Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC66
). If any of
these other systems stops working, Pilot Assist will automatically switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an acoustic signal and a messageon the instrument panel. • The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, apply the brakes if necessary, andmaintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standbymode if, e.g.: • the driver opens the door.
• the brake temperature is high.
• the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel.
• the parking brake is applied.
• the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
• one or more of the wheels lose traction.
• the camera/radar sensor is covered by snowor heavy rain (the camera lens/radar wavesare blocked) •
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine ifthe vehicle ahead is stationary or if it isanother object, e.g. a speed bump.
• your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatPilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.Reactivating Pilot Assist from standby
mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
To reactivate Pilot Assist:
–Press the button on the steering wheel
(1).
> Speed will be set to the most recently stored speed.
WARNING
A noticeable increase in speed may follow when the speed is resumed with the
steering wheel button.

Switching target vehicles with PilotAssist
At certain speeds, models with automatic trans-
missions and Pilot Assist can switch target vehi-cles.
Switching target vehicles
If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be stationary traffic ahead.
When Pilot Assist is actively following another vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h (20 mph) and
switches targets from a moving vehicle to a sta-
tionary vehicle, Pilot Assist will brake for the sta-tionary vehicle.
WARNING
When Pilot Assist follows another vehicle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and
changes target vehicle – from a moving vehi- cle to a stationary one – Pilot Assist will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead
accelerate to the stored speed.
• The driver must then intervene and apply the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching
targets
Pilot Assist disengages and goes into standby mode if:
• your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine ifthe target object is a stationary vehicle oranother object, e.g. a speed bump.
• your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatPilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.

Automatic braking with Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist has a special braking function in slow traffic and at a standstill.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop- ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-cally if the vehicle is stopped for less thanapprox. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3 sec-onds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving again,Pilot Assist will go into standby mode and theAuto-hold brake function will activate.
–Pilot Assist can be reactivated by:
• Pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad.
• Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> Pilot Assist will resume following the vehi- cle ahead if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
Pilot Assist can keep the vehicle stationary for no more than 5 minutes – after that timethe parking brake is applied and the functionis deactivated. The parking brake must be released before Pilot Assist can be reactivated.

Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivated when the vehicle is at a standstill and Pilot Assistwill go into standby mode. This means that thebrakes will be released and the vehicle couldbegin to roll. The driver must actively apply thebrakes to keep the vehicle stationary. This can occur if:
• the driver depresses the brake pedal
• the parking brake is applied
• the gear selector is moved to the
P, N or R
positions
• the driver puts Pilot Assist in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking BrakeIn certain situations, the parking brake will be applied to keep the vehicle at a standstill. This occurs if Pilot Assist is keeping the vehicle stationary using the brakes and:
• the driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt
• Pilot Assist has kept the vehicle at a stand-still for more than approx. 5 minutes
• the brakes overheat
• the driver switches off the engine manually.

Pilot Assist limitations
Pilot Assist functionality may be reduced in cer- tain situations.
Pilot Assist is a driver support function designed to simplify driving and assist the driver in manysituations. However, the driver is always responsi-ble for maintaining a suitable distance to vehiclesor objects around it and ensuring that the vehicleis correctly positioned in the traffic lane.
WARNING
In some situations, Pilot Assist may have trou- ble helping the driver properly or may bedeactivated automatically – we advise againstusing Pilot Assist in such cases. Examples ofsuch situations include:
• the lane markings are worn, missing or cross each other.
• lane division is unclear, for example, whenthe lanes divide or merge or at exits orwhen there are multiple sets of markings.
• edges or other lines than lane markingsare present on or near the road, e.g.curbs, joints or repairs to the road sur-face, edges of barriers, roadside edges orstrong shadows.
• the lane is narrow or winding.
• the lane contains ridges or holes.
• weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain,snow or fog or slush or reduced visibilitywith poor light conditions, backlighting,wet road surface, etc.
The driver should also note that Pilot Assist has the following limitations: • High curbs, roadside barriers, temporary obstacles (traffic cones, safety barriers,etc.) are not detected. Alternatively, theymay be detected incorrectly as lane mark-ings, with a subsequent risk of contactbetween the vehicle and such obstacles.

