Park assist camera - limitations

Bicycle racks or other accessories mounted
on the back of the car may obscure the line of
sight of the camera.

To bear in mind

Pay attention to the possibility that, even if it only
looks like a relatively small part of the image is
obscured, it could be a relatively large sector that
is hidden from view. Obstacles could thereby go
undetected until they are very close to the car.

•

Keep the camera lens free from dirt, ice and
snow.

•

Clean the camera lens regularly with luke-
warm water and car shampoo - take care not
to scratch the lens.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*

The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot)
helps the driver to park by first checking whether
a space is sufficiently large and then turning the
steering wheel and steering the car into the
space.

The combined instrument panel uses symbols,
graphics and text when elements are to be exe-
cuted.

The On/Off button is on the centre console.

Since a towbar is configured with the car's
electrical system, towbar protrusion is
included when the function measures the dis-
tance to an object behind the car.

WARNING

•

The PAP function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving and
make it safer – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.

•

Be particularly aware of people and ani-
mals near the car.

•

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 (PAP)* - function

The combined instrument panel uses symbols,
graphics and text when elements are to be exe-
cuted.

The PAP function measures the space and
steers the car - the driver's task is to:

•

keep a close watch around the car

•

follow the instructions in the combined
instrument panel

•

change gear (reverse/forward)

•

control and maintain a safe speed

•

brake and stop.

PAP can be activated if the following criteria are
met once the engine has been started:

•

The functions ABS

or ESC

must not

intervene when the PAP function is activated
- these can be activated in the event of e.g.
steep and slippery surfaces, see the sections
on Foot brake (p. 289) and Stability system
ESC (p. 186) for more information.

•

Trailers must not be connected to the car.

•

Speed must be lower than 50 km/h
(30 mph).

Principle for PAP.

The PAP function parks the car using the follow-
ing steps:

1. The function searches for a parking space

and measures it - during measurement,
speed must not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph).

2. The car is steered into the space during

reversing.

3. The car is positioned in the space by means

of driving forward/backward.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - operation

The driver is instructed about how PAP works by
means of simple, clear instructions in the com-
bined instrument panel - using both graphics and
text graphics and text message (p. 268).

Remember that certain steering wheel posi-
tions may obstruct the combined instrument
panel's instructions when you turn it during
the parking manoeuvre.

1 - Searching and checking
measurements

The PAP function measures the space and
steers the car - the driver's task is to:

•

keep a close watch around the car

•

follow the instructions in the combined
instrument panel

•

change gear (reverse/forward)

•

control and maintain a safe speed

•

brake and stop.

The distance between the car and parking
spaces should be 0.5-1.5 metres (1.6-5.0 ft)
while PAP is searching for a parking space.

The PAP function searches for a parking space
and checks whether it is big enough. Proceed as
follows:

1. Activate PAP by pressing
this button and do not drive
faster than 30 km/h (20 mph).

2. Keep an eye on the combined instrument

panel and be prepared to stop the car when
the graphics and text message so request.

3. Stop the car when the graphics and text so

request.

PAP searches the area for parking, displays
instructions and guides the car in on its pas-
senger side. But if required the car can also
be parked on the driver's side of the street:

•

Activate the direction indicator to the
driver's side - then the system searches
for a parking space on that side of the
car instead.

2 - Reversing in

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

266

During the Reversing step, PAP will steer the car
into the parking space. Proceed as follows:

1. Check that the area behind the car is clear,

then engage reverse gear.

2. Reverse slowly and carefully without touching

the steering wheel - and no faster than
7 km/h (4 mph).

3. Keep an eye on the combined instrument

panel and be prepared to stop the car when
the graphics and text message so request.

•

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 optimum results - wait until
the steering wheel is fully turned before
starting to drive backward/forward.

3 - Positioning

When the car has reversed into the parking
space, it must be straightened up and stopped.

1. Engage first gear or D position, wait until the

steering wheel has been turned, then drive
slowly forwards.

2. Stop the car when the graphics and text

message so request.

3. Engage reverse gear and drive backwards

slowly until the graphics and text message
tell you to stop.

The function is deactivated automatically and the
graphics and message show that parking is com-
plete. It may be necessary for the driver to correct
the positioning. Only the driver can determine
whether the car is properly parked.

The warning distance is shorter when the
sensors are used by PAP compared with
when Park Assist uses the sensors.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - limitations

The PAP sequence is stopped:

•

if the car is driven too quickly - above 7 km/h
(4 mph)

•

if the driver touches the steering wheel

•

if the ABS

or ESC

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.

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors will
reduce their function and may prevent meas-
urement.

