NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar unit,
which has some general limitations – see the
section "Radar unit limitations".
In addition to the camera and radar sensor, the
function also uses the vehicle's rearward-facing
radar, which has certain general limitations the
driver should be aware of. See additional informa-

Park Assist*
The Park Assist function can help the driver
when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicating
distances to obstacles using audible signals and
graphics in the center display. Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor sec-
tors.
The center display shows an overview of the vehi-
cle in relation to objects that have been detected.
The marked sector indicates where the obstacle
is located. The closer the vehicle symbol is to a
marked sector, the closer the detected obstacle
is to your vehicle.
The audible signals will also speed up the closer
the obstacle is to the vehicle. The volume 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 vehicle has been
stationary for approx. 2 seconds. Audible signals
for obstacles behind the vehicle will remain active
even when the vehicle is stationary.
If a detected obstacle is within 30 cm (1 ft) from
the front or rear of the vehicle, the tone will
become constant and the active sensor's field
closest to the vehicle symbol will be filled in.
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 •
Acoustic warnings are only given for
objects directly in front of the vehicle's
path.
WARNING •
The Parking Assist function is supple-
mentary driver support intended to facili-
tate driving and help make it safer – it
cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.
• The parking sensors have dead/blind
spots where objects cannot be detected.
• Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.
• Parking Assist is not a substitute for the
driver's attention and judgment. The driver
is always responsible for ensuring the
vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.

DRIVER SUPPORT
382Park 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.
NOTE 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.
NOTE
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* (p. 381) 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

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 infor-
mation from the sensors is not always
reliable in such situations.
CAUTION 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.
NOTE 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
119
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
120
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. 119

side of the vehicle.
Related information
• Park Assist Camera* (p. 386) 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
121
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.
NOTE
•
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. 120
