) and fold the sec-
tion(s) down. A red indicator (
) shows that
the backrest is not locked in the upright position.
NOTE
It may be necessary to move the front seats forward or put their backrests in a moreupright position before folding down the rearseat backrests.
WARNING
• When one or more sections of the back- rest is returned to the upright position,check that it is properly locked in place bypushing and pulling it. The red indicatorsshould also not be visible.
• Return the outboard head restraints tothe upright position.
• Long loads should always be securelyanchored to help avoid injury in the eventof a sudden stop.
• Always turn the engine off and apply theparking brake when loading/unloadingthe vehicle.
• Place the transmission in the Park (
P)
position to help prevent inadvertentmovement of the gear selector.
• On hot days, the temperature in the vehi-cle interior can rise very quickly. Exposureof people to these high temperatures foreven a short period of time can causeheat-related injury or death. Small chil-dren are particularly at risk.

LOADING AND STORAGE
144
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. 87).
When loading the cargo area, keep the following
in mind:
• Load objects in the cargo area against thebackrest 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 cargo area and rear seat should notbe loaded to a level higher than 2 in.(5 cm) below the upper edge of the rearside windows. Objects placed higher thanthis level could impede the function ofthe Inflatable Curtain.

Loading – roof load carriers
Using load carriersLoad carriers are available as Volvo accessories. Observe the following points when in use:
• To avoid damaging your vehicle and toachieve maximum safety when driving, werecommend using the load carriers that Volvohas developed especially for your vehicle.
• Volvo-approved removable roof racks aredesigned to carry the maximum allowableroof load for this vehicle: 220 lbs (100 kg).For non-Volvo roof racks, check the manu-facturer's weight limits for the rack.
• Never exceed the rack manufacturer's weighlimits and never exceed the maximum ratedroof load of 220 lbs (100 kg).
• Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loadsevenly.
• Place heavier cargo at the bottom of theload.
• Secure the cargo correctly with appropriatetie-down equipment.
• Check periodically that the load carriers andload are properly secured.
• Remember that the vehicle's center of gravityand handling change when you carry a loadon the roof.

DRIVER SUPPORT
190The driver will then have to reactivate ACC in one of the following ways: •
By pressing
• By accelerating up to at least 3 mph (4 km/h). ACC will then resume following thevehicle ahead.
Your vehicle will then resume following the vehi-cle ahead at the set time interval.
NOTE
ACC can remain active and keep your vehicle at a standstill for up to 4 minutes. After4 minutes have elapsed, the parking brakewill be engaged and ACC will go into standbymode. To reactivate ACC, the driver must release the parking brake (see Parking brake – generalinformation (p. 280)).
Automatic standby mode when ACC changes target vehicles
If the vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be a sta- tionary vehicle ahead
The following only applies at speeds below approximately 18 mph (30 km/h) :
If ACC changes target vehicles (the vehicle thatthe radar sensor has detected) from a movingvehicle to a stationary one, the system will applythe brakes in your vehicle.
WARNING
At speeds above 18 mph (30 km/h), ACC
will not react to a stationary vehicle and apply the brakes but will instead accelerate to thepreviously set speed. The driver must activelyapply the brakes to stop the vehicle.
ACC disengages and goes into standby mode if: • Your vehicle's speed goes below 10 mph (15 km/h) and ACC cannot determine if thetarget object is a stationary vehicle or some other type of object such as e.g., a speedbump.
• Your vehicle's speed goes below 10 mph(15 km/h) and the vehicle ahead turns sothat ACC no longer has a target vehicle tofollow.
No automatic braking when at a
standstill
In certain situations, ACC will no longer apply thebrakes and go into standby mode while the vehi-cle is not moving. This means that the driver willhave to apply the brakes. This happens if:
• The driver presses the brake pedal
• The parking brake is activated
• The gear selected is moved to
P, N or R
• The driver presses the
button to put ACC
in standby mode
The parking brake is applied
automatically
In certain situations, ACC will apply the parking brake in order to continue keeping the vehicle ata standstill. This happens if:
• The driver opens the door or takes off his/her seat belt
• The stability system is put in Sport mode(see Stability system – operation (p. 173))
