Auto braking reverse

[Paul-C]

My, new to me, xc60 B5P MY 23 ultimate has on two occasions caused me to think I have reversed into a brick wall.
On both occasions I was reversing into a parking space spending time looking all round the car (not got used to the cameras, although they are clever I don’t trust them yet) and next thing I know is the car stops dead.
After checking for broken lamp posts etc there’s a message looking at me saying auto brakes operated.
I cannot find the write up on the issue on the Volvo app so any info appreciated
Thanks
PS
Cars going into workshop, problem with some software causing a loud screeching noise coming over the speakers that’s also taking out the bliss and radar alarms
Do you remember the days when you could understand how cars worked!

I've no idea about the braking but I had the screeching speakers off and on for a bit. It hasn't done it for a couple of years so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's fixed itself.

The workshop know what the problem is their changing a “unit” next week
My issue was three times in a week, thought it as going through a breakers yard!!

I’ve been caught out on the odd occasion with Auto Braking, very disconcerting. I’ve had it reversing into a parking space, it has detected movement behind the space, can be sensitive and picked up cars moving 10/20 feet away. Same for pedestrians on a pavement.
It’s more sensitive on the 24my than my previous 2020 XC60. you were able to adjust sensitivity on the 2020 car, but not on the 24my.

Simon, can you disable it?
its disconcerting when it happens, but yesterday when it happened there was a queue of traffic waiting whilst I reversed and of course when it happens you have to get out and have a look around, god knows what the drivers watching think when your looking around what is uninterrupted space stopping them from moving!!

[Simon703]

Yes. It is possible to deactivate;

Does the auto-brake still activate if you are applying slight pressure on the brake pedal whilst reversing?

I cannot understand anyone wishing to disable this feature. It works both in reverse and forward motion and the distance at which it works afaics somewhat depends on speed. It often activates when I am turning my car on my drive. Usually at low speed it leaves less than a foot clearance to the wall or hedge.
Unfortunately a fault developed in this system resulting in a service required notification about an hour before a very low speed collision with the back of an HGV. (See my recent threads for details).

I am disabling it every time I am reversing as I have had several near-heart-attack monent with it. It’s extremely sensitive. Once I wanted to back up on a steep incline and the system felt I am backing into a wall and smashed the brakes made me thinking I backed into something. I am also parking in a tight space in my garden and the system doesn’t allow me, so I have to turn it off everytime I am coming home.

The 360 degree camera is much better.

I find the auto brake and 360 camera pretty well agree. I have also reversed many a time on a steep incline and have not experienced your problem. Is this due to the position of the sensors which maybe set higher on my XC than your VCC.
