Parking assistance, front and rear
General
Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
A signal indicates the distance to an object. The
frequency of the signal increases a you come
closer to an object in front* of or behind the car.
The tone becomes constant at a distance of
about 30 cm. If there are objects within this
distance both behind and in front* of the car,
the signal alternates between front and rear
speakers. If the volume of another sound
source from the audio system is high, this is
automatically lowered.
The system is always activated when the car is
started.
*Provided that parking assistance is mounted
both front and rear.
WARNING!
Parking assistance does not relinquish the
driver’s own responsibility during parking.
The sensors have blind spots where objects
cannot be detected. Be aware of children and
animals near the car.

The measurement area straight in front of the
car is approx. 0.8 m.
The text message PARK ASSIST ACTIVE

with parking assistance because the sensors
will react to the auxiliary lamps.

approx. 1.5 m.

cally when towing a trailer if a Volvo genuine
