Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* –

introduction

The Park Assist Pilot provides assistance when
parallel parking by measuring the parking space
and turning the steering wheel.

Introduction

The off/on button shown is located on the center con-
sole

Park Assist Pilot (PAP) is a semi-automatic sys-
tem that provides assistance when parallel park-
ing by:

•

Finding a parking space and determining if it
is big enough for the vehicle

•

Helping to steer the vehicle into the parking
space

Information about the actions required of the
driver is provided in the instrument panel in the
form of symbols, images and text.

If a trailer hitch is configured in the vehicle's
electrical system, PAP will take the trailer
hitch into consideration when determining the
necessary size of a parking space.

WARNING

•

PAP does not function in all situations
and is only intended to assist the driver
when parallel parking.

•

As the driver, you have full responsibility
for parking the vehicle in a safe manner.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* – function

PAP's function is to measure the parking space
and to turn the steering wheel during the parallel
parking procedure. The driver is responsible for
following the instructions shown in the instru-
ment panel and for: shifting between R (Reverse)
and D (Drive) when required, regulating the vehi-
cle's speed, applying the brakes and stopping the
vehicle.

PAP can be activated in the following conditions:

•

When the stability or ABS systems are not
working actively

•

The vehicle is not towing a trailer

•

The vehicle's speed is below 30 mph
(50 km/h)

How PAP works

PAP helps park the vehicle by:

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* – operation

1: Searching and measuring

PAP searches for a potential parking space and
measures it to see if there is sufficient space for
your vehicle. To start this procedure:

1. Activate PAP by pressing
this button on the center con-
sole and if necessary slowing
down to a speed below 20 mph
(30 km/h).

2. Keep an eye on the instru-

ment panel and be prepared to stop the vehicle
when you are instructed by PAP to do so.

PAP normally searches for available parking
spaces along the curb on the right (passeng-
er's) side of the vehicle. However, it can also
assist in finding and parking in spaces on the
driver's side. To do so:

•

Activate the left turn signal. PAP will then
search for a parking space on the left
side of the vehicle.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

236

2: Backing into the parking space

When the vehicle is backing up, PAP will steer it
into the parking space.

1. Check that the area behind the vehicle is

clear and put the gear selector in R.

2. Back up slowly without moving the steering

wheel. The vehicle's speed must be below
approximately 4 mph 7 km/h.

3. Keep an eye on the instrument panel and be

prepared to stop the vehicle when you are
instructed by PAP to do so.

•

Release the wheel while PAP is steering
the vehicle.

•

The steering wheel must be able to turn
freely.

•

For PAP to function optimally, wait until
the steering wheel is no longer turning
before beginning the next phase of the
parking procedure.

3: Adjusting the vehicle's position

After the vehicle has backed into the parking
space, its position in the space has to be
adjusted by driving slightly forward and backing
up.

1. Put the gear selector in D, wait until the

steering wheel has turned and drive forward
slowly.

2. Stop the vehicle when you are instructed by

PAP to do so.

3. Put the gear selector in R, back up slowly

and stop when you are instructed by PAP to
do so.

When the parking procedure is finished (this will
be indicated by a text message and a graphic
image in the instrument panel) , PAP switches off
automatically. If necessary, the driver may need to
make minor adjustments to ensure that the vehi-
cle is parked correctly.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* – limitations

The PAP parking procedure will be cancelled if.

•

The vehicle's speed goes above approxi-
mately 4 mph 7 km/h

•

The driver moves the steering wheel

•

If the stability or ABS systems are activated
(e.g., if a wheel starts to spin because of a
slippery road surface

If the system has been switched off, this will be
indicated by a text message in the instrument
panel.

•

PAP will not function correctly if its sen-
sors are obstructed by dirt, snow, etc.

•

In certain situations, PAP may not be able
to measure a parking space. This could
be due to external sources of sound (e.g.,
a vehicle's horn, tires on wet asphalt,
pneumatic brakes, noise from a motorcy-
cle's exhaust, etc.) emitting ultrasound
using approximately the same frequen-
cies as PAP.

