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

Park Assist Pilot* (p. 406) Park Assist Pilot* limitations
Park Assist Pilot PAP 125
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 and
help make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and road
conditions.
Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.
Bear in mind that the front end of the
vehicle may swing out towards oncoming
traffic during the parking maneuver.
Objects situated higher than the detec-
tion area of the sensors are not included
when the parking maneuver is calculated,
which could cause PAP to swing into the
parking space too early. Such parking
spaces should be avoided for this reason.
PAP is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance 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: 125

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 a
wheel 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 steering
force").
A message in the center display will explain why
the parking sequence was cancelled.
CAUTION Under certain circumstances, PAP may not be
able to find parking spaces – one reason may
be that the sensors are disrupted by external
sound sources that emit the same ultrasonic
frequencies that the system works with.
Examples of such sources include horns, wet
tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust
noise 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 or
a 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 parking
space, PAP may be unable to detect objects
located far into the space.
PAP may not suggest parking spaces on
narrow streets if it does not detect sufficient
space for maneuvering the vehicle.
Use approved tires 126
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 your
parking space. If they are, for example,
parked too close to the curb, there is a risk
that your vehicle's tires or wheel rims could
be damaged by the curb during the parking
procedure.
Perpendicular parking spaces may not be
detected or may be suggested unnecessarily
if a parked vehicle is sticking out more than
other parked vehicles.
PAP is intended to provide parking assis-
tance on straight streets, not sections of
street with sharp curves or bends. Always
make 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 PAP
system to be updated. Consult a workshop –
an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
126
"Approved tires" refers to tires of the same type and make as the vehicl\
e's original, factory-installed tires.

HYBRID INFORMATION
416General information about Twin
Engine
Twin Engine vehicles are driven just like any
other vehicle, but certain functions differ from a
vehicle powered exclusively by gasoline. The
electric motor powers the vehicle primarily at low
speeds; the gasoline engine is used at higher
speeds or during more active driving.
The instrument panel displays Twin Engine-spe-
cific information - charging information, selected
drive mode, distance to discharged battery and
hybrid battery charge level.
Different drive modes can be selected while driv-
ing, e.g. electric power only or, if more power is
needed, a combination of electric and gasoline
power. The vehicle calculates the optimal combi-
nation of driveability, driving experience, environ-
mental impact and fuel economy for the selected
drive mode.
In order to function optimally, the hybrid battery
(and its electrical drive systems) and the gasoline
engine (and its drive systems) must be at the
correct operating temperature. Battery capacity
can be considerably reduced if the battery is too
cold or too hot. Preconditioning prepares the
vehicle's drive systems and passenger compart-
ment before driving to help reduce both wear and
energy consumption. It also helps increase the
hybrid battery's range.
The hybrid battery which powers the electric
motor is recharged using the charging cable. It can also be recharged during light braking and
through engine braking in gear position B. The
combustion engine can also help recharge the
hybrid battery.
Important
No electrical current
Keep in mind that if there is no electrical current
to the vehicle, i.e. the ignition is switched off or
the start battery is discharged, certain functions
such as brakes, power steering, etc. will not work.
WARNING If the vehicle does not have electrical current
and both the electric motor and the gasoline
engine are switched off, the brakes cannot be
used to stop the vehicle.
Towing not permitted
Never tow a Twin Engine vehicle behind another
vehicle, as this could damage the electric motor.
Exterior engine noise
WARNING
Please be aware that there is no sound from
the engine when the vehicle is being powered
by the electric motor and it may be difficult to
detect by children, pedestrians, cyclists and
animals. This is especially true at low speeds.
High-voltage electrical current
WARNING A number of electrical components in Twin
Engine Plug-in Hybrid vehicles use high-volt-
age current and can be extremely dangerous
if handled incorrectly. These components and
any orange wiring in the vehicle may only be
handled by trained and qualified Volvo service
technicians.
Do not touch anything that is not clearly descri-
bed in this Owner's Manual.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
434 Starting the vehicle
The vehicle can be started using the start knob
in the tunnel console when the remote key is in
the passenger compartment. Start knob in the tunnel console.
WARNING
Before starting:
Buckle your seat belt.
Adjust the seat, steering wheel and mir-
rors.
Make sure you can fully depress the
brake pedal. The remote key is not physically used to start the
ignition because the vehicle is equipped with the
keyless Passive Start system.
To start the vehicle:
1.

The remote key must be inside the vehicle.
For vehicles with Passive Start, the key must
be in the front section of the passenger
compartment. With the optional keyless lock-
ing/unlocking function*, the key can be any-
where in the vehicle.
2. Press and hold down the brake pedal 1
as far
as possible.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release. The control will automatically return to the
original position.
WARNING
Never use more than one inlay mat at a
time on the driver's floor. If any other type
of floor mat is used, remove the original
mat from the driver's seat floor before
driving. All types of mats must be securely
anchored in the attachment points in the
floor. Make sure the floor mat does not
impede the movement of the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal in any way, as this
could be a serious safety hazard.
Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your vehicle. They must be prop-
erly secured in the attachment points in
the floor to help ensure they cannot slide
and become trapped under the pedals.
The starter motor will crank until the engine
starts or until overheating protection is triggered.
During normal start conditions, the vehicle's elec-
tric motor will be prioritized and the gasoline
engine will remain off. This means that once the
start knob is turned clockwise, the electric motor
has been "started" and the vehicle is ready to be
driven. The warning and information symbols in
the instrument panel will go out and the selected
theme will be displayed to indicate that the elec-
tric motor is activated. 1
If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to turn the start knob cl\
ockwise to start the engine.

||STARTING AND DRIVING
436
CAUTION

When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at slightly
higher engine speeds than normal until
the automatic transmission fluid reaches
normal operating temperature.
Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. This could prevent fluids
from properly lubricating vital compo-
nents in the engine before it has reached
the proper operating temperature.
The engine should be idling when the
gear selector is moved. Never accelerate
until the gear is fully engaged. Accelerat-
ing rapidly before a gear is properly
engaged could lead to harder wear of
components.
To help prevent the transmission oil from
overheating, select P or N when idling at
a standstill for prolonged periods of time.
