SymbolMessage Description
ESC Temporarily offThe ESC system function has been temporarily reduced due to high brake disc temperature. The function reac- tivates automatically when the brakes have cooled.
ESC Service requiredThe ESC system is not functioning properly.
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine and restart it.
• If the message is still displayed when the engine has restarted, drive to an authorized Volvo workshop to have the system inspected.
WARNING
The stability system is intended to help improve driving safety. It supplements, but cannever replace, the driver's judgment andresponsibility when operating the vehicle.Speed and driving style should always beadapted to traffic and road conditions.

Roll stability control (RSC)
Volvo's Roll Stability Control (RSC) is a stability system designed to help minimize the risk of arollover in emergency maneuvers or if a skidshould occur.
RSC registers the amount of change in the lat- eral angle at which the vehicle is leaning. Usingthis information, RSC calculates the likelihood ofa rollover. If there is an imminent risk of a rollover,the stability system is activated, power to theengine is cut and the brakes are applied to oneor more of the wheels until the vehicle regainsstability.

NOTE
Before CC can be activated, the vehicle's speed must be at least 20 mph (30 km/h).This is also the lowest speed that can be set.
Activating CC (putting it in active mode and setting a speed)
–With the symbol displayed (CC is in
standby mode), press the
button (2) on
the left-side steering wheel keypad.
> This puts CC in active mode and will maintain the vehicle's current speed.

Changing Cruise Control speed
Changing a set speed
Function buttons and symbols (generic illustration)
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or — (3) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: changes speed in
+/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h) increments. Each press changes the vehicle's speedby +/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h).
• Press and hold
: changes the speed
+/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h) at a time.Release the button when the set speedindicator (4)/(6) has moved to the desiredspeed.
If speed is increased by pressing the accelerator pedal before the
button is pressed, the vehi-
cle's speed when the button is pressed will become the set speed assuming that the accel- erator pedal is still depressed when the button ispressed. A temporary increase in speed, such as when passing another vehicle, does not affect the CCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released. Alwaysobserve posted speed limits.
Engine braking instead of applying the
brakes
CC regulates speed by applying the brakeslightly. To avoid a loss of speed when drivingdown hills, use the engine braking functioninstead of letting the CC apply the brakes. In thissituation, the driver can temporarily deactivate theCC braking function. To do so:
–Press the accelerator pedal approx. halfway down and release it.
> CC will automatically deactivate the auto- matic brake function and will then only use the engine braking function.

Deactivating/resuming Cruise Control (CC) Cruise Control (CC) can be temporarily deacti- vated and put in standby mode.
Deactivating and putting CC in standbymode
To temporarily deactivate and put Cruise Control in standby mode:
Function buttons and symbols (generic illustration)
–Press the button (2).
> The set speed marker (4) and symbols will change colors from WHITE to GRAY. This indicates that CC is temporarily in standby mode and will not maintain a setspeed.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
CC 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 setspeed for more than 1 minute.
In these cases, the driver will have to regulate thevehicle's speed. A temporary increase in speed, such as when passing another vehicle, does not affect the CCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
CC switches automatically to standby mode if:
• the wheels lose traction
• engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
• brake temperature is too high
• the vehicle's speed goes below approx. 20 mph (30 km/h)
In these cases, the driver will have to regulate thevehicle's speed.
Reactivating CC from standby modeTo reactivate CC after it has temporarily been putin standby mode:
–Press the button (1).
> The set speed marker (4) will change color from GRAY to WHITE. The vehicle will then return to the most recently set
speed .
WARNING
There may be a significant increase in speed after the
button has been pressed.

