2007 Volvo S60 Owner's Manual - Page 119

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) At a distance of approximately 1 foot (30 cm), the signal will become constant. If objects are close to both the front and rear bumpers, the signal will alternate between the front and rear speakers. Deactivating the system(s) - Press the Park assist button on the center console (see page 51) 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. Park assist will be automatically reactivated the next time the engine is started. 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. pg. 139 Starting and driving Front/rear park assist (option/accessory) Faults in the system If the yellow warning symbol illuminates and a message is shown in the information display, the system is not functioning properly. Consult a Volvo retailer or authorized service technician. 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. WARNING! These systems are designed to be a supplementary aid when parking the vehicle. They are not, however, intended to replace the driver's attention and judgement. CAUTION! In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning signals that can be caused by external sound sources that use the same ultrasound frequencies as the system. This may include such things as the horns of other vehicles, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This does not indicate a fault in the system. pg. 140 Starting and driving This page left intentionally blank.
