Park assist camera locations and surveillance areas*

The Park Assist cameras can show rear, front, left or right camera view individually. You can also have a composite 360° view that shows all sides.

360° view*

P5-1617-Park Assist Camera 360, all camera views
Example of "field of vision" for 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 display, 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. Tap on the screen to show the camera symbols and select the desired view. The camera symbols will disappear after a short time without the screen being touched.

P5+6-1746 - Park Assist Camera, camera active

A camera symbol on the centre display's car symbol indicates which of the cameras is active.

If the car is also equipped with Park Assist System* then distance to detected obstacles is illustrated with fields in different colours.

The cameras can be activated automatically or manually.

Backwards

P6-21w24-XC40/XC40H/XC40BEV-ParkingCam-Rear
The backwards-facing camera is fitted above the registration 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 towbar in some cases.

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

Forwards

P6-21w24-XC40/XC40H/XC40BEV-ParkingCam-Front
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 driving out of a garage. 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 camera has been extinguished, the camera is reactivated.

The sides

P6-21w24-XC40/XC40H/XC40BEV-ParkingCam-Side
The side cameras are positioned in each door mirror.

The side cameras can show what is along each side of the car.
