Deactivating/activating the adaptive cruise control *
The adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC) can be temporarily deactivatedso that it is set in the standby mode and canlater be reactivated.
Deactivate Adaptive Cruise Control and set it in standby mode
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
To temporarily switch off Adaptive Cruise Control and set it in standby mode:
–Press the steering wheel button (2).
> The
symbol on the driver display
changes colour from WHITE to GREY and the stored speed in the centre of thespeedometer changes from BEIGE toGREY. In standby mode, the driver must him/herselfcontrol both speed and distance. When the adaptive cruise control is in standby mode and the car drives too close to a vehicleahead, the driver is warned about the short dis-tance by the Distance Warning function instead(see reference to the heading "Distance Warn-ing" at the end of this section).
Standby mode on driver intervention
The adaptive cruise control is temporarily deacti- vated and set in standby mode if:
• the foot brake is used
• the gear selector is moved to
N position.
• the driver maintains a speed higher than thestored speed for longer than 1 minute.
• the clutch pedal is depressed for approx. 1minute - applies to cars with manual gearbox.
In this situation, the driver must intervene andadapt the speed and distance to the vehicleahead. A temporary increase in speed with the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affectthe setting - the car returns to the last storedspeed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive cruise control is dependent on other systems, e.g. stability control/anti-skid ESC. If anyof these systems stops working, adaptive cruisecontrol is switched off automatically. In the event of automatic deactivation a signal willsound and a message is shown in the driver dis-play. The driver must then intervene and adaptthe speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. Automatic deactivation may occur if:
• the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and ACC is uncertain whether the vehicle ahead is astationary vehicle or an object, such as aspeed bump.
• the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and thevehicle ahead turns off so that ACC nolonger has a vehicle to follow.
• speed is reduced to below 30 km/h(20 mph) - only applies to cars with manualgearbox.
• the driver opens the door
• the driver takes off the seatbelt
• engine speed is too low/high
• wheels lose traction
• brake temperature is high
• the parking brake is applied
• the camera and radar unit is covered by e.g.snow or heavy rainfall (camera lens/radiowaves are blocked).

300 front starts moving again then the adaptive cruise control is set in standby mode with automaticbraking.
–The Adaptive Cruise Control is reactivated in one of the following ways:
• Press the steering wheel button
.
• Depress the accelerator pedal.
> The Adaptive Cruise Control resumes fol- lowing the vehicle ahead if it starts mov- ing forward within 6 seconds.
NOTE
ACC can keep the car stationary for a maxi- mum of 5 minutes. After this the parkingbrake is applied and adaptive cruise control isdisengaged. The parking brake must be released before the adaptive cruise control can be reactivated.
Cessation of automatic braking
In some situations, automatic braking ceases on reaching 0 km/h and Adaptive Cruise Control isset in standby mode. This means that the brakesare released and the car may start to roll - thedriver must therefore intervene and brake the carhimself/herself to keep it stationary. This may take place in the following situations:
• the driver puts his/her foot on the brakepedal
• the parking brake is applied
• the gear selector is moved to
P, N , or R posi-
tion
• the driver sets the adaptive cruise control inthe standby mode.
Automatic activation of parking brakeIn certain situations the parking brake is appliedto keep the car stationary. This takes place if the adaptive cruise control is holding the car stationary with the foot brake and: •the driver opens the door or takes off his/her seatbelt
• ACC has kept the car stationary for morethan approx. 5 minutes
• the brakes have overheated
• the engine is switched off.

Limitations of the adaptive cruise control *
The (Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC) may have limitations in certain situations.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadBear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving on levelroad surfaces. The function may have difficulty inkeeping the correct distance from the vehicleahead when driving on steep downhill slopes - inwhich case, be extra attentive and ready to brake.Do not use the adaptive cruise control with aheavy load or with a trailer connected to the car.
Miscellaneous
• Drive mode Off Road cannot be selected
when the adaptive cruise control is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the car's radar unit, which has some general limitations, see the "Limita-tions for radar unit" section.

Cessation of automatic braking
In some situations, automatic braking ceases on coming to a standstill and Pilot Assist is set instandby mode. This means that the brakes arereleased and the car may start to roll - the drivermust therefore intervene and brake the car him-self/herself to keep it stationary. This may take place in the following situations:
• the driver puts his/her foot on the brake pedal
• the parking brake is applied
• the gear selector is moved to
P, N , or R posi-
tion
• the driver sets Pilot Assist in the standbymode.
Automatic activation of parking brakeIn certain situations the parking brake is appliedto keep the car stationary. This takes place if Pilot Assist is holding the car stationary with the foot brake and: •
the driver opens the door or takes off his/her seatbelt
• Pilot Assist has kept the car stationary formore than approx. 5 minutes
• the brakes have overheated
• the engine is switched off.

High temperatureAt very high temperatures the camera and radar unit can temporarily be switched off forabout 15 minutes after the engine is started soas to protect the unit's electronics. The cameraand radar unit restarts automatically when thetemperature has fallen sufficiently.
Damaged windscreen
IMPORTANT
If a crack, scratch or stone chip in the wind- screen in front of one of the camera andradar unit “windows” covers an area ofapprox. 0.5 x 3.0 mm or larger, a workshopmust be contacted to have the windscreenreplaced. An authorised Volvo workshop isrecommended. If not rectified it can lead to reduced perform- ance for the driver support systems that usethe camera and radar unit. This may mean that functions are reduced, deactivated completely or give incorrect func-tion response. To avoid the risk of failed, deficient or reduced operation of driver support systemsthat use the radar unit, the following alsoapplies:
• Volvo recommends
against repairing
cracks, scratches or stone chips in thearea in front of the camera and radar unit.Instead, the whole windscreen should bereplaced.
• Before replacing a windscreen, contactan authorised Volvo workshop to verifythat the correct windscreen is orderedand fitted.
• The same type or Volvo-approved wind- screen wipers must be fitted duringreplacement.

Auto Brake
The automatic brake function is activated last. If in this situation the driver has not yet started to take evasive action and the risk of collision isimminent then the automatic braking function isdeployed - this takes place irrespective ofwhether or not the driver brakes. Braking thentakes place with full brake force in order toreduce collision speed, or with limited brake forceif it is sufficient to avoid a collision. In connection with automatic braking the seatbelt tensioner may also be activated. For more infor-mation see the "Seatbelt tensioner" section. In some situations, the action of Auto-brake may begin with light braking and then progress to fullbrake action. When City Safety has prevented a collision with a stationary object, the car remains stationary inanticipation of positive action by the driver. If thecar has been braked to avoid collision with aslower vehicle in front, its speed is reduced tomatch that of the vehicle in front.
NOTE
On cars with manual gearbox, the engine stops when the Auto-brake function has stop-ped the car, unless the driver has managed todepress the clutch pedal beforehand.
The driver can always interrupt a braking inter- vention by firmly depressing the acceleratorpedal.
NOTE
When City Safety™ brakes, the brake lights
come on.
When City Safety is activated and brakes the vehicle, the driver display shows a text messageto the effect that the function is/has been active.
WARNING
City Safety must not be used as an excuse for the driver to change his/her driving style. Ifthe driver relies solely on City Safety to do thebraking, there might be a risk of a collisionsooner or later.
