Volvo XC90 2018 Owner's Manual page 409

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
as the steering servo for speed-dependent
•
steering wheel resistance is working at
reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to
overheating.
Where applicable, a message in the centre dis-
play states the reason for a parking sequence
being discontinued.
"Approved tyres" refers to tyres of the same type and make as those fitted new on delivery from the factory.

IMPORTANT
Under certain circumstances, the function is
unable to find parking spaces - one reason
for this may be the fact that there is interfer-
ence with the sensors from external sound
sources which emit the same ultrasound fre-
quencies as those with which the system
works.
in the centre
Examples of such sources include horns, wet
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 function is
an aid – not an infallible, fully-automatic function.
The driver must therefore be prepared to inter-
rupt a parking step.
DRIVER SUPPORT
There are also a few details to bear in mind while
parking, e.g.:
The driver is always responsible for determin-
•
ing whether the space selected by the func-
tion is suitable for parking.
Do not use the function if snow chains or a
•
spare wheel are fitted.
Do not use the function if cargo items are
•
protruding from the car.
Heavy rain or snow may cause the system to
•
measure the parking space incorrectly.
During the search and check-measurement
•
of the parking space, the function may miss
objects positioned deep in the parking space.
Parking spaces on narrow streets are not
•
always feasible, since the space required for
manoeuvring may not be sufficient.
Use approved tyres 113 with the correct tyre
•
pressure - this affects the ability of the func-
tion to park the car.
The function bases itself on the locations of
•
vehicles already parked nearby – if they are
inappropriately parked, your own car's tyres
and wheel rims may be damaged by contact
with the kerb.
