IMPORTANT
The PAP system's parameters may need to be updated when changing to anotherapproved wheel rim size involving changedtyre circumference. Consult a workshop -an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-mended.
Maintenance
The PAP sensors are located in the bumpers 25
-
6 front and 4 rear.
For the PAP function to work correctly, its sensors must be cleaned regularly with waterand car shampoo - these are the same sen-sors that are used by parking assistance, seePark assist syst* - cleaning the sensors (p.243).

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - symbols and messages
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed. The combined instrument panel can show dif- ferent combinations of symbols and text withvarying content - sometimes with a self-explanatory piece of advice on appropriateaction. If a message shows that PAP is disengaged, contact with an authorised Volvo workshop isrecommended.

Adjustable steering force*
Steering force increases with the speed of the car to give the driver enhanced sensitivity.The steering is firmer and more immediate onmotorways. Steering is light and requires noextra effort when parking and at low speed. The driver can choose between three differ- ent levels of steering force for road respon-siveness or steering sensitivity. The setting ismade in the menu system
MY CAR. For a
description of the menu system, see MY CAR(p. 103). This setting is not accessible when the car is moving.
NOTE
In certain situations the power steering may become too hot and then needs to betemporarily cooled - during this time thepower steering operates with reducedpower and turning the steering wheel maythen be perceived to be slightly heavier. In parallel with the temporarily reduced steering assistance the combined instru-ment panel shows a message.

• Pull the lever back towards "
–" (minus) to
change down a gear and release it.
The manual gearshift mode " +S–" can be
selected at any time while driving. Geartronic automatically shifts down if the driver allows the speed to decrease lowerthan a level suitable for the selected gear, inorder to avoid jerking and stalling. To return to automatic driving mode:
• Move the lever to the side to the end position at
D.
NOTE
If the gearbox has a Sport programme then the gearbox will only become manualafter the gear selector has been movedforwards or backwards in its " +S–" posi-
tion. The combined instrument panel then changes indication from
S to show which
of the gears 1, 2, 3 etc. is engaged.
Paddles*As a supplement to manual gear changing with the gear selector there are also controlslocated on the steering wheel, so-called"paddles". To be able to change gear with the steering wheel paddles they must first be activated.This is by means of pulling one of the paddlestoward the steering wheel - the combined instrument panel then changes indicationfrom "
D" to a figure, which indicates the cur-
rent gear. To then change gear one step: • Pull one of the paddles backwards - towards the steering wheel - and release.
Both steering wheel "paddles".
"
-": Selects the next lower gear.
" + ": Selects the next higher gear.
A gear change occurs at each pull of the pad- dle provided that the engine speed does notleave the permitted range. After each gear change the combined instru- ment panel changes figure to show the cur-rent gear.
NOTE
Automatic deactivation If the steering wheel paddles are not used then they are deactivated after a short time- this is indicated when the combinedinstrument panel switches indication, fromthe figure for the current gear back to " D".
The exception is during engine braking -then the paddles are activated as long asengine braking is in progress. Manual deactivation The steering wheel paddle shifters can also be deactivated manually: • Pull both paddles toward the steering wheel and hold until the combinedinstrument panel changes characterfrom the figure for the current gear to"
D ".
The paddles can also be used with the gear selector in Sport mode* - then the paddlesare constantly activated without being deacti-vated.

Geartronic - Sport mode* (S) 9The Sport programme provides sportier characteristics and allowshigher engine speed for the gears.At the same time it responds more
quickly to acceleration. During active driving,the use of a lower gear is prioritised, leadingto a delayed upshift.
To activate Sport mode: • Move the gear selector to the side from
D
position to the end position at " +S–" - the
combined instrument panel changes indi- cation from
D to S.
Sport mode can be selected at any time while driving.
Geartronic - Winter modeIt can be easier to pull away on slippery roadsif 3rd gear is engaged manually.
1. Depress the brake pedal and move the gear selector from D position to the end
position at " +S–" - the combined instru-
ment panel changes indication from
D to
the figure
110 .
2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the lever forward towards " +" (plus) twice - the dis-
play shifts the indication from
1 to 3.
3. Release the brake and accelerate care- fully. The gearbox "winter mode" means that the car moves off with a lower engine speed andreduced engine power on the drive wheels.
Kick-downWhen the accelerator pedal is pressed all theway to the floor (beyond the position normallyregarded as full acceleration) a lower gear isimmediately engaged. This is known as kick-down. If the accelerator is released from the kick- down position, the gearbox automaticallychanges up. Kick-down is used when maximum accelera- tion is needed, such as for overtaking. Safety function To prevent overrevving the engine, the gear- box control program has a protective down-shift inhibitor which prevents the kick-downfunction. Geartronic does not permit downshifting/ kick-down which would result in an enginespeed high enough to damage the engine.Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shiftdown in this way at high engine speed – theoriginal gear remains engaged. When kick-down is activated the car can change one or more gears at a time depend-ing on engine speed. The car changes up when the engine reaches its maximum speedin order to prevent damage to the engine.

Automatic gearbox -- Powershift*
An automatic gearbox with Powershift differs from an automatic gearbox with Geartronic (p.273), in that it has double mechanical clutchdiscs.
D : Automatic gear positions. +S–: Manual gear
positions. S: Sport mode*.
The Powershift automatic gearbox transmits the motive force from the engine to the drivewheels with double mechanical clutch discs,as opposed to Geartronic which instead usesa hydraulic torque converter. Powershift transmission operates in the same way and has similar controls and functions asthe Geartronic automatic transmission. Oneexception is Geartronic's Winter mode, seethe section "Geartronic - Winter mode" (p. 273). Powershift enables driving away on aslippery road surface if 2nd gear is engagedmanually instead of 3rd gear (Geartronic).
Powershift or GeartronicThe model with Powershift transmissionshould not be towed as it is dependent on theengine running in order to receive sufficientlubrication. If towing still has to take place,the route must be as short as possible andthen with very low speed. In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not the car is equipped with Powershift trans-mission, this can be verified by checking thedesignation on the gearbox label under thebonnet - see Type designations (p. 386). Thedesignation ”MPS6” means that it isPowershift transmission - otherwise it isGeartronic automatic transmission.
To bear in mindThe transmission's double clutch has over-load protection that is activated if it becomestoo hot, e.g. if the car is held stationary withthe accelerator pedal on an uphill gradient fora long time. Overheated transmission causes the car to shake and vibrate, and the warning symbolilluminates and the combined instrumentpanel shows a message. The transmissioncan also overheat during slow driving inqueues (10 km/h or slower) on an uphill gradi-ent, or with a trailer hitched. The transmissioncools down when the car is stationary, withfoot brake depressed and the engine runningat idling speed. Overheating during slow driving in queues can be avoided by driving in stages:
• Stop the car and wait with your foot on the brake pedal until there is a moderatedistance to the traffic ahead, drive for-ward a short distance, and then waitanother moment with your foot on thebrake pedal.
IMPORTANT
Use the foot brake to hold the car station- ary on an uphill gradient - do not hold thecar with the accelerator pedal. The gear-box could then overheat.
For important information regarding Power- shift transmission and towing, see Towing (p.313).
Text message and actionIn some situations the combined instrumentpanel may show a text message at the sametime as a symbol is illuminated.
