Park Assist Pilot (PAP

117

) can help the driver

maneuver the vehicle when parking. The
function can also assist with steering when
pulling out from a parallel parking space.

The function first checks whether there is suf-
ficient space and then helps the driver steer
the vehicle into the space.

The center display uses symbols, graphics and
messages to inform the driver of what steps
need to be taken and when.

WARNING

•

The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and help make it safer – it cannot han-
dle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions.

•

•

Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgment. The driver is always respon-
sible for ensuring the vehicle is driven
in a safe manner, at the appropriate
speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.

The function helps park the vehicle using the
following steps:

1. The system searches for and measures

potential parking spaces.

2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing

into the parking space.

3. The vehicle's position in the space is

adjusted by driving forward/backward.

The 

Park Out

 function can also help the driver

pull out of parking spaces.

Perpendicular parking

Perpendicular parking overview.

The function helps park the vehicle using the
following steps:

1. The system searches for and measures

potential parking spaces.

2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing

into the space and its position is adjusted
by driving forward/backward.

NOTE

Leaving a parking space with the 

Park Out

function should only be used in connection
with parallel parking – it does not work for
perpendicular parking.

park using three different steps. The function
can also help the driver pull out of a parking
space.

The function measures the space and steers
the vehicle. The driver's role is to:

•

keep close watch of the area around the
vehicle

•

follow the instructions on the center dis-
play

•

change gears (reverse/forward) – an audi-
ble signal indicates when the driver needs
to change gears

•

regulating and maintaining a safe speed

•

applying the brakes and stopping the vehi-
cle.

Information about the actions required by the
driver are provided in the center display using
symbols, graphics and/or text.

The function can be activated if the following
criteria have been met after the engine is
started:

•

No trailer is hitched to the vehicle

•

Your vehicle's speed is lower than
30 km/h (20 mph).

NOTE

The distance between the vehicle and
parking spots should be 0.5–1.5 meters
(1.6–5.0 ft) when the function is looking
for parking.

Parking with Park Assist Pilot

The function helps park the vehicle using the
following steps:

1. The system searches for and measures

potential parking spaces.

2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing

into the parking space.

3. The vehicle is positioned in the parking

space (the driver may be prompted to shift
gears and apply the brakes).

Leaving a parallel parking space

with Park Assist Pilot

*

The 

Park Out

 function can help the driver to

pull out of a parking space when the vehicle
is parallel-parked.

NOTE

Leaving a parking space with the 

Park Out

function should only be used in connection
with parallel parking – it does not work for
perpendicular parking.

The 

Park Out

 function is acti-

vated in the center display's
Function view or in Camera
view.

•

GREEN button indicator light – the func-
tion is activated.

•

GRAY button indicator light – the function
is deactivated.

1. Tap 

Park Out

 in Function view or in Cam-

era view.

2. Move the gear selector to the suitable

position (e.g. D or R) for the direction in
which you will be pulling out of the park-
ing space.

3. Be prepared to stop the vehicle when

instructed to do so by a graphic and mes-
sage in the center display. Follow the
instructions in the same way as for the
parking procedure.

Note that the steering wheel can "spring"
back when the procedure is completed and
the driver may need to turn the steering wheel
back to the maximum position in order to pull
out of the parking space.

If the function determines that the driver can
pull out of the parking space without any extra
maneuvers, the function will be deactivated,
even if it seems as though the vehicle is not
completely out of the parking space.

 limitations 

Park Assist Pilot (PAP

121

) may not be able to

detect all conditions in all situations and func-
tionality may therefore be limited.

The driver should be aware of the following
limitations for Park Assist Pilot.

WARNING

•

The parking sensors have dead/blind
spots where objects cannot be
detected.

•

Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.

•

Bear in mind that the front end of the
vehicle may swing out towards oncom-
ing traffic during the parking maneuver.

CAUTION

Objects situated higher than the detection
area of the sensors are not included when
the parking maneuver is calculated, which
could cause the function to swing into the
parking space too early. Such parking
spaces should be avoided for this reason.

383

The parking sequence is cancelled

A parking sequence will be cancelled if:

•

the driver moves the steering wheel

•

the vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h
(4 mph)

•

the driver taps 

Cancel

 in the center dis-

play

•

when the anti-lock brakes or the Elec-
tronic stability control are engaged - e.g.
when a wheel loses grip on a slippery road

•

when speed-dependent power steering
wheel resistance is working at reduced
power – e.g. during cooling due to over-
heating

A message in the center display will explain
why the parking sequence was cancelled.

CAUTION

Under certain circumstances, the function
may not be able to find parking spaces –
one reason may be that the sensors are
disrupted by external sound sources that
emit the same ultrasonic frequencies that
the system works with.

Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,
exhaust noise from motorcycles, etc.

NOTE

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
reduce their function and can make meas-
urement impossible.

