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
Keep camera lenses clear of dirt, snow and
ice to ensure the best possible function.
This is particularly important in poor light.
Park assist lines
Examples of how the park assist lines can be dis-
played for the driver.
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
take, even when 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
Bear in mind that the screen only shows the
area behind the car - pay attention to the
sides and front of the car when manoeuvring
during reversing.
Boundary lines
The system's lines.
Boundary line, 30 cm zone backwards
from the car
Boundary line, free reversing zone
"Wheel tracks"
The unbroken line (1) frames in a zone that is
within about 30 cm from the bumper.
The dashed line (2) frames in a zone up to
about 1.5 m back from the bumper. It is also
the limit of the car's most protruding parts,
such as door mirrors and corners - also during
turning.
The wide "wheel tracks" (3) between the side
lines indicate where the wheels will roll and can
extend about 3.2 m back from the bumper if no
obstacle is in the way.
