Parking assistance front and rear<br />
Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.<br />
A signal indicates the distance to a detected<br />
object.<br />
WARNING<br />
Parking assistance does not relinquish the<br />
driver’s own responsibility during parking.<br />
The sensors have blind spots where objects<br />
cannot be detected. Be aware of children<br />
and animals near the car.<br />
1 Depending on the market, the Parking assistance<br />
system may be either standard, an option<br />
or an accessory.<br />
Function<br />
The system is activated automatically when<br />
the car is started and the text message Park<br />
Assist active, Exit to deactivate is shown<br />
on the audio system display.<br />
Parking assistance is active at speeds below<br />
15 km/h. The system is deactivated at higher<br />
speeds. The system is reactivated when the<br />
speed falls below 10 km/h again.<br />
The frequency of the signal increases as you<br />
come closer to an object in front of or behind<br />
the car. If the volume of another sound<br />
source from the audio system is high, this is<br />
automatically muted.<br />
The tone becomes constant at a distance of<br />
about 30 cm. If there are objects within this<br />
distance both behind and in front of the car,<br />
the signal alternates between left and righthand<br />
speakers.<br />
Rear parking assistance<br />
The distance covered to the rear of the car is<br />
about 1.5 m. Rear parking assistance is activated<br />
when reverse gear is engaged. If the<br />
system is switched off, the audio system display<br />
shows the text Park Assist deactivated<br />
Enter to activate as soon as reverse gear is<br />
engaged. The signal comes from the rear<br />
loudspeakers.<br />
The system must be deactivated when reversing<br />
with a trailer, or bike carrier on the<br />
towbar or similar. Otherwise the trailer or bike<br />
carrier would trigger the sensors.<br />
Rear parking assistance is deactivated automatically<br />
when towing a trailer if a <strong>Volvo</strong> genuine<br />
trailer cable is used.<br />
Front parking assistance<br />
The distance covered to the front of the car is<br />
about 0.8 metres. The signal comes from the<br />
front loudspeakers.<br />
Front parking assistance cannot be combined<br />
with extra lights because the sensors<br />
are affected by the extra lights.<br />
Fault indicator<br />
If the information symbol illuminates<br />
with constant glow and<br />
PARK ASSIST<br />
SERVICE REQUIRED is shown on<br />
the information display then parking assistance<br />
is disengaged.<br />
