Front/Rear Park Assist - Volvo C70 Owner's Manual

06 Starting and driving

Front/rear park assist

Front/rear park assist (option/
accessory)
The park assist system(s) are designed to
assist you when driving into parking spaces,
06
garages, etc. They utilize ultrasound
sensors located in the bumpers to measure
the distance to a vehicle or other object, or
a person who may be close to the front or
rear of the vehicle.
When is park assist active
• Front: the system is active from the time
the engine is started until the car exceeds
a speed of approximately 10 mph (15 km/
h). Front park assist is also active when
140
the vehicle is backing up to help simplify
parallel parking.
• Rear: when the engine is running and
reverse gear is selected.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear
park assist, both systems will either be acti-
vated or deactivated together. They cannot
be used separately.
When park assist is actively working
1. The audio system's volume will be
reduced.
2. An intermittent signal will be audible
from the speakers to indicate that you
are approaching a person, object,
parked vehicle, etc.
3. The signals begin when the distance
between the bumper and the object is:
4. Rear: approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters)
5. Front: approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 meters)
6. At a distance of approximately 1 foot
(30 cm), the signal will become con-
stant.
Deactivating park assist
Press the Exit button on the center control
panel (see the illustration on page 72).
ASSIST DEACTIVATED, ENTER TO ACTI-
VATE will be shown in the display in the cen-
ter console.
Reactivating park assist
Press the Enter button in the center control
panel to reactivate the system. The text
PARK ASSIST ACTIVATED, EXIT TO
DEACTIVATE will be shown in the display in
the center console.
NOTE
It may be necessary to deactivate the park
assist system(s) in certain cases.
• Rear park assist: towing a trailer, carrying
bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier, etc,
could trigger the rear park assist system's
sensors.
• Front park assist: it may not be possible
to combine auxiliary headlights and front
park assist since these lights could trigger
the system's sensors.
WARNING
This system is designed to be a supplemen-
tary aid when parking the vehicle. It is not,
however, intended to replace the driver's
attention and judgement.
