Park Assist front, rear and sides
Park Assist has different parameters depending
on which part of the vehicle is approaching an
obstacle.
Front camera Continuous tone warning signal when the obstacle is
less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehicle
112
.
Park Assist's front sensors are automatically acti-
vated 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.
NOTE The Parking Assist system is deactivated
when the parking brake is applied or when P
is selected on vehicles with automatic trans-
mission.
CAUTION
When installing auxiliary lights: Make sure
these do not obscure the sensors – the auxili-
ary lights could be perceived as an obstacle.
Back
Continuous tone warning signal when the obstacle is
less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehicle
112The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle
begins rolling backward or if reverse gear is
engaged.
The distance monitored extends
approx. 1.5 meters (5 ft) behind the vehicle.
The Parking Assist system's rear sensors will be
automatically deactivated if the vehicle is backing
up with a trailer connected to the vehicle's elec-
trical system.
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.

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.
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 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
119
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.
CAUTION
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. 119

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

408Parking with Park Assist Pilot
Park Assist Pilot (PAP 124
) helps the driver park
using three different steps. The function can also
help the driver pull out of a parking space.
NOTE The PAP function measures the space and
steers the vehicle – the driver's role is to:
keep close watch of the area around the
vehicle
follow the instructions on the center dis-
play
change gears (reverse/forward) – a
"ping" sound indicates when the driver
should change gears
regulate and maintain a safe speed
apply the brakes and stop. Information about the actions required by the
driver are provided in the center display using
symbols, graphics and/or text.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria have
been met after the engine is started:

No trailer is hitched to the vehicle
Your vehicle's speed is lower than 30 km/h
(20 mph).
NOTE The distance between the vehicle and parking
spots should be 0.5-1.5 meters (1.6-5.0 ft)
when PAP is looking for parking.
ParkingPAP parks the vehicle using the following steps:
1. The system searches for and measures
potential parking spaces.
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space.
3. The vehicle is positioned in the parking space (the driver may be prompted to shift
gears).
Searching for and measuring potential
parking spots
The function can be activated
