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).

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 49
). 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.

NOTE
ACC can keep the vehicle stationary for no more than 5 minutes – after that time theparking brake is applied and Adaptive CruiseControl is deactivated. The parking brake must be released before Adaptive Cruise Control can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivated