•

Remember, that with the rear camera
view selected, the monitor only displays
the area behind the car. Be aware of the
sides and front of the car when manoeu-
vring in reverse.

•

The same applies vice versa - note what
happens to the rear parts of the car when
the front camera view is selected.

•

Note that the park assist lines show the
shortest route. Therefore, pay extra
attention to the car's sides so that they
do not go against/over something when
the steering wheel is turned when driving
forward or that the front sweeps against/
over something when the steering wheel
is turned when reversing.

Park assist lines in 360° view

360° view with park assist lines

With the 360° view, park assist lines are shown
behind, in front of and at the side of the car
(depending on the direction of travel):

•

When driving forwards: Front lines

•

When reversing: Side lines and reversing
lines.

With front or rear camera selected, the park
assist lines appear regardless of the car's direc-
tion of travel.

With one side camera selected, the park assist
lines only appear when reversing.

Starting the Park assist camera

The park assist camera starts automatically
when reverse gear is engaged or manually with
one of the centre display's function buttons.

Camera view when reversing

When reverse gear is engaged, the screen shows
the 360° view if it or any of the side views was
the last used camera view, otherwise the rear
view is shown.

Camera view for manual camera start

Start the parking camera with
this button in the centre dis-
play's function view.

The screen initially shows the last used camera
view. However, after each engine start, the previ-
ously shown side view is replaced by the 360°
view and the previously shown zoomed rear view
is replaced by the rear view.

Automatic deactivation of camera

The front view extinguishes at 25 km/h (16 mph)
to avoid distracting the driver - it reactivates auto-
matically if the speed drops to 22 km/h (14 mph)
within 1 minute, on the condition that the speed
has not exceeded 50 km/h (31 mph).

The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

Limitations for park assist camera

The park assist camera cannot detect everything
in all situations and may therefore have limited
functionality.

A driver should be aware about the following
examples of the park assist camera's limitations:

WARNING

Pay additional attention

while reversing when this

symbol is shown if a trailer,

bicycle rack or similar is

mounted and electrically

connected to the car.
The symbol indicates that

the parking assistance sensors rearward are

switched off and will not warn of any obsta-

cles.

NOTE

A bike carrier or other accessory mounted on
the rear of the car could obscure the cam-
era's view.

Blind sectors

Pay attention to the possibility that, even if it only
looks like a relatively small part of the image is
obscured, it could be a relatively large sector that
is hidden from view. Obstacles could thereby go

undetected until the car is very close to the
obstacle.

There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of

vision.

In 360° view obstacles/objects can “vanish” in
the gaps between the individual cameras.

Defective camera

If a camera sector is black and
contains this symbol then it
means that the camera is out
of order. The following illustra-
tion shows an example.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

399

The car's left-hand camera is out of order.

Black camera sector

A black camera sector is also shown in the fol-
lowing instances, but then without the symbol for
defective camera:

•

open door

•

open tailgate

•

folded-in door mirror.

Light conditions

The camera image is adjusted automatically
according to prevailing light conditions. Because
of this, the image may vary slightly in brightness
and quality. Poor light conditions can result in
reduced image quality.

Maintenance

Clean camera lenses regularly with lukewarm
water and car shampoo - be careful not to
scratch the lenses.

NOTE

Keep the camera lens clear of dirt, snow and
ice to ensure optimum function. This is partic-
ularly important in poor light.

Park Assist Pilot

Park Assist Pilot (PAP

) helps the driver to park

in or leave a parking space.

PAP checks first if a space is sufficiently big and
thereafter helps the driver to turn the steering
wheel and manoeuvre the car into the space.

The centre display indicates with symbols, graph-
ics and text the various operations to be carried
out and when to do so.

WARNING

•

The PAP function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving and
make it safer – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.

•

Be particularly aware of people and ani-
mals near the car.

•

PAP is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgement. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appropri-
ate speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.

NOTE

The PAP function measures the space and
steers the car - the driver's task is to:

•

keep a close watch around the car

•

follow the instructions in the centre dis-
play

•

select gear (reverse/forward) - a "ping"
sound indicates when the driver should
change gear

•

control and maintain a safe speed

•

brake and stop.

