Park Assist front, rear and sides
Park Assist has different parameters depending on which part of the vehicle is approaching anobstacle.
Back
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle begins rolling backward or if reverse gear isengaged. The distance monitored begins approx. 1.5 meters (5 feet) behind the vehicle. The rear sensors will be automatically deactivated if the vehicle is backing up with a trailer attached.
NOTE
When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike car- rier on the trailer hitch – without Volvo originaltrailer cables – the Parking Assist system mayhave to be turned off manually to prevent thesensors from reacting to these.
Side sensors
Park Assist's side sensors are automatically acti- vated when the engine is started. They are activeat speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph). The distance monitored begins approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the sides. The audible signal for obsta-cles along the sides of the vehicle is emittedfrom the side speakers.
Front camera
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
Park Assist's front sensors are automatically acti- vated when the engine is started. The front sen-sors are active at speeds below 10 km/h(6 mph). The distance monitored begins approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.
NOTE
The Parking Assist system is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or when P

CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy poles or low obstacles may end up in the "signalshadow" and then go temporarily undetectedby the sensors – the pulsating tone may thenunexpectedly stop instead of becoming aconstant tone as expected. The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as protruding ramps.
• In such situations, pay extra attention andmaneuver/drive the vehicle very slowly orstop the current parking maneuver –there may be a high risk of damage tothe vehicle or other objects since infor-mation from the sensors is not alwaysreliable in such situations.
CAUTION
In some circumstances, the Park Assist Sys- tem may produce false warnings due to exter-nal sound sources with the same ultrasonicfrequencies as those the system works with. Examples of such sources are horns, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noisefrom motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with the vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch pro-trusion is included when the function meas-ures the distance to objects behind the vehi-cle.
