> The
symbol in the instrument panel
will change colors from WHITE to GRAY and the set speed in the center of thespeedometer will change from BEIGE toGRAY.
Standby mode due to action by the driverACC is temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode if:
• the brakes are applied
• The gear selector is moved to
N
• the vehicle is driven faster than the set speed for more than 1 minute. In these cases, the driver will have to regulate the vehicle's speed. A temporary increase in speed, such as when passing another vehicle, does not affect the ACCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby modeACC interacts with other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control. If any of these othersystems are not functioning properly, ACC willturn off automatically.
WARNING
If this happens, the driver will be alerted by an audible signal and a message in the instru-ment panel. The driver will have to adapt thevehicle's speed, apply the brakes when nec-essary and keep a safe distance to the vehicleahead.
ACC switches automatically to standby mode if: • the vehicle's speed goes below approx. 3 mph (5 km/h) and ACC cannot determineif the vehicle ahead is stationary or is anobject such as a speed bump, etc
• the vehicle's speed goes below approx.3 mph (5 km/h) and the vehicle aheadchanges lanes or turns so that ACC nolonger has a target vehicle to follow
• the driver opens the door
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt •
engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
• the wheels lose traction
• the parking brake is applied
• the stability system's
ESC Sport Mode is
activated
• the
Off Road drive mode is selected
• The radar sensor is covered by e.g., wet snow or if heavy rain interferes with radar waves
Reactivating ACC from standby modeTo reactivate ACC after it has temporarily been put in standby mode:
–Press the button (1).
> The vehicle will then return to the most
recently set speed .

Starting and activating Pilot Assist
The Pilot Assist feature helps keep the vehicle in its current traffic lane, at a set speed and a settime interval to the vehicle ahead.
Function buttons and symbols
PrerequisitesThe prerequisites for activating Pilot Assist are:
• The vehicle ahead must be within a reasona- ble (detectable) distance
• The camera must be able to clearly detectthe traffic lane's side marker lines
• The vehicle's speed must be under approx.30 mph (50 km/h). A WHITE symbol indicates that Pilot Assist has been selected. In other cases, the WHITE arrow pointing to the right indi-cates that the system is availa-ble.
A YELLOW symbol with a flashing WHITE arrowindicates that the system is about to shift intostandby mode.
With ACC in standby mode: 1. Tap ▶ (4).
> The symbol will be displayed and Pilot Assist will go into standby mode.
2. Press the
button (1) on the left-side
steering wheel keypad.
> Pilot Assist will go into active mode.
WARNING
• Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsiblefor applying the brakes if the system doesnot detect another vehicle.
• Do not use Pilot Assist in demandingdriving conditions such as city driving orother heavy traffic situations, in slipperyconditions, when there is a great deal ofwater or slush on the road, during heavy

rain or snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
• Pilot Assist uses the vehicle's cameraand radar sensor, which have limitations.
Pilot Assist may deactivate or not function optimally if:
• the lane's side market lines are missing, badly faded or cross each other.
• the division of lanes is not clear, e.g.,when a line divides or merges withanother, at exits or if there are many roadsigns/markers.
• if there are edges or other lines on ornear the lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repairedareas, sharp shadows, etc.
• the lane is narrow or winding.
• the weather conditions (rain, snow, fog,slush, poor visibility, backlighting, etc).
The driver should also be aware that Pilot Assist has the following limitations: • High curbs, barriers and temporary obsta- cles (cones, barriers etc) may not bedetected or could be detected incorrectlyas side marker lines, which may create arisk of collision. The driver must ensure asafe distance to these obstacles.
• The camera or radar sensor may not beable to detect objects if there are pot-holes or if there are stationary objectspartially or completely blocking the road.• Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians, animals, etc.
• Pilot Assist's steering capacity is limitedand may not always be able to help thedriver keep the vehicle in the lane.
Hands on the steering wheelPilot Assist only functions when the driver's hands are on the steering wheel
, which is con-
tinuously monitored by the system. If this is notthe case, the driver will be alerted by a text mes-sage in the instrument panel. If the driver's handsare not returned to the steering wheel, an audiblesignal will sound. If the driver does not return his/her hands to the steering wheel after the audible signal, PilotAssist will go into standby mode and must be reactivated by pressing

