Adaptive Cruise Control utilizes approx. 40% of the vehicle's braking capacity. If a situationrequires more braking force than the AdaptiveCruise Control can provide, and if the driver doesnot apply the brakes, a warning light and audiblewarning signal will be activated to alert the driverthat immediate action is required.
WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Control only issues a warning for vehicles detected by its radar unit – thus, awarning may come after a delay or not at all.
• Never wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when necessary.

Standby mode due to action by the driver
Adaptive Cruise Control will be temporarily deac- tivated and put in standby mode if:
• the brakes are applied.
• the gear selector is moved to
N
• the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, willnot affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive Cruise Control is dependent on other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC 46
). If any of these other systems stops
working, Adaptive Cruise Control will automati- cally switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an acoustic signal and a messageon the instrument panel. • The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, apply the brakes if necessary, andmaintain a safe distance to other vehicles. Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standbymode if:
• your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and ACC cannot determine if thevehicle ahead is stationary or if it is anotherobject, e.g. a speed bump.
• your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatACC no longer has a vehicle to follow.
• the driver opens the door.
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
• the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
• one or more of the wheels lose traction.
• the brake temperature is high.
• the parking brake is applied.
• the camera/radar sensor is covered by snowor heavy rain (the camera lens/radar wavesare blocked)
Reactivating Adaptive Cruise Control from standby mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
To reactivate ACC from standby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel
(1).
> Speed will be set to the most recently stored speed.
WARNING
A noticeable increase in speed may follow when the speed is resumed with the
steering wheel button.

WARNING
•The Pilot Assist function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driv-ing and help make it safer – it cannothandle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sectionsin the Owner's Manual about this functionto learn of its limitations, which the drivermust be aware of before using the func-tion (see the link list at the end of thisarticle).
• Pilot Assist should only be used if thereare clear lane lines painted on each sideof the lane. All other use will increase therisk of contact with nearby obstacles thatcannot be detected by the functions.
• Pilot Assist is not a substitute for the driv-er's attention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theproper position within the lane, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
NOTE
Depending on market, this function may be either Standard or Optional.
Pilot Assist regulates speed by accelerating and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a slightsound when they are being used to adjust speed. Pilot Assist attempts to smoothly regulate speed. The driver must apply the brakes in situationsrequiring immediate braking. For example, whenthere are great differences in speed betweenvehicles or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.Due to limitations in the camera and radar sen-sor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all. Pilot Assist is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain a time interval tothat vehicle set by the driver. If the radar sensordoes not detect a vehicle ahead, it will insteadmaintain the speed set by the driver. This will alsohappen if the speed of the vehicle aheadexceeds the set speed for your vehicle.
• Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle atspeeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h(125 mph).
• Pilot Assist can provide steering assistancefrom near-stationary speeds up to 140 km/h(87 mph).
WARNING
• Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must intervene if thesystem fails to detect a vehicle ahead.
• Pilot Assist does not brake for people,animals, objects, small vehicles (e.g.cycles and motorcycles), low trailers aswell as oncoming, slow or stationary vehi-cles.
• Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding sit-uations, such as in city traffic, at intersec-tions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot ofwater or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads,on highway on- or off-ramps, or with atrailer connected to the vehicle.
CAUTION
Maintenance of the integrated components in Pilot Assist may only be performed by a work-shop – an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-ommended.
In curves and forks in the roadPilot Assist is designed to interact with the driver. The driver should never wait for steering assis-tance from Pilot Assist, but instead should alwaysbe ready to increase his or her own steeringefforts, particularly in curves.

The driver is responsible for ensuring that the vehicle maintains a suitable distancefrom such obstacles.
• The camera and radar sensors do nothave the capacity to detect all oncomingobjects and obstacles in traffic environ-ments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstaclesor objects that completely or partiallyblock the route.
• Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
• The recommended steering input is lim-ited in force, which means that it cannotalways help the driver to steer and keepthe vehicle within the lane.
• Pilot Assist is switched off if the powersteering is working with reduced power -e.g. during cooling due to overheating(see section "Speed-dependent steeringforce").
The driver can always correct or adjust steeringassistance provided by Pilot Assist by turning thesteering wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsPilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven onflat roads. The function may not be able to main-tain the correct time interval to the vehicle aheadwhen driving down steep hills. The driver should be extra attentive and prepared to apply thebrakes.
• Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carry-ing a heavy load or towing a trailer.
NOTE
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer, bike carrier or similar is connected to thevehicle electrical system.
Other limitations
•
The Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera unit, which has some general limitations – see thesection "Camera unit limitations".
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar unit, which has some general limitations – see thesection "Radar unit limitations".

City Safety
™
City Safety can alert the driver with light, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal to help thedriver detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animalsand vehicles that appear suddenly – the vehiclewill then attempt to automatically brake if thedriver does not act within a reasonable amountof time.
Location of the camera and radar sensor 71
.
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lower the vehicle's speed at the point of impact. City Safety is an aid intended to assist the driver if a collision with a pedestrian, large animal,cyclist or vehicle is imminent. City Safety can help the driver avoid a collision when e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, when changes in the traffic ahead and driver distractioncould lead to an incident. The function assists the driver by automatically applying the brakes if there is an imminent risk ofa collision and the driver does not react in time bybraking and/or steering away. City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in an attempt to stop your vehicle immediately behindthe vehicle or object ahead. City Safety is activated in situations in which the driver should have applied the brakes much ear-lier, which means that the system will not be ableto assist the driver in all situations. City Safety is designed to be activated as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary intervention. Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safety except when the systemintervenes when a collision is imminent.

Large animals
If there is a risk of colliding with a large animal, City Safety can help reduce your vehicle's speedby up to 15 km/h (9 mph). The braking function for large animals is primarily intended to mitigate the force of a collision athigher speeds. Braking is most effective atspeeds above 70 km/h (43 mph) and less effec-tive at lower speeds.

Function overview72

Acoustic collision warning signal
Collision warning symbol
Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring City Safety carries out three steps in the follow- ing order:
1. Collision warning
2. Brake assistance
3. Auto-brakeDescriptions of what happens in these three steps are provided below.
1 - Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an immi- nent collision. City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles that are stationary, are moving in thesame direction as your vehicle and are ahead ofyour vehicle. City Safety can also detect pedes-trians, cyclists or large animals that are crossingthe road in front of your vehicle. If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian, large animal, cyclist or another vehicle, or with avehicle described in the section "City Safety incrossing traffic", the driver will be alerted withlight, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal. Atlower speeds, during hard braking or if the accel-erator pedal is pressed, the brake pedal pulsationwarning will not be given. The intensity of thebrake pedal pulsations varies according to thevehicle's speed.
2 - Brake assistance
If the risk of a collision increases after the colli- sion warning, brake support will be activated. If the system determines that the pressure the driver is exerting on the brake pedal is insufficientto prevent the collision, brake support willincrease pressure.
