Ambient lighting conditions

Ambient lighting conditions  - Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC) - Comfort and driving pleasure - Volvo XC60 Owners Manual - Volvo XC60

The camera automatically monitors the ambient 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.
