function is engaged
- e.g. if a wheel loses grip on a slippery
road surface.
A text message indicates where the PAP
sequence was stopped.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
will reduce their function and may prevent
measurement.
IMPORTANT
Under certain circumstances, PAP is
unable to find parking spaces - one reason
for this may be the fact that there is inter-
ference with the sensors from external
sound sources which emit the same ultra-
sound frequencies as those with which the
system works.
Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes
and exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.
To bear in mind
The driver should bear in mind that the Park
Assist Pilot is an aid – not an infallible, fully-
automatic function. The driver must therefore
be prepared 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 inap-
propriately 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 parking situations, it helps the sys-
tem 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 park-
ing 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
suitable for parking.
•
Use approved tyres
33
with the correct tyre
pressure - this affects PAP's ability to
park the car.
•
Heavy rain or snow may cause the sys-
tem to measure the parking space incor-
rectly.
•
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
The PAP system's parameters may need
to be updated when changing to another
approved wheel rim size involving changed
tyre circumference. Consult a workshop -
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