Park Assist front, rear and sides
Park Assist has different parameters depending on which part of the vehicle is approaching anobstacle.
Back
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
The rear sensors will be activated if the vehicle begins rolling backward or if reverse gear isengaged. The distance monitored begins approx. 1.5 meters (5 feet) behind the vehicle. The rear sensors will be automatically deactivated if the vehicle is backing up with a trailer attached.
NOTE
When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bike car- rier on the trailer hitch – without Volvo originaltrailer cables – the Parking Assist system mayhave to be turned off manually to prevent thesensors from reacting to these.
Side sensors
Park Assist's side sensors are automatically acti- vated when the engine is started. They are activeat speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph). The distance monitored begins approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the sides. The audible signal for obsta-cles along the sides of the vehicle is emittedfrom the side speakers.
Front camera
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
Park Assist's front sensors are automatically acti- vated when the engine is started. The front sen-sors are active at speeds below 10 km/h(6 mph). The distance monitored begins approx. 80 cm (2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.
NOTE
The Parking Assist system is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or when P
is selected on vehicles with automatic trans- mission.

CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy poles or low obstacles may end up in the "signalshadow" and then go temporarily undetectedby the sensors – the pulsating tone may thenunexpectedly stop instead of becoming aconstant tone as expected. The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as protruding ramps.
• In such situations, pay extra attention andmaneuver/drive the vehicle very slowly orstop the current parking maneuver –there may be a high risk of damage tothe vehicle or other objects since infor-mation from the sensors is not alwaysreliable in such situations.
CAUTION
In some circumstances, the Park Assist Sys- tem may produce false warnings due to exter-nal sound sources with the same ultrasonicfrequencies as those the system works with. Examples of such sources are horns, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noisefrom motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with the vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch pro-trusion is included when the function meas-ures the distance to objects behind the vehi-cle.

Park Assist Pilot *
Park Assist Pilot (PAP 124
) helps the driver pull
into and out of parking spaces.
PAP first checks whether there is sufficient space and then steers the car into the space. The center display uses symbols, graphics and messages to inform the driver of what steps needto be taken and when.
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.
• 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.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and steers the vehicle – the driver's role is to:
• keep close watch of the area around thevehicle
• follow the instructions on the center dis-play
• change gears (reverse/forward) – a"ping" sound indicates when the drivershould change gears
• regulate and maintain a safe speed
• apply the brakes and stop.

Parallel parking
Overview of parallel parking.
The PAP function parks the vehicle using the fol- lowing steps:
1. The system searches for and measures
potential parking spaces.
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space.
3. The vehicle's position in the space is adjusted by driving forward/backward.
The
Park Out function can be used to receive
assistance from PAP while pulling out of a park- ing space. See the heading "Pulling out of aparking space" under "Parking with Park AssistPilot".
Perpendicular parking
Perpendicular parking overview.
The PAP function parks the vehicle using the fol- lowing steps:
1. The system searches for and measures potential parking spaces.
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the space and its position is adjusted by driv-ing forward/backward.
NOTE
The PAP function Park Out cannot help the
vehicle leave a perpendicular parking space – the function should only be used for parallelparking.

Parking with Park Assist Pilot Park Assist Pilot (PAP 126
) helps the driver park
using three different steps. The function can also help the driver pull out of a parking space.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and steers the vehicle – the driver's role is to:
• keep close watch of the area around thevehicle
• follow the instructions on the center dis-play
• change gears (reverse/forward) – a"ping" sound indicates when the drivershould change gears
• regulate and maintain a safe speed
• apply the brakes and stop.
Information about the actions required by the driver are provided in the center display usingsymbols, graphics and/or text. PAP can be activated if the following criteria have been met after the engine is started: •
No trailer is hitched to the vehicle
• Your vehicle's speed is lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).

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.
