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.
Parking view
The parking view contains the following features:
Rear camera viewA camera in the back can provide an overview of what the surroundings look like in your reversing path. The rear camera view is shown in the bottom half of the centre display.
Parking sensor viewThe parking sensor view gives you an overview of your car's parking sensors and is shown in the top half of the centre display. You can get both visual and sound alerts if you are getting too close to an obstacle while driving slowly or reversing.
Assisted parking linesThe rear camera view can display lines showing you your estimated reversing 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.

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.

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 camera has been serviced, it can sometimes take a while to re-calibrate itself. This can lead to certain features, such as the parking view, being unavailable for a short time after servicing.