Types of parking situations

PAP can be used for the following different park-
ing situations.

Parallel parking

The principal of parallel parking.

The PAP function parks the car using the follow-
ing steps:

1. A parking space is identified and measured.
2. The car is reversed into the space.
3. The car is positioned in the space by means

of driving forward/backward.

Using the

Park Out

function, a parallel-parked

car can also be assisted by PAP to leave the
parking space - see the heading "Leaving a park-
ing space" in the section "Parking with Park
Assist Pilot".

* Option/accessory.

403

Perpendicular parking

Principle for perpendicular parking.

The PAP function parks the car using the follow-
ing steps:

1. A parking space is identified and measured.
2. The car is reversed into the space and then

positioned in the space by means of driving
forward/backward.

NOTE

A perpendicular-parked car cannot be assis-
ted by the PAP

Park Out

function to leave a

parking space - the function must only be
used for a parallel-parked car.

Parking with Park Assist Pilot

Park Assist Pilot (PAP

) helps the driver park

via three steps. The function can also help the
driver to leave a parking space.

NOTE

The PAP function measures the space and
steers the car - the driver's task is to:

•

keep a close watch around the car

•

follow the instructions in the centre dis-
play

•

select gear (reverse/forward) - a "ping"
sound indicates when the driver should
change gear

•

control and maintain a safe speed

•

brake and stop.

Symbols, graphics and/or text appear on the cen-
tre display's screen when the different steps are
to be performed.

PAP can be activated if the following criteria are
met once the engine has been started:

•

No trailer is attached to the car

•

Speed must be lower than 30 km/h
(20 mph).

DRIVER SUPPORT

404

NOTE

The distance between the car and parking
spaces should be 0.5-1.5 metres (1.6-5.0 ft)
while PAP is searching for a parking space.

Parking

PAP parks the car using the following steps:

1. A parking space is identified and measured.
2. The car is reversed into the space.
3. The car is positioned into the space - the

system may then request that the driver
changes gear.

Finding and measuring parking spaces

The function can be activated
in the centre display's function
view.

It can also be accessed from
the camera views.

Principle for parallel parking.

Principle for perpendicular parking.

Proceed as follows:

1. Drive no faster than 30 km/h (20 mph) for

parallel parking or 20 km/h (12 mph) for
perpendicular parking.

2. Tap on the

Park In

button in function view.

> PAP searches for a parking space and

checks whether it is big enough.

3. Be prepared to stop the car when the

graphic and message on the centre display
state that a suitable parking space has been
found.
> A pop-up window is shown.

4. Select

Parallel parking

Perpendicular

parking

and select reverse gear.

NOTE

PAP searches the area for parking, displays
instructions and guides the car in on its pas-
senger side. But if required the car can also
be parked on the driver's side of the street:

•

Activate the direction indicator to the
driver's side - then the system searches
for a parking space on that side of the
car instead.

Reversing in to the parking space

Parallel.

Perpendicular.

Perform the following to reverse the car into the
parking space:

1. Check that the area behind the car is clear,

then engage reverse gear.

2. Reverse slowly and carefully without touching

the steering wheel - and no faster than
7 km/h (4 mph).

3. Be prepared to stop the car when instructed

by the graphic and message on the centre
display.

NOTE

•

Keep your hands away from the steering
wheel when the PAP function is acti-
vated.

•

Make sure that the steering wheel is not
hindered in any way and can rotate freely.

•

To achieve optimum results - wait until
the steering wheel is fully turned before
starting to drive backward/forward.

Positioning the car in the parking space

Parallel.

Perpendicular.

Proceed as follows:

1. Move the gear selector into the D position,

wait until the steering wheel has been turned
and drive slowly forward

DRIVER SUPPORT

406

2. Be prepared to stop the car when instructed

by the graphic and message on the centre
display.

3. Select reverse gear and drive slowly back-

wards.

