S90 Twin Engine Parking with Park Assist Pilot

Note

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 display
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).

Note

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:

The system searches for and measures potential parking spaces.
The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space.
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.

P5-1507-Parallel parking Scan + Stop — Parallel parking overview.

P5-1507-Perpendicular parking Scan + Stop PAP — Perpendicular parking overview.

To do so:

The vehicle's speed may not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph) when parallel parking or 20 km/h (12 mph) when perpendicular parking.

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.

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.

Select Parallel parking or Perpendicular parking and engage reverse gear.

Note

PAP searches for space for parking, shows instructions and guides the vehicle on its passenger 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

P5-1507-Parallel parking reverse — Parallel.

P5-1507-Perpendicular parking reverse PAP — Perpendicular.

To back into a parking space:

Make sure the path behind your vehicle is clear and engage reverse gear.

Back up slowly and carefully without touching the steering wheel and do not exceed a speed of 7 km/h (4 mph).

Be prepared to stop the vehicle when instructed to do so by a graphic and message in the center display.

Note

Keep your hands away from the steering wheel when the PAP function is activated.
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

P5-1507-Parallel parking fixation — Parallel.

P5-1507-Perpendicular parking fixation PAP — Perpendicular.

To do so:

Move the gear selector to D, wait until the steering wheel turns and then drive slowly forward.

Be prepared to stop the vehicle when instructed to do so by a graphic and message in the center display.

Engage reverse gear and back up slowly.

Be prepared to stop the vehicle when instructed to do so by a graphic and message 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.

Important

The warning distance is shorter when the sensors are used by PAP compared to when they are used by the Parking Assist system.
