Park Assist front, rear and sides
Park Assist has different parameters dependingon which part of the vehicle is approaching anobstacle.
Front camera
Continuous tone warning signal when the obstacle isless than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehicle 111.
Park Assist's front sensors are automatically acti-vated when the engine is started. They are activeat speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph).
The distance monitored extends approx. 80 cm(2.5 ft) in front of the vehicle.
NOTE
The Parking Assist system is deactivatedwhen the parking brake is applied or when Pis selected on vehicles with automatic trans-mission.
CAUTION
When installing auxiliary lights: Make surethese do not obscure the sensors – the auxili-ary lights could be perceived as an obstacle.
Back
Continuous tone warning signal when the obstacle isless than approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the vehicle 111
The rear sensors will be activated if the vehiclebegins rolling backward or if reverse gear isengaged.
The distance monitored extendsapprox. 1.5 meters (5 ft) behind the vehicle.
The Parking Assist system's rear sensors will beautomatically deactivated if the vehicle is backingup with a trailer connected to the vehicle's elec-trical system.
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.

Park Assist limitations
Park Assist may not be able to detect all condi-tions in all situations and functionality may there-fore be limited in certain cases.
The driver should be aware of the following limi-tations for Park Assist:
WARNING
Be extra cautious whenreversing if this symbol isshown when a trailer, bikecarrier or similar is attachedand electrically connectedto the vehicle.
The symbol indicates thatthe rear parking assist sensors are deacti-vated and will not warn of any obstacles.
CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy polesor 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, suchas 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 tireson asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noisefrom motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with thevehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch pro-trusion is included when the function meas-ures the distance to objects behind the vehi-cle.

Sensor field from Park Assist forPark Assist Camera
If the vehicle is equipped with Park Assist, dis-tances will be shown in the 360° view with col-ored fields for each sensor that has detected anobstacle.
Front and rear sensors
The screen can display colored sensor fields on thevehicle symbol119.
The front and rear fields change colors (fromYELLOW to ORANGE to RED) as the vehiclemoves closer to an obstacle.
Field color rear-wardDistance in meters (feet)
Yellow0.6-1.5 (2.0-4.9)
Orange0,3–0,6 (1,0–2,0)
Red0-0.3 (0-1.0)
Field color forwardDistance in meters (feet)
Yellow0,6–0,8 (2,0–2,6)
Orange0,3–0,6 (1,0–2,0)
Red0-0.3 (0-1.0)
When the sensor field color is red, the audiblepulsing sounds will change to a continuous tone.
Side sensor fields
Warning signals vary depending on the vehicle'sintended direction of travel. Depending on thesteering wheel position, warnings may be givenfor obstacles diagonally in front of or behind thevehicle, not only directly behind the vehicle.
Parking sensor sectors where obstacles can bedetected119.
Left-side front sensor field
Obstacle sector in the vehicle's intendeddirection of travel forward – varies accordingto steering wheel position
Sector with RED field color and rapidly puls-ing tone
Right-side rear sensor field
Obstacle sector in the vehicle's intendeddirection of travel rearward – varies accordingto steering wheel position.

Park Assist Camera limitations
The Park Assist Camera may not be able todetect all conditions in all situations and func-tionality may therefore be limited.
The driver should be aware of the following limi-tations for the Park Assist Camera:
WARNING
Be extra cautious whenreversing if this symbol isshown when a trailer, bikecarrier or similar is attachedand electrically connectedto the vehicle.
The symbol indicates thatthe rear parking assist sensors are deacti-vated and will not warn of any obstacles.
NOTE
A bike carrier and other accessories mountedon the rear of the vehicle can obscure thecamera's view.
Blind sectors
There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields ofvision.
With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles maynot be detected if they are located in the "joints"where the edges of the individual camera viewsmeet.
WARNING
Even if it seems as though only a fairly smallsection of the screen image is obstructed, thismay mean that a relatively large sector is hid-den and obstacles there may not be detecteduntil they are very near the vehicle.
Defective camera
If a camera sector is dark andcontains this symbol, this indi-cates that the camera is notfunctioning properly.
See the following illustration foran example.
The vehicle's left-side camera is malfunctioning.
Dark camera sector
A dark camera sector may also be displayed inthe following situations, but without the defectivecamera symbol:
a door is open
the tailgate is open
a rearview mirror is folded in
Lighting conditions
The camera image is automatically adjustedaccording to the current lighting conditions. This

Positioning the vehicle in the parking space
Parallel.
Perpendicular.
To do so:
1.Move the gear selector to D, wait until thesteering wheel turns and then drive slowlyforward.
2.Be prepared to stop the vehicle wheninstructed to do so by a graphic and mes-sage in the center display.
3. Engage reverse gear and back up slowly.
4. Be prepared to stop the vehicle wheninstructed to do so by a graphic and mes-sage in the center display.
The function will switch off automatically and agraphic and message will appear to indicate thatparking has been completed. Adjustments canalways be made be the driver afterward. Only thedriver can determine when the vehicle is correctlyparked.
CAUTION
The warning distance is shorter when thesensors are used by PAP compared to whenthey are used by the Parking Assist system.

Leaving a parking space with ParkAssist Pilot
The function Park Out can also help the driverto leave a parking space.
NOTE
Leaving a parking space with the Park Outfunction should only be used in connectionwith parallel parking – it does not work forperpendicular parking.
The Park Out function is acti-vated in the center display'sFunction view or in Cameraview.
To do so:
1.Tap Park Out in Function view or in Cameraview.
2.Move the gear selector to the suitable posi-tion (e.g. D or R) for the direction in whichyou will be pulling out of the parking space.
3. Be prepared to stop the vehicle wheninstructed to do so by a graphic and mes-sage in the center display. Follow the instruc-tions in the same way as for the parking pro-cedure.

Note that the steering wheel can "spring" backwhen the procedure is completed and the drivermay need to turn the steering wheel back to themaximum position in order to pull out of the park-ing space.
If PAP determines that the driver can pull out ofthe parking space without any extra maneuvers,the function will be deactivated, even if it seemsas though the vehicle is not completely out of theparking space.

Park Assist Pilot* limitations
Park Assist Pilot PAP124 may not be able todetect all conditions in all situations and func-tionality may therefore be limited.
WARNING
The PAP function is supplementary driversupport 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 cancelled
A 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 Electronicstability control are engaged - e.g. when awheel loses grip on a slippery road
when the power steering works at reducedpower - 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 beable 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, wettires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaustnoise from motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensorsreduce their function and can make measure-ment impossible.
Driver responsibility
The driver should keep in mind that PAP is aparking aid ‒ not an infallible fully automatic sys-tem. The driver must always be prepared to takecontrol and cancel a parking sequence if neces-sary.
There are a number of things to keep in mindwhen 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 tires125 inflated to the correcttire 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/ortire 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.
125"Approved tires" refers to tires of the same type and make as the vehicle's original, factory-installed tires.
