Rear seats – folding backrest
The rear seat head restraints and backrests can be folded down. The center headrestraint can be raised/lowered according tothe passenger's height.
Folding down the rear seat backrests
The rear seat backrests are split and can be folded down together or separately1. Pull the release control handle(s).
2. Fold the backrest forward. Adjust the center seat head restraint if necessary.
NOTE
When the backrests are folded down, move the outboard head restraints forwardslightly so that they do not catch on theseat cushion.
CAUTION
To help avoid damage to the upholstery, there should be no objects on the rear seatand the seat belt should not be buckledwhen the backrest is folded down.
WARNING
•Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child’s reach.Unsupervised children could lockthemselves in an open trunk and riskinjury. Children should be taught not toplay in vehicles.
• On hot days, the temperature in thetrunk or vehicle interior can rise veryquickly. Exposure of people to thesehigh temperatures for even a shortperiod of time can cause heat-relatedinjury or death. Small children are par-ticularly at risk.
WARNING
•
When one or more sections of the backrest is returned to the uprightposition, check that it is properlylocked in place by pushing and pullingit.
• Return the outboard head restraints tothe upright position.
• Long loads should always be securelyanchored to help avoid injury in theevent of a sudden stop.
• Always turn the engine off and applythe parking brake when loading/unloading the vehicle.
• Place the transmission in the Park (
P)
position to help prevent inadvertentmovement of the gear selector.
• On hot days, the temperature in thevehicle interior can rise very quickly.Exposure of people to these high tem-peratures for even a short period oftime can cause heat-related injury ordeath. Small children are particularly atrisk.

Loading – general
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is determined by factors such as the number ofpassengers, the amount of cargo, the weightof any accessories that may be installed, etc. To increase loading space, the rear seat backrests can be folded down, see Rearseats – folding backrest (p. 80). When loading the trunk, keep the following in mind:The trunk lid can be unlocked anpopped open slightly via the buttonlocated on the lighting panel, see
Locking/unlocking – trunk (p. 155).
• Load objects in the trunk against the backrest whenever possible.
• Unstable loads can be secured to theload anchoring eyelets with straps or weblashings to help keep them from shifting.
• Stop the engine and apply the parkingbrake when loading or unloading longobjects. The gear selector can beknocked out of position by long loads,which could set the vehicle in motion.
WARNING
• Stop the engine, put the gear selector in
P, and apply the parking brake
when loading or unloading longobjects.
• The vehicle's driving characteristicsmay change depending on the weightand distribution of the load.
• A 44-pound (20 kg) object produces aforce of 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg) in ahead-on collision at 30 mph (50 km/h).
• The rear seat should not be loaded toa level higher than 2 in. (5 cm) belowthe upper edge of the rear side win-dows. Objects placed higher than thislevel could impede the function of theVolvo Inflatable Curtain.

Adaptive Cruise Control – passing another vehicle
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).

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) – Queue Assist
Queue Assist is an added ACC feature that is linked to your vehicle's automatic transmis-sion.
IntroductionQueue Assist is an added ACC feature that islinked 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 ismoving 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):
• 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 Parking brake –general information (p. 266)).
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
• The gear selected is moved to
P, N or R
• The driver presses the
button to put
ACC in standby mode
The parking brake is applied automatically
In certain situations, ACC will apply the park- ing brake in order to continue keeping thevehicle at a standstill. This happens if:
• The driver opens the door or takes off his/her seat belt
• The stability system is put in Sport mode(see Stability system – operation (p. 163))
• ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstillfor more than 2 minutes
• The engine has been switched off
• The brakes have overheated
