tance to a vehicle, object, or a person who may
be close to the front or rear of your vehicle.
Park assist is available in two versions:•
Rear bumper only
•
Front and rear bumpers

ment.FunctionThe system is activated automatically when the
vehicle is started. The indicator light in the but-
ton in the center console illuminates.•

the time the engine is started until the vehi-
cle exceeds a speed of approximately
10 mph (15 km/h). It is also active when the

a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rearmounted
carrier, etc, which could trigger the rear park
assist system's sensors.

cally when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine

is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audible sig-
nal comes from the audio system's front

sors.
