Parallel parkingOverview of parallel parking.
The PAP function helps park the vehicle using
the following 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 section “Leaving a parking
space with Park Assist Pilot”.
Perpendicular parking Perpendicular parking overview.
The PAP function helps 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 parallel
parking.

408Parking with Park Assist Pilot
Park Assist Pilot (PAP 124
) 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 the
vehicle
follow the instructions on the center dis-
play
change gears (reverse/forward) – a
"ping" sound indicates when the driver
should 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 using
symbols, 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).
NOTE The distance between the vehicle and parking
spots should be 0.5-1.5 meters (1.6-5.0 ft)
when PAP is looking for parking.
ParkingPAP parks the vehicle using the following 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 is positioned in the parking space (the driver may be prompted to shift
gears).
Searching for and measuring potential
parking spots
The function can be activated
in the center display's Function
view.
It can also be accessed from
the camera views. Parallel parking overview.

1.

The vehicle's speed may not exceed
30 km/h (20 mph) when parallel parking or
20 km/h (12 mph) when perpendicular park-
ing.
2. Tap Park In in Function view or in Camera
view.
>

PAP will search for a potential parking
space and measure it to determine if it is
big enough.
3. Be prepared to stop the vehicle when a graphic and message in the center display
indicate that a suitable parking space has
been found.
> A pop-up window will appear.
4. Select Parallel parking or Perpendicular
parking and engage reverse gear.
NOTE PAP searches for space for parking, shows
instructions and guides the vehicle on its pas-
senger side. But, if so desired the vehicle can
be parked on the driver's side of the street:

Activate the turn signals on the driver's
side – the system will then search for
space to park on that side of the vehicle
instead.
Backing into a parking space Parallel.
Perpendicular.
To back into a parking space:
1.

Make sure the path behind your vehicle is
clear and engage reverse gear. 2. Back up slowly and carefully without touch-
ing the steering wheel and do not exceed a
speed of 7 km/h (4 mph).
3. Be prepared to stop the vehicle when instructed to do so by a graphic and mes-
sage in the center display.
NOTE
Keep your hands away from the steering
wheel when the PAP function is acti-
vated.
Make sure that the steering wheel is not
hindered in any way and can rotate freely.
To achieve the best results – wait until
the steering wheel is finished turning
before beginning to drive forward/in
reverse.

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.

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* (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.
