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.

Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) *
Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) helps the driver adapt the vehicle's maximum speed to the pos-ted speed limits.
The Speed Limiter (SL) function can be switched to Automatic Speed Limiter.
Where applicable, ASL uses speed information from the Road Sign Information * system to auto-

A✓ ✓
Sign symbol B
next to "70": ASL is acti-
vated.
✓
AWHITE symbol: the function is active, GRAY symbol: the func- tion is in standby mode.
B See the section "ASL symbol" below for an explanation of thesymbol's different colors.
The ASL symbol
A road sign symbol (next to the stored speed in the center of the speedome-ter) can be displayed in three differentcolors as explained in the following
table:
Road sign
symbol's color Explanation
Green/yellow ASL is active Gray ASL is in standby mode
Amber/orange ASL is temporarily in standby mode (e.g., because a speed limit sign could not be read)
ASL limitations
•ASL utilizes the speed limit information provi- ded by the Road Sign Information
* system
(RSI), not from the speed limit signs that the
vehicle passes.
• If RSI cannot provide ASL with speed-related information, ASL will go into standby modeand switch to SL. The driver will have to reactand adapt the vehicle's speed.
• ASL will reactivate when RSI is once againable to read a speed limit sign.
