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 system. If this system is not function-ing properly, ACC will switch off automati-cally. 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.
Turning ACC off completely

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. 269)).
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. 175))
• ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstillfor more than 2 minutes
• The engine has been switched off
• The brakes have overheated

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.

City Safety – introduction
City Safety™5
is a support system designed
to help the driver avoid low speed collisions when driving in slow-moving, stop-and-gotraffic. City Safety™ is not active if your vehicle’s speed is below approximately 2 mph(4 km/h). This means that City Safety™ willnot react if your vehicle approaches anothervehicle at very low speed, for example, whenparking. The function is active at speeds up to approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) and assiststhe driver by applying the brakes automati-cally, thereby avoiding or helping to reducethe effects of a collision. City Safety™ is designed to intervene as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary activa-tion. City Safety™ triggers brief, forceful braking if a low-speed collision is imminent. However,the system will not intervene in situationswhere the driver actively steers the vehicle orapplies the brakes, even if a collision cannotbe avoided. This is done in order to alwaysgive the driver’s actions highest priority. City Safety™ activates in situations where the driver has not applied the brakes in time, which means that the system cannot help thedriver in all situations. City Safety™ should not be used to alter the way in which the driver operates the vehicle.The driver should never rely solely on thissystem to safely stop the vehicle. Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safety™ except whenthe system intervenes when a low-speed col-lision is imminent. If the vehicle is also equipped with the optional Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection system, thetwo systems interact. For more informationabout the Collision Warning with Auto-brakesystem, see Collision warning – introduction(p. 209) .
WARNING
•
City Safety™ is a supplemental aid to the driver. It can never replace thedriver’s attention to traffic conditionsor his/her responsibility for operatingthe vehicle in a safe manner.
• City Safety™ does not function in alldriving situations or in all traffic,weather or road conditions.
WARNING
•
City Safety™ only reacts to vehicles traveling in the same direction as yourvehicle and does not react to smallvehicles or motorcycles or to people oranimals.
• City Safety™ is not activated whenyour vehicle is backing up.
• City Safety™ functions at speeds upto 30 mph (50 km/h). This system canhelp prevent a collision if the
differ-
ence in speed between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is less than9 mph (15 km/h). If the difference inspeed is greater, a collision cannot beavoided but the speed at which thecollision occurs can be reduced. Thedriver must apply the vehicle’s brakesfor full braking effect.
• City Safety™ will not intervene in apotential collision situation if the vehi-cle is being driven actively. The driveris always responsible for maintaining asafe distance to a vehicle or objectahead.

City Safety – function
Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield 6
City Safety™ monitors traffic ahead of you using a laser sensor mounted in the uppersection of the windshield. If a collision isimminent, City Safety™ will automaticallyapply the brakes, which may feel like hardbraking. If the difference in speed between your vehi- cle and the vehicle ahead is more thanapproximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City Safety™alone cannot prevent a collision from takingplace. The driver must apply the brakes tohelp avoid a collision or reduce its effect. When the function activates and applies the brakes, a message will appear in the informa- tion display to indicate that the system is/hasbeen active.
NOTE
•
When City Safety™ applies the brakes, the brake lights will illuminate.
• In cases where City Safety™ has stop-ped the vehicle, the system will thenrelease the brakes. The driver mustapply the brakes to keep the vehicle ata standstill.

Collision warning – 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 way that 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 City Safety – intro-duction (p. 202) for detailed information aboutCity 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.
