Setting a time interval for Distance
Alert38
The Distance Alert function can be set to differ- ent time intervals.
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selectedand are shown in the instru-ment panel as 1–5 horizontalbars. The more bars, the longerthe time interval. One bar rep-resents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 barsrepresents approx. 3 seconds.
The same symbol appears when the Adaptive Cruise Control function is activated.
Controls for setting a time interval.

NOTE
• The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the distance between them for aset time interval.
• Only use the time intervals permitted bylocal traffic regulations.
• The set time interval is also used by theAdaptive Cruise Control and Pilot Assistfunctions.
WARNING
•Only use a time interval suitable for the current traffic conditions.
• The driver should be aware that shorttime intervals give them limited time toreact and act to any unforeseen trafficsituation.

Distance Alert limitations39
Distance Alert functionality may be reduced in certain situations.WARNING
• The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. 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. Poorweather or winding roads can affect theradar sensor's capacity to detect vehiclesahead.
• 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 shorter

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.

Activating and starting AdaptiveCruise Control Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 44
) must first be
activated and then started before it can regulate speed and distance.
Putting Adaptive Cruise Control in standby mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode each time the engine is started. To put ACC in standbymode from active mode:
–Press ◀ (2) or ▶ (3) on the steering wheel
keypad and scroll to the
(4) function.
> The symbol will appear and Adaptive Cruise Control will go into standby mode.
Starting/activating Adaptive Cruise Control
To start ACC:
• The driver's seat belt must be buckled and the driver's door must be closed.
• There must be a vehicle ahead (target vehi-cle) within a reasonable distance or yourvehicle's current speed must be at least15 km/h (9 mph).
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
–With the (4) function displayed, press
(1) on the steering wheel keypad.
> Adaptive Cruise Control will start and the current speed will be stored, which will be shown by numbers in the center of thespeedometer. ACC will only regulate the timeinterval to the vehicle aheadwhen the distance symbolshows two vehicles.
A speed interval will be marked at the same time. The higher speed is the set speed for your vehicle and thelower speed is the speed of thevehicle ahead (target vehicle).

Switching between Cruise Controland Adaptive Cruise Control
In vehicles equipped with Adaptive Cruise Con- trol (ACC 56
), the driver can switch between
Cruise Control (CC 57
) and ACC.
A symbol in the instrument panel indicates which cruise control system is active
CCACC
AA
Cruise control Adaptive Cruise Control
A WHITE symbol: The function is active. GRAY symbol: Standby mode
Switching from ACC to CCTo do so: 1. Press the
button on the steering wheel
keypad to put Adaptive Cruise Control in standby mode. 2.
Tap the
Cruise Control button in the center
display's Function view. The button's indica- tor will change from GRAY to GREEN.
> The symbol in the instrument panel will
change from
ACC to CC, indicating that Adaptive Cruise Con- trol is off and Cruise Control is in standbymode.
3. Pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad.
> Cruise Control will start and the vehicle's current speed will be set.
WARNING
Switching from ACC to CC means that the vehicle:
• will no longer maintain a preset time interval to the vehicle ahead.
• will only follow the stored speed and thedriver must therefore apply the brakeswhen necessary.
If CC is active when the engine is turned off, ACC
will be automatically activated the next time theengine is started.
