Driver support -> Park Assist for your Volvo XC40 2018-2026
DRIVER SUPPORT
The side sectors change colour as the distance
between the car and an object is reduced.
Park Assist*
The Parking Assistance System (PAS108) uses
sensors to assist the driver when manoeu-
vring in tight spaces by indicating the dis-
tance to obstacles through acoustic signals
combined with a graphic in the centre dis-
play.
Except in the sector nearest to the car
symbol, audible warnings are only given for
objects directly in the path of the car.
The shorter the distance to the obstacle, the
faster the signal sounds. Other sound from the
audio system is muted automatically.
The acoustic signal for obstacles ahead and to
the sides is active when the car is moving but
stops after the car has been stationary for
approx. 2 seconds. The acoustic signal for
obstacles behind is also active when the car is
stationary.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
•
•
At a distance within approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from
an obstacle behind or in front of the car, the
tone is constant and the active sensor field
closest to the car symbol is filled.
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
At a distance within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft)
from an obstacle To the sides, the tone pulses
intensively and the active sector field changes
colour from ORANGE to RED.

tors.
Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.
•
The volume of the parking assistance signal
can be adjusted while the signal is sounding
by means of the [>II] knob on the centre con-
sole. Adjustment can also be performed in the
top view's Settings menu option.
The centre display shows an overview of the
relationship between the car and detected
obstacles.
The highlighted sector indicates the location
of the obstacle. The closer the car symbol is to
a highlighted sector box at the front/back, the
shorter the distance between the car and
detected obstacle.

Parking assistance is deactivated when the
parking brake is used or P mode is
selected in a car with an automatic gear-
box.
Parking Assistance System (PAS109) has dif-
ferent behaviour depending on which part of
the car is approaching an obstacle.

Forwards
When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Remember
that these must not obscure the sensors -
the auxiliary lamps may then be perceived
as an obstacle.
Backwards
The warning signal has a constant tone at less than
approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from an obstacle.
The Parking Assistance System's front detec-
tors are activated automatically when the
engine is started. They are active at speeds
below 10 km/h (6 mph).
The measuring range is approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft)
in front of the car.
The warning signal has a constant tone at less than
approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from an obstacle.

The sensors for reverse are activated if the car
rolls backward without a gear engaged or
when the gear lever is moved to reverse posi-
tion.
Along the sides
Activating or deactivating the
parking assistance system*
The Parking Assistance System (PAS110) can
be activated or deactivated.
The front and side parking assistance detec-
tors are activated automatically when the
engine is started. The rear detectors are acti-
vated if the car rolls backwards or when
reverse gear is engaged.
The measuring range is approx. 1.5 metres
(5 ft) behind the car.
When reversing with a trailer connected to the
car's electrical system, parking assistance
backward is deactivated automatically.
Activate or deactivate the
function using this button in
the centre display's function
view.
When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike
carrier on the towbar - without Volvo genu-
ine trailer wiring - parking assistance may
need to be switched off manually in order
that the sensors do not react to them.
The warning signal pulses intensively at less than
approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from an obstacle.
Parking assistance side sensors are activated
automatically when the engine is started. They
are active at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph).
GREEN button indication – the function is
activated.

•
GREY button indication – the function is
deactivated.
The measuring range is approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft)
from the sides.
In cars equipped with a park assist camera*,
Park Assist Pilot can also be activated or deac-
tivated from the relevant camera view.
However, the detection range of the side sen-
sors increases significantly when the steering
angle of the front wheels is increased, and
obstacles of up to approx. 90 cm (3 ft) located
diagonally behind or in front of the vehicle are
detected when the steering wheel is turned.

Limitations of Parking assistance
WARNING
The Parking Assistance System (PAS111) can-
not detect everything in all situations and
may therefore have limited functionality in
some cases.
Pay additional attention
while reversing when this
symbol is shown if a
trailer, bicycle rack or sim-
ilar is mounted and electri-
cally connected to the car.
Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or
low barriers may be in the "signal shadow"
and are then temporarily not detected by
the sensors - the pulsating tone may then
unexpectedly stop instead of changing
over to the expected constant tone.
A driver should be aware about the following
examples of Park Assist Pilot's limitations:
The symbol indicates that
The sensors cannot detect high objects,
such as projecting loading docks.
the parking assistance sensors rearward
are switched off and will not warn of any
obstacles.
WARNING
The parking sensors have blind spots
where obstacles cannot be detected.
•
•
•
In such situations, pay extra attention
and manoeuvre/reposition the car par-
ticularly slowly or stop the current
parking manoeuvre - there may be a
high risk of damage to vehicles or
other objects since information from
the sensors is not always reliable in
such situations.
•
Pay particular attention if there are
people and animals near the car.
Bear in mind that the front of the car
may swing out towards oncoming traf-
fic during the parking manoeuvre.

DRIVER SUPPORT
In certain conditions the parking assistance
system may produce incorrect warning
signals that are caused by external sound
sources with the same ultrasonic frequen-
cies that the system works with.
Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,
exhaust noises from motorcycles, etc.
Since a towbar is configured with the car's
electrical system, towbar protrusion is
included when the function measures the
distance to an object behind the car.
