To bear in mind
The driver should bear in mind that the Park
Assist Pilot is an aid – not an infallible, fully-auto-
matic function. The driver must therefore be pre-
pared to intervene. There are also a few details to
bear in mind while parking, e.g.:
•
PAP starts out from the current location of
the parked vehicles - if they are inappropri-
ately parked then the car's tyres and wheel
rims may be damaged against kerbs.
•
PAP is designed for parking on straight
streets, not sharp curves or bends. For this
reason, make sure the car is parallel to the
parking space when PAP measures the
space.
•
It is not always possible to find parking
spaces on narrow streets since there is not
enough space for manoeuvring. In such park-
ing situations, it helps the system to drive as
close to the side of the road as possible
where you intend to park.
•
Bear in mind that the front of the car may
swing out towards oncoming traffic while
being parked.
•
Objects situated higher than the detection
areas of the sensors are not included when
calculations are made for the parking
manoeuvre. This may cause PAP to swing
into the parking space too early, and hence
such parking spaces should be avoided.
•
The driver is responsible for determining
whether the space selected by PAP is suita-
ble for parking.
•
Use approved tyres
39
with the correct tyre
pressure - this affects PAP's ability to park
the car.
•
Heavy rain or snow may cause the system to
measure the parking space incorrectly.
•
Do not use PAP if snow chains or a spare
wheel are fitted.
•
Do not use PAP if loaded objects are pro-
truding from the car.
IMPORTANT
Changing to another approved wheel rim
and/or tyre dimension may involve a changed
tyre circumference, which means that the
PAP system's parameters may then need to
be updated. Consult a workshop - an author-
ised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Maintenance
The PAP sensors are located in the bumpers
40
- 6 front
and 4 rear.
For the PAP function to work correctly, its sen-
sors must be cleaned regularly with water and car
shampoo.

"Approved tyres" refers to tyres of the same type and make as those fitted new on delivery from the factory.
