The PAP parking sequence is cancelled
A parking sequence will be cancelled:
- if the vehicle is driven too fast: above approx. 4 mph (7 km/h)
- if the driver taps Cancel in the center display
- if the driver moves the steering wheel with sufficient force.
- if the anti-lock brakes or Electronic Stability Control are activated (e.g., if a wheel begins to spin or lose traction)
In such cases, a text message will explain why the parking sequence was cancelled.
Note
- PAP will not function correctly if its sensors are obstructed by dirt, snow, etc.
- In certain situations, PAP may not be able to measure a parking space. This could be due to external sources of sound (e.g., a vehicle's horn, tires on wet asphalt, pneumatic brakes, noise from a motorcycle's exhaust, etc.) emitting ultrasound using approximately the same frequencies as PAP.
Points to keep in mind
PAP is a parking aid only and the driver should always be prepared to take control and cancel a parking sequence. This can be due to one or more of the following factors:
- PAP's function is based on the way that the vehicles 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.
- PAP is intended to provide parking assistance on straight streets, not sections of street with curved or irregular curbs. Be sure that your vehicle is parallel to the curb when PAP measures the parking space.
- PAP may not be able to provide parking assistance on narrow streets due to lack of space to maneuver the vehicle. In situations like this, it may help to drive between 1.5-5.0 ft (0.5-1.5 m) from the side of the road where the parking space is located.
- Use only approved tires with the correct inflation pressure because this affects PAP's capacity to provide parking assistance. Changing to a different approved tire size may affect PAP's parameters. Consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
- Heavy rain or snow may inhibit PAP's capacity to correctly measure a parking space.
- Do not use PAP when using snow chains and/or a temporary spare tire.
- Do not use PAP if there are any objects protruding from the vehicle.
Warning
- The front end of your vehicle may turn out toward oncoming traffic during the parking procedure.
- Objects located above the parking sensors' field of vision are not included when PAP measures a parking space. For this reason, PAP may turn into the parking space too soon. Avoid parking spaces of this type.
- The driver is always responsible for determining if PAP has selected a suitable parking space.
Maintenance
In order for PAP to function correctly, these sensors must be cleaned regularly with water and a suitable car washing detergent.
