Park Assist front, rear and sides
Park Assist has different parameters depending on which part of the vehicle is approaching an obstacle.
Back

The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle begins rolling backward or if reverse gear is engaged.
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.
When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike carrier on the trailer hitch – without Volvo original trailer cables – the Parking Assist system may have to be turned off manually to prevent the sensors from reacting to these.Note
Side sensors

Park Assist's side sensors are automatically activated when the engine is started. They are active at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph).
The distance monitored begins approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the sides. The audible signal for obstacles along the sides of the vehicle is emitted from the side speakers.
Front camera

Park Assist's front sensors are automatically activated when the engine is started. The front sensors 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.
The Parking Assist system is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or when P is selected on vehicles with automatic transmission.Note
When installing auxiliary lights: Make sure these do not obscure the sensors – the auxiliary lights could be perceived as an obstacle.Important
