Park Assist front, rear and sides

Updated 2023-06-08

Park Assist has different parameters depending on which part of the vehicle is approaching an obstacle.

Back

P5-1507-PAS rear — 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 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.

Note

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.

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

P5-1507-PAS front — Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.

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.

Note

The Parking Assist system is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or when P is selected on vehicles with automatic transmission.

Important

When installing auxiliary lights: Make sure these do not obscure the sensors – the auxiliary lights could be perceived as an obstacle.
