Park assist (option)
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 distance 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 supplementary 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 center 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.

Press the Park assist button on the center console to temporarily deactivate the system(s). The indicator light in the
button will go out when the system(s) have been deactivated.
If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will be deactivated by pressing the button.
Park assist will be automatically reactivated the next time the engine is started, or if the button is pressed (the indicator
light in the button will illuminate).
NOTE
Front park assist is disengaged automatically when the parking brake is applied.
Cleaning the sensors
The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they work properly. Clean them with water and a suitable car
washing detergent.
Ice and snow covering the sensors may cause incorrect warning signals.

Refueling
or components, altering emission system components or location or removing components, and/or repeated use of
leaded fuel.
NOTE
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converters.
Heated oxygen sensors

that continuously monitors engine functions and controls fuel injection. The ratio of fuel to air into the engine is
continuously adjusted for efficient combustion to help reduce harmful emissions.

Loading
Introduction
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is determined by factors such as the number of passengers, the amount of
cargo, the weight of any accessories that may be installed, etc.
NOTE
To increase loading space, the rear seat backrests can be folded down, see page 80
.
The trunk lid can be opened via the button located on the lighting panel, see page 60.
Load the cargo in the trunk against the backrest.
Load wide cargo in the trunk on both sides of the rear seat split.
Unstable loads can be secured to the load anchoring eyelets with straps or web lashings to help keep them from
shifting.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics may change depending on the weight and distribution of the load.
A 44-pound (20 kg) object produces a force of 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg) in a head-on collision at 30 mph (50
km/h).
Loading the cargo area
Stop the engine and apply the parking brake when loading or unloading long objects. The gear selector can be knocked
out of position by long loads, which could set the vehicle in motion. To increase loading space, the rear seat backrests
can be folded down, see page 80
.
WARNING
Stop the engine, put the gear selector in P , and apply the parking brake when loading or unloading long objects.
The rear seat should not be loaded to a level higher than 2 in. (5 cm) below the upper edge of the rear side
windows. Objects placed higher than this level could impede the function of the Volvo Inflatable Curtain.
