Park assist*
NOTE
•
Rear park assist is deactivated auto-
matically when towing a trailer if Volvo
genuine trailer wiring is used. If a non-
Volvo trailer hitch is being used, it may
be necessary to switch off the system
manually, see page 178.
•
The system will not detect high
objects, such as a loading dock, etc.
•
Objects such as chains, thin shiny
04
poles or low objects may temporarily
not be detected by the system. This
may result in the pulsing tone unex-
pectedly stopping instead of changing
to a constant tone as the vehicle
approaches the object. In such cases,
use caution when backing up or stop
the vehicle to help avoid damage.

Front park assist
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle
is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audible
signal comes from the audio system's front
speakers.
It may not be possible to combine auxiliary
headlights and front park assist since these
lights could trigger the system's sensors.
NOTE
Front park assist is deactivated when the
parking brake is applied and or when the
gear selector is in the P position.
Faults in the system
If the information symbol illuminates and
Park assist syst Service required
on the information display, this indicates that
the system is not functioning properly and
has been disengaged. Consult a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the park assist
system may give unexpected warning sig-
nals that can be caused by external sound
sources that use the same ultrasound fre-
quencies as the system. This may include
such things as the horns of other vehicles,
wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,
motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This does
not indicate a fault in the system.
