Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
where the car's rear wheels will roll with the
current steering wheel angle, this facilitates
tight parking, reversing into tight spaces and
for hitching a trailer. The car’s approximate
external dimensions are illustrated by means
of two dashed lines. These help lines can be
switched off in the settings menu.
If the car is also equipped with parking assis-
tance sensors* then their information is dis-
played graphically as coloured fields in order
to illustrate the distance to detected obsta-
cles, see Park assist syst* - function (p. 245).
The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after
reverse gear has been disengaged or until the
car's speed exceeds 10 km/h forward or
35 km/h backward.
Camera location next to the opening handle.
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 condi-
tions can result in a slightly reduced image
quality.
NOTE
Keep the camera lens clear of dirt, snow
and ice to ensure optimum 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 move-
ment, which shows the driver the path the car
will take when it turns.
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
Remember that the display only shows the
area behind the car - so pay attention to
the sides and front of the car when turning
the steering while reversing.
