Park Assist Pilot front, rear and

along the sides

*

Park Assist Pilot has different behaviour
depending on which part of the car is
approaching an obstacle.

Forwards

The warning signal has a constant tone at less than

approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from an obstacle.

The Parking Assistance System's front detec-
tors are activated automatically when the
engine is started. They are active at speeds
below 10 km/h (6 mph).

The measuring range is approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft)
in front of the car.

NOTE

Parking assistance is deactivated when the
parking brake is used or 

P

 mode is

selected in a car with an automatic gear-
box.

IMPORTANT

When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Remember
that these must not obscure the sensors -
the auxiliary lamps may then be perceived
as an obstacle.

Backwards

The warning signal has a constant tone at less than

approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from an obstacle.

The sensors for reverse are activated if the car
rolls backward without a gear engaged or

DRIVER SUPPORT

389

when the gear lever is moved to reverse posi-
tion.

The measuring range is approx. 1.5 metres
(5 ft) behind the car.

When reversing with a trailer connected to the
car's electrical system, parking assistance
backward is deactivated automatically.

NOTE

When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike
carrier on the towbar - without Volvo genu-
ine trailer wiring - parking assistance may
need to be switched off manually in order
that the sensors do not react to them.

Along the sides

The warning signal pulses intensively at less than

approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from an obstacle.

Parking assistance side sensors are activated
automatically when the engine is started. They
are active at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph).

The measuring range is approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft)
from the sides.

However, the detection range of the side sen-
sors increases significantly when the steering
angle of the front wheels is increased, and
obstacles of up to approx. 90 cm (3 ft) located
diagonally behind or in front of the vehicle are
detected when the steering wheel is turned.

Limitations of Parking assistance

The Parking Assistance System cannot
detect everything in all situations and may
therefore have limited functionality in some
cases.

A driver should be aware about the following
examples of Park Assist Pilot's limitations:

WARNING

•

The parking sensors have blind spots
where obstacles cannot be detected.

•

Pay particular attention if there are
people and animals near the car.

•

Bear in mind that the front of the car
may swing out towards oncoming traf-
fic during the parking manoeuvre.

WARNING

Pay additional attention

while reversing when this

symbol is shown if a

trailer, bicycle rack or sim-

ilar is mounted and electri-

cally connected to the car.
The symbol indicates that

the parking assistance sensors rearward

are 

switched off

 and will not warn of any

obstacles.

IMPORTANT

Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or
low barriers may be in the "signal shadow"
and are then temporarily not detected by
the sensors - the pulsating tone may then
unexpectedly stop instead of changing
over to the expected constant tone.

The sensors cannot detect high objects,
such as projecting loading docks.

•

In such situations, pay extra attention
and manoeuvre/reposition the car par-
ticularly slowly or stop the current
parking manoeuvre - there may be a
high risk of damage to vehicles or
other objects since information from
the sensors is not always reliable in
such situations.

IMPORTANT

In certain conditions the parking assistance
system may produce incorrect warning
signals that are caused by external sound
sources with the same ultrasonic frequen-
cies that the system works with.

Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,
exhaust noises from motorcycles, etc.

NOTE

Since a towbar is configured with the car's
electrical system, towbar protrusion is
included when the function measures the
distance to an object behind the car.

WARNING

•

The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.

•

•

Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.

360° view

*

The "field of vision" of the parking cameras with

approximate coverage area.

The 

360° view

 function activates all parking

cameras, whereupon the four sides of the car
are shown simultaneously in the centre dis-
play, which helps the driver to observe what is
around the car when manoeuvring at slow
speeds.

From the 360° view, each camera view can
be activated separately:

•

Press the screen for the desired “field of
vision” of the camera, e.g. on the surface
in front of/above the front camera.

A camera symbol on the cen-
tre display's car symbol indi-
cates which of the cameras is
active.

If the car is also equipped
with 

Park Assist System

*

then distance to detected obstacles is illus-
trated with fields in different colours.

The cameras can be activated automatically or
manually.

Backwards

The backwards-facing camera is fitted above the reg-

istration plate.

The backward-facing camera shows a wide
area behind the car. For certain models, part
of the bumper can be seen as well as the tow-
bar in some cases.

Objects shown in the centre display may
appear slightly tilted — this is normal.

Forwards

The forwards parking camera is located in the grille.

The front camera can be helpful on an exit
road with limited visibility to the sides, e.g.
when there are high hedges. It is active at
speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph) - following
which, the front camera is switched off.

If the car does not reach 50 km/h (30 mph)
and the speed falls below 22 km/h (14 mph)
within 1 minute after the forward-facing cam-
era has been extinguished, the camera is reac-
tivated.

Park assist lines for park assist

camera

*

The Park assist cameras indicate the position
of the car in relation to its surroundings by
displaying lines on the screen.

Example of park assist lines.

Park assist lines show the intended route for
the car's external dimensions with the current
steering wheel angle - this can facilitate paral-
lel parking, reversing into tight spaces and
when connecting a trailer.

The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were at ground level behind the car and
respond directly to steering wheel move-
ments, showing the driver the path the car will
take - also when the car is turning.

These park assist lines include the car's most
protruding parts, e.g. towbar, door mirrors and
corners.

NOTE

•

When reversing with a trailer which is
not connected electrically to the car,
the park assist lines on the display
show the route the 

car

 will take – not

the trailer.

•

The screen shows no park assist lines
when a trailer is connected electrically
to the car's electrical system.

•

Park assist lines are not shown when
zooming in.

||

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

396

IMPORTANT

•

Remember, that with the rear camera
view selected, the monitor only dis-
plays the area behind the car. Be
aware of the sides and front of the car
when manoeuvring in reverse.

•

The same applies vice versa - note
what happens to the rear parts of the
car when the front camera view is
selected.

•

Note that the park assist lines show
the 

shortest

 route. Therefore, pay extra

attention to the car's sides so that they
do not go against/over something
when the steering wheel is turned
when driving forward or that the front
sweeps against/over something when
the steering wheel is turned when
reversing.

Park assist lines in 360° view

*

360° view with park assist lines.

With the 360° view, park assist lines are
shown behind, in front of and at the side of the
car (depending on the direction of travel):

•

When driving forwards: Front lines

•

When reversing: Side lines and reversing
lines.

With front or rear camera selected, the park
assist lines appear regardless of the car's
direction of travel.

With one side camera selected, the park assist
lines only appear when reversing.

) can be used for

both parallel and perpendicular parking.

Parallel parking

The principal of parallel parking.

The function parks the car using the following
steps:

1. A parking space is identified and meas-

ured.

2. The car is reversed into the space.
3. The car is positioned in the space by

means of driving forward/backward.

With the 

Park Out

 function, a parallel-parked

car can also get help from the function with
leaving the parking space.

Perpendicular parking

Principle for perpendicular parking.

The function parks the car using the following
steps:

1. A parking space is identified and meas-

ured.

2. The car is reversed into the space and

then positioned in the space by means of
driving forward/backward.

NOTE

When leaving a parking space, the 

Park

Out

 function must only be used for a paral-

lel-parked car - it does not work for a per-
pendicular-parked car.
