Volvo XC90: Driver support / Using Park Assist Pilot
(Option/accessory.)
Park Assist Pilot (PAP1) helps the driver park using three different
steps. The function can also help the driver pull out of a parking space.
The 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) – an audible signal indicates when the driver
needs to change gears
- regulating and maintaining a safe speed
- applying the brakes and stopping the vehicle.
Information about the actions required by the driver are provided in the center
display using symbols, graphics and/or text.
The function 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 the function is looking for parking.
Parking with Park Assist Pilot
The function helps park 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 and apply the brakes).
Searching 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.
- GREEN button indicator light – the function is activated.
- GRAY button indicator light – the function is deactivated.

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.
- The function 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
The function 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

- 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 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.

- Be prepared to apply the brakes 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.
CAUTION
The warning distance is shorter when the sensors are used by Park Assist
Pilot (PAP1) compared to when they are used by the Parking Assist system.
Auto-brake during a parking sequence
If, while parking, the parking sensors detect a vehicle or pedestrian in the
vehicle's intended direction of travel behind or in front of the vehicle, the auto-brake
function will bring the vehicle to a standstill.
A pop-up message will then appear in the instrument panel and the driver can
tap Cancel to cancel the parking sequence or Resume to continue the
parking sequence.
