Parking assistance front and rear.
Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking. A signal indicates the distance to a detected object.
WARNING
Parking assistance does not relinquish the driver’s own responsibility during parking.
The sensors have blind spots where objects cannot be detected. Be aware of children and animals near the car.

Depending on the market, the Parking assist-
ance system may be either standard, an option or an accessory.
Function
The system is activated automatically when the car is started and the text message Park
Assist active, Exit to deactivate is shown on the audio system display.
Parking assistance is active at speeds below
15 km/h. The system is deactivated at higher speeds. The system is reactivated when the speed falls below 10 km/h again.
The frequency of the signal increases as you come closer to an object in front of or behind the car. If the volume of another sound source from the audio system is high, this is automatically muted.
The tone becomes constant at a distance of about 30 cm. If there are objects within this distance behind or in front of the car, the signal alternates between left and right-hand speakers.
Rear parking assistance
The distance covered to the rear of the car is about 1.5 m. Rear parking assistance is activated when reverse gear is engaged. If the system is switched off, the audio system display shows the text Park Assist deactivated
Enter to activate as soon as reverse gear is engaged. The signal comes from the rear loudspeakers.
The system must be deactivated when reversing with a trailer, or bike carrier on the
Parking assistance (option) towbar or similar. Otherwise the trailer or bike carrier would trigger the sensors.
Rear parking assistance is deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if a Volvo genuine trailer cable is used.
Front parking assistance
2
The distance covered to the front of the car is about 0.8 metres. The signal comes from the front loudspeakers.
Front parking assistance cannot be combined with extra lights because the sensors are affected by the extra lights.
Fault indicator
If the information symbol illuminates with constant glow and PARK AS-
SIST SERVICE REQUIRED is shown on the information display then parking assistance is disengaged.
WARNING
Some sources may deceive the system with false signals. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and motorcycle exhaust pipes. Ice and snow covering the sensors may also cause false warning signals.
2
Provided that the parking assistance is mounted both front and rear.
