tioning system contains 1.8 lbs (820 g) of
R134a. The systems uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment filterReplace the cabin air filter with a new one at
the recommended intervals. Please refer to
your Warranty and Service Records Informa-
tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for these intervals.
The filter should be replaced more often when
driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The
filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should
always be replaced with a new one.
NOTE
There are different types of cabin air filters.
Ensure that the correct type is installed.
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles
in the incoming air, thereby reducing the levels
of odors and contaminants entering the vehi-
cle. The air quality sensor detects increased
levels of contaminants in the outside air. When
the air quality sensor detects contaminated
outside air, the air intake closes and the air
inside the passenger compartment is recircu-
lated, i.e. no outside air enters the vehicle. The
filter also cleans recirculated passenger com-
partment air.
NOTE
Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter
replacement intervals.
Materials used in the cabinThe materials used in the cabin have been
developed to help minimize the amount of dust
and make the cabin easier to keep clean. All
floor mats can be easily removed for cleaning.
Use car cleaning products recommended by
Volvo. See also the information beginning on
page 328.
Menu settingsThe default settings for four of the climate sys-
tem's functions can be changed in the menu
system.
•Blower speed in automatic mode.
•Recirculation timer for passenger com-
partment air.
•Automatic rear window defrosting.
•The optional Interior Air Quality System
(IAQS).
The functions can also be returned to factory
settings in the menu system.
See page 133 for a description of the menu
system.
Air distribution
The incoming air is distributed from a number
of different vents in the passenger compart-
ment.
Air distribution is fully automatic in AUTO
mode.
If desired, air distribution can be controlled
manually, see page 146.

Active chassis system–Four C*
04
152* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Active chassis (Four C)
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Con-
trolled Chassis Concept), regulates the cha-
racteristics of the shock absorbers so that the
car's driving characteristics can be adjusted.
There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and
Advanced.
ComfortComfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride
and the transmission shifts gears at lower rpm.
This mode is particularly suitable for long-dis-
tance highway driving. The indicator light in the
button will be on when this mode is selected.
SportIn this mode, the vehicle's body sway is
reduced during cornering and steering
response is more immediate. The transmission
shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driving. The
indicator light in the button will be on to indi-
cate that Sport mode has been selected.
AdvancedIn this mode, body sway in curves is minimal
and steering response is very direct. Gear shift-
ing is done at high rpm in each gear for
dynamic and active driving.
Operation
Chassis settings
Use the buttons in the center console to
change setting. The setting in use when the
engine is switched off is activated the next time
the engine is started.
Speed-dependent steering force*
Steering force increases with the speed of the
vehicle to give the driver enhanced sensitivity.
At low speed the vehicle is easy to steer in
order to facilitate parking, etc.
Steering force can be changed under MY CAR
Car settingsSteering wheel force.
Select
Low, Medium or High. For a descrip-
tion of the menu system, see page 133.
NOTE
This steering force level menu function can-
not be accessed when the vehicle is in
motion.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
04
158* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
When the symbol on the
left side of the display
changes to
, the radar sen-
sor has detected another
vehicle ahead. The distance
to a vehicle ahead is only
regulated when this symbol (
) is illumi-
nated.
Changing the set speedAfter a speed has been set, it can be increased
or decreased by using the
or buttons.
Each time one of these buttons is pressed, the
vehicle's speed changes by 5 mph
(approximately 8 km/h).
When the system is in active mode, the
but-
ton has the same function as
, but results in
a smaller increase in speed.
NOTE
•If one of the Adaptive Cruise Control
buttons is pressed for more than
approximately one minute, ACC will be
deactivated. The engine must then be
switched off and restarted to reset ACC.
•In some situations Adaptive Cruise
Control cannot be put in active mode.
Cruise control Unavailable is shown
in the display, see page 163.
Setting a time intervalThe set time interval to vehicles ahead can be
increased by pressing
and decreased by
pressing
. The current time interval is shown
briefly in the display following adjustment.
Different time intervals can be
selected and are shown in the
display as 1–5 horizontal bars.
The greater the number of
bars, the longer the time inter-
val. One bar represents a time
interval of approximately
1 second; 5 bars is approximately
2.5 seconds. At low speeds, when the distance
to the vehicle ahead is short, ACC increases
the time interval slightly. In order to follow the
vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible, ACC
allows the time interval to vary considerably in
certain situations.
WARNING
•Only use a time interval that is suitable
in current traffic conditions.
•A short time interval gives the driver lim-
ited reaction time if an unexpected sit-
uation occurs in traffic.
