behind and in front of the car, then the tone
sounds alternately from the loudspeakers.
IMPORTANT
Certain objects e.g. chains, thin glossy
poles or low barriers may be in the "signal
shadow" and are then temporarily not
detected by the sensors - the pulsating tone
may then unexpectedly stop instead of
changing over to the expected constant
tone.

In which case, pay extra attention and
manoeuvre/reposition the car particu-
larly slowly or stop the current parking
manoeuvre - there may be a high risk of
damage to vehicles or other objects
since the sensors are unable to function
optimally.

Rear parking assistance
The distance covered to the rear of the car is
about 1.5 metres. The acoustic signal for
obstacles behind comes from one of the rear
loudspeakers.
Rear parking assistance is activated when
reverse gear is engaged.
The system must be deactivated when revers-
ing with a trailer or bike carrier on the towbar
or similar - otherwise they would trigger the
sensors.
NOTE
Rear parking assistance is deactivated
automatically when towing a trailer if Volvo
genuine trailer wiring is used.
Front parking assistance
The distance covered in front of the car is about
0.8 metres. The acoustic signal for obstacles in
front comes from one of the front loudspeak-
ers.
Front parking assistance is active up to
15 km/h. The lamp in the button is illuminated
in order to indicate that the system is activated.
When the speed is below 10 km/h the system
is reactivated.
NOTE
Front parking assistance is deactivated
when the parking brake is applied or P mode
is selected in a car with an automatic gear-
box.
