Parking view

The parking view contains both camera and parking sensor information to help improve your awareness of the vehicle's surroundings. This can be useful when maneuvering at low speeds, such as when parking.
Rear parking camera view
The parking view can display two views at the same time. The image shows an example of what it can look like after selecting the rear camera view, which is shown in the bottom half of the center display. The top half of the display shows an overview of your vehicle's surroundings.
The parking view contains the following features:
Multiple camera viewsSelecting a camera view allows you to look at the surroundings in a specific direction. This can provide you with a detailed view in your selected direction.
360 camera viewYou can get an overview of your vehicle in its surroundings using the 360 camera view, which also provides visual guidance and obstacle detection.
Parking sensor informationYour vehicle's parking sensors can give you information about the nearby surroundings. You can get both visual and sound alerts if you are getting too close to an obstacle.
Assisted parking linesDifferent camera views can display lines showing your estimated path. They are adjusted according to how you turn the steering wheel.

You can also enable or disable both rear auto brake and sound alerts from the parking sensors in the 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 or in the app library .

Camera app icon

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.

Camera views

There are several camera views to choose from in the parking view:
FrontA camera at the very front of the vehicle provides the front view.
SidesCameras on the door mirrors can provide side camera views to your left or right.
360Opens the 360-view in full screen. The vehicle combines front, rear and side camera views to show the vehicle in its surroundings.
RearA camera at the back of the vehicle provides the rear view.

When using either of the front, side or rear camera views, the parking view can simultaneously show an overview of your vehicle in its surroundings. How this looks in the display changes depending on which camera view is selected.

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.
