190* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
If the car needs to be braked more heavily than cruise control capacity and the driverdoes not brake, then cruise control uses thewarning lamp and warning sound from theCollision warning system (p. 212) in order toalert the driver that immediate intervention isrequired.
NOTE
The warning lamp may be difficult to see in strong sunlight or when wearing sun-glasses.
WARNING
Cruise Control warns only of vehicles which the radar sensor has detected.Hence the warning may not be given, or itmay be given with a certain delay. Do notwait for a warning without braking when sorequired.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadBear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving onlevel road surfaces. It may have difficulty inkeeping the correct distance from the vehicleahead when driving on steep downhill slopes,with a heavy load or with a trailer - in whichcase, be extra attentive and ready to slowdown.

The same symbol is also shown when Dis- tance Warning (p. 202) function is activated.
NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations. If Cruise Control does not appear to react when activated, this may be because thetime distance to the car in front is prevent-ing an increase in speed. The higher the speed the longer the calcu- lated distance in metres for a given timeinterval.

Adaptive cruise control* - temporary deactivation, and standby mode
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead. The cruise control can be tempo-rarily deactivated and set in standby mode.
Temporary deactivation - standby mode
with Speed limiter
To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruisecontrol and set it in standby mode:
• Press the steering wheel button
This symbol and the stored speed's marking then change colour fromGREEN to WHITE.
Temporary deactivation - standby mode without Speed limiter
To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruise control and set it in standby mode:
• Press the steering wheel button
Standby mode due to driver interventionCruise control is temporarily disengaged and set in standby mode if:
• the foot brake is used
• the clutch pedal is depressed for longer than 1 minute 9 •
the gear selector is moved to
N position
(automatic gearbox)
• the driver maintains a speed higher than the set speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then regulate the speed. A temporary increase in speed with the accel- erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does notaffect the cruise control setting - the carreturns to the last stored speed when theaccelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby modeThe adaptive cruise control is dependent onother systems, e.g. DSTC (Stability and trac-tion control system) (p. 175). If any of thesesystems stop working then cruise control isautomatically deactivated. In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message
Cruise control
Cancelled is shown in the combined instru-
ment panel. The driver must then intervene and adapt the speed and distance to thevehicle ahead. An automatic deactivation can be due to:
• the driver opens the door
• the driver takes off his seatbelt
• engine speed is too low/high
• speed has fallen below 30 km/h 10
9
Disengaging and selecting a higher or lower gear does not involve standby mode.
10 Does not apply to a car with Queue Assistant - it manages right down to stationary.

Adaptive cruise control* - overtaking another vehicle
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead. When the car is following another vehicle and the driver indicates an impending overtaking manoeuvre with the direction indicator 11
, the
adaptive cruise control helps to briefly accel- erate the car towards the vehicle in front. This function is active at speeds above 70 km/h.
WARNING
Be aware that this function can be acti- vated in more situations other than duringovertaking, e.g. when a direction indicatoris used to indicate a change of lane or exitto another road - the car will then acceler-ate briefly.

WARNING
When the cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds in excess of
30 km/h and the target is changed from amoving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, thecruise control will ignore the stationaryvehicle and instead select the storedspeed. • The driver must intervene him/herself and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change of target
The adaptive cruise control is disengaged and set in standby mode:
• when the speed is below 5 km/h and cruise control is not sure whether the tar-get object is a stationary vehicle or someother object, e.g. a speed bump.
• when the speed is below 5 km/h and thevehicle in front turns off so the cruisecontrol no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Termination of automatic braking at a
standstill
In certain situations, Queue Assist stops automatic braking at a standstill. This meansthat the brakes are released and the car maystart to roll - the driver must therefore inter-vene and brake the car himself/herself inorder to maintain its position. Queue Assist releases the foot brake and setsthe adaptive cruise control in standby modein the following situations:
• the driver puts his/her foot on the brake pedal
• the parking brake is applied
• the gear selector is moved to
P, N or R
position
• the driver sets the cruise control instandby mode.
Automatic activation parking brakeIn certain situations Queue Assist applies the parking brake in order to keep the car remain-ing stationary. This takes place if:
• the driver opens the door or takes off his/her seatbelt
• DSTC is changed from
Normal to Sport
mode
• Queue Assist has held the car stationaryfor more than 4 minutes
• the engine is switched off
• the brakes have overheated.

