WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is alwaysresponsible for applying the brakes if thesystem does not detect another vehicle.
• Adaptive Cruise Control does not react topeople or animals, or small vehicles suchas bicycles and motorcycles. It also doesnot react to slow moving, parked orapproaching vehicles, or stationaryobjects.
• Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control indemanding driving conditions such as citydriving or other heavy traffic situations, inslippery conditions, when there is a greatdeal of water or slush on the road, duringheavy rain or snow, in poor visibility, onwinding roads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same lane) is monitored by a radar sensor. Your vehi-cle's speed is regulated by accelerating andbraking. The brakes may emit a sound when theyare being modulated by the adaptive cruise con-trol system. This is normal.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control system modulates the brakes.Do not rest your foot under the brake pedal.
The ACC system is designed to smoothly regu- late speed. However, the driver must apply thebrakes in situations that require immediate brak-ing. This applies when there are great differencesin speed between vehicles, or if the vehicle aheadbrakes suddenly.
WARNING
Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all, seeAdaptive Cruise Control – limitations (p. 186).
Adaptive Cruise Control can be put in active mode at any permitted speed. However, if thevehicle's speed falls below 18 mph (30 km/h) orif engine speed (rpm) becomes too low, ACC dis-engages (goes into standby mode) and will nolonger modulate the brakes. The driver will thenhave to maintain a safe distance to the vehicleahead.
WARNING
When Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode or is switched off completely, thebrakes will not be modulated automatically.The driver must assume full control over thevehicle.
Warning light—driver braking requiredAdaptive Cruise Control can exert brake force that is equivalent to approximately 40% of thevehicle's total braking capacity. In situationsrequiring more brake force than ACC can provideand if the driver does not apply the brakes, anaudible signal from the Collision Warning systemwill sound and warning light will illuminate (see Collision warning * – function (p. 204)) in the
windshield to alert the driver to react.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver isnot looking straight ahead may make the vis-ual warning signal in the windshield difficult tosee.

Adaptive Cruise Control – setting time interval
Setting a time interval
Controls and display
Decrease/increase time interval
The set time interval to vehicles ahead can be increased by pressing
and decreased by
pressing
. The current time interval is shown
briefly in the display following adjustment. Different time intervals can be selected and are shown in the instrument panel
2
as 1–5 hori-
zontal bars. The greater the number of bars, the longer thetime interval. One bar repre-sents a time interval of approxi-
mately 1 second; 5 bars is approximately3 seconds.
To set/change a time interval:
• Press the
/ buttons (3).
At low speeds, when the distance to the vehicle ahead is short, ACC increases the time intervalslightly. In order to follow the vehicle ahead assmoothly as possible, ACC allows the time inter-val to vary considerably in certain situations.
WARNING
• Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions.
• A short time interval gives the driver lim-ited reaction time if an unexpected situa-tion occurs in traffic.

Radar sensor
The radar sensor is designed to help detect cars or larger vehicles driving in the same direction asyour vehicle, in the same lane.
The radar sensor and its limitationsIn addition to being used by the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), the radar sensor is also used byDistance Alert (see Distance Alert – introduction(p. 191)) and Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection (see Collisionwarning – introduction (p. 202)).
WARNING
• If there is visible damage to the front grille or you suspect that the radar sensormay be damaged in any way, contact atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian as soon as possible. The radar sen-sor may only function partially (or not atall) if it is damaged or is not securely fas-tened in place.
• Accessories or other objects, such asextra headlights, must not be installed infront of the grille.
• Modification of the radar sensor couldmake its use illegal.
The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles ahead is impeded: • if the radar sensor is obstructed and cannotdetect other vehicles, for example in heavy rain, or if snow or other objects are obscuringthe radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean.
•
if the speed of vehicles ahead is significantly different from your own speed.

Distance Alert – introduction
Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Control and is a function that provides information aboutthe time interval to the vehicle ahead.
IntroductionDistance Alert is active at speeds above approxi- mately 18 mph (30 km/h). Time interval informa-tion is only given for a vehicle that is drivingahead of your vehicle in the same direction. Noinformation is provided for vehicles driving towardyou, moving very slowly, or at a standstill.
Amber warning light 3
.
An amber warning light in the windshield glows steadily if your vehicle is closer to the one aheadthan the set time interval.
NOTE
Distance Alert only monitors distance to the vehicle ahead while Adaptive Cruise Control isin standby mode or off.
WARNING
Distance Alert only indicates the distance to the vehicle ahead. It does not affect thespeed of your vehicle.

City Safety – function
Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield 5
City Safety
™ monitors traffic ahead of you using
a laser sensor mounted in the upper section of the windshield. If a collision is imminent, City Safety ™ will automatically apply the brakes,
which may feel like hard braking. If the difference in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is more than approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City Safety ™ alone cannot
prevent a collision from taking place. The driver must apply the brakes to help avoid a collision orreduce its effect. When the function activates and applies the brakes, a message will appear in the information display to indicate that the system is/has beenactive.
NOTE
•
When City Safety
™ applies the brakes,
the brake lights will illuminate.
• In cases where City Safety
™ has stopped
the vehicle, the system will then release the brakes. The driver must apply thebrakes to keep the vehicle at a standstill.

City Safety – troubleshooting
TroubleshootingIf Windscreen Sensors blocked appears in the
information display, this indicates that the City Safety ™ laser sensor is obstructed in some way
and cannot detect vehicles ahead of you, which means that the system is not functioning. However, this message will not be displayed in all situations in which the sensor is obstructed. Forthis reason, the driver must ensure that the areaof the windshield in front of the sensor is alwayskept clean. The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed andsuggested actions.
CauseAction
The area of the windshield in front of the sensor isdirty or covered by ice orsnow.Clean the wind- shield or removethe ice/snow.
The laser sensor's field of view is obstructed.Remove the obstruction.
NOTE
If a crack, scratch or stone chip should occur in the section of the windshield in front thelaser sensor, contact a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician to repair or replacethe windshield (see the illustration showingthe location of the sensor in City Safety –function (p. 196)). Failing to do so may result in reduced City Safety ™ functionality.
To help prevent limited or reduced functional- ity, please also observe the following:
• Volvo recommends that cracks, scratchesor stone chips on the windshield in front of the laser sensor
should not be
repaired; in such cases, the entire wind- shield should be replaced.
• Before the windshield is replaced, con-tact a Volvo retailer to ensure that thecorrect windshield is ordered and instal-led. If the wrong type of windshield is used, this may cause City Safety
™ to
function improperly or not at all. Volvo recommends the use of only GenuineVolvo Replacement Windshields.
• When replacing windshield wipers, usethe same type or ones approved by Volvo.
