Limitations of Park Assist Pilot *
The Active parking assistance (Park Assist Pilot – PAP) function may have limitations in certainsituations.
Parking is discontinuedA 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 awheel loses grip on a slippery road.
Where applicable, a message in the centre dis-play states the reason for a parking sequencebeing discontinued.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors will reduce their function and may prevent meas-urement.
IMPORTANT
Under certain circumstances, PAP is unable to find parking spaces - one reason for thismay be the fact that there is interference withthe sensors from external sound sourceswhich emit the same ultrasound frequenciesas those with which the system works. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes andexhaust noises from motorcycles etc.
Driver responsibilityThe 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 vehiclesalready parked nearby - if they are inap-propriately parked, your own car's tyres andwheel rims may be damaged by contact withthe kerb.
• PAP is designed for parking on straightstreets - not sharp curves or bends. For thisreason, make sure the car is parallel to theparking space when PAP measures thespace. •
Parking spaces on narrow streets are notalways feasible, since the space required formanoeuvring may not be sufficient.
• Bear in mind that the front of the car mayswing out towards oncoming traffic whilebeing parked.
• Objects situated higher than the detectionareas of the sensors are not taken intoaccount when calculating the parkingmanoeuvre. This may cause PAP to turn intothe parking space too early, and hence suchparking spaces should be avoided.
• The driver is responsible for determiningwhether the space selected by PAP is suita-ble for parking.
• Use approved tyres 28
with the correct tyre
pressure - this affects the ability of PAP topark the car.
• Heavy rain or snow may cause the system tomeasure the parking space incorrectly.
• Do not use PAP if snow chains or a sparewheel are fitted.
• Do not use PAP if cargo items are protrudingfrom the car.
• Perpendicular parking spaces may be missedor offered unnecessarily if one parked car isprotruding more than other parked cars.

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

WHEELS AND TYRES
* Option/accessory.

Wheel bolts
Wheel bolts are used to attach the wheels to the hubs.
IMPORTANT
The wheel bolts must be tightened to 140 Nm. Overtightening or loose tightening maydamage the nuts and the bolts.
Only use rims that are tested and approved by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine accessories. Check the tightening torque of the wheel bolts with a torque wrench. Do not use lubricant on the threads of the wheel
bolts.
Locking wheel bolts *In the foam block under the cargo area floor there is space for the sleeve for the lockablewheel bolts.

Spare wheel
*
The spare wheel, the Temporary spare type, can be used to temporarily replace a punctured nor-mal wheel.
The illustration is schematic - the shape of the foam block may vary depending on car model.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel well with the outside down. The same bolt runsthrough to secure the spare wheel and the foamblock. The foam block contains all tools forchanging a wheel, see the section "Tool kit". The car's handling may be altered by the use of the spare wheel. The spare wheel must bereplaced by a normal wheel as soon as possible. The spare wheel is smaller than the regular wheel, which will affect the car's ground clear-ance. Pay attention to high kerbs and do notmachine wash the car. •
Follow the manufacturer's recommended tyrepressure for the spare wheel.
• On all-wheel drive cars the drive on the rearaxle can be disconnected.
• If the spare wheel is fitted on the front axle, itis not possible to use snow chains at thesame time.
• The spare wheel must not be repaired.
IMPORTANT
• Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) with a spare wheel on the car.
• The car must never be driven fitted withmore than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.
Taking out the spare wheel1. Fold up the cargo area floor, from the rear
and forwards.
2. Undo the retaining screw.
3. Lift out the foam block with its tools.
4. Lift out the spare wheel.
Storing the punctured tyre1. Put the tools back in the foam block and lift the foam block back into the car.
2. Screw in the foam block using the mounting screws and then fold down the cargo area floor.
3. Place the punctured tyre in the cargo area.

Winter wheels
Winter wheels are adapted for winter road con- ditions.
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent onengine variant. When driving on winter tyres, thecorrect type of tyres must be fitted to all fourwheels.
NOTE
Contact a Volvo dealer for advice about which wheel rim and type of tyre are most suitable.
Tips for changing to winter tyresWhen summer and winter wheels are changed, mark which side of the car they were mounted on, for example L for left and R for right.
Studded tyresStudded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properly intothe tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially thestuds, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded tyres vary from country to country.
Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and low tempera- tures place considerably higher demands on tyresthan summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-mends not to drive on winter tyres that have atread depth of less than 4 mm.
Snow chainsVolvo recommends that snow chains are notused on wheel dimensions greater than18 inches. Mounting instructions are supplied with Volvo original snow chains. Snow chains may only be used on the front wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).Never drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) withsnow chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as thiswears out both the snow chains and tyres.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent chains designed for the car model, and tyre and rim dimensions. Only single-sided snow
chains are permitted. In the event of uncertainty about the show chain, Volvo recommends that an authorisedVolvo workshop should be contacted. Thewrong snow chains may cause serious dam-age to the car and lead to an accident.