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
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-auto-
matic function. The driver must therefore be pre-
pared 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 inappropri-
ately 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 park-
ing situations, it helps the system 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 parking
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 suita-
ble for parking.

•

Use approved tyres

with the correct tyre

pressure - this affects the ability of PAP to
park the car.

•

Heavy rain or snow may cause the system to
measure the parking space incorrectly.

•

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.

(Anti-lock Braking System) - Anti-lock braking system.

(Electronic Stability Control) - Stability and traction control system.

"Approved tyres" refers to tyres of the same type and make as those fitted new on delivery from the factory.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

268

Changing to another approved wheel rim
and/or tyre dimension may involve a changed
tyre circumference, which means that the
PAP system's parameters may then need to
be updated. Consult a workshop - an author-
ised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Maintenance

The PAP sensors are located in the bumpers

- 6 front

and 4 rear.

For the PAP function to work correctly, its sen-
sors must be cleaned(p. 258) regularly with water
and car shampoo.

started or until its overheating protection triggers.

information on how this works, see Key posi-

If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts -
wait for 3 minutes before making a further
attempt. Starting capacity increases if the bat-
tery is allowed to recover.

WARNING

Always remove the remote control key from

the ignition switch when leaving the car, and

make sure that the key position is 0 - in par-

ticular if there are children in the car. For

tions (p. 80).

The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is done in order that the
emissions system can reach normal operating
temperature as quickly as possible, which
minimises exhaust emissions and protects the
environment.

Keyless starting (Keyless drive)

Follow steps 2–3 for keyless (p. 169) starting of
petrol and diesel engines.

Starting the engine (p. 270)

A prerequisite for the engine to start is that
one of the car's remote control keys with the
keyless start and lock function is in the pas-
senger compartment or cargo area.

WARNING

Never remove the remote control key from

the car while driving or during towing.

Jump starting

If the starter battery (p. 358) is discharged then
the car can be started with current from another
battery.

When jump starting the car, the following steps
are recommended to avoid short circuits or other
damage:

1. Set the car's electrical system in key position

0, see Key positions (p. 80).

2. Check that the donor battery has a voltage of

12 V.

3. If the donor battery is installed in another car

- switch off the donor car's engine and make
sure that the two cars do not touch each
other.

In cars with keyless start and lock system it is enough to have a remote control key inside the passenger compartment.

STARTING AND DRIVING

272

4. Connect one of the red jump lead's clamps

to the donor battery's positive terminal (1).

Connect the start cable carefully to avoid
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.

5. Open the clips on the front cover of the bat-

tery in your car and remove the cover.

6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp

onto the car's positive terminal (2).

7. Connect one of the black jump lead's clamps

to the donor battery's negative terminal (3).

8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding

point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting at the
top, the outer screw head (4).

9. Check that the jump lead clamps are affixed

securely so that there are no sparks during
the starting attempt.

10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and allow

it to run a few minutes at a speed slightly
higher than idle approx. 1500 rpm.

11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-

charged battery.

Starting the engine (p. 270)

Do not touch the connections between cable
and car during the starting attempt - this
would involve a risk of sparks.

12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -

first the black and then the red.
> Make sure that none of the black jump

lead's clamps comes into contact with the
battery's positive terminal or the clamp
connected to the red jump lead.

WARNING

•

The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark can
be formed if a jump lead is connected
incorrectly, and this can be enough for
the battery to explode.

•

The battery contains sulphuric acid, which
can cause serious burns.

•

If sulphuric acid comes into contact with
eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large
quantities of water. If acid splashes into
the eyes - seek medical attention imme-
diately.

Gearboxes

There are two main types of gearbox - Manual
and Automatic.

•

Manual gearbox (p. 273)

•

Automatic gearbox, Geartronic (p. 274)

Transmission fluid - grade and volume
(p. 393)

To prevent damage to any drive system com-
ponents, the working temperature of the
gearbox is checked. If there is a risk of over-
heating, a warning symbol in the combined
instrument panel lights up and a text mes-
sage is shown. Follow the recommendation
given in the text message.

Manual gearbox

The function of the gearbox is to change the
gear ratio depending on speed and power
requirements.

Gearing pattern.

The manual gearbox has 6 gears, the shifting
pattern is imprinted on the gear lever.

•

Depress the clutch pedal fully during each
gear change.

•

Take your foot off the clutch pedal between
gear changes.

WARNING

Always apply the parking brake when parking

on a slope - leaving the car in gear is not suf-

ficient to hold the car in all situations.

Reverse gear inhibitor

The reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possibility
of mistakenly attempting to engage reverse gear
during normal forward travel.

•

Follow the gearing pattern printed on the
gear lever and start from neutral position, N
before moving it to R position.

