2006 VOLVO V70
Rear: when the engine is running and reverse gear is selected.
NOTE:
● If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will either be activated or
deactivated together. They cannot be used separately.
● The indicator light in the button (see the illustration on page 31) will light up to indicate that park
assist system(s) are activated.
When park assist is actively working:
1. The audio system's volume will be reduced.
2. An intermittent signal will be audible from the speakers to indicate that you are approaching a person,
object, parked vehicle, etc.
The signals begin when the distance between the bumper and the object is:
Rear: approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters)
Front: approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 meters)
3. At a distance of approximately 1 foot (30 cm), the signal will become constant.
Deactivating the system(s)
● Press the Park assist button on the center console (see page 33) to temporarily deactivate the system
(s).
● The indicator light in the button will go out when the system(s) have been deactivated.
● If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will be deactivated by pressing
the button.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to deactivate one or both of the park assist systems in certain cases.
● Rear park assist: towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier, etc, could trigger the
rear park assist system's sensors.
● Front park assist: it may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since
these lights could trigger the system's sensors.
Faults in the system
If a fault should occur in the system, the LED in the button will be switched off and a message will be
displayed in the text window.
Cleaning the sensors
For the system to function properly, the sensors in the front and/or rear bumpers should be kept clean.
They can be cleaned with car washing detergent and a sponge.
