Park Assist Camera limitations

The Park Assist Camera may not be able to detect all conditions in all situations and functionality may therefore be limited.

The driver should be aware of the following limitations for the Park Assist Camera:

 Warning

P5-1717-Knapp-PAC Kopplat släp

Be extra cautious when reversing if this symbol is shown when a trailer, bike carrier or similar is attached and electrically connected to the vehicle.

The symbol indicates that the rear parking assist sensors are deactivated and will not warn of any obstacles.

 Note

A bike carrier and other accessories mounted on the rear of the vehicle can obscure the camera's view.

Blind sectors

P5-1617-PAC 360-All camera-views
There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of vision.

With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles may not be detected if they are located in the "joints" where the edges of the individual camera views meet.

 Warning

Even if it seems as though only a fairly small section of the screen image is obstructed, this may mean that a relatively large sector is hidden and obstacles there may not be detected until they are very near the vehicle.

Defective camera

P5-1617-PAC 360-camera out of order

If a camera sector is dark and contains this symbol, this indicates that the camera is not functioning properly.

See the following illustration for an example.

P5-1617-PAC 360-view w defect camera
The vehicle's left-side camera is malfunctioning.

Dark camera sector

A dark camera sector may also be displayed in the following situations, but without the defective camera symbol:

  • a door is open
  • the tailgate is open
  • a rearview mirror is folded in

Lighting conditions

The camera image is automatically adjusted according to the current lighting conditions. This means that the brightness and quality of the image may vary slightly. Poor lighting conditions may result in reduced image quality.
