NOTE
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.
122 "Approved tires" refers to tires of the same type and make as the vehicle's original, factory-installed tires.
• 122
Use approved tires 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.
