Park Assist - Volvo XC90 TWIN ENGINE Owner's Manual

DRIVER SUPPORT

Park Assist*

The Park Assist Pilot function can assist the
driver when manoeuvring in tight spaces by indi-
cating the distance to obstacles through acous-
tic signals combined with a graphic in the centre
display.
Screen view showing obstacle zones and sensor sectors.
The centre display shows an overview of the rela-
tionship between the car and detected obstacles.
The highlighted sector indicates the location of
the obstacle. The closer the car symbol is to a
highlighted sector box, the shorter the distance
between the car and detected obstacle.
The shorter the distance to the obstacle, the
faster the signal sounds. Other sound from the
audio system is muted automatically.
The acoustic signal for obstacles ahead and to
the sides is active when the car is moving but
390
stops after the car has been stationary for
approx. 2 seconds. The acoustic signal for obsta-
cles behind is also active when the car is station-
ary.
At a distance within 30 cm (1 ft) from an obsta-
cle behind or in front of the car, the tone is con-
stant and the active sensor's field closest to the
car symbol is filled.
The volume of the parking assistance signal can
be adjusted while the signal is sounding by
means of the [>II] knob on the centre console.
Adjustment can also be performed in the top
view's Settings menu option.
NOTE
•
Acoustic warnings are only given for
