Parking assistance (option)
Parking assistance, front and rear.
General
Parking assistance is used as an aid to park-
ing. A signal indicates the distance to a
detected object.
The frequency of the signal increases as you
1
come closer to an object in front of or
behind the car.
The tone becomes constant at a distance of
about 30 cm. If there are objects within this
distance both behind and in front
the signal alternates between front and rear
speakers.
1. Provided that the parking assistance
is mounted both front and rear.
If the volume of another sound source from
the audio system is high, this is automatically
lowered.
The system is always activated when the car
is started.
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.
Front parking assistance
The measurement area straight in front of the
car is approx. 0.8 m. The text message PARK
ASSIST ACTIVE appears in the audio display
when the sensors react to an obstacle in front
of the car.
Front parking assistance cannot be com-
bined with extra lights because the sensors
are affected by the extra lights.
Rear parking assistance

of the car,
The measurement area straight behind the

ASSIST ACTIVE appears in the audio display
when the gear is engaged.
Starting and driving
The system must be deactivated when driv-
ing with a trailer, bike carrier on the towbar or
the like as they would trigger the sensors.
Rear parking assistance is deactivated auto-
matically when towing a trailer if a Volvo gen-
uine trailer cable is used.