Information to keep in mind

PAP is only intended to provide parallel parking
assistance but may not be able to function fully in
all situations.

•

PAP's function is based on the way that the
vehicles 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.

•

PAP is intended to provide parking assis-
tance on straight streets, not sections of
street with curved or irregular curbs. Be sure
that your vehicle is parallel to the curb when
PAP measures the parking space.

•

PAP may not be able to provide parking
assistance on narrow streets due to lack of
space to maneuver the vehicle. In situations
like this, it may help to drive as close to the
side of the road as possible where the park-
ing space is located.

•

Use only approved tires with the correct infla-
tion pressure because this affects PAP's
capacity to provide parking assistance.
Changing to a different approved tire size
may affect PAP's parameters. Consult a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

•

Heavy rain or snow may inhibit PAP's
capacity to correctly measure a parking
space.

•

Do not use PAP if snow chains or a tempo-
rary spare tire is being used.

•

Do not use PAP if there are any objects pro-
truding from the vehicle.

WARNING

•

The front end of your vehicle may turn out
toward oncoming traffic during the park-
ing procedure.

•

Objects located above the parking sen-
sors' field of vision are not included when
PAP measures a parking space. For this
reason, PAP may turn into the parking
space too soon. Avoid parking spaces of
this type.

•

The driver is always responsible for deter-
mining if PAP has selected a suitable
parking space.

Maintenance

PAP uses the same sensors as the Park assist
system, see Park assist – limitations (p. 233)).

The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure
that they work properly. Clean them with water
and a suitable car washing detergent.

Faults in the system

If the information symbol illuminates and

Park

is shown on the

information display, this indicates that the system
is not functioning properly and has been disen-
gaged. Consult a trained and qualified Volvo serv-
ice technician.

CAUTION

In certain circumstances, the park assist sys-
tem 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.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC) –

introduction

The Park Assist Camera is designed to provide
the driver with a view of the area behind the vehi-
cle when backing up.

Introduction

PAC uses the display in the center console to
show the area behind the car while you are back-
ing up.

PAC also shows guiding lines in the on-screen
image to indicate the direction that the vehicle
will take as it moves rearward, which helps sim-
plify parallel parking, backing into a tight space or
when attaching a trailer to the vehicle.

The images of vehicles in this section are generic
and may not depict your specific model.

A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with
the vehicle's electrical system will be taken
into account when measuring the available
space behind the vehicle.

WARNING

•

PAC is designed to be a supplementary
aid when parking the vehicle. It is not,
however, intended to replace the driver’s
attention and judgment.

•

The camera has blind spots where it can-
not detect objects or people around or
near the vehicle.

•

Pay particular attention to people or ani-
mals that are close to the vehicle.

•

Objects seen on the screen may be
closer than they appear to be.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC) –

function

Function

The driver sees what is behind the vehicle and if
a person or animal should suddenly appear from
the side.

PAC is mounted on the rear of the trunk lid, near
the opening handle.

The camera has built-in electronics that help
reduce the “fish-eye” effect so that the image
shown on the screen is as natural as possible.
This may cause some objects on the screen to
“lean,” which is normal.

DRIVER SUPPORT

240

Ambient lighting conditions

The camera automatically monitors the ambient
lighting conditions behind the vehicle and con-
stantly 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.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC) – introduc-
tion (p. 239)

In order to function properly, the camera lens
should always be kept clean. This is particu-
larly important in bad weather. Keep the lens
free of dirt, ice or snow.

Guiding lines

The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were a path on the ground behind the vehicle
and are directly affected by the way in which the
steering wheel is turned. This enables the driver
to see path the vehicle will take, even if he/she
turns the steering wheel while backing up.

When backing up with a trailer, the trajectory
lines show the path that the vehicle will take,
not the trailer.

Trajectory lines will not be displayed while
zooming in.
