Reactivating SL from standby modeTo reactivate SL after it has temporarily been put in standby mode:
–Press the button (1).
> The maximum speed marker (4) and sym- bols will change colors to WHITE and the vehicle's maximum speed will be limited tothe previously set maximum speed.
or
–Press the button (2).
> The symbols will change colors from GRAY to WHITE and the vehicle's current speed will be set as the maximum speed.
Increasing the speed with the accelerator pedal
The set maximum speed can be temporarily exceeded using the accelerator pedal withoutputting SL in standby mode, for instance whenquick acceleration is required.
1. Press the accelerator pedal as far down as possible and release it when the vehicle has reached the desired speed.
> SL remains activated (the symbols in theinstrument panel will remain WHITE).
2. Release the accelerator pedal when the tem- porary acceleration is completed.
> The vehicle will slow down and its speedwill remain under the set maximum speed.

Cruise Control (CC)
Cruise Control (CC) is designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed. It is primarilyintended for use on long straight roads in steadytraffic, such as on highways and other mainroads in smoothly flowing traffic.

In models equipped with the optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), the driver can togglebetween CC and ACC – see the article "Switch-ing between Cruise Control and Adaptive CruiseControl".
WARNING
• The vehicle must always be driven according to current traffic/road condi-tions. The driver must take action if CCdoes not maintain a suitable speedand/or distance to other vehicles.
• The driver is always responsible for oper-ating the vehicle in a safe manner.

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.

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.

ACC must first be put in active mode before it can be started in order to regulate speed or aset time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Starting ACC (putting it in standby
mode)
Function buttons and symbols
–Press ◀ (2) or ▶ (3) to scroll to the ACC
(
) function. The symbol (4) will be dis-
played in the instrument panel.
> The symbol indicates that ACC has been
started and is in standby mode . In
standby mode, the vehicle will not main-
tain a set speed or a time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Activating ACC (putting it in active mode and setting a speed)
Before ACC can be put in active mode:
• The driver's seat belt must be buckled and the driver's door must be closed.
• There must be a vehicle ahead (a target vehi-cle) within a reasonable distance or yourvehicle's current speed must be at least9 mph (15 km/h).
–With the symbol displayed (ACC is in
standby mode), press the
button (1) on
the left-side steering wheel keypad.
> This puts ACC in active mode and sets the vehicle's current speed, which is indi- cated by digits in the center of the speed-ometer.

WARNING
When ACC is in standby mode, the driver has to control the vehicle's speed and distance toa vehicle ahead. When ACC is in standby mode, the driver will be alerted if the distance to the vehicle aheadis too short by the Distance Alert function.See the article "Distance Alert" for additionalinformation.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
ACC 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 ACCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released.
