Parking view

The parking view contains both camera and parking sensor information to help improve your awareness of the car's surroundings. This can be useful when manoeuvring 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 centre display. The top half of the display shows an overview of your car'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 car in its surroundings using the 360 camera view, which also provides visual guidance and obstacle detection.
Parking sensor informationYour car's parking sensors can give you information about your close 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 you your estimated path. They are adjusted according to how you turn the steering wheel.

You can also enable or disable both the rear auto brake and the 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 car off.

Camera views

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

When using either of the front, sides or rear camera views the parking view can simultaneously show an overview of your car 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 visual alerts as well as sound alerts if your car detects any obstacles in your close surroundings.

These alerts change if you go beyond a recommended stopping point. The colour of the visual indication shifts towards 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 car as safely as possible.

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

Detection limitations

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

Assisted parking faults

If your car detects a fault with the assisted parking system, it will show a message in the driver display, the centre display or both of them. Camera malfunctions may also be communicated with messages or symbols in the parking view.

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

 Note

Camera calibration

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