4. Be prepared to stop the car when instructed

by the graphic and message on the centre
display.

The function is deactivated automatically and the
graphics and message show that parking is com-
plete. It may be necessary for the driver to correct
the car’s position. Only the driver can determine
whether the car is properly parked.

IMPORTANT

The warning distance is shorter when the
sensors are used by PAP compared with
when Park Assist uses the sensors.

Leaving a parking space

NOTE

When leaving a parking space, the

Park Out

function must only be used for a parallel-
parked car - it does not work for a perpendic-
ular-parked car.

The

Park Out

function is acti-

vated in the centre display's
function view.

Proceed as follows:

1. Tap on the

Park Out

button in function view.

2. Use the direction indicator to select the

direction in which the car should leave the
parking space.

3. Be prepared to stop the car when instructed

by the graphic and message on the centre
display - follow the instructions in the same
way as for the parking procedure.

Note the steering wheel can "spring" back when
the function is completed - the driver may then
need to turn the steering wheel back to the maxi-
mum steering angle in order to leave the parking
space.

If PAP considers that the driver can leave the
parking space without any extra manoeuvring
then the function will be stopped, even if the
driver may consider that the car is still in the
parking space.

Limitations of Park Assist Pilot

The Park Assist Pilot (PAP

) function cannot

detect everything in all situations and may there-
fore have limited functionality.

WARNING

•

The PAP function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving – it
cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.

•

Be particularly aware of people and ani-
mals near the car.

•

Bear in mind that the front of the car may
swing out towards oncoming traffic dur-
ing the parking manoeuvre.

•

Objects situated higher than the sensor
detection area are not included when cal-
culating the parking manoeuvre, which
could cause PAP to swing into the park-
ing space too early – such parking
spaces should be avoided for this reason.

•

DRIVER SUPPORT

}}

407

A driver should be aware about the following
examples of Park Assist Pilot limitations:

Parking is discontinued

A parking sequence will be discontinued:

•

if the driver moves the steering wheel

•

if the car is driven too quickly - above 7 km/h
(4 mph)

•

if the driver presses

Cancel

in the centre

display

•

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

Where applicable, a message in the centre dis-
play states the reason for a parking sequence
being discontinued.

IMPORTANT

Under certain circumstances, PAP is unable
to find parking spaces - one reason for this
may be the fact that there is interference with
the sensors from external sound sources
which emit the same ultrasound frequencies
as those with which the system works.

Examples of such sources include horns, wet
tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and
exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.

NOTE

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors will
reduce their function and may prevent meas-
urement.

Driver responsibility

The driver should bear in mind that the PAP is an
aid – not an infallible, fully-automatic function.
The driver must therefore be prepared to inter-
rupt a parking step.

There are also a few details to bear in mind while
parking, e.g.:

•

PAP bases itself on the locations of vehicles
already parked nearby - if they are inap-
propriately parked, your own car's tyres and
wheel rims may be damaged by contact with
the kerb.

•

PAP is designed for parking on straight
streets - not sharp curves or bends. For this
reason, make sure the car is parallel to the
parking space when PAP measures the
space.

•

Parking spaces on narrow streets are not
always feasible, since the space required for
manoeuvring may not be sufficient.

•

The driver is responsible for determining
whether the space selected by PAP is suita-
ble for parking.

•

Use approved tyres

with the correct tyre

pressure - this affects the ability of PAP to
park the car.

•

Heavy rain or snow may cause the system to
measure the parking space incorrectly.

•

Do not use PAP if snow chains or a spare
wheel are fitted.

•

Do not use PAP if cargo items are protruding
from the car.

•

Perpendicular parking spaces may be missed
or offered unnecessarily if one parked car is
protruding more than other parked cars.

IMPORTANT

Changing to another approved wheel rim
and/or tyre dimension may involve a changed
tyre circumference, which means that the
PAP system's parameters may then need to
be updated. Consult a workshop - an author-
ised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Park Assist Pilot

"Approved tyres" refers to tyres of the same type and make as those fitted new on delivery from the factory.
