Park Assist Pilot PAP 126
may not be able to
detect all conditions in all situations and func- tionality may therefore be limited.WARNING
• The PAP function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving andhelp make it safer – it cannot handle allsituations in all traffic, weather and roadconditions.
• Pay particular attention to people andanimals near the vehicle.
• Bear in mind that the front end of thevehicle may swing out towards oncomingtraffic during the parking maneuver.
• Objects situated higher than the detec-tion area of the sensors are not includedwhen the parking maneuver is calculated,which could cause PAP to swing into theparking space too early. Such parkingspaces should be avoided for this reason.
• PAP is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
The driver should be aware of the following limi-tations for Park Assist Pilot:
The parking sequence is cancelledA parking sequence will be cancelled if:
• the driver moves the steering wheel
• the vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h (4 mph)
• the driver taps
Cancel in the center display
• when the anti-lock brakes or the Electronic stability control are engaged - e.g. when awheel loses grip on a slippery road
• when the power steering works at reduced power - e.g. during cooling due to overheat- ing (see section "Speed-dependent steeringforce").
A message in the center display will explain whythe parking sequence was cancelled.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances, PAP may not be able to find parking spaces – one reason maybe that the sensors are disrupted by externalsound sources that emit the same ultrasonicfrequencies that the system works with. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaustnoise from motorcycles, etc.

NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors reduce their function and can make measure-ment impossible.
Driver responsibilityThe driver should keep in mind that PAP is a parking aid ‒ not an infallible fully automatic sys-
tem. The driver must always be prepared to take control and cancel a parking sequence if neces-sary. There are a number of things to keep in mind when parking, including:
• The driver is always responsible for determin-ing if the space suggested by PAP is suita-ble for parking.
• Do not use PAP when using snow chains ora temporary spare tire.
• Do not use PAP if there are any objects pro-truding from the vehicle.
• Heavy rain or snowfall may inhibit PAP's abil-ity to accurately measure a parking space.
• While searching and measuring the parkingspace, PAP may be unable to detect objectslocated far into the space.
• PAP may not suggest parking spaces onnarrow streets if it does not detect sufficientspace for maneuvering the vehicle. •
Use approved tires 127
inflated to the correct
tire pressure because this affects PAP's abil-ity to provide parking assistance.
• PAP's function is based on the way the vehi-cles are parked behind and in front of yourparking 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.
• Perpendicular parking spaces may not bedetected or may be suggested unnecessarilyif a parked vehicle is sticking out more thanother parked vehicles.
• PAP is intended to provide parking assis-tance on straight streets, not sections ofstreet with sharp curves or bends. Alwaysmake sure that your vehicle is parallel to rel-evant parking spaces when PAP is measur-ing the parking space.
CAUTION
Switching to another approved wheel and/or tire dimension could change the tire circum-ference, which would then require the PAPsystem to be updated. Consult a workshop –an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended.

Location of the backup reader in the tunnel console.
If the Vehicle key not found message is shown
in the instrument panel at start, place the remote key at the backup reader and then make a newstart attempt.
NOTE
When the remote key is placed in the backup reader, make sure that no other vehicle keys,metal objects or electronic devices (e.g. cellu-lar phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are inthe backup reader. Multiple vehicle keys closeto each other in the backup reader can dis-rupt their functionality.
CAUTION
If the engine has not responded after 3 attempts – wait for 3 minutes before startinga new attempt. Starting capability increases ifthe starter battery is given time to recover.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the vehicle while driving or the vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
• Always remove the remote key from the passenger compartment when you leavethe vehicle and make sure the ignition is in mode
0.
• Always put the gear selector in
P and
apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unsu-pervised while the engine is running.
• Always open the garage door fully andmake sure that ventilation is very goodbefore starting the engine in a garage.The exhaust fumes produced by the vehi-cle contain carbon monoxide, which isinvisible and odorless but very toxic.
WARNING
Always take along the remote control key when leaving the vehicle and make sure thatthe vehicle electrical system is in ignition mode
0 – especially if there are children in
the vehicle.
NOTE
With a cold start, idling speed may be consid- erably higher than normal for certain enginetypes. This is done to get the emissions sys-tem up to normal operating temperature asquickly as possible, which minimizes exhaustemissions and protects the environment.
CAUTION
• When starting in cold weather, the auto- matic transmission may shift up at slightlyhigher engine speeds than normal untilthe automatic transmission fluid reachesnormal operating temperature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediatelyafter starting. This could prevent fluidsfrom properly lubricating vital compo-nents in the engine before it has reachedthe proper operating temperature.
• The engine should be idling when thegear selector is moved. Never accelerateuntil the gear is fully engaged. Accelerat-ing rapidly before a gear is properlyengaged could lead to harder wear ofcomponents.
• To help prevent the transmission oil from overheating, select
P or N when idling at
a standstill for prolonged periods of time.

