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 when
reversing if this symbol is
shown when a trailer, bike
carrier or similar is attached
and electrically connected
to the vehicle.
The symbol indicates that
the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-
vated and will not warn of any obstacles.
CAUTION Objects such as chains, thin and glossy poles
or low obstacles may end up in the "signal
shadow" and then go temporarily undetected
by the sensors – the pulsating tone may then
unexpectedly stop instead of becoming a
constant tone as expected.
The sensors cannot detect high objects, such
as protruding ramps.
In such situations, pay extra attention and
maneuver/drive the vehicle very slowly or
stop the current parking maneuver –
there may be a high risk of damage to
the vehicle or other objects since infor-
mation from the sensors is not always
reliable 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 ultrasonic
frequencies as those the system works with.
Examples of such sources are horns, wet tires
on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noise
from 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.

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 an
obstacle.
Front and rear sensors The screen can display colored sensor fields on the
vehicle symbol

Orange 0,3–0,6 (1,0–2,0)
Red 0-0.3 (0-1.0) When the sensor field color is red, the audible
pulsing sounds will change to a continuous tone.
Side sensor fields
Warning signals vary depending on the vehicle's
intended direction of travel. Depending on the
steering wheel position, warnings may be given
for obstacles diagonally in front of or behind the
vehicle, not only directly behind the vehicle. Parking sensor sectors where obstacles can be

Park Assist Camera limitations
The Park Assist Camera may not be able to
detect 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 when
reversing if this symbol is
shown when a trailer, bike
carrier or similar is attached
and electrically connected
to the vehicle.
The symbol indicates that
the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-
vated and will not warn of any obstacles.
NOTE A bike carrier and other accessories mounted
on the rear of the vehicle can obscure the
camera's view.
Blind sectors There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of
vision.
With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles may
not be detected if they are located in the "joints"
where the edges of the individual camera views
meet.
WARNING
Even if it seems as though only a fairly small
section of the screen image is obstructed, this
may mean that a relatively large sector is hid-
den and obstacles there may not be detected
until they are very near the vehicle.
Defective cameraIf a camera sector is dark and
contains this symbol, this indi-
cates that the camera is not
functioning properly.
See the following illustration for
an example. The vehicle's left-side camera is malfunctioning.
Dark camera sector
A dark camera sector may also be displayed in
the following situations, but without the defective
camera symbol:
a door is open
the tailgate is open
a rearview mirror is folded in
Lighting conditionsThe camera image is automatically adjusted
according 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 the
steering wheel turns and then drive slowly
forward. 2.

Be prepared to stop the vehicle when
instructed 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 when instructed to do so by a graphic and mes-
sage in the center display.
The function will switch off automatically and a
graphic and message will appear to indicate that
parking has been completed. Adjustments can
always be made be the driver afterward. Only the
driver can determine when the vehicle is correctly
parked.
CAUTION The warning distance is shorter when the
sensors are used by PAP compared to when
they are used by the Parking Assist system.

Assist Pilot
The function Park Out can also help the driver
to leave a parking space.
NOTE Leaving a parking space with the Park Out
function should only be used in connection
with parallel parking – it does not work for
perpendicular parking.
The Park Out function is acti-
vated in the center display's
Function view or in Camera
view. To do so:
1.
Tap Park Out in Function view or in Camera
view.
2.

Move the gear selector to the suitable posi-
tion (e.g. D or R) for the direction in which
you will be pulling out of the parking space.
3. Be prepared to stop the vehicle when instructed 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" 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 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.
