Control module

S40/V50/C70





C30




The parking assistance module (PAM) assists the driver when parking. Information from a number of sensors allows the control module to warn of objects close to the vehicle. A sound is transmitted through the loudspeaker which is connected to the integrated audio module (IAM).
A text message is displayed in the infotainment control module (ICM) when the parking assistance system is active. The parking assistance system can be temporarily deactivated at lower speeds. This is done manually using the control on the panel for the infotainment control module (ICM).
The components which are directly connected to the parking assistance module (PAM) are:
- rear sensors
- front sensors (option).
The parking assistance module (PAM) communicates on the controller area network (CAN) with:
- central electronic module (CEM)
- driver information module (DIM)
- transmission control module (TCM)
- infotainment control module (ICM)
- trailer module (TRM) (option).

Rear parking sensors

S40/V50/C70





C30




There are 4 rear sensors in the rear bumper. The sensors are able to detect objects at a distance of 1.5 meters.
The smallest objects which can be detected are:
- tube-shaped objects with a length of at least 850 mm (33.5 in.) and a diameter of at least 85 mm (3.3 in.) (ISO standard).
The rear sensors are active when the ignition is on in position II if there is no trailer and back-up (R) gear is selected. The sensors are deactivated automatically when the gear selector lever is moved from back-up gear (R) or a trailer is electrically connected to the vehicle.

Front parking sensors (option)

S40/V50/C70





C30




There are 4 front sensors in the front bumper. The sensors detect objects within a distance of 0.8 meters.
The smallest objects which can be detected are:
- tube-shaped objects with a length of at least 850 mm (33.5 in.) and a diameter of at least 85 mm (3.3 in.) (ISO standard).
The front sensors are active when the ignition is on in position II and gear R is selected, or when the ignition is on in position II and the car is driven forwards at speeds below 10 km/h. The sensors are automatically deactivated when the car is driven forwards at above 15 km/h. On cars with automatic transmissions, the sensors are deactivated if P is selected, irrespective of speed.
