Returning the seat/mirrors to the stored positions
To move the seat and door mirrors to the position stored in the remote key: 1.Unlock the driver's door with the same
remote key (the one used to lock the doors). For models equipped with the optional key-less drive, you must have the same remotekey in your possession.
2. Open the driver's door within 2 minutes. The driver's seat and door mirrors will automati- cally move to the position in which you left them(if the vehicle has been unlocked with one of theother keys and new seat/mirror adjustments havebeen made).
NOTE
• The seat will move to this position even if someone else has moved it to a different position and locked the vehicle with a
dif-
ferent remote key.
• This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote keys that you usewith your vehicle.

Loading – general
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is determined by factors such as the number ofpassengers, the amount of cargo, the weight ofany accessories that may be installed, etc.
To increase loading space, the rear seat back- rests can be folded down, see Rear seats – fold-
ing backrest (p. 81).
When loading the trunk, keep the following in
mind:
The trunk lid can be unlocked an pop-ped open slightly via the button locatedon the lighting panel, see Locking/
unlocking – trunk (p. 160).
• Load objects in the trunk against the back- rest whenever possible.
• Unstable loads can be secured to the loadanchoring eyelets with straps or web lash-ings to help keep them from shifting.
• Stop the engine and apply the parking brakewhen loading or unloading long objects. Thegear selector can be knocked out of positionby long loads, which could set the vehicle inmotion.
WARNING
• Stop the engine, put the gear selector in P
, and apply the parking brake when
loading or unloading long objects.
• The vehicle's driving characteristics may change depending on the weight and dis-tribution 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 to alevel higher than 2 in. (5 cm) below theupper edge of the rear side windows.Objects placed higher than this levelcould impede the function of the VolvoInflatable Curtain.

–Press the
CRUISE button (1).
> The symbol
illuminates and the text(---) mph (5) indicates that cruise control
is in standby mode.
NOTE
Putting cruise control in standby mode does not set a cruising speed.
Setting a speed
Use the or buttons set the vehicle's cur-
rent speed. The set speed is shown in the display.
NOTE
Cruise control cannot be engaged at speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h).
Adjusting the set speedAfter a speed has been set, it can be increased or decreased by using the

Toggling between ACC and CC (standard Cruise Control)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) helps the driver maintain a safe distance/time interval to the vehi-cle ahead.
Switching from ACC to CCThis may be useful if, for example, the radar sen- sor is obstructed in some way. See AdaptiveCruise Control – limitations (p. 186) for addi-tional information.
• Press and hold the
button; the symbol in
the instrument panel will switch from

> This activates the standard cruise control function (see Cruise control (CC) – introduc- tion (p. 173)).
WARNING
Switching from ACC to CC means that:
• Your vehicle will
no longer automatically
maintain a set distance to a vehicle ahead.
• Only the set speed will be maintained andthe driver will have to apply the brakeswhen needed.

Adaptive Cruise Control – introduction(p. 176)
• Adaptive Cruise Control – function (p. 177)
Cruise control (CC) – deactivating Cruise control is designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed. It is primarily intendedfor use on long straight roads in steady traffic,such as on highways and other main roads.
Automatic deactivationThe cruise control is automatically deactivated temporarily
if one of the following occurs:
• If the speed drops below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
• If the gear selector is moved to position
N.
• During wheel spin or wheel lock-up.
• If the vehicle's speed is increased by usingthe accelerator pedal for more than 1 minute.
• Engine speed (rpm) is too high or too low.
The currently set speed will be saved in the sys-tem's memory.
Temporary deactivationThe driver can temporarily deactivate the cruise control by pressing 0. The saved speed is shown
in brackets in the information display.
Resume set speedIf the cruise control has been deactivated tempo- rarily, it can be reactivated by pressing
. The
vehicle's speed returns to the most recently set speed.
WARNING
There may be a significant increase in speed after the
button has been pressed.
Deactivation
The Cruise control is disengaged by pressing or by switching off the engine. The set speed is cleared.
WARNING
Cruise control should not be used in heavy traffic or when driving on wet or slipperyroads. Cruise control may not maintain setspeed on steep downgrades.

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.
