Rear Parking Assistance - Volvo XC70 Owner's Manual

1
General
Parking assistance is used as an aid to park-
ing. A signal indicates the distance to the
detected obstacle.
Parking assistance is available in two vari-
ants:
• Rear only
• Both front and rear.
WARNING
Parking assistance does not relinquish the
driver's own responsibility during parking.
The sensors have blind spots where obsta-
cles cannot be detected. Be aware of chil-
dren and animals near the car.

Depending on the market, the Parking assist-
ance system may be either standard, option or
accessory.
Function
The system is automatically activated when
the car is started and the lamp in the switch
for Off/On is illuminated. If parking assist-
ance is deactivated with the button, then the
lamp goes out.
The shorter the distance to the obstacle in
front or behind, the faster the acoustic signal.
If the volume of another audio source from
the audio system is high, then this is auto-
matically lowered.
The tone becomes constant at a distance of
about 30 cm. If there are objects within this
distance both behind and in front of the car,
then the signal alternates between the front
and rear loudspeakers.

Rear parking assistance

The distance covered to the rear of the car is
about 1.5 metres. The audio signal for obsta-
cles behind comes from the rear loudspeak-
ers.
Rear parking assistance is activated when
reverse gear is engaged.
The system must be deactivated when
reversing with a trailer, or bike carrier on the
towbar or similar. Otherwise they would trig-
ger the sensors.
NOTE
Rear parking assistance is deactivated
automatically when towing a trailer if Volvo
genuine trailer wiring is used.
