Introduction

The Park Assist Camera uses the display on the

dashboard to show the area behind the car

while you are backing up.

PAC also shows guiding lines in the on-screen

image to indicate the direction that the vehicle

will take as it moves rearward, which helps

simplify parallel parking, backing into a tight

space or when attaching a trailer to the vehicle.

NOTE

PAC can only be installed on vehicles equip-

ped with the Volvo’s own navigation system

VNS.

WARNING

•

PAC is designed to be a supplementary

aid when parking the vehicle. It is not,

however, intended to replace the

driver’s attention and judgment.

•

The camera has blind spots where it

cannot detect objects or people behind

the vehicle.

•

Pay particular attention to people or ani-

mals that are close to the vehicle.

Function

The driver sees what is behind the vehicle and

if a person or animal should suddenly appear

from the side.

PAC is mounted on the tailgate, near the open-

ing handle.

The camera has built-in electronics that help

reduce the “fish-eye” effect so that the image

shown on the screen is as natural as possible.

This may cause some objects on the screen to

“lean,” which is normal.

WARNING

Objects seen on the screen may be closer

than they appear to be.

Ambient lighting conditions

The camera automatically monitors the ambi-

ent lighting conditions behind the vehicle and

constantly adjusts sensitivity to light. This may

cause the brightness and quality of the image

on the screen to vary slightly. Sensitivity to light

is increased in dark conditions or in bad

weather, which may affect image quality.

If the image on the screen seems too dark,

brightness can be increased with the thumb

wheel on the lighting panel.

NOTE

In order to function properly, the camera

lens should always be kept clean. This is

particularly important in bad weather. Keep

the lens free of dirt, ice or snow.

Using PAC

Activation

PAC is activated when the gear selector is

moved to R if the system is set to

Automatic

under Parking camera settings in the menu

system.

If the Volvo Navigation System (VNS) is in use,

PAC will automatically override the navigation

system to show the camera's image on the

screen instead of navigation information, for as

long as reverse gear is selected.

Deactivation

Move the gear selector from R to another posi-

tion. There is a slight delay in the PAC system,

which means that the view from behind the

vehicle will remain on the screen for approxi-

mately 15 seconds after the gear selector has

been moved from the R position or until the

vehicle reaches a forward speed of 6 mph

(10 km/h). The screen will then revert to the

mode that it was in before R was selected and

will, for example, display navigation system

information.