•

Engage reverse gear only when the car is
stationary.

Gear shift indicator*

The gear shift indicator notifies the driver when it
is appropriate to engage the next higher or lower
gear in order to obtain the lowest possible fuel
consumption.

An essential detail in connection with environ-
mental driving is to drive in the right gear and to
change gear in plenty of time.

An indicator is available as an aid on some vari-
ants - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) - which notifies
the driver when it is appropriate to engage the
next higher or lower gear in order to obtain the
lowest possible fuel consumption. However, tak-
ing into consideration characteristics such as
performance and vibration-free running, it may be
advantageous to change gear at a higher engine
speed.

Manual gearbox

Gear shift indicator for manual
gearbox. Only one marker is
illuminated at a time - it is illu-
minated in the centre only dur-
ing normal driving.

At the recommended upshift

the cursor illuminates "+", and at the recom-
mended downshift the cursor illuminates "-"
(marked red in the illustration).

Automatic gearbox

Combined instrument panel "Digital" with gear
shift indicator.

The framed number indicates the current gear.

With "Analogue" combined
instrument panel, the gear
positions and indicator arrows
are displayed in its centre.

Automatic gearbox - Geartronic*

The automatic gearbox Geartronic has a
hydraulic torque converter that transfers power
from engine to gearbox. It has two different gear
modes - Automatic and Manual.

D: Automatic gear positions. +/–: Manual gear positions.
S: Sport mode

The combined instrument panel shows the posi-
tion of the gear selector using the following indi-
cations:

etc.

Gear positions

Automatic gear positions are
indicated on the right of the
combined instrument panel.
(Only one marker is illuminated
at a time - the one showing the
current gear selector position.)

The gear lever's gearshift pattern varies depending on engine option.

STARTING AND DRIVING

}}

275

Symbol "S" for Sport mode is ORANGE when the
mode is active.

P – Parking position

Select P when starting the engine or when the
car is parked.

To be able to move the gear selector from the P
position, the brake pedal must be depressed and
the key position (p. 81) must be II.

The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P
position is engaged. Also apply the parking brake
when the car is parked, see Parking brake
(p. 291).

The gear selector must be in P position to
allow the car to be locked and alarmed.

The car must be stationary when position P is
selected.

WARNING

Always apply the parking brake when parking

on a slope - the automatic transmission in P

is not sufficient to hold the car in all situa-

tions.

R – Reverse

The car must be stationary when position R is
selected.

N – Neutral

No gear is engaged and the engine can be
started. Apply the parking brake if the car is sta-
tionary with the gear selector in position N.

In order to be able to move the gear selector
from the N position to another gear position, the
brake pedal must be depressed and the key posi-
tion (p. 81) must be II.

D – Drive

D is the normal driving position. Shifting up and
down takes place automatically based on the
level of acceleration and speed. The car must be
stationary when the gear selector is moved to
position D from position R.

Geartronic – Manual gear positions
(+/-)

The driver can also change gear manually using
the Geartronic automatic gearbox. The car
engine-brakes when the accelerator pedal is
released.

The manual gear position is reached by moving
the lever to the side from position D to the end
position at "+/-". The combined instrument pan-
el's symbol "+/-" changes colour from WHITE to
ORANGE and the digits

etc. are displayed

in a box which corresponds to the gear that has
just been selected.

•

Move the lever forwards towards + (plus) to
change up a gear and release the lever,
which returns to its neutral position between
"+" and "–".

•

Pull the lever back towards "–" (minus) to
change down a gear and release it.

The manual gearshift mode "+/-" can be
selected at any time while driving.

Geartronic automatically shifts down if the driver
allows the speed to decrease lower than a level
suitable for the selected gear, in order to avoid
jerking and stalling.

To return to automatic driving mode:

•

Move the lever to the side to the end position
at D.

f the gearbox has a Sport programme then
the gearbox will only become manual after the
lever has been moved forwards or backwards
in its "+/-" position. The combined instrument
panel then shifts the indication from

Paddles

As a supplement to manual gear changing with
the gear selector there are also controls located
on the steering wheel, so-called "paddles".

To be able to change gear with the steering
wheel paddles they must first be activated. This is
by means of pulling one of the paddles toward
the steering wheel - the combined instrument
panel then changes indication from "D" to a fig-
ure, which indicates the current gear.

To then change gear one step:

•

Pull one of the paddles backwards - towards
the steering wheel - and release.

Both steering wheel "paddles".

"-": Selects the next lower gear.

"+": Selects the next higher gear.

A gear change occurs at each pull of the paddle
provided that the engine speed does not leave
the permitted range.

After each gear change the combined instrument
panel changes figure to show the current gear.
