Camera view when reversing
When reverse gear is engaged, the screen shows the 360° view if it or any of the side views was the last used camera view, otherwise the rear view is shown.
Camera view for manual camera activation
Activate the parking camera with this button in the centre display. The screen then initially shows the last used camera view. But after each engine start, the previously shown side view is replaced by the 360° view.
- Illuminated button – the function is activated.
- Extinguished button – the function is deactivated.
Automatic deactivation of cameraThe front view extinguishes at 25 km/h (16 mph) to avoid distracting the driver – it reactivates automatically if the speed drops to 22 km/h (14 mph) within 1 minute, on the condition that the speed has not exceeded 50 km/h (31 mph).
Other camera views are extinguished at 15 km/h (9 mph) and not reactivated.
Symbols and messages for park assist system and park assist camera
Symbols and messages for Park Assist System and Park Assist Camera can be shown in the driver display and/or the centre display. Here are some examples.
Symbol | Message | Specification |
| If the symbol is extinguished. | The rearward parking assistance sensors are deactivated, so there are no acoustic warnings and field marks for obstacles/objects. |
| Cleaning needed Park Assist System sensors blocked | One or more of the function’s sensors are blocked – check and correct as soon as possible. |
| Park Assist System unavailable Service required | The system does not function as it should. A workshop should be contacted. |
- A text message can be cleared by briefly pressing the button, located in the centre of the steering wheel’s right-hand keypad.
- If a message remains, contact a workshop – an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Warning
- Pay additional attention while reversing when this symbol is shown if a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is mounted and electrically connected to the car.
- Extinguished symbol indicates that the parking assistance sensors rearward are switched off and warn of any obstacles.
Defective park assist camera
- If a camera sector is black it means that the camera is inoperative.
A black camera sector is also shown in the following instances, but then without the symbol for defective camera:
- open door
- open tailgate
- folded-in door mirror.
Park assist lines for park assist camera
The Park assist cameras indicate the position of the car in relation to its surroundings by displaying lines on the screen.
- Park assist lines show the intended route for the car’s external dimensions with the current steering wheel angle – this can facilitate parallel parking, reversing into tight spaces and when connecting a trailer.
- The lines on the screen are projected as if they were at ground level behind the car and respond directly to steering wheel movements, showing the driver the path the car will take – also when the car is turning.
- These park assist lines include the car’s most protruding parts, e.g. towbar, door mirrors and corners.
Note
- When reversing with a trailer which is not connected electrically to the car, the park assist lines on the display show the route the car will take – not the trailer.
- The screen shows no park assist lines when a trailer is connected electrically to the car’s electrical system.
Important
- Remember, that with the rear camera view selected, the monitor only displays the area behind the car. Be aware of the sides and front of the car when manoeuvring in reverse.
- The same applies vice versa – note what happens to the rear parts of the car when the front camera view is selected.
- Note that the park assist lines show the shortest route. Therefore, pay extra attention to the car’s sides so that they do not go against/over something when the steering wheel is turned when driving forward or that the front sweeps against/over something when the steering wheel is turned when reversing.
Park assist lines in 360° view
With the 360° view, park assist lines are shown behind, in front of and at the side of the car (depending on the direction of travel):
- When driving forwards: Front lines
- When reversing: Side lines and reversing lines
With front or rear camera selected, the park assist lines appear regardless of the car’s direction of travel.
- With one side camera selected, the park assist lines only appear when reversing.
Towbar assist line
A park assist line for the towbar’s intended trajectory can be shown and provide assistance when connecting a trailer. The function is activated in the settings for the parking camera.
Park assist lines for the towbar and the whole of the car cannot be shown at the same time.
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
- 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 low speed. 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.
- The cameras can be activated automatically or manually.
