Camera view when manually starting
the camera

Start the Park Assist Camera
using this button in the center
display's Function view.

The screen will first show the
most recently used camera
view. However, each time the

engine is started, the previous side view will be
replaced by the 360° view and a previously dis-
played zoomed-in rear view will be replaced by
the regular rear view.

Automatically deactivating the camera

Front view switches off when the vehicle's speed
reaches 25 km/h (16 mph) to help avoid dis-
tracting the driver. It will be automatically reactiva-
ted if the vehicle's speed falls below 22 km/h
(14 mph) within 1 minute as long as the vehicle's
speed has not exceeded 50 km/h (31 mph).

Other camera views switch off at 15 km/h
(9 mph) and are not reactivated.

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.

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 camera

If 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 conditions

The camera image is automatically adjusted
according to the current lighting conditions. This

means that the brightness and quality of the
image may vary slightly. Poor lighting conditions
may result in reduced image quality.

Recommended maintenance of the

Park Assist Camera

Each of the Park Assist Cameras, located above
the license plate, the grille and in both door mir-
rors, require a certain degree of maintenance.

Clean the camera lenses regularly using luke-
warm water and car washing detergent. Wash
gently to avoid scratching the lens.

Keep the camera lens free of dirt, snow and
ice to help ensure the best functionality. This
is particularly important in poor light condi-
tions.

Park Assist Pilot*

Park Assist Pilot (PAP

122

) helps the driver pull

into and out of parking spaces.

PAP first checks whether there
is sufficient space and then
steers the car into the space.

The center display uses sym-
bols, graphics and messages to
inform the driver of what steps

need to be taken and when.

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.

•

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.

Types of parking with Park Assist Pilot
(p. 409)

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.

Parallel parking

Overview 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.

The PAP function

Park Out

cannot help the

vehicle leave a perpendicular parking space –
the function should only be used for parallel
parking.

Parking 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.

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).

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.

Parking

PAP 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.

Park Assist Pilot

DRIVER SUPPORT

412

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

Perpendicular

parking

and engage reverse gear.

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.

•

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.

Leaving a parking space with Park

Assist Pilot

The function

Park Out

can also help the driver

to leave a parking space.

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.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

414

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.

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.

•

The driver should be aware of the following limi-
tations for Park Assist Pilot:

The parking sequence is cancelled

A 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.

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
reduce their function and can make measure-
ment impossible.

Driver responsibility

The 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 vehicle's original, factory-installed tires.
