164* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
• The vehicle ahead must be within a rea- sonable distance (not farther away thanapprox. 100 ft/30 meters)
• The lowest speed that can be selected is18 mph (30 km/h), although ACC will alsohelp maintain the set time interval to thevehicle ahead at lower speeds, includinga complete stop.
During short stops (less than approximately 3 seconds) in slow-moving traffic, your vehi-cle will begin moving again automatically assoon as the vehicle ahead begins to move. If it takes more than 3 seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving, ACC will be automat-ically go into standby mode. The driver will then have to reactivate ACC in one of the following ways:
• By pressing
• By accelerating up to at least 3 mph (4 km/h). ACC will then resume followingthe vehicle ahead.
Your vehicle will then resume following the vehicle ahead at the set time interval.
NOTE
ACC can remain active and keep your vehicle at a standstill for up to 4 minutes.After 4 minutes have elapsed, the parkingbrake will be engaged and ACC will go intostandby mode. To reactivate ACC, the driver must release the parking brake (see page 145).
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 amoving vehicle to a stationary one, the sys-tem 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 acceler-ate to the previously set speed. The drivermust actively apply the brakes to stop thevehicle.
ACC disengages and goes into standby mode if:
• Your vehicle's speed goes below 10 mph (15 km/h) and ACC cannot determine ifthe target object is a stationary vehicle orsome other type of object such as e.g., aspeed bump.
• Your vehicle's speed goes below 10 mph(15 km/h) and the vehicle ahead turns sothat ACC no longer has a target vehicle tofollow.
No automatic braking when at a standstill
In certain situations, ACC will no longer apply the brakes and go into standby mode whilethe vehicle is not moving. This means that thedriver will have to apply the brakes. This happens if:
• The driver presses the brake pedal
• The parking brake is activated

Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake*
04
178* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is designed to assist the driver ifthere is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian,a cyclist, a vehicle ahead that is at a standstillor one that is moving in the same direction asyour vehicle. This system consists of the following three functions: • Collision Warning
warns the driver of a
potential collision situation.
• Brake Support
helps the driver brake
efficiently in a critical situation.
• Auto-brake
brakes the vehicle automati-
cally if a collision with a pedestrian, a cyclist or another vehicle cannot be avoi-ded and the driver does not apply thebrakes in time or steer around the per-son/vehicle. Auto-brake can help preventa collision or reduce the speed at which acollision occurs.
Since Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is activated in circumstanceswhere the driver should have begun brakingmuch sooner, the system will not be able toassist 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 waythat the driver changes his/her way of operat-ing the vehicle. If the driver relies entirely onthe system, the chances of an accident even-tually occurring increase considerably. The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake and City Safety™ systems sup-plement each other. See page 172 fordetailed 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-brakesystem by driving toward a person orobject. This could result in serious injury ordeath.
WARNING
•
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake does not work in alldriving, traffic, weather and road con-ditions. It does not react to vehiclesnot traveling in the same direction asyour vehicle.
• Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection withFull Auto Brake does not react to ani-mals.
• Warnings are only provided when therisk of collision is high. The "Function"section provides information aboutlimitations that the driver must beaware of before using Collision Warn-ing.
• Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection withFull Auto Brake will not provide awarning or brake the vehicle forpedestrians or cyclists at speedsabove 50 mph (80 km/h).

lines: the function is active and "sees" one or both of the road's side markerlines.
• The LDW symbol has
gray side marker
lines: the function is active but cannot"see" one or both of the road's sidemarker lines.
or
• The LDW symbol has

lines: – the function is deactivated.
WARNING
The driver will only be warned once for each time the wheels cross a marker line.No alarm will be given if a marker line isbetween the wheels.
LimitationsThe camera used by LDW has the same limi- tations as the human eye. See page 182 formore information about the camera's limita-tions.
NOTE
No warning signal will be given in the cer-
tain situations, such as:
• If the turn signal is being used
• The driver’s foot is on the brake pedal 1
• The accelerator pedal is pressed quickly 1
• If the steering wheel is moved quickly 1
• In sharp turns that cause the vehicle’s body to sway

Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)*
04
200* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
G021426
BLIS camera
Indicator light
BLIS symbol
The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is an information system that indicates the pres-ence of another vehicle moving in the samedirection as your vehicle in the side-view mir-ror's "blind area."
CAUTION
The BLIS system should only be repaired by a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
WARNING
• BLIS is an information system, NOT a warning or safety system.
• BLIS does not eliminate the need foryou to visually confirm the conditionsaround you, and the need for you toturn your head and shoulders to makesure that you can safely change lanes.
• As the driver, you have full responsibil-ity for changing lanes in a safe man-ner.
The system is based on digital camera tech- nology. The cameras are located beneath theside-view mirrors. When one (or both) of the cameras have detected a vehicle in the blind area (up toapproximately 10 ft. (3 meters) from the sideof your vehicle, and up to approximately 31 ft.(9.5 meters) behind the side-view mirror), seethe illustration, the indicator light in the doorpanel illuminates. The light will glow continu-ously to alert the driver of the vehicle in theblind area.
NOTE
The door panel indicator light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the sys-tem has detected another vehicle. If yourvehicle is passed on both sides at thesame time, both lights will illuminate.
BLIS has an integrated function that alerts the driver if a fault should occur with the system.For example, if one or both of the system'scameras are obscured, a message (see thetable on page 202) will appear in the informa-tion display in the instrument panel. If thisoccurs, clean the camera lenses. If neces-sary, the system can be temporarily switchedoff (for instructions, see page 202).
Areas monitored by BLIS Distance A = approx. 31 ft. (9.5 meters), Distance B = approx. 10 ft.(3 meters)

your Warranty and Service Records Informa- tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician for these intervals.The filter should be replaced more often whendriving under dirty and dusty conditions. Thefilter cannot be cleaned and therefore shouldalways 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 lev-els of odors and contaminants entering thevehicle. The air quality sensor detectsincreased levels of contaminants in the out-side air. When the air quality sensor detectscontaminated outside air, the air intake closesand the air inside the passenger compart-ment is recirculated, i.e., no outside air entersthe vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculatedpassenger compartment air.
NOTE
Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air fil- ter replacement intervals.
Materials used in the cabinThe materials used in the cabin have been developed to help minimize the amount ofdust and make the cabin easier to keepclean. All floor mats can be easily removedfor cleaning. Use car cleaning products rec-ommended by Volvo. See also the informa-tion beginning on page 375.
Menu settingsThe default settings for four of the climatesystem's functions can be changed in themenu 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 209 for a description of the menu system.
Air distribution
G017699
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 224.

Average fuel consumptionFuel consumption since the last time this function was reset.
Average speedThe vehicle's average speed since the lasttime this function was reset.
Current fuel consumptionCurrent fuel consumption is calculatedapproximately once a second. When the vehi-cle is moving at low speed, fuel consumptionis displayed per unit of time. At higherspeeds, it is displayed in terms of distance. Miles or kilometers can be displayed, see theheading "Changing units" on page 230
Distance to emptyThis function shows the approximate dis-tance that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. When
Distance to empty shows
"----", there is very little useable fuel remain- ing in that tank; refuel as soon as possible.The calculation is based on average fuel con-sumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) ofdriving and the amount of fuel remaining inthe tank (the accuracy of this figure may varyif your driving style changes). An economicaldriving style will generally increase this dis-tance. See page 284 for information about driving economically.

Active chassis (Four C)
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Con- trolled Chassis Concept), regulates the cha-racteristics of the shock absorbers so that thevehicle's driving characteristics can beadjusted. There are three settings: Comfort,Sport and Advanced.
NOTE
This system is available on Canadian mod- els only.
ComfortComfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride and the transmission shifts gears at lowerrpm. This mode is particularly suitable forlong-distance highway driving. The indicatorlight in the button will be on when this modeis selected.
SportIn this mode, the vehicle's body sway isreduced during cornering and steeringresponse is more immediate. The transmis-sion shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driv-ing. The indicator light in the button will be onto indicate that Sport mode has beenselected.
AdvancedIn this mode, body sway in curves is minimaland steering response is very direct. Gearshifting is done at high rpm in each gear fordynamic and active driving.
