone when the
obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the
vehicle.

Park Assist limitations
Assist*
Park Assist may not be able to detect all con-
ditions in all situations and functionality may
therefore be limited in certain cases.
The driver should be aware of the following
limitations for Park Assist:
The Park Assist function can be activated or
deactivated.
Park Assist's front and side sensors are auto-
matically activated when the engine is started.
The rear sensors are activated if the vehicle is
moving backward or reverse gear is engaged.
WARNING
Activate or deactivate the
function using this button in
the center display's Function
view.
The parking sensors have dead/blind
spots where objects cannot be
detected.
•
Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.
•
•
The warning signal will begin pulsating rapidly when
the obstacle is less than approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from
the vehicle.
Bear in mind that the front end of the
vehicle may swing out towards oncom-
ing traffic during the parking maneuver.

tion is activated.

Park Assist's side sensors are automatically
activated when the engine is started. They are
active at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph).
GRAY button indicator light – the function
is deactivated.
WARNING
The distance monitored is approx. 25 cm
(0.8 ft) out from the sides.
In vehicles equipped with Park Assist Cam-
era*, Park Assist can also be activated or deac-
tivated from the relevant camera view.
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
•
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.