Driver responsibility

The driver should keep in mind that the func-
tion is a parking aid 

‒ 

not an infallible fully

automatic system. The driver must always be
prepared to take control and cancel a parking
sequence if necessary.

There are a number of things to keep in mind
when parking, including:

•

The driver is always responsible for deter-
mining if the space suggested by the func-
tion is suitable for parking.

•

Do not use the function when using snow
chains or a temporary spare tire.

•

Do not use the function if there are any
objects protruding from the vehicle.

•

Heavy rain or snowfall may inhibit PAP's
ability to accurately measure a parking
space.

•

While searching and measuring the park-
ing space, the function may be unable to
detect objects located far into the space.

•

PAP may not suggest parking spaces on
narrow streets if it does not detect suffi-
cient space for maneuvering the vehicle.

•

Use approved tires

122

 inflated to the cor-

rect tire pressure because this affects the
function's ability to provide parking assis-
tance.

•

The function is based on the way the vehi-
cles are parked behind and in front of your
parking space. If they are, for example,
parked too close to the curb, there is a risk
that your vehicle's tires or wheel rims
could be damaged by the curb during the
parking procedure.

•

Perpendicular parking spaces may not be
detected or may be suggested unneces-
sarily if a parked vehicle is sticking out
more than other parked vehicles.

•

The function is intended to provide park-
ing assistance on straight streets, not sec-
tions of street with sharp curves or bends.
Always make sure that your vehicle is par-
allel to relevant parking spaces when the
function is measuring the parking space.

Camera/radar sensor limitations

The camera and radar sensor used by several
of the driver support functions has certain
limitations, which also affect the functions
using the camera and radar sensor. The driver
should be aware of the following limitations:

DRIVER SUPPORT

}}

389

Common camera and radar limitations

Obstructed camera

The area marked in the illustration must be cleaned

regularly and kept free of decals, objects, solar film,

etc.

The camera is located on the upper interior
section of the windshield along with the radar
sensor.

Do not place, affix or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windshield, or in front
of or around the camera and radar sensor –
this could disrupt camera and radar-based
functions. It could cause functions to be
reduced, deactivated completely or to produce
an incorrect function response.

High temperatures

If the temperature in the passenger compart-
ment is very high, the camera/radar sensor

will switch off temporarily for
approx. 15 minutes after the engine is started
to protect its electronic components. When
the temperature has cooled sufficiently, the
camera/radar sensor will automatically restart.

Damaged windshield

NOTE

Failure to take action could result in
reduced performance for the driver support
systems that use the camera and radar
unit. It could cause functions to be
reduced, deactivated completely or to pro-
duce an incorrect function response.

To avoid the risk of malfunction of the driver
support systems that use the radar sensor, the
following also apply:

•

If there are cracks, scratches or stone
chips on the windshield in front of any of
the camera and radar sensor "windows"
and this covers an area of
about 0.5 × 3.0 mm (0.02 × 0.12 in.) or
more, contact a workshop to have the
windshield replaced

126

.

•

Volvo advises 

against

 repairing cracks,

scratches or stone chips in the area in
front of the camera and radar sensor – the

entire windshield should instead be
replaced.

•

Before replacing the windshield, contact a
workshop

126

 to verify that the right wind-

shield has been ordered and installed.

•

The same type of windshield wipers or
wipers approved by Volvo should be used
for replacement.

•

If the windshield is replaced, the camera
and radar sensor must be recalibrated by a
workshop

126

 to help ensure proper func-

tioning of all of the vehicle's camera and
radar-based systems.

Additional radar limitations

Vehicle speed

The radar sensor's ability to detect a vehicle
ahead is significantly reduced if the speed of
the vehicle ahead differs greatly from your
vehicle's speed.

126

An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

390

Limited field of vision

The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In
some situations, it may detect a vehicle later
than expected or not at all.

The radar sensor's field of vision

The radar sensor's detection of vehicles
very close to your vehicle may be delayed
in certain situations, e.g. if a vehicle pulls

in between your vehicle and the vehicle
directly ahead.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles that are not driving in the center
of the lane may remain undetected.
In curves, the radar may detect the a dif-
ferent vehicle than intended or lose sight
of a target vehicle.

Low trailers

Low trailer in the radar shadow

Low trailers may also be difficult or even
impossible for the radar to detect. The driver
should be extra alert when driving behind vehi-
cles towing low trailers when Adaptive Cruise
Control

*

 or Pilot Assist

*

 is activated.

Additional camera limitations

Reduced visibility

Cameras have the same limitations as the
human eye. In other words, their “vision" is
impaired by adverse weather conditions such
as heavy snowfall/rain, dense fog, swirling

dust/snow, etc. These conditions may reduce
the function of systems that depend on the
camera or cause these systems to temporarily
stop functioning.

Strong sunlight, reflections from the road sur-
face, ice or snow covering the road, a dirty
road surface, or unclear lane marker lines may
drastically reduce the camera’s ability to
detect the side of a lane, a pedestrian, a
cyclist, a large animal or another vehicle.
