Park Assist front, rear and sides

~2min read

Park Assist (PAS1) behaves differently depending on which part of the vehicle is approaching an obstacle.

Front camera

Volvo XC90. Park Assist front, rear and sides

The warning signal has a continuous tone when the obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehicle.

The Park Assist system's front sensors are automatically activated when the engine is started. They are active at speeds below 10 km/h.

The monitored distance extends approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.

Rear

Volvo XC90. Park Assist front, rear and sides

The warning signal has a continuous tone when the obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehicle.

The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle begins rolling backward or if reverse gear is engaged.

The monitored distance extends approx. 1.5 meters (5 ft) behind the vehicle.

The Park Assist system's rear sensors will be automatically deactivated if the vehicle is backing up with a trailer connected to the vehicle's electrical system.

Side sensors

Volvo XC90. Park Assist front, rear and sides

The warning signal will begin pulsating rapidly when the obstacle is less than approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from the vehicle.

The Park Assist side sensors are automatically activated when the engine is started. They are active at speeds below 10 km/h.

The monitored distance is approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from the sides of the vehicle.

The detection area of the side sensors increases significantly, however, when the steering angle of the front wheel increases and depending on the position of the steering wheel, obstacles up to approx. 90 cm (3 ft) diagonally behind or in front of the vehicle can be detected.
