Locking/unlocking – from the outside
The remote key (p. 150) is used to lock/unlock all of the doors and the tailgate at the same time.Different settings for unlocking the vehicle canbe selected, see Remote key – functions(p. 153). Before the vehicle can be locked from the out- side with the remote key, the driver's door mustbe closed. If the tailgate or any other door isopen, it will be locked and the alarm will bearmed.
NOTE
Be sure the remote key is outside of the vehi- cle before the other doors/tailgate are closedto help avoid locking the remote inside thevehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional key- less drive system, all doors/tailgate must beclosed before the vehicle can be locked. The first press on the unlock button unlocks the driver's door and a second press unlocks theother doors and the tailgate (see also remote keyand key blade (p. 150)). This setting can be changed in the menu system. See MY
CAR (p. 77) for a description.
If the locks repeatedly do not react when the unlock button is pressed, it may be necessary to replace the battery in the remote, see Remotekey – replacing the battery (p. 157). In this casethe vehicle can be unlocked with the detachablekey blade (p. 156).

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.

Adaptive Cruise Control – introductionACC is an optional system designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed or a settime interval to the vehicle ahead. It is primarilyintended for use on long straight roads in steadytraffic, such as on highways and other mainroads.
When the driver has set the desired speed and the time interval to the vehicle ahead, ACC func-tions as follows:
• If there are no other vehicles in the laneahead of you, your vehicle will travel at theset speed.
• If ACC's radar sensor detects a slower mov-ing vehicle in the lane ahead, the system willadapt your vehicle's speed to help maintainthe set time interval to the vehicle ahead.When there are no longer slower movingvehicles ahead, your vehicle will accelerate toresume the set speed.
If ACC is switched off completely or in standbymode and your vehicle comes too close toanother vehicle ahead, the driver will be warnedby the Distance Alert system (see Distance Alert– introduction (p. 197)).
WARNING
• Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather androad conditions. The "Function" sectionprovides information about limitations thatthe driver must be aware of before usingthis feature.
• 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.
