Park Assist (Option) - Volvo S80 Owner's Manual

Introduction
The park assist system(s) are designed to
assist you when driving into parking spaces,
garages, etc. They utilize ultrasound sensors
located in the bumpers to measure the dis-
tance to a vehicle or other object, or a person
who may be close to the front or rear of the
vehicle.
WARNING
These systems are designed to be a sup-
plementary aid when parking the vehicle.
They are not, however, intended to replace
the driver's attention and judgement.
Function
The system is activated automatically when
the vehicle is started. The indicator light in
the button in the center console illuminates.
The text Park Assist ON is shown in the cen-
ter console display if reverse gear is selected
or if the front sensors detect an object.
• The front park assist system is active from
the time the engine is started until the
vehicle exceeds a speed of approximately
10 mph (15 km/h). It is also active when
the vehicle is backing up.
• Rear park assist is active when the engine
is running and reverse gear has been
selected.
An intermittent audio signal becomes audible
when your vehicle approaches an object. The
frequency of the signal increases as you
come closer to the object in front of or
behind the vehicle. If the volume of another
audio source from the audio system is high,
this will be automatically lowered.
The tone becomes constant at a distance of
approximately 1 ft (30 cm). If there are
objects within this distance both behind and
in front of the vehicle, the signal alternates
between front and rear speakers.
Rear park assist
The distance monitored behind the vehicle is
approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The signal comes
from the rear speakers.
04 Comfort and driving pleasure
The system must be deactivated when tow-
ing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-
mounted carrier, etc, which could trigger the
rear park assist system's sensors.
NOTE
Rear park assist is deactivated automatical-
ly when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine
trailer wiring is used.
Front park assist
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle
is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The signal
comes from the front speakers.
It may not be possible to combine auxiliary
headlights and front park assist since these
lights could trigger the system's sensors.
