Volvo XC90: Driver support / Park Assist limitations
Park Assist (PAS1) may not be able to detect all conditions in
all situations and functionality may therefore be limited in certain cases.
The driver should be aware of the following limitations for Park Assist:
WARNING
- The parking sensors have dead/blind spots where objects cannot be
detected.
- Pay particular attention to people and animals near the vehicle.
- Bear in mind that the front end of the vehicle may swing out towards
oncoming traffic during the parking maneuver.
WARNING
Be extra cautious when reversing
if this symbol is shown when a trailer, bike carrier or similar is attached and
electrically connected to the vehicle.
The symbol indicates that the rear parking assist sensors are deactivated
and will not warn of any obstacles.
CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy poles or low obstacles may end
up in the "signal shadow" and then go temporarily undetected by the sensors – the
pulsating tone may then unexpectedly stop instead of becoming a constant tone as
expected.
The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as protruding ramps.
- In such situations, pay extra attention and maneuver/drive the vehicle
very slowly or stop the current parking maneuver – there may be a high risk
of damage to the vehicle or other objects since information from the sensors
is not always reliable in such situations.
CAUTION
In some circumstances, the Park Assist System may produce false warnings
due to external sound sources with the same ultrasonic frequencies as those the
system works with.
Examples of such sources are horns, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,
exhaust noise from motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with the vehicle electrical system,
the trailer hitch protrusion is included when the function measures the distance
to objects behind the vehicle.