Switching between Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control *
In models equipped with the optional ACC, the driver can toggle between CC and ACC.
A symbol in the instrument panel will indicate which system is currently being used:
CC
Cruise Control ACC
Adaptive Cruise Control
AA
A If the symbol is WHITE, the function is active. If the symbol is GRAY, the function is in standby mode.
Switching from ACC to CCTo switch from ACC to CC: 1. Put ACC in standby mode with the
but-
ton on the left-side steering wheel keypad.
2. From the center display's Function view, tap the
Cruise control button. The button's indi-
cator will change from GRAY to GREEN.
> The symbol in the instrument panel will
change from
(ACC) to (CC) and CC is in standby mode (ready for use but not currently maintaining a setspeed). 3.
Press the
button on the left-side steer-
ing wheel keypad.
> CC goes into active mode and sets the vehicle's current speed.
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.
If CC was activated when the engine was turnedoff, ACC will be selected and go into standbymode when the engine is restarted.
Switching from CC to ACCTo switch from CC to ACC: 1. Put CC in standby mode with the
button
on the left-side steering wheel keypad. 2. In the center display's Function view, tap the
Adaptive Cruise Control button. The but-
ton's indicator will change from GREEN to GRAY.
> The symbol in the instrument panel will
change from
(CC) to (ACC) and ACC is in standby mode (ready for use but not currently maintaining a setspeed/time interval).
3. Press the
button on the left-side steer-
ing wheel keypad.
> ACC goes into active mode and sets the vehicle's current speed and the selected time interval to the vehicle ahead.

WARNING
•Poor weather or winding roads can affect the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi-cles ahead.
• A vehicle's size (e.g., a motorcycle) canalso affect the radar sensor's capacity todetect another vehicle. This may result inthe warning light illuminating at a shorterdistance than the one that has been setor not illuminating at all.
• High speeds may also result in the warn-ing light illuminating at a shorter distancethan the one that has been set due tolimitations in the radar sensor's range.
For additional information, see also the article"Radar sensor limitations."

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) *
ACC is an optional system designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed or a settime interval to the vehicle ahead.
ACC helps provide more relaxed driving on long trips on highways or other major roads in a rela-tively even flow of traffic.
The camera and radar sensor monitor the distance to the vehicle ahead (generic illustration - certain detailsmay vary from model to model)
The driver sets that desired speed and time inter- val to the vehicle ahead. When the camera andradar sensor detects a slower moving vehicleahead, your vehicle's speed is automaticallyadapted. When there are no longer slower mov-ing vehicles ahead, your vehicle will accelerate toresume the set speed. ACC is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain a time interval to that vehicle set by the driver. If the radar sensor doesnot detect a vehicle ahead, ACC will insteadmaintain the speed set by the driver. ACC is designed to smoothly regulate speed. However, the driver must apply the brakes in sit-uations that require immediate braking such aswhen there are great differences in speedbetween vehicles, or if the vehicle ahead brakessuddenly. Due to limitations in the radar sensor,braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all. Adaptive Cruise Control can follow another vehi- cle from a standstill up to 125 mph (200 km/h).Always observe posted speed limits. The driver can also toggle between ACC and Cruise Control (CC) – see the article "Switchingbetween Cruise Control and Adaptive CruiseControl".

WARNING
•It is advisable to read through all of the related articles pertaining to ACC (seethe list at the end of this article).
• Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover alldriving situations and traffic, weather androad conditions.
• This system is designed to be a supple-mentary driving aid. It is not, however,intended to replace the driver's attentionand judgement. The driver is responsiblefor maintaining a safe distance and speedand must intervene if Adaptive CruiseControl does not maintain a suitablespeed or suitable distance to the vehicleahead.
• Maintenance of ACC components mayonly be performed by a trained and quali-fied Volvo technician.
OverviewThe distance to the vehicle ahead (in the samelane) 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
•
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.

Monitoring distance with the camera and radar sensor
Adaptive Cruise Control can exert brake forcethat is equivalent to approximately 40% of thevehicle's total braking capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than ACC can provide and if the driver does not applythe brakes, an audible signal from the City Safetysystem will sound and warning light will illuminatein the windshield to alert the driver to react.
WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor. In some casesthere may be no warning or the warning maybe delayed. The driver should always apply thebrakes when necessary.

A flashing icon will appear in the head-up display to alert the driver of a collision risk.
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.
