Audible signal
The Park Assist system uses an intermittent tone that pulses faster as you come close to an object,and becomes constant when you are withinapproximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an object in front ofor behind the vehicle. If there are objects withinthis distance both behind and in front of the vehi-cle, the tone alternates between front and rearspeakers.
NOTE
The level of the audible signal can be low- ered/raised with the infotainment volumecontrol. The level can also be set in the MYCAR menu system. See My Car – introduction(p. 71) for a description of the menu system.
If the volume of another source from the audio system is high, this will be automatically lowered.
Rear park assist
The distance monitored behind the vehicle is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signalcomes from the rear speakers. The system must be deactivated when towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier,etc, which could trigger the rear park assist sys-tem's sensors.
NOTE
•Rear park assist is deactivated automati- cally when towing a trailer if Volvo genu-ine trailer wiring is used. If a non-Volvotrailer hitch is being used, it may be nec-essary to switch off the system manually,see Park assist – operation (p. 233).
• The system will not detect high objects,such as a loading dock, etc.
• Objects such as chains, thin shiny polesor low objects may temporarily not bedetected by the system. This may resultin the pulsing tone unexpectedly stoppinginstead of changing to a constant tone asthe vehicle approaches the object. Insuch cases, use caution when backing upor stop the vehicle to help avoid damage.

Front park assist
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audible signalcomes from the audio system's front speakers. It may not be possible to combine auxiliary head- lights and front park assist since these lightscould trigger the system's sensors.
NOTE
Front park assist is deactivated when the parking brake is applied and or when the gear selector is in the P position.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* –
introduction
The Park Assist Pilot provides assistance when parallel parking by measuring the parking spaceand 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 itis big enough for the vehicle
• Helping to steer the vehicle into the parkingspace
Information about the actions required of thedriver is provided in the instrument panel in theform of symbols, images and text.
NOTE
If a trailer hitch is configured in the vehicle's electrical system, PAP will take the trailerhitch into consideration when determining thenecessary size of a parking space.
WARNING
• PAP does not function in all situations and is only intended to assist the driverwhen parallel parking.
• As the driver, you have full responsibilityfor 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 parallelparking procedure. The driver is responsible forfollowing 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)

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 foryour vehicle. To start this procedure:
1. Activate PAP by pressingthis button on the center con-sole and if necessary slowingdown 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.
NOTE
PAP normally searches for available parking spaces along the curb on the right (passeng-er's) side of the vehicle. However, it can alsoassist in finding and parking in spaces on thedriver's side. To do so:
• Activate the left turn signal. PAP will thensearch for a parking space on the leftside of the vehicle.

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 areinstructed by PAP to do so.
NOTE
•Release the wheel while PAP is steering the vehicle.
• The steering wheel must be able to turnfreely.
• For PAP to function optimally, wait untilthe steering wheel is no longer turningbefore beginning the next phase of theparking procedure.
3: Adjusting the vehicle's position
After the vehicle has backed into the parking space, its position in the space has to beadjusted by driving slightly forward and backingup. 1.
Put the gear selector in D, wait until the
steering wheel has turned and drive forwardslowly.
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 todo so.
When the parking procedure is finished (this willbe indicated by a text message and a graphicimage in the instrument panel) , PAP switches offautomatically. If necessary, the driver may need tomake 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 aslippery road surface
If the system has been switched off, this will beindicated by a text message in the instrumentpanel.
NOTE
• PAP will not function correctly if its sen- sors are obstructed by dirt, snow, etc.
• In certain situations, PAP may not be ableto measure a parking space. This couldbe 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 ultrasoundusing 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 inall situations. •
PAP's function is based on the way that thevehicles are parked behind and in front ofyour parking space. If they are, for example,parked too close to the curb, there is a riskthat your vehicle's tires or wheel rims couldbe damaged by the curb during the parkingprocedure.
• PAP is intended to provide parking assis-tance on straight streets, not sections ofstreet with curved or irregular curbs. Be surethat your vehicle is parallel to the curb whenPAP measures the parking space.
• PAP may not be able to provide parkingassistance on narrow streets due to lack ofspace to maneuver the vehicle. In situationslike this, it may help to drive as close to theside 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'scapacity to provide parking assistance.Changing to a different approved tire sizemay affect PAP's parameters. Consult atrained and qualified Volvo service technician.
• Heavy rain or snow may inhibit PAP'scapacity to correctly measure a parkingspace.
• 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 whenPAP measures a parking space. For thisreason, PAP may turn into the parkingspace too soon. Avoid parking spaces ofthis type.
• The driver is always responsible for deter-mining if PAP has selected a suitableparking space.