The number of bars indicating the selected
time interval are shown while the setting is
being made and for several seconds afterward.
A smaller version of the symbol is then shown
to the right in the display. The same symbol is
also displayed when Distance Alert is in active
mode, see page 165 .
Standby mode (temporary deactivation)
Press to temporarily deactivate cruise con-
trol (put it in standby mode). The set speed, for
example 55 mph, is then shown in parenthe-
ses.
The previously set speed and time interval are
resumed by pressing
.
WARNING
There may be a significant increase in speed
after the button has been pressed.
When ACC is in active mode, the vehicle’s
speed increases by approximately 1 mph
(1 km/h) each additional time
is pressed.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
04
160* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Automatic standby mode when ACC
changes target vehicles
If the vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be
a stationary vehicle ahead
The following only applies at speeds below
approximately 18 mph (30 km/h):
If ACC changes target vehicles (the vehicle that
the radar sensor has detected) from a moving
vehicle to a stationary one, the system will
apply the brakes in your vehicle.
WARNING
At speeds above 18 mph (30 km/h), ACC
will not react to a stationary vehicle and
apply the brakes but will instead accelerate
to the previously set speed. The driver must
actively apply the brakes to stop the vehicle.
ACC disengages and goes into standby mode
if:
•Your vehicle's speed goes below 10 mph
(15 km/h) and ACC cannot determine if the
target object is a stationary vehicle or some
other type of object such as e.g., a speed
bump.
•Your vehicle's speed goes below 10 mph
(15 km/h) and the vehicle ahead turns so
that ACC no longer has a target vehicle to
follow.
No automatic braking when at a
standstill
In certain situations, ACC will no longer apply
the brakes and go into standby mode while the
vehicle is not moving. This means that the
driver will have to apply the brakes.
This happens if:
•The driver presses the brake pedal
•The parking brake is activated
•The gear selected is moved to P,N or R
•The driver presses the button to put
ACC in standby mode
The parking brake is applied
automatically
In certain situations, ACC will apply the parking
brake in order to continue keeping the vehicle
at a standstill.
This happens if:
•The driver opens the door or takes off
his/her seat belt
•DSTC is put in Sport mode (see page 149)
•ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstill for
more than 2 minutes
•The engine has been switched off
•The brakes have overheated
Turning ACC off completely
•From standby mode, press once.
•From active mode, press twice.
The set speed and time interval are then
cleared from the system's memory and cannot
be resumed by pressing
.
The radar sensor and its limitations
In addition to being used by ACC, the radar
sensor is also used by Distance Alert (see
page 165) and Collision Warning with Full
Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection (see
page 173). This sensor is designed to detect
cars or larger vehicles driving in the same
direction as your vehicle, in the same lane.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure
Collision warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection*
04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.173 Introduction
Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and
Pedestrian Detection is designed to assist the
driver if there is a risk of a collision with a
pedestrian, a vehicle ahead that is at a stand-
still or one that is moving in the same direction
as your vehicle.
Collision Warning consists of the following
three functions:
•Collision Warning warns the driver of a
potential collision situation.
•Brake Support helps the driver brake effi-
ciently in a critical situation.
•Auto-brake brakes the vehicle automati-
cally if a collision with a pedestrian or
another vehicle cannot be avoided and the
driver does not apply the brakes in time or
steer around the person/vehicle. Auto-
brake can help prevent a collision or
reduce the speed at which a collision
occurs.
Since Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake
and Pedestrian Detection is activated in cir-
cumstances where the driver should have
begun braking much sooner, the system will
not be able to assist the driver in all situations.
This system is designed to activate as late as
possible to help avoid unnecessary interven-
tion.The system should not be used in such a way
that the driver changes his/her way of operat-
ing the vehicle. If the driver relies entirely on the
system, the chances of an accident eventually
occurring increase considerably.
The Collision Warning and City Safety™ sys-
tems supplement each other. See page 168 for
detailed information about City Safety™.
WARNING
No automatic system can be guaranteed to
function 100% correctly in all situations. For
that reason, never test the Auto-brake sys-
tem by driving toward a person or object.
This could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
•Collision Warning does not work in all
driving, traffic, weather and road condi-
tions. It does not react to vehicles not
traveling in the same direction as your
vehicle.
•Collision Warning does not react to ani-
mals.
•Warnings are only provided when the
risk of collision is high. The "Function"
section provides information about lim-
itations that the driver must be aware of
before using Collision Warning.
•Collision Warning will not provide a
warning or brake the vehicle for pedes-
trians at speeds above 50 mph
(80 km/h).