Other Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) functionsACC is an optional system designed to assist
the driver by maintaining a set speed or a set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
ACC has several supplementary functions:
• Changing target vehicles
• Automatic standby mode when changing tar- gets
• Auto-hold brake function
• Deactivation of the auto-hold brake function
• Automatically setting the parking brake
Changing target vehicles
If the target vehicle turns suddenly, there may be a sta- tionary vehicle ahead
When ACC is actively following another vehicle at speeds
under 20 mph (30 km/h) and changes
targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary one, the system will brake for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
If ACC changes targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary one at speeds above 20 mph
(30 km/h), the system will not react to the
stationary vehicle and will accelerate to the previously set speed. The driver must actively apply the brakes to slow/stop the vehicle.
Automatic standby mode when changing targets
ACC disengages and goes into standby mode if:
• your vehicle's speed goes below approx. 3 mph (5 km/h) and ACC cannot determine ifthe target object is a stationary vehicle orsome other type of object such as a speedbump, etc
• the vehicle's speed goes below approx.3 mph (5 km/h) and the vehicle aheadchanges lanes or turns so that ACC nolonger has a target vehicle to follow
Auto-hold brake functionIn slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop- ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-cally if the vehicle is not stopped for more thanapprox. 3 seconds. If it takes more than3 seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin movingagain, ACC will go into standby mode and theauto-hold brake function will activate.
–The driver will then have to reactivate ACC in one of the following ways:
• Press the
button on the left-side
steering wheel keypad
• Press the accelerator pedal
> ACC will resume following the vehicle ahead (target vehicle) if it begins to move
within approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
ACC can keep the vehicle at a standstill for up to 5 minutes, after which the parking brakewill be set and ACC will go into standbymode. The parking brake has to be released before ACC can be reactivated.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) - fault tracing
ACC is an optional system designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed or a settime interval to the vehicle ahead.
If this symbol is displayed in the instru- ment panel and the message
Windscreen sensor Sensor
blocked, see Owner's manual
appears, the ACC radar sensor is blocked and cannot detect vehicles ahead.
This message also indicates that the following systems may have reduced functionality:
• Distance Alert
• City Safety
• Driver Alert Control
• Pilot Assist
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
• Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)
• Traffic Sign Information (TSI) The following table lists possible causes for thismessage being displayed and suitable actions:
CauseAction
The windshield in front of the radar is dirty or covered with snow/ice.Clean/clear the windshield in front of the radar.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.No action possible. Heavy precipitation may affect the function of the radar.
Swirling water or snow from the surface of the road may interfere with the radar signals.No action possible. A very wet or snow-covered road surface may affect the function of the radar.
The windshield in front of the radar is clean but the message remains in the display.Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detect that it is no longer obstructed.
A text message can be erased by briefly pressing the
O button on the right-side steering wheel
keypad. If the message recurs, contact a trained and authorized Volvo service technician orretailer.

HeatIf the temperature in the passenger compartment is very high, the camera and radar sensor may betemporarily turned off for approx. 15 minutesafter the engine has been started to protect theirelectronic components. When the temperaturehas cooled sufficiently, the camera and radarsensor will restart automatically. The visual warning signal may also be temporarily disabled due to high passenger compartmenttemperatures caused by strong sunlight. Warnings may not be given if the distance to the vehicle ahead is short and the driver is activelyoperating the vehicle (clearly depressing a pedalor turning the steering wheel).
Reduced visibilityCity Safety's functions may be greatly impeded or deactivated by e.g., intense snowfall or rain, indense fog, in very dusty conditions or if there isblowing snow in front of the vehicle. Condensa-tion, ice, snow or dirt on the windshield may alsoreduce the system's functionality.
NOTE
•Keep the windshield in front of the radar sensor free of ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• Snow or ice on the hood deeper than2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sensor.Keep the hood free of ice and snow.
• Do not mount or in any way attach any-thing on the windshield that couldobstruct the radar sensor.
Camera and radar sensor's field of visionThe camera and radar sensor have limited fields of vision. In some situations they may detect avehicle, pedestrian or cyclist later than expectedor not detect them at all. Other vehicles that are dirty may be detected later than others and in dark conditions, motorcy-cles may be detected late or not at all. If a text message is displayed in the instrument panel indicates that the camera or radar sensorare blocked, it may be difficult for City Safety todetect a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist and thesystem's functionality may be reduced. Camera and radar sensor components should only be serviced or replaced by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
Other limitations
WARNING
• Warnings and braking may be delayed or not occur at all if traffic, weather or otherconditions prevent the camera and/orradar sensor from detecting pedestrians,cyclists or other vehicles correctly.
• Other vehicles can only be detected indarkness if their headlights and taillightsare clearly visible.
• The sensors have a limited range forpedestrians and cyclists. The systemfunctions best at speeds up to 30 mph(50 km/h). For stationary or slow-movingvehicles, the system functions best atspeeds up to approx. 43 mph (70 km/h).
• Warnings for stationary or slow-movingvehicles may be impeded by darkness orpoor visibility.
• Warnings and braking for pedestrians andcyclists will not be provided at speedsabove approx. 50 mph (80 km/h).
• Do not place, attach or mount any objectson the inside or outside of the windshieldnear or over the sensor. This could affectthe camera-based functions.

ASL symbolA road sign symbol (next to the stored speed in the center of the speedome-ter) can be displayed in three differentcolors as explained in the following
table:
Road sign sym-
bol's colorExplanation
Green/yellowASL is active
GrayASL is in standby mode
Amber/orangeASL is temporarily in standby mode (e.g., becausea speed limit sign could notbe read)
LimitationsAdjusting a set speed is done first when the vehi- cle passes a speed limit sign. If a speed limit signcannot be read (e.g., because it is twisted, dam-aged, faded, dirty, covered by snow, etc.) ASL willgo into standby mode because the system willnot have "seen" the speed posted on the sign(SL will activate). The driver will have to react andadapt the vehicle's speed. ASL will reactivatewhen the vehicle passes a speed limit sign thatthe system can read.
