Park Assist Pilot*
WARNING
Park Assist Pilot (PAP100) can help the driver
maneuver the vehicle when parking. The
function can also assist with steering when
pulling out from a parallel parking space.
The function first checks whether there is suf-
ficient space and then helps the driver steer
the vehicle into the space.
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and help make it safer – it cannot han-
dle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions.
•
•
•
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual about this
function to learn of its limitations,
which the driver must be aware of
before using the function.
The center display uses symbols, graphics and
messages to inform the driver of what steps
need to be taken and when.
Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgment. The driver is always respon-
sible for ensuring the vehicle is driven
in a safe manner, at the appropriate
speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.

Using Park Assist Pilot*
Park Assist Pilot (PAP102) helps the driver
park using three different steps. The function
can also help the driver pull out of a parking
space.
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.
The function measures the space and steers
the vehicle. The driver's role is to:

The function searches for space for park-
ing, 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 vehi-
cle instead.

A parking sequence will be cancelled if:
Park Assist Pilot (PAP104) may not be able to
detect all conditions in all situations and func-
tionality may therefore be limited.

•

WARNING
Note that the steering wheel can "spring"
back when the procedure is completed and
the driver may need to turn the steering wheel
back to the maximum position in order to pull
out of the parking space.
The parking sensors have dead/blind
spots where objects cannot be
detected.

•
If the function determines that the driver can
pull out of the parking space without any extra
maneuvers, the function will be deactivated,
even if it seems as though the vehicle is not
completely out of the parking space.
Bear in mind that the front end of the
vehicle may swing out towards oncom-
ing traffic during the parking maneuver.

power – e.g. during cooling due to over-
heating.
•
A message in the center display will explain
why the parking sequence was cancelled.
Related information
•
Objects situated higher than the detection
area of the sensors are not included when
the parking maneuver is calculated, which
could cause the function to swing into the
parking space too early. Such parking
spaces should be avoided for this reason.
•
Under certain circumstances, the function
may not be able to find parking spaces –
one reason may be that the sensors are
disrupted by external sound sources that
emit the same ultrasonic frequencies that
the system works with.
The driver should be aware of the following
limitations for Park Assist Pilot:
Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,
exhaust noise from motorcycles, etc.

DRIVER SUPPORT
PAP may not suggest parking spaces on
narrow streets if it does not detect suffi-
cient space for maneuvering the vehicle.
Use approved tires105 inflated to the cor-
rect tire pressure because this affects the
function's ability to provide parking assis-
tance.
•
•
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
reduce their function and can make meas-
urement impossible.
Driver responsibility
The driver should keep in mind that the func-
tion is a parking aid ‒ not an infallible fully
automatic system. The driver must always be
prepared to take control and cancel a parking
sequence if necessary.
The function is based on the way the vehi-
cles 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.
•
There are a number of things to keep in mind
when parking, including:
Perpendicular parking spaces may not be
detected or may be suggested unneces-
sarily if a parked vehicle is sticking out
more than other parked vehicles.
•
•
The driver is always responsible for deter-
mining if the space suggested by the func-
tion is suitable for parking.
•
Do not use the function when using snow
chains or a temporary spare tire.
•
•
•
The function is intended to provide park-
ing assistance on straight streets, not sec-
tions of street with sharp curves or bends.
Always make sure that your vehicle is par-
allel to relevant parking spaces when the
function is measuring the parking space.
Do not use the function if there are any
objects protruding from the vehicle.
Heavy rain or snowfall may inhibit PAP's
ability to accurately measure a parking
space.

While searching and measuring the park-
ing space, the function may be unable to
detect objects located far into the space.
