Standby mode (temporary deactivation)To temporarily deactivate ACC (put it in standby mode):
• Press
.
This symbol and the marking for the set speed with change colors from green to
white. The previously set speed and time interval are resumed by pressing
.
WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate quickly after
has been pressed if its current speed is
considerably lower than the set speed.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
ACC is temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode:
• if the brakes are applied
• if the gear selector is moved to
N
• if the driver drives faster than the set speed for more than
1 minute.
In this happens, the driver will have to regu- late the vehicle's speed.
NOTE
If the accelerator pedal is only depressed for a short time, such as when passinganother vehicle, ACC is deactivated tem-porarily and is reactivated when the pedalis released.
Automatic standby modeACC is linked to other systems such as the stability and traction control system (DSTC). Ifthis system is not functioning properly, ACCwill switch off automatically. In the event of automatic deactivation, an audible signal will sound and the message
Cruise control Cancelled is shown in the
instrument panel. The driver must then inter- vene and adapt the vehicle's speed to thesurrounding traffic and regulate the distanceto the vehicle ahead. An automatic switch to standby mode may be caused if:
• engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
• The driver's door is opened
• The driver unbuckles his/her seat belt
• the vehicle's speed goes below 18 mph (30 km/h)
• the wheels lose traction
• brake temperature is high •
the radar sensor is obstructed by, forexample, wet snow or rain.
Resuming the set speedIf ACC is in standby mode, it can be reactiva- ted by pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad. The vehicle will return to the most recently set speed.
WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate quickly after
has been pressed if its current speed is
considerably lower than the set speed.
Passing another vehicleIf your vehicle’s speed is being regulated by ACC and the driver indicates that he/shewould like to pass the vehicle ahead by usingthe left turn signal, ACC can assist by accel-
erating briefly. This function is active at speeds above approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).

WARNING
Please be aware that this function will also cause the vehicle to accelerate briefly incertain situations other than passinganother vehicle, for example using the leftturn signal to indicate a lane change or aturn toward a highway exit at speedsabove approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
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 can- not be resumed by pressing
.
Toggling between ACC and CC (standard Cruise Control)
Switching from ACC to CCThis may be useful if, for example, the radar sensor is obstructed in some way. See thesection "The radar sensor and its limitations"on page 162 for additional information.
• Press and hold the
button; the symbol
in the instrument panel will switch from
to .
> This activates the standard cruise control function (see page 153).
WARNING
Switching from ACC to CC means that:
• Your vehicle will
no longer automati-
cally maintain a set distance to a vehi- cle ahead.
• Only the set speed will be maintainedand the driver will have to apply thebrakes when needed.
Switching from CC to ACC
Switch off cruise control by pressing once
or twice as needed according to the instruc- tions in the previous section "Turning ACC offcompletely." The next time the system isswitched on, ACC will be reactivated.
Queue Assist
IntroductionQueue Assist is an added ACC feature that is linked to your vehicle's automatic transmis-sion. Queue Assist consists of the following func- tions: • Enhanced speed interval (including when the vehicle is at a complete stop or is moving at speed below 18 mph(30 km/h))
• Automatic standby mode when ACCchanges target vehicles
• No automatic braking when at a standstill
• The parking brake is applied automati-cally
Please note that the lowest speed that can be set is 18 mph (30 km/h), although ACC canmaintain a set speed/distance to a vehicleahead down to a standstill. Queue Assistconsists of the following features:
Enhanced speed interval
NOTE
The driver's door must be closed and the driver's seat belt must be fastened beforeACC can be put in active mode. If the driv-er's seat belt is taken off or if the driver'sdoor is opened, ACC will return to standbymode.
Your vehicle can maintain the set time interval to the vehicle ahead at any permissiblespeed, including a complete stop. In order to activate ACC at speeds below 18 mph (30 km/h):

Radar sensor's field of vision (shown in pink)
In certain situations, the radar sensor cannot detect vehicles at close quarters,for example a vehicle that suddenlyenters the lane between your vehicle andthe target vehicle.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles not driving in the center of thelane may remain undetected.
In curves, the radar sensor may detect the wrong vehicle or lose sight of the tar-get vehicle.
WARNING
• Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover all driving situations and traffic,weather and road conditions. The"Function" section provides informa-tion about limitations that the drivermust be aware of before using thisfeature.
• This system is designed to be a sup-plementary driving aid. It is not, how-ever, intended to replace the driver'sattention and judgement. The driver isresponsible for maintaining a safe dis-tance and speed and must intervene ifAdaptive Cruise Control does notmaintain a suitable speed or suitabledistance to the vehicle ahead.
• Maintenance of ACC components mayonly be performed by a trained andqualified Volvo technician.
WARNING
•Adaptive Cruise Control is not a colli- sion avoidance system. The driver isalways responsible for applying thebrakes if the system does not detectanother vehicle.
• Adaptive Cruise Control does not reactto people or animals, or small vehiclessuch as bicycles and motorcycles. Italso does not react to slow moving,parked or approaching vehicles, orstationary objects.
• Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control indemanding driving conditions such ascity driving or other heavy traffic situa-tions, in slippery conditions, whenthere is a great deal of water or slushon the road, during heavy rain orsnow, in poor visibility, on windingroads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
Fault tracing and actions
If the message Radar blocked See manualis displayed, this means that the radar signals from the sensor have been obstructed andthat a vehicle ahead cannot be detected. This, in turn, means that the functions of the ACC, Distance Alert, and Collision Warning

176* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
WARNING
• Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake will not provide awarning or brake the vehicle forpedestrians in darkness or in tunnels,even if there is street lighting in thearea.
• The auto-brake function can help pre-vent a collision or reduce the speed atimpact but the driver should alwaysapply the brakes for the best possiblebraking effect, even if auto-brake isactively applying the brakes.
• Never wait for a collision warning. Thissystem is designed to be a supple-mentary driving aid. It is not, however,intended to replace the driver's atten-tion and judgement. The driver isresponsible for maintaining a safe dis-tance and speed, even when the colli-sion warning system is in use.
• Maintenance of the Pedestrian andCyclist Detection with Full Auto Brakesystem's components must only beperformed by a trained and qualifiedVolvo technician.
Function
Function overview
Audio-visual warning signals, collision risk
Radar sensor
Camera
Collision WarningThe radar sensor and the camera work together to detect a pedestrian, a cyclist, sta-tionary vehicles and vehicles that are movingin the same direction as your vehicle. If thereis a risk of collision with a vehicle, a cyclist ora pedestrian, the driver is alerted by a flash-ing red warning light and an audible warningsignal. The system is active at speeds above3 mph (4 km/h).
Brake SupportIf the risk of collision continues to increaseafter the collision warning has been given,Brake Support is activated. Brake Supportprepares the brake system to react quickly,and the brakes are applied slightly. This maybe experienced as a light tug. If the brakes are applied quickly, full braking effect will be provided. Brake Support alsoincreases brake force if the system deter-mines that the driver has not applied ade-quate pressure on the brake pedal.
Auto-brakeIf a collision is imminent and the driver hasnot applied the brakes or begun to steeraround the vehicle, pedestrian or a cyclist,the auto-brake function is activated withoutthe driver pressing the brake pedal. Full brakeforce is applied to help reduce the vehicle’sspeed when the collision occurs or limitedbrake force is applied if this is sufficient toavoid the collision.
NOTE
The auto-brake and brake support func- tions are always on and cannot be turnedoff.
