Incorrect position, the head restraint must be adjusted as high as the head and the seatbeltmust not be below the shoulder.
Check before driving that:
• the integrated two-stage booster seat is correctly set in accordance with the table(p. 45) and in locked position
• the seatbelt is in contact with the child'sbody and is not slack or twisted
• the seatbelt does not lie across thechild's throat or below the shoulder (seepreceding illustrations)
• the lap section of the seatbelt is posi-tioned low over the pelvis to provide opti-mal protection.
Adjusting the booster seat's two levels is per-
formed by raising (p. 45) and lowering (p. 46).
WARNING
Volvo recommends that repair or replace- ment is only carried out by an authorisedVolvo workshop. Do not make any modifi-cations or additions to the booster cush-ion. If an integrated booster cushion hasbeen subjected to a major load, such as inconjunction with a collision, the entirebooster cushion must be replaced. Even ifthe booster cushion appears to be undam-aged, it may not afford the same level ofprotection. The booster cushion must alsobe replaced if it is heavily worn.
WARNING
If the instructions for the two-stage booster seat are not followed then thechild could sustain serious injury in theevent of an accident.

Manual lowering of the outer head restraints, rear seat
Pull the locking handle closest to the head restraint to fold the head restraint forward. The head restraint is moved back manually until a "click" can be heard.
WARNING
The head restraints must be in locked position after being raised.
Lowering the rear seat backrest
IMPORTANT
There must be no objects on the rear seat when the backrest is to be folded down.The seat belts must not be connectedeither. Otherwise there is a risk of damag-ing the rear seat upholstery.
The triple-section backrest can be folded in different ways.
NOTE
The front seats may need to be pushed forwards, and/or the backrests adjustedupwards, in order that the rear backrestscan be folded forward fully.
•The left-hand section can be folded sepa- rately.
• The centre section can be folded sepa-rately.
• The right-hand section can only be foldedtogether with the centre section.
• If the entire backrest is to be folded thenthe different sections should be foldedseparately.If the centre backrest is being lowered - release and adjust the head restraint forthe centre backrest, see the earlier sec-tion "Head restraint, centre seat, rear".
The outer head restraints are lowered automatically when the outer backrestsare lowered. Pull up the backrest's lock- ing handle
while folding the backrest
forward at the same time. A red indicator on the lock catch
shows that the
backrest is no longer locked in place.
NOTE
When the backrests have been lowered the head restraints must be moved for-ward slightly so as not to make contactwith the seat cushion.
Raising takes place in reverse order.

To simplify loading (p. 142) in the cargo area, the rear seat backrest can be folded down.The passenger seat backrest can also be folded for an extra long load2
.
Lowering the rear seat backrestTo simplify loading in the cargo area, the rear seat backrest can be folded down, see Seats,rear (p. 74).
Roof load
The load carriers recommended for roof loads are the ones developed by Volvo. This is inorder to avoid damage to the car and in orderto achieve the maximum possible safety dur-ing a journey. Carefully follow the installation instructions supplied with the carriers.
• Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Lash theload securely with retaining straps.
• Distribute the load evenly over the loadcarriers. Put the heaviest objects at thebottom.
• The size of the area exposed to the wind,and therefore fuel consumption, increasewith the size of the load.
• Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,heavy braking and hard cornering.
WARNING
The car's centre of gravity and driving cha- racteristics are altered by roof loads. Forinformation about the maximum allowableload on the roof, including load carriersand any space box, Weights (p. 390).

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

Disengaging and selecting a higher or lower gear does not involve standby mode.

Adaptive Cruise Control* - Queue Assist
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead. Queue Assist also provides theAdaptive Cruise Control with enhanced func-tionality at speeds below 30 km/h.. In cars with automatic gearbox the adaptive cruise control is supplemented with theQueue Assist function (also referred to as"Queue Assist"). Queue Assistant has the following functions:
• Extended speed range - also below 30 km/h and when stationary
• Change of target
• Automatic braking ceases when station-ary
• Automatic activation parking brake.
Note that the lowest programmable speed for the adaptive cruise control is 30 km/h - eventhough it is capable of following another vehi-cle down to a standstill, a lower speed can-
not be selected.
Extended speed range
NOTE
In order to activate the cruise control the driver's door must be closed and the drivermust be wearing the seatbelt.
With an automatic gearbox, the adaptive cruise control can follow another vehiclewithin the range 0-200 km/h.
NOTE
Activation of the cruise control below 30 km/h requires a vehicle in front within areasonable distance.
For shorter stops in connection with inching in slow traffic or at traffic lights driving isautomatically resumed if the stops do notexceed about 3 seconds - if it takes longerbefore the car in front starts moving againthen the Adaptive cruise control is set instandby mode with automatic braking. Thedriver must then reactivate it in one of the fol-lowing ways:
• Press the steering wheel button
.
or
• Depress the accelerator pedal.
> The cruise control will then resume fol- lowing the vehicle in front.
NOTE
Queue Assist can hold the car stationary for a maximum of 4 minutes - then theparking brake is applied and Cruise Con-trol is disengaged.
• The driver has to release the parking brake before the cruise control can bereactivated.
Change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front.
When the adaptive cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h and
changes target from a moving to a stationaryvehicle, the cruise control will slow down forthe stationary vehicle.

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.
