When the vehicle is backing up, PAP will steer itinto the parking space. Do as follows:
1.Check that the area behind the vehicle isclear and put the gear selector in R.
2. Back up slowly without moving the steeringwheel. The vehicle's speed must be belowapproximately 4 mph (7 km/h).
3. Keep an eye on the instrument panel and beprepared to stop the vehicle when you areinstructed by PAP to do so.

NOTE
•Release the wheel while PAP is steeringthe 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
Parallel
Perpendicular
After the vehicle has backed into the parkingspace, its position in the space has to be
adjusted by driving slightly forward and backingup.
1.Put the gear selector in D, wait until thesteering wheel has turned and drive forwardslowly.
2.Stop the vehicle when you are instructed byPAP to do so.
3.Put the gear selector in R, back up slowlyand 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), PAP switches off automatically. If neces-sary, the driver may need to make minor adjust-ments to ensure that the vehicle is parked cor-rectly.

CAUTION
The warning distance is shorter when PAP isusing the sensors than when Park Assist isusing them.

Leaving a parking space
This function can only be usedfor a vehicle that has been par-allel parked and is activated inthe center display's Functionview.

1. Tap the Park out button in the center display'sFunction view.
2. Use the turn signal to indicate the direction inwhich the vehicle should leave the parking space.
3. Follow the instructions provided in the centerdisplay. The procedure is the same as when park-ing the vehicle.
The steering wheel may turn back slightly whenthe function is completed and the driver mayhave to turn the back before leaving the parkingspace.
If PAP determines that the driver can leave theparking space without assistance, the functionwill deactivate before the vehicle is completelyout of the space.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* limitations
The PAP function may be limited in certain situa-tions.
The PAP parking sequence is cancelled
A parking sequence will be cancelled:
•if the vehicle is driven too fast: above approx.4 mph (7 km/h)
•if the driver taps Cancel in the center display
•if the driver moves the steering wheel withsufficient force.
•if the anti-lock brakes or Electronic StabilityControl are activated (e.g., if a wheel beginsto spin or lose traction)
In such cases, a text message will explain whythe parking sequence was cancelled.

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.
Points to keep in mind
PAP is a parking aid only and the driver shouldalways be prepared to take control and cancel aparking sequence. This can be due to one ormore of the following factors:
•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 between1.5-5.0 ft (0.5-1.5 m) from the side of theroad where the parking 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.

This function is active at speeds from approx.90 mph (150 km/h) down to 3 mph (5 km/h).When braking at speeds outside of this range orduring harder braking, the hydraulic brake systemis used.

Cleaning the brake discs
Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discsmay result in delayed brake function. This delay isminimized by cleaning the brake linings.
Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wetweather, prior to long-term parking, and after thevehicle has been washed. Do this by braking gen-tly for a short period while the vehicle is moving.
Driving on wet or salted roads
Prolonged driving on wet or salted roads canaffect brake function and increase stopping dis-tance. Be sure to keep a safe distance to thevehicle ahead when driving under these condi-tions.

Brake pad inspection
On vehicles equipped with a jack*, the conditionof the brake pads can be checked by raising thevehicle and performing a visual inspection of thebrake pads.

WARNING
•If the vehicle has been driven immediatelyprior to a brake pad inspection, the wheelhub, brake components, etc., will be veryhot. Allow time for these components tocool before carrying out the inspection.
•Apply the parking brake and put the gearselector in the Park (P) position.
•Block the wheels standing on the ground,use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
WARNING
•Use the jack intended for the vehiclewhen changing a tire. For any other job,use stands to support the vehicle.
•The jack should be kept well-greased andclean, and should not be damaged.
•Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface.
•No objects should be placed between thebase of jack and the ground, or betweenthe jack and the attachment bar on thevehicle.
•The jack must correctly engage the jackattachment.
•Never allow any part of your body to beextended under a vehicle supported by ajack.

Brake functions
The vehicle's standard braking features are aug-mented by a number of auxiliary help functions.
In addition to the wheel brakes and the parkingbrake, the vehicle is equipped with several auto-matic brake assist functions. These systems helpthe driver by e.g., keeping the vehicle stationarywhen the brake pedal is not depressed (at a traf-fic light or intersection), when starting up a hill orwhen driving down a hill.
These systems include:
•Auto-hold brakes
•Hill Start Assist
•Braking assist after a collision
•Hill Descent Control*
