Limitations Of Park Assist Pilot - Volvo XC90 TWIN ENGINE Owner's Manual

Limitations of Park Assist Pilot*

126
The Park Assist Pilot PAP function cannot
detect everything in all situations and may there-
fore have limited functionality.
WARNING
•
The PAP function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving – it
cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.
•
Be particularly aware of people and ani-
mals near the car.
•
Bear in mind that the front of the car may
swing out towards oncoming traffic dur-
ing the parking manoeuvre.
•
Objects situated higher than the sensor
detection area are not included when cal-
culating the parking manoeuvre, which
could cause PAP to swing into the park-
ing space too early – such parking
spaces should be avoided for this reason.
•
PAP is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgement. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appropri-
ate speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.
Park Assist Pilot
126
A driver should be aware about the following
examples of Park Assist Pilot limitations:
Parking is discontinued
A parking sequence will be discontinued:
•
if the driver moves the steering wheel
•
if the car is driven too quickly - above 7 km/h
(4 mph)
•
if the driver presses Cancel
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").
Where applicable, a message in the centre dis-
play states the reason for a parking sequence
being discontinued.
IMPORTANT
Under certain circumstances, PAP is unable
to find parking spaces - one reason for this
may be the fact that there is interference with
the sensors from external sound sources
which emit the same ultrasound frequencies
as those with which the system works.
Examples of such sources include horns, wet
in the centre
tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and
exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors will
reduce their function and may prevent meas-
urement.
Driver responsibility
The driver should bear in mind that the PAP is an
aid – not an infallible, fully-automatic function.
The driver must therefore be prepared to inter-
rupt a parking step.
