The information displays show information on some of the vehicle's functions, such as cruise control, the trip
computer and messages. The information is shown with text and symbols.
More detailed information can be found in the descriptions of the functions that use the information displays.
Gauges
Speedometer
Fuel gauge, see also the section on refueling beginning on page 175.
The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive continuously with
the needle in the red area of the gauge. The engine management system will automatically prevent excessively high
engines speeds. This will be noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in engine speed.

Engaging the cruise control function
Before a speed can be set, the cruise control system must be engaged (put in standby mode).
To do so, press CRUISE . The symbol
illuminates and the text (---) mph indicates that cruise control is in standby
mode.
NOTE
This does not set the vehicle's speed.
Setting a speed
Use the
or buttons set the vehicle's current speed. The set speed is shown in the display.
NOTE
Cruise control cannot be engaged at speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h).

Adjusting the set speed
After a speed has been set, it can be increased or decreased by using the
or buttons.
Press and hold down or until the vehicle reaches the desired speed. This will become the set speed when the
button is released.
Press or r for approximately a half second and release the button to increase or decrease vehicle speed by
approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
NOTE
A temporary increase in speed, for less than 1 minute (e.g. when passing another car), does not affect the current
cruise control setting. The vehicle will automatically return to the previously set speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
If one of the cruise control buttons is kept depressed for more than approx. 1 minute cruise control is disengaged.
The engine must then be switched off in order to reset cruise control.
Automatic deactivation
Cruise control is automatically deactivated temporarily if one of the following occurs:
If the speed drops below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the brake pedal is depressed.
If the gear selector is moved to position N.
During wheel spin or wheel lock-up.
If the vehicle's speed is increased by using the accelerator pedal for more than 1 minute.
The currently set speed will be saved in the system's memory.

Temporary deactivation
The driver can temporarily deactivate cruise control by pressing 0. The saved speed is shown in brackets in the
information display.
Resume set speed
If cruise control has been deactivated temporarily, it can be reactivated by pressing
. The vehicle's speed returns to
the most recently set speed.
WARNING
There may be a significant increase in speed after the
button has been pressed.
Deactivation
Cruise control is disengaged with CRUISE , by putting the gear selector in Neutral, or by switching off the engine. The
set speed is cleared.
WARNING

Cruise control should not be used in heavy traffic or when driving on wet or slippery roads. Cruise control may not
maintain set speed on steep downgrades.

Adaptive Cruise Control-ACC
Introduction
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an optional system designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed or a set
distance to the vehicle ahead. It is primarily intended for use on long straight roads in steady traffic, such as on
highways and other main roads.
WARNING
Do not use the adaptive cruise control system in demanding driving conditions such as city traffic, winding roads,
at intersections, on slippery surfaces, in poor visibility, heavy rain, etc.
Maintenance of cruise control components must only be performed by an authorized Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions. The Function
section provides information about limitations that the driver must be aware of before using the adaptive cruise
control.
This system is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It is not, however, intended to replace the driver's
attention and judgement. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance and speed and must intervene if
adaptive cruise control does not maintain a suitable speed or suitable distance.
Function
Warning light, braking by driver required
Controls
Radar sensor in front grille
Adaptive cruise control consists of:
A cruise control system to maintain a set speed
A system to maintain a set distance to the vehicle ahead (expressed as a time interval. For example, you can choose
ProCarManuals.com

to remain approximately 2 seconds behind the vehicle ahead).

Adaptive Cruise Control-ACC
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsible for applying the
brakes if the system does not detect another vehicle.
Adaptive cruise control does not react to slow moving or stationary vehicles.
The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same lane) is measured by a radar sensor. Your vehicle's speed is regulated by
acceleration and braking. The brakes may emit a sound when they are being modulated by the adaptive cruise control
system. This is normal.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control system modulates the brakes. Do not rest your foot under
the brake pedal.
The adaptive cruise control system is designed to follow the vehicle ahead of you in the same lane, at a set time
interval.
If the radar sensor has not detected a vehicle ahead, the system will then attempt to maintain the set speed. This is also
the case if the speed of the vehicle ahead exceeds the speed that you have set.
The adaptive cruise control system is designed to smoothly regulate speed. However, the driver must apply the brakes
in situations that require immediate braking. This applies when there are great differences in speed between vehicles,
or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
WARNING
Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all, see page 146
.
Adaptive cruise control can only be activated at speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h). If speed falls below 20 mph (30
km/h) or if engine speed (rpm) becomes too low, adaptive cruise control disengages and will no longer modulate the
brakes. In situations when adaptive cruise control cannot be activated Cruise Control Unavailable is shown in the
display, see page 149
.
WARNING
When adaptive cruise control disengages, the brakes will not be modulated automatically. The driver must assume
full control over the vehicle.
Warning light -driver braking required
Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to approximately 30% of the vehicle's total braking
capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than ACC can provide, if the driver does not apply the brakes, an
audible signal will sound and a red warning light will illuminate in the windshield.
