Cargo cover *
In the extended position, the cargo cover pre- vents visual access to the cargo area.
Installation
Insert one of the cargo cover's end pieces in the recess in the side panel in the cargoarea.
Then insert the other end piece in the recess in the side panel on the opposite side.
Press down the end pieces on both sides - one by one.
> When a "click" is heard and the red mark- ing on each end piece has disappeared, the cargo cover is attached - check that itis affixed securely.
4. Fold the cargo cover's front sealing disc for- ward to eliminate the space between the cargo cover and the rear seat's backrests.
If the safety net * shall be used at the same time
as the cargo cover then the safety net must befitted first.
UsageThere are two extended positions for the cargocover - a full-cover position and a loading posi-tion, where it is partially extended to make it eas-ier to reach further into the cargo area.
Full-cover position
1. Grip the handle and pull out the cargo cover so that it slides over the side panels in the cargo area. Pull to the end position.
2. Guide the cover's attachment pins into the grooves in the side panels. Release, while atthe same time angling the handle slightlyupwards so that the attachment pins hook in.
> The cargo cover is locked in the full-coverposition.

NOTE
If the remote key is not detected sufficiently close to the tailgate, locking/unlocking willnot work. See the section "Remote keyrange" for more information.
2. Lift by the outside handle in order to fullyopen the tailgate.
IMPORTANT
•Minimal force is required to release the rear hatch lock - just gently press the rub-berised panel.
• Do not place the lift force on the rubberpanel when opening the rear hatch - liftthe handle. Using too much force maydamage the electrical contacts on the rub-ber panel.

Speed-dependent steering force Speed related power steering causes the steer- ing wheel force to increase with the speed of thecar in order to give the driver enhanced sensitiv-ity.
On motorways the steering feels firmer. When parking and at low speed steering is light andrequires only a slight effort.
NOTE
In certain situations the power steering may become too hot and then needs to be tempo-rarily cooled - during this time the powersteering operates with reduced power andturning the steering wheel may then be per-ceived to be slightly heavier. In parallel with the temporarily reduced steer- ing assistance, the driver display shows amessage.
Change the steering force level *To select the steering force level, go to the "Drive modes" section and see the description at thealternative INDIVIDUAL under the heading"Selectable drive modes". For the car models without a drive mode control with its INDIVIDUAL option, the selection ofsteering force is instead made via the centre dis-play's top view and the following search path:

Roll Stability Control Roll Stability Control (RSC) is a stabiliser sys- tem that minimises the risk of overturning, forexample during sudden evasive manoeuvres or ifthe car skids.
The RSC system registers if and how much the car's lateral inclination changes. This informationis used to calculate the risk of the car overturn-ing. If the car is at risk, its electronic stability con-trol system engages, the engine torque isreduced and one or more wheels are braked untilthe car has regained its stability.
WARNING
Under normal driving conditions, the RSC sys- tem improves the car's road safety, but thismust not be taken as a reason to increasespeed. Always follow the normal precautionsfor safe driving.

Symbols and messages for electronic stability control
A number of symbols and messages regarding electronic stability control (Electronic Stability Control -ESC) can be shown on the driver dis-play.
The following table shows some examples.

Message Specification
Constant glow for approx. 2 seconds. System check when the engine is started.
Flashing light. ESC system is being activated.
Constant glow. Sport mode is selected.
NOTE: The ESC system is not deactivated in this mode — it is partly reduced.
ESC Temporarily offESC system has been temporarily reduced due to excessive brake temperature - the function is reactiva- ted automatically when the brakes have cooled.

• Stop the car in a safe place, switch off the engine and start it again.
• Visit a workshop if the message remains - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Distance Warning *
The Distance Warning function (Distance Alert) warns the driver if the time interval to the vehicleahead becomes too short.
Distance warning is active at speeds
above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts to thevehicle ahead travelling in the same direction. Nodistance information is provided for oncoming,slow or stationary vehicles.
NOTE
Distance warning is deactivated during the time the adaptive cruise control is active.
WARNING
Distance warning only reacts if the distance to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the presetvalue - the speed of the driver's vehicle is notaffected.
Head-up display *
Symbol for Distance Warning on the windscreen 4
.
In cars equipped with head-up display, a symbol is shown on the windscreen for as long as thetime interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter thanthe preset value. However, this presupposes that the
Show Driver Support function is activated
via settings in the car's menu system; see the heading "Head-up display" for how this works.
NOTE
Information on the windscreen may be diffi- cult to see in strong sunlight and when wear-ing sunglasses.

Limitations of Distance Warning *
The Distance warning (Distance Alert) function may have limitations in certain situations.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia- tions in light intensity, as well as wearing sun-glasses, could mean that the warning light inthe windscreen cannot be seen. Poor weather or winding roads could affect the radar unit's capacity to detect vehicles infront. The size of other vehicles could also affect detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. Thiscould mean that the warning lamp illuminatesat a shorter distance than the setting or thatthe warning is temporarily absent. Extremely high speeds can also cause the lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance thanthat set due to limitations in sensor range.
NOTE
The function uses the car's radar unit, which has some general limitations, see the "Limita-tions for radar unit" section.

Adaptive cruise control
*
The adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed combined with a pre-selected timeinterval to the vehicle ahead.
An adaptive cruise control provides a more relax- ing driving experience on long journeys on motor-ways and long straight main roads in smooth traf-fic flows.
The camera and radar unit measures the distance to the vehicle ahead 5
.
The driver selects the desired speed and a time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the camera andradar unit detects a slower vehicle in front of thecar, the speed is adapted automatically via thepreset time interval to the vehicle. When the road
