Parking assistance system




The parking assistance system serves as an aid to the driver when parking the vehicle. The control module detects objects in the vicinity of the vehicle using information from a number of sensors (7/131-134 and 7/204-207). A warning is then given in the form of an acoustic signal that is emitted from the speakers connected to the audio module (AUD) (16/105) or the integrated audio module (IAM) (16/1). This acoustic warning is regulated by the parking assistance module (PAM) sending signals to the audio module (AUD) or integrated audio module (IAM) via the Infotainment control module (ICM).
For S60 (11-) and V60 it is also possible to change the volume for the Parking assistance system via the Infotainment control module (ICM).
When the parking assistance system is active, a figure and/or text message appears in the Infotainment control module (ICM) display and an LED illuminates in a switch located on the keypad for the climate control module (CCM) panel. The system can be activated and deactivated both automatically and manually.
Rear parking assistance is active when the ignition is on, the gear selector is in reverse (R) and there is no trailer electrically connected to the vehicle. Rear parking assistance disengages automatically when the gear selector is moved from reverse (R) to any other gear position or when a trailer is electrically connected to the vehicle. Parking assistance can also be disengaged manually using the switch on the panel of the climate control module (CCM).
The following applies if the vehicle's basic setting for reactivation has been changed (which can only be done by a workshop equipped with VIDA):
- if parking assistance has been disengaged with the switch when the vehicle is driven forward at a speed of 16 km/h (10 mph) or more, parking assistance is reactivated via the switch or by moving the gear selector to reverse (R).
- if parking assistance has been disengaged with the switch when the vehicle is driven forward at a speed of 15 km/h (9.3 mph) or less, it can only be reactivated with the switch.
The sensors detect objects at a distance of about 1.5 meters (5 feet), at which time a pulsing sound is emitted from the rear speakers. In left-hand drive vehicles, the sound comes from the right rear speaker (16/5). In right-hand drive vehicles, the sound comes from the left rear speaker (16/6). The acoustic signal comes at increasingly frequent intervals as the distance to the object decreases. The signal is a constant tone at a distance of approx. 30 cm (11.8 in) or less.

Note! If the vehicle is equipped with front parking assistance, only an approved license plate and license plate holder with a size approved by Volvo may be used. The license plate and license plate holder must be mounted in accordance with Volvo's instructions for correct functionality to be guaranteed.

Front parking assistance (extra equipment) is active when the ignition is on and the gear selector is in reverse (R) or when the ignition is in on and the vehicle is stationary or is driven forward at a speed up to 15 km/h (9.3 mph). Front parking assistance disengages automatically when the vehicle is driven forward at a speed of 16 km/h (10 mph) or more. If the vehicle's basic setting is used, front parking assistance is reactivated automatically when speed drops below 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
Parking assistance can also be disengaged manually using the switch on the panel of the climate control module (CCM).
The following applies if the vehicle's basic setting for reactivation has been changed (which can only be done by a workshop equipped with VIDA):
- if parking assistance has been disengaged with the switch when the vehicle is driven forward at a speed of 16 km/h (10 mph) or more, parking assistance is reactivated via the switch or by moving the gear selector to reverse (R).
- if parking assistance has been disengaged with the switch when the vehicle is driven forward at a speed of 15 km/h (9.3 mph) or less, it can only be reactivated with the switch.
If the ignition is on and the vehicle is stationary, front parking assistance is disengaged if the parking brake is engaged. On vehicles with automatic transmission, the sensors are also disengaged (regardless of speed) if the gear selector is moved to park (P). Parking assistance can also be disengaged manually using the switch on the panel of the climate control module (CCM). The sensors detect objects at a distance of about 0.8 meters (2.6 feet), at which time a pulsing sound is emitted from the front speaker on the driver's side (16/4). The acoustic signal comes at increasingly frequent intervals as the distance to the object decreases. The signal is a constant tone at a distance of approx. 30 cm (11.8 in) or less.
The parking assistance module (PAM) transmits information on parking assistance system status (active or inactive) to the Infotainment control module (ICM) (3/281) via the CAN network. A text message appears in the Infotainment control module (ICM) display when parking assistance is active. The Infotainment control module (ICM) transmits signals to the audio module (AUD) or integrated audio module (IAM) requesting sound from the speaker.
The central electronic module (CEM) (4/56) transmits information on vehicle speed to the parking assistance module (PAM) via the CAN network.
The central electronic module (CEM) transmits information on gear selector position (vehicles with manual transmission) to the parking assistance module (PAM) via the CAN network.
The climate control module (CCM) (4/6) transmits information on switch position to the parking assistance module (PAM) via the CAN network.
The park brake module (PBM) (4/115) transmits information on parking brake status to the parking assistance module via the CAN network.
The transmission control module (TCM) (4/28) transmits information on gear selector position (vehicles with automatic transmission) to the parking assistance module (PAM) via the CAN network.
The trailer module (TRM) (4/110) (option) transmits information on trailer connection status (whether a trailer is electrically connected to the tow hitch connector) to the parking assistance module (PAM) via the CAN network.
If there is a fault in the parking assistance system, the parking assistance module (PAM) transmits a message to the driver information module (DIM) (5/1) via the CAN network. The information lamp in the driver information module (DIM) illuminates and a text message is displayed.
