Park assist*
04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.181 Introduction
The park assist system is designed to assist
you when driving into parking spaces, garages,
etc. It utilizes four ultrasound sensors located
in one or both bumpers to measure the dis-
tance to a vehicle, object, or a person who may
be close to the front or rear of your vehicle. An
audible signal and symbols in the audio sys-
tem’s display indicate the distance to the
object.
This system is available in the rear bumper
only, or in both the front and rear bumpers.
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT a
safety system. This system is designed to
be a supplementary aid when parking the
vehicle. It is not, however, intended to
replace the driver's attention and judge-
ment.
Function
Park assist button
The system is activated automatically when the
vehicle is started. The indicator light in the but-
ton in the center console illuminates when the
system is on.
•The front park assist system is active from
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
vehicle is backing up.
•Rear park assist is active when the engine
is running and reverse gear has been
selected.
Activating/deactivatingThe system is activated automatically when the
vehicle is started.

Press the Park assist button on the center
console to temporarily deactivate the sys-
tem(s).
> The indicator light in the button will go
out when the system has been deacti-
vated.
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
Park assist is disengaged automatically
when the parking brake is applied.

Signals from the park assist system
View in the display (warning for objects front left/
right rear)
Visual indicatorThe audio system’s display gives an overview
of the vehicle’s position in relation to a
detected object.
The marked sectors in the display indicate that
one or more of the sensors has detected an
object. The closer the car symbol comes to a
sector, the closer the vehicle is to the object.
If the infotainment system is switched off, the
park assist system will not be able to provide a
visual indicator. An audible signal will still be
provided.
Audible signalThe Park Assist system uses an intermittent
tone that pulses faster as you come close to an
object, and becomes constant when you are
within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an object
in front of or behind the vehicle. If there are
objects within this distance both behind and in
front of the vehicle, the tone alternates
between front and rear speakers.
NOTE
The level of the audible signal can be low-
ered/raised with the infotainment volume
control. The level can also be set in the MY
CAR menu system, see page 129.
If the volume of another source from the audio
system is high, this will be automatically low-
ered.
Rear park assist
The distance monitored behind the vehicle is
approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signal
comes from the rear speakers.
The system must be deactivated when towing
a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted
carrier, etc, which could trigger the rear park
assist system's sensors.
NOTE
Rear park assist is deactivated automati-
cally when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine
trailer wiring is used.

Front park assist
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle
is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audible sig-
nal comes from the audio system's front
speakers.
It may not be possible to combine auxiliary
headlights and front park assist since these
lights could trigger the system's sensors.
NOTE
Front park assist is deactivated when the
parking brake is applied and or when the
gear selector is in the P position.
Faults in the system
If the information symbol illuminates and Park
assist syst Service required is shown on the
information display, this indicates that the sys-
tem is not functioning properly and has been
disengaged. Consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the park assist
system may give unexpected warning sig-
nals that can be caused by external sound
sources that use the same ultrasound fre-
quencies as the system. This may include
such things as the horns of other vehicles,
wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,
motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This does
not indicate a fault in the system.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC)*
04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.185 Introduction
The Park Assist Camera uses the display in the
center console to show the area behind the car
while you are backing up.
PAC also shows guiding lines in the on-screen
image to indicate the direction that the vehicle
will take as it moves rearward, which helps
simplify parallel parking, backing into a tight
space or when attaching a trailer to the vehicle.
NOTE
PAC can only be installed on vehicles equip-
ped with the Volvo’s own navigation system
VNS.
WARNING
•PAC is designed to be a supplementary
aid when parking the vehicle. It is not,
however, intended to replace the
driver’s attention and judgment.
•The camera has blind spots where it
cannot detect objects or people behind
the vehicle.
•Pay particular attention to people or ani-
mals that are close to the vehicle.
Function
The driver sees what is behind the vehicle and
if a person or animal should suddenly appear
from the side.
PAC is mounted on the tailgate, near the open-
ing handle.
The camera has built-in electronics that help
reduce the “fish-eye” effect so that the image
shown on the screen is as natural as possible.
This may cause some objects on the screen to
“lean,” which is normal.
WARNING
Objects seen on the screen may be closer
than they appear to be.
Ambient lighting conditionsThe camera automatically monitors the ambi-
ent lighting conditions behind the vehicle and
constantly adjusts sensitivity to light. This may
cause the brightness and quality of the image
on the screen to vary slightly. Sensitivity to light
is increased in dark conditions or in bad
weather, which may affect image quality.
If the image on the screen seems too dark,
brightness can be increased with the thumb
wheel on the lighting panel.
NOTE
In order to function properly, the camera
lens should always be kept clean. This is
particularly important in bad weather. Keep
the lens free of dirt, ice or snow.

Using PAC
Activation
PAC is activated when the gear selector is
moved to R if the system is selected in the MY
CAR menu system or by pressing the CAM
button in the center console. See page 128 for
a description of the menu system.
If the Volvo Navigation System (VNS) is in use,
PAC will automatically override the navigation
system to show the camera's image on the
screen instead of navigation information, for as
long as reverse gear is selected.
ZoomThe camera can be useful when attaching a
trailer. Press CAM to zoom in on the trailer
hitch (and press this button again to return to
the normal camera view).With the camera zoomed in on the trailer hitch,
a guiding line showing the hitch's path toward
the trailer will be projected. This feature can be
activated in the MY CAR menu, see
page 129. The guiding lines for the wheels (see
the following section "Guiding lines") and for
the trailer hitch cannot be displayed at the
same time.
If the camera shows an enlarged (zoomed)
image, turn TUNE counterclockwise, or press
EXIT, CAM or OK to return to a normal view.
DeactivationMove the gear selector from R to another posi-
tion. There is a slight delay in the PAC system,
which means that the view from behind the
vehicle will remain on the screen for approxi-
mately 15 seconds after the gear selector has
been moved from the R position or until the
vehicle reaches a forward speed of 6 mph
(10 km/h). The screen will then revert to the
mode that it was in before R was selected and
will, for example, display navigation system
information.
NOTE
If any button on the center console control
panel is pressed, the camera image will dis-
appear from the display. Pressing CAM will
return the camera image to the display.
Guiding lines
The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were a path on the ground behind the vehicle
and are affected by the way in which the steer-
ing wheel is turned. This enables the driver to
see path the vehicle will take, even if he/she
turns the steering wheel while backing up.
NOTE
When backing up with a trailer, the guiding
lines show the path that the vehicle will
take, not the trailer.

limits that any object (door mirrors, corners of
the body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle ,
even when the it turns.
The "wheel tracks" (3) between the side marker
lines show where the wheels will roll and can
extend up to approximately 10.5 ft (3.2 m)
behind the bumper if there are no objects in the
way.
Vehicles equipped with Park Assist
Colored fields (4-one per sensor) indicate distance
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Park
Assist system, the distance to an object will be
indicated more exactly and colored markers in
the display indicate which of the sensor(s) has
detected the object.The markers change color (from yellow to
orange to red) as the vehicle comes closer to
the object.