The kickdown function
Kickdown 3
is used when maximum acceleration
is needed, e.g. when passing.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed all the way to the floor (past the normal full acceleratorposition), the transmission will automaticallyengage kickdown, i.e. immediately shift down to alower gear. If the accelerator pedal is released from the kick- down position, the transmission will automaticallyshift up again.
Safety function
The transmission control module is equipped with a downshift protection feature to help prevent theengine from overheating. In some conditions, the transmission will prevent downshifting/kickdown if this would lead to suchhigh engine speed (rpm) that the engine couldbe damaged. If the driver still attempts downshift-ing or kickdown at a high rpm, nothing will hap-pen and the original gear will remain selected. With kickdown, the vehicle can downshift one or more steps at a time depending on the enginespeed. The vehicle upshifts when the engine rea-ches its maximum rpm to prevent engine dam-age.

ECO drive mode
The Eco drive mode optimizes the vehicle's driv- ing characteristics for more fuel-efficient andeco-friendly driving.
Use this mode to save fuel and promote eco- friendly driving. When ECO mode is activated, the following cha- racteristics are modified:
• The automatic transmission's shifting points.
• Engine control and accelerator pedalresponse.
• Eco Coast functionality is activated andengine braking is disabled when the acceler-ator pedal is released at speeds between65 and 140 km/h (40 and 87 mph).
• Some of the climate system settings will bereduced or switched off.
• Information will be shown in the ECO gaugein the instrument panel to help promotemore eco-friendly and economical driving.
Coast function Eco CoastEco Coast essentially deactivates engine braking,allowing the vehicle's kinetic energy to be used to roll greater distances. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the transmission is auto- matically disengaged from the engine. Enginespeed is reduced to idling speed to reduce fuelconsumption.

Emission controls
Three-way catalytic converter
•Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving theelectrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems,may cause unusually high three-way catalyticconverter temperatures. Do not continue tooperate your vehicle if you detect enginemisfire, noticeable loss of power or otherunusual operating conditions, such as engineoverheating or backfiring. A properly tunedengine will help avoid malfunctions thatcould damage the three-way catalytic con-verter.
• Do not park your vehicle over combustiblematerials, such as grass or leaves, which cancome into contact with the hot exhaust sys-tem and cause such materials to ignite undercertain wind and weather conditions.
• Excessive starter cranking (in excess of oneminute), or an intermittently firing or floodedengine can cause three-way catalytic con-verter or exhaust system overheating.
• Remember that tampering or unauthorizedmodifications to the engine, the Engine Con-trol Module, or the vehicle may be illegal andcan cause three-way catalytic converter orexhaust system overheating. This includes:altering fuel injection settings or compo-nents, altering emission system components or location or removing components, and/orrepeated use of leaded fuel.NOTE
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converters.
Heated oxygen sensorsThe heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. Readings are fedinto a control module that continuously monitorsengine functions and controls fuel injection. Theratio of fuel to air into the engine is continuouslyadjusted for efficient combustion to help reduceharmful emissions.

Battery drain The electrical functions in the vehicle drain the battery to varying degrees. Avoid using ignitionmode II when the engine is switched off. Use
ignition mode I instead, as this uses less electri-
cal current.
Note that certain accessories may also drain power from the electrical system. Do not usefunctions that use a lot of electrical current whenthe engine is turned off. Examples of such func-tions are:
• blower
• headlights
• windshield wipers
• audio system (especially at high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, a message isshown in the driver display. The vehicle's energy-saving function will then turn off or reduce certainfunctions, such as the blower and/or the audio system.
–Charge the battery by starting the engine and let it run for at least 15 minutes (drivingcharges the battery faster than letting theengine idle).
