Park Assist Limitations - Volvo XC40 2021 Owner's Manual

DRIVER SUPPORT

Park Assist limitations

Park Assist (PAS 97 ) may not be able to detect
all conditions in all situations and functional-
ity may therefore be limited in certain cases.
The driver should be aware of the following
limitations for Park Assist:
WARNING
The parking sensors have dead/blind
•
spots where objects cannot be
detected.
Pay particular attention to people and
•
animals near the vehicle.
Bear in mind that the front end of the
•
vehicle may swing out towards oncom-
ing traffic during the parking maneuver.
WARNING
Be extra cautious when
reversing if this symbol is
shown when a trailer, bike
carrier or similar is
attached and electrically
connected to the vehicle.
The symbol indicates that
the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-
vated and will not warn of any obstacles.

CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy
poles or low obstacles may end up in the
"signal shadow" and then go temporarily
undetected by the sensors – the pulsating
tone may then unexpectedly stop instead
of becoming a constant tone as expected.
The sensors cannot detect high objects,
such as protruding ramps.
In such situations, pay extra attention
•
and maneuver/drive the vehicle very
slowly or stop the current parking
maneuver – there may be a high risk of
damage to the vehicle or other objects
since information from the sensors is
not always reliable in such situations.
CAUTION
In some circumstances, the Park Assist
System may produce false warnings due to
external sound sources with the same
ultrasonic frequencies as those the system
works with.
Examples of such sources are horns, wet
tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust
noise from motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with the
vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch
protrusion is included when the function
measures the distance to objects behind
the vehicle.
