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.
NOTE
•
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

front and rear bumpers
PAP uses the same sensors as the Park assist
system, see Park assist – limitations (p. 234)).
