Park assist camera*
The camera image is shown on the centre console's screen.
Note
Warning
- The parking camera serves as an aid. It does not relieve the driver of responsibility when reversing.
- The camera has blind spots, where obstacles cannot be detected.
- Be aware of people and animals in the vicinity of the car.
Function and operation
The camera shows what is behind the car and if something appears from the sides.
The camera shows a wide area behind the car and part of the bumper and any towbar.
Objects on the screen may appear to tilt slightly - this is normal.
Note
If another view is active then the parking camera system takes over automatically and its camera image is displayed on the screen.
When reverse gear is selected, unbroken lines are shown graphically which illustrate where the car's approximate external dimensions will be positioned with the current steering wheel angle - this facilitates parallel parking, reversing into tight spaces and for hitching a trailer. The park assist lines can be deactivated - see section Settings .
If the car is also equipped with Parking assistance sensors * then their information is shown graphically as coloured areas in order to illustrate distances to detected obstacles, see heading "Cars with reversing sensors" later in the text.
The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after reverse gear has been disengaged or until the car's speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph) forward or 35 km/h (22 mph) backward.
Light conditions
The camera image is adjusted automatically according to prevailing light conditions. Because of this, the image may vary slightly in brightness and quality. Poor light conditions can result in a slightly reduced image quality.
Note
Park assist lines
The lines on the screen are projected as if they were at ground level behind the car and are directly related to steering wheel movement, which shows the driver the path the car will then take - also when the car is turning.
Note
- When reversing with a trailer which is not connected electrically to the car, the lines on the display show the route the car will take - not the trailer.
- The screen shows no lines when a trailer is connected electrically to the car's electrical system.
- The parking camera is deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if a Volvo genuine trailer cable is used.
Important
Boundary lines
 | Boundary line, 30 cm zone backwards from the car |
 | Boundary line, free reversing zone |
The red line (1) frames in a zone approx. 30 cm back from the bumper.
The yellow horizontal line (2) frames in a zone up to approx. 1.5 m behind the bumper.
The yellow side lines end approx. 2.0 m behind the bumper.
The boundary lines include the car's most protruding parts, e.g. door mirrors and corners - also when the car is turning.
Cars with reversing sensors*
If the car is also equipped with Parking assistance the distance is shown with coloured fields for each sensor that registers an obstacle.
The colour of the areas changes with decreasing distance to the obstacle - from green to yellow to red.
| Colour / paint | Distance (metres) |
|---|---|
| Green | 0,8-1,5 |
| Yellow | 0,4–0,8 |
| Red | 0–0,4 |
