General
Parking assistance front and rear.
Parking assistance is used as an aid to park-
ing. 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.
Depending on the market, the Parking assistance system may be either Standard, Option or Accessory.

Variants
Parking assistance is available in two vari-
ants:
•
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 illu-
minates.
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
automatically 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 sig-
nal alternates between left and right-hand
speakers.
06 Starting and driving
Rear parking assistance
The distance covered to the rear of the car is
about 1.5 m. Rear parking assistance is acti-
vated when reverse gear is engaged. The sig-
nal comes from the rear loudspeakers.
The system must be deactivated when
reversing with a trailer, or bike carrier on the
towbar or similar. Otherwise the trailer or bike
carrier would trigger the sensors.
Rear parking assistance is deactivated auto-
matically when towing a trailer if a Volvo gen-
PARK uine trailer cable is used.
Front parking assistance
The distance covered to the front of the car is
about 0.8 metres. The signal comes from the
front loudspeakers.
Front parking assistance cannot be combined
with extra lights because the sensors are
affected by the extra lights.
Fault indicator

nates with constant glow and the
display shows
