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.

sectors.  
The center display shows an overview of the  
vehicle in relation to objects that have been  
detected.  
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.

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  
closer the obstacle is to the vehicle. The vol-

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.  
GREEN button indicator light – the func-  
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.

The symbol indicates that  
the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-  
vated and will not warn of any obstacles.

DRIVER SUPPORT  
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.  
Related information  
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.
