Parking Assistance - Volvo XC90 Owner's Manual

1
General
Parking assistance front and rear.
Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
A signal indicates the distance to a detected
object.
WARNING
Parking assistance does not relinquish the
driver's own responsibility during parking.
The sensors have blind spots where objects
cannot be detected. Be aware of children
and animals near the car.
1 Depending on the market, the Parking assistance system may be either Standard, Option or Accessory.
Variants
Parking assistance is available in two variants:
•
Rear only
•
Both front and rear
Function
The system is switched on automatically when
the car is started at which point the lamp in the
switch for parking assistance illuminates.
The display shows the text message
ASSIST ACTIVE if reverse gear is engaged or
if the front sensors detect an object.
Parking assistance is active at speeds below
15 km/h. The system is deactivated at higher
speeds. When the speed is below 10 km/h the
system is reactivated.
The frequency of the signal increases as you
come closer to an object in front of or behind
the car. 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 behind or in front of the car, the signal
alternates between left and right-hand speak-
ers.

ing with a trailer, or bike carrier on the towbar
or similar. Otherwise the trailer or bike carrier
would trigger the sensors.
