* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
where the car's rear wheels will roll with the
current steering wheel angle - this facilitates
parallel parking, reversing into tight spaces
and for hitching a trailer. The car's approxi-
mate external dimensions are illustrated by
means of dashed lines. The park assist lines
can be deactivated - see section Settings
(p. 247).
If the car is also equipped with Parking assis-
tance sensors * (p. 241) then their information
is shown graphically as coloured areas in
order to illustrate the distance to detected
obstacles, see heading "Cars with reversing
sensors" later in the text.
The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after
reverse gear has been disengaged or until the
car's speed exceeds 10 km/h forward or
35 km/h backward.
Light conditions
The camera image is adjusted automatically
according to prevailing light conditions.
Because of this, the image may vary slightly
in brightness and quality. Poor light condi-
tions can result in a slightly reduced image
quality.
NOTE
Keep the camera lens clear of dirt, snow
and ice to ensure optimum function. This
is particularly important in poor light.
Park assist lines
Examples of how the park assist lines can be dis-
played for the driver.
The lines on the screen are projected as if
they were at ground level behind the car and
are directly related to steering wheel move-
ment, which shows the driver the path the car
will then take - also when the car is turning.
NOTE
When reversing with a trailer which is
not connected electrically to the car,
the lines on the display show the route
the car will take - not the trailer.
The screen shows no lines when a
trailer is connected electrically to the
car's electrical system.
The parking camera is deactivated
automatically when towing a trailer if a
Volvo genuine trailer cable is used.
IMPORTANT
Remember that the display only shows the
area behind the car - so pay attention to
the sides and front of the car when turning
the steering while reversing.
Boundary lines
Different lines in the system.
Boundary line, free reversing zone
"Wheel tracks"
The dashed line (1) frames in a zone up to
about 1.5 m back from the bumper. It is also
the limit of the car's most protruding parts,
such as door mirrors and corners - also when
the car is turning.
The wide "wheel tracks" (2) between the side
lines indicate where the wheels will roll and
can extend about 3.2 m back from the
bumper if no obstacle is in the way.
