Parking view

Accessing the parking view

In most cases, the parking view opens automatically when you need it. You can also access it by opening the camera app in the contextual bar.

When the parking view is open, you can adjust some of the assisted parking settings by pressing the settings symbol in the top-right corner of the parking view.

The parking view closes automatically when you are driving above a certain speed. After parking, the parking view closes when you turn your vehicle off.

Obstacle and distance detection

The parking view can provide both visual alerts and sound alerts if your vehicle detects any obstacles in your close surroundings.

These alerts change if you go beyond a recommended stopping point. The color of the visual indication shifts toward red, and the sound changes when you get closer to the obstacle.

Important

Driver responsibility

Obstacle and distance detection is a supplement to safe driving practices. It does not reduce the need or responsibility of the driver to operate the vehicle as safely as possible.

The driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle's surroundings and ensuring that it is safe to maneuver the vehicle.

Detection limitations

The vehicle's obstacle and distance detection capabilities have limitations. Read the separate section covering detection of vehicle surroundings and traffic before using features that rely on these capabilities.

Assisted parking faults

If your vehicle detects a fault with the assisted parking system, it will show a message in the instrument panel, the center display or in both locations. Camera malfunctions may also be communicated with messages or symbols in the parking view.

Contact an authorized Volvo workshop if you cannot address the issue yourself.

Note

Camera calibration

After your vehicle's parking cameras have been serviced, they can sometimes take a while to re-calibrate themselves. This can lead to certain features, such as parking view, being unavailable for a short time after servicing.
