Distance Alert* limitations
Distance Alert uses the same radar sensor asAdaptive Cruise Control* and has several limita-tions.

WARNING
•The radar sensor has a limited field ofvision. In some situations it may detect avehicle later than expected or not detectother vehicles at all.
•The radar sensor cannot cover all drivingsituations and traffic, weather and roadconditions.
•The driver is responsible for maintaining asafe distance and speed and must inter-vene if the various driver support systemsdo not maintain a suitable speed or suita-ble distance to the vehicle ahead.
•Maintenance of radar sensor componentsmay only be performed by a trained andqualified Volvo technician.
•Strong sunlight, reflections from the roadsurface, strong lighting contrasts or usingsunglasses may make the warning light inthe windshield difficult to see.
WARNING
•Poor weather or winding roads can affectthe radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi-cles ahead.
•A vehicle's size (e.g., a motorcycle) canalso affect the radar sensor's capacity todetect another vehicle. This may result inthe warning light illuminating at a shorterdistance than the one that has been setor not illuminating at all.
•High speeds may also result in the warn-ing light illuminating at a shorter distancethan the one that has been set due tolimitations in the radar sensor's range.
For additional information, see also the article"Radar sensor limitations."

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
ACC is an optional system designed to assistthe driver by maintaining a set speed or a settime interval to the vehicle ahead.
ACC helps provide more relaxed driving on longtrips on highways or other major roads in a rela-tively even flow of traffic.
The camera and radar sensor monitor the distance tothe vehicle ahead (generic illustration - certain detailsmay vary from model to model)
The driver sets that desired speed and time inter-val to the vehicle ahead. When the camera andradar sensor detects a slower moving vehicleahead, your vehicle's speed is automaticallyadapted. When there are no longer slower mov-ing vehicles ahead, your vehicle will accelerate toresume the set speed.
ACC is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in thesame lane and maintain a time interval to that

Passing Assistance with AdaptiveCruise Control or Pilot Assist-2
ACC or Pilot Assist can assist the driver whenpassing other vehicles.

How passing assistance works
When ACC or Pilot Assist is following anothervehicle and the driver indicates that he/she isabout to pass that vehicle by using the left turnsignal, ACC or Pilot Assist will begin acceleratingtoward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle hasmoved into the passing lane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction toavoid early braking as your vehicle approachesthe slower-moving vehicle.
The function is active until your vehicle haspassed the other vehicle.

WARNING
Be aware that this function may be activatedin situations other than when passing a vehi-cle, such as if the turn signal is used to indi-cate a lane change or to indicate a turn. Thevehicle will accelerate briefly.

Using passing assistance
To activate passing assistance:
•Your vehicle (ACC or Pilot Assist) must befollowing another vehicle (the target vehicle).
•Current speed must be at least approx.45 mph (70 km/h ).
•The speed set for ACC or Pilot Assist mustbe high enough to safely pass the vehicleahead.
Starting passing assistance
To start a passing assistance sequence:
•Activate the left turn signal.

Passing assistance limitations
WARNING
The driver should be prepared for suddenchanges when passing assistance is used. Incertain cases, there may be undesired accel-eration.
Certain situations should be avoided, such as:
•If the vehicle is approaching an exit to theleft or a left turn.
•If the vehicle ahead slows down beforeyour vehicle has moved into the passinglane.
•Traffic in the passing lane slows down.
Passing assistance in these situations can bedeactivated by putting ACC or Pilot Assist instandby mode.

Changing target vehicles andautomatic braking with AdaptiveCruise Control (ACC)
At certain speeds, Adaptive Cruise Control canchange target vehicles and automatically applythe brakes.
Changing target vehicles
If the target vehicle turns suddenly, there may be a sta-tionary vehicle ahead
When ACC is actively following another vehicle atspeeds under 20 mph (30 km/h) and changestargets from a moving vehicle to a stationary one,the system will brake for the stationary vehicle.

Pilot Assist*
Pilot Assist helps the driver keep the vehiclebetween a traffic lane's side marker lines as wellas helping to maintain a set time interval (dis-tance) to a vehicle ahead.
There are two versions of Pilot Assist: PilotAssist-1 and Pilot Assist-2. The following illus-trations provide help in determining the versionthat is in your vehicle.

Pilot Assist-1
Vehicles with Pilot Assist-1have this symbol in the instru-ment panel.

Pilot Assist-2
Vehicles with Pilot Assist-2have this symbol in the instru-ment panel.

Related information
•Pilot Assist-1* (p. 295)
•Pilot Assist-2* (p. 305)
Pilot Assist-1*
The Pilot Assist feature helps keep the vehicle inits current traffic lane by providing steeringassistance and maintaining an even speed and aset time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Function
The vehicle's camera monitors the traffic lane'sside marker lines and a distance monitor helpsmaintain the set time interval to the vehicleahead.
Pilot Assist helps provide more relaxed driving inheavy, slow-moving traffic at speeds up to30 mph (50 km/h) on highways and major roads.
Function overview
Windshield module containing the camera/radar sensor
Monitoring distance
Monitoring side marker lines
The driver sets the desired time interval to thevehicle ahead. Pilot Assist monitors that vehicleand the traffic lane's side market lines using thecamera and radar sensor mounted in the upper,center section of the windshield. It helps maintainthe set time interval by automatically adjustingspeed and by providing steering assistance tohelp keep your vehicle in the lane.
Pilot Assist's steering assistance is based onmonitoring the direction of the vehicle ahead andthe traffic lane's side marker lines. The driver canalways override Pilot Assist and steer the vehicleto e.g., change lanes, etc.