> By these means the standard cruise con- trol (p. 185) CC (Cruise Control) is activated.
WARNING
The car no longer brakes automatically after switching from ACC to CC - it merelyfollows the set speed.
Changing back from CC to ACCSwitch off cruise control with 1-2 presses on
in accordance with the deactivation
instructions (p. 194). The next time the sys- tem is switched on it is the Adaptive cruisecontrol that is activated.

Radar sensor
The function of the radar sensor is to detect cars or larger vehicles in the same direction,in the same lane. The radar sensor is used by the following functions: •Adaptive cruise control*
• Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Pedestrian Detection*
• Distance Warning*
Related information
• Radar sensor - limitations (p. 197)

• Collision warning system* (p. 212)
• Distance Warning* (p. 202)
Radar sensor - limitations
A radar sensor (p. 197) has certain limitations, due to its limited field of vision for example. The capacity of the radar sensor to detect vehicles in front is reduced significantly:
• if the radar sensor becomes blocked and cannot detect other vehicles e.g. in heavyrain or slush, or if other objects have col-lected in front of the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean - see subheading "Maintenance" (p.217).
• if the speed of vehicles in front is signifi- cantly different from your own speed.
Field of visionThe radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations another vehicle is notdetected, or the detection is made later thanexpected.

ACC field of vision.
Sometimes the radar sensor is late at detecting vehicles at close distances, e.g.a vehicle that drives in between the carand vehicles in front.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles not driving in the centre of thelane can remain undetected.
In bends the radar sensor may detect the wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehiclefrom view.
WARNING
The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and inter-vene when the adaptive cruise control isnot maintaining a suitable speed or suita-ble distance. The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. Read all the sections about the adaptive cruise control in the owner's manual inorder to learn about its limitations, ofwhich the driver should be aware before itis used. The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance andspeed, even when the adaptive cruise con-trol is being used.
WARNING
Accessories or other objects such as auxil- iary lamps must not be fitted in front of thegrille.
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must inter-vene if the system does not detect a vehi-cle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for smallvehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-cles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationaryvehicles and objects. Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, atjunctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lotof water or slush on the road, in heavyrain/snow, in poor visibility, on windingroads or on slip roads.
IMPORTANT
In the event of visible damage to the car's grille, or if you suspect that the radar sen-sor may be damaged:
• Contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
The function may completely or partially disappear - or malfunction - if the grille,the radar sensor or its bracket is damagedor has loosened.

Adaptive cruise control* - fault tracing and action
The adaptive cruise control (p. 188) (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver tomaintain an even speed and a safe distancefrom the vehicle ahead. If the combined instrument panel shows the message
Radar blocked See manual this means that the radar signals from the radar sensor (p. 197) are blocked and that vehiclesin front of the car cannot be detected. In turn this means that - apart from Adaptive Cruise Control - Distance Warning (p. 202)and Collision Warning (p. 212) with AutoBrake are not operating either.
The following table presents examples ofpossible causes for a message being shownalong with the appropriate action:
CauseAction
The radar surface in the grille is dirty or covered with ice or snow.Clean the radar surface in the grille from dirt, ice and snow.
Heavy rain or snow blocking the radar signals.No action. Sometimes the radar does not work during heavy rain or snowfall.
Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the radar signals.No action. Sometimes the radar does not work on a very wet or snowy road surface.
The radar surface has been cleaned but the message remains.Wait. It could take several minutes for the radar to sense that it is no longer blocked.

Distance Warning*
Distance Warning (Distance Alert) is a function that informs the driver about the time intervalto vehicles in front. Distance Warning is active at speeds above 30 km/h and only reacts to vehicles driving infront of the car, in the same direction. No dis-tance information is provided for oncoming,slow or stationary vehicles.
Orange-coloured warning lamp 12
.
An orange-coloured warning lamp in the
windscreen illuminates with a constant glow if the distance to the vehicle in front is shorterthan the set time interval.
NOTE
Distance warning is deactivated during the time the adaptive cruise control is active.
WARNING
Distance warning only reacts if the dis- tance to the vehicle ahead is shorter thanthe preset value - the speed of the driver'svehicle is not affected.
Operation
Press the button in the centre console to switch the function on or off. The function isswitched on if one lamp is illuminated in thebutton. Some combinations of the selected equip- ment leave no vacant space for a button inthe centre console - in which case the func- tion is handled by the car's menu system
