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

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.

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.

Park assist camera
The parking camera is an assist system and is activated when reverse gear is engaged (canbe changed in the settings menu (p. 246)). The camera image is shown on the centre console's screen.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's electrical system, the protrusion of thetowbar is included when the functionmeasures the parking space.
WARNING
• The parking camera serves as an aid. It does not relieve the driver of respon-sibility when reversing.
• The camera has blind spots, whereobstacles cannot be detected.
• Be aware of people and animals in thevicinity of the car.
Function and operation
CAM
button location.
The camera shows what is behind the car and if something appears from the sides. The camera shows a wide area behind the car and part of the bumper and any towbar. Objects on the screen may appear to tilt slightly - this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the display screen may be closer to the car than they appear to be onthe screen.
If another view is active the parking camera system takes over automatically and thecamera image is displayed on the screen. When reverse gear is engaged two unbroken lines are shown graphically which illustrate where the car's rear wheels will roll with thecurrent steering wheel angle, this facilitatestight parking, reversing into tight spaces andfor hitching a trailer. The car’s approximateexternal dimensions are illustrated by meansof two dashed lines. These park assist linescan be switched off in the settings menu. If the car is also equipped with parking assis- tance sensors* then their information is dis-played graphically as coloured fields in orderto illustrate the distance to detected obsta-cles, see the heading "Cars with reversingsensors" later in the text. The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after reverse gear has been disengaged or until thecar's speed exceeds 10 km/h forward or35 km/h backward.

IMPORTANT
The PAP system's parameters may need to be updated when changing to anotherapproved wheel rim size involving changedtyre circumference. Consult a workshop -an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-mended.
Maintenance
The PAP sensors are located in the bumpers 25
-
6 front and 4 rear.
For the PAP function to work correctly, its sensors must be cleaned regularly with waterand car shampoo - these are the same sen-sors that are used by parking assistance, seePark assist syst* - cleaning the sensors (p.243).

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - symbols and messages
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed. The combined instrument panel can show dif- ferent combinations of symbols and text withvarying content - sometimes with a self-explanatory piece of advice on appropriateaction. If a message shows that PAP is disengaged, contact with an authorised Volvo workshop isrecommended.

• Pull the lever back towards "
–" (minus) to
change down a gear and release it.
The manual gearshift mode " +S–" can be
selected at any time while driving. Geartronic automatically shifts down if the driver allows the speed to decrease lowerthan a level suitable for the selected gear, inorder to avoid jerking and stalling. To return to automatic driving mode:
• Move the lever to the side to the end position at
D.
NOTE
If the gearbox has a Sport programme then the gearbox will only become manualafter the gear selector has been movedforwards or backwards in its " +S–" posi-
tion. The combined instrument panel then changes indication from
S to show which
of the gears 1, 2, 3 etc. is engaged.
Paddles*As a supplement to manual gear changing with the gear selector there are also controlslocated on the steering wheel, so-called"paddles". To be able to change gear with the steering wheel paddles they must first be activated.This is by means of pulling one of the paddlestoward the steering wheel - the combined instrument panel then changes indicationfrom "
D" to a figure, which indicates the cur-
rent gear. To then change gear one step: • Pull one of the paddles backwards - towards the steering wheel - and release.
Both steering wheel "paddles".
"
-": Selects the next lower gear.
" + ": Selects the next higher gear.
A gear change occurs at each pull of the pad- dle provided that the engine speed does notleave the permitted range. After each gear change the combined instru- ment panel changes figure to show the cur-rent gear.
NOTE
Automatic deactivation If the steering wheel paddles are not used then they are deactivated after a short time- this is indicated when the combinedinstrument panel switches indication, fromthe figure for the current gear back to " D".
The exception is during engine braking -then the paddles are activated as long asengine braking is in progress. Manual deactivation The steering wheel paddle shifters can also be deactivated manually: • Pull both paddles toward the steering wheel and hold until the combinedinstrument panel changes characterfrom the figure for the current gear to"
D ".
The paddles can also be used with the gear selector in Sport mode* - then the paddlesare constantly activated without being deacti-vated.

Geartronic - Sport mode* (S) 9The Sport programme provides sportier characteristics and allowshigher engine speed for the gears.At the same time it responds more
quickly to acceleration. During active driving,the use of a lower gear is prioritised, leadingto a delayed upshift.
To activate Sport mode: • Move the gear selector to the side from
D
position to the end position at " +S–" - the
combined instrument panel changes indi- cation from
D to S.
Sport mode can be selected at any time while driving.
Geartronic - Winter modeIt can be easier to pull away on slippery roadsif 3rd gear is engaged manually.
1. Depress the brake pedal and move the gear selector from D position to the end
position at " +S–" - the combined instru-
ment panel changes indication from
D to
the figure
110 .
2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the lever forward towards " +" (plus) twice - the dis-
play shifts the indication from
1 to 3.
3. Release the brake and accelerate care- fully. The gearbox "winter mode" means that the car moves off with a lower engine speed andreduced engine power on the drive wheels.
Kick-downWhen the accelerator pedal is pressed all theway to the floor (beyond the position normallyregarded as full acceleration) a lower gear isimmediately engaged. This is known as kick-down. If the accelerator is released from the kick- down position, the gearbox automaticallychanges up. Kick-down is used when maximum accelera- tion is needed, such as for overtaking. Safety function To prevent overrevving the engine, the gear- box control program has a protective down-shift inhibitor which prevents the kick-downfunction. Geartronic does not permit downshifting/ kick-down which would result in an enginespeed high enough to damage the engine.Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shiftdown in this way at high engine speed – theoriginal gear remains engaged. When kick-down is activated the car can change one or more gears at a time depend-ing on engine speed. The car changes up when the engine reaches its maximum speedin order to prevent damage to the engine.
