Volvo manufactures safe and comfortable luxury vehicles, such as the XC40, the brand's best-selling model in the UK. Across the pond, Volvo is even more popular, resulting in numerous appearances in Hollywood films, from the V70 in World War Z to the 1972 Volvo 145 in Jobs. Back in the real world, the brand has led some important safety innovations in the automotive sector - notably with the invention of seat belts, which were first used in 1959. Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin gave the patent to the world in the name of safety, allowing other manufacturers to adopt the same system.

If you're wondering, "where can I get parking sensors fitted?" you're in the right place.There are two types of parking sensors. Ultrasonic sensors emit high-frequency sound waves that bounce off objects, allowing the receiver to calculate how far away they are. Electromagnetic sensors work by creating an electromagnetic field around the vehicle and monitoring it for any disturbances. Both systems allow you to park more quickly and safely and give you greater confidence during difficult manoeuvres.The most common reasons for parking sensor failure are bad wiring, dirt and debris, and a malfunctioning sensor. A specialist technician can advise you whether you need a parking sensor repair or entirely new parking sensors fitted. Although some older cars do not come with parking sensors, most makes and models allow them to be installed. You could even install a parking sensor and camera to give you extra awareness of your surroundings.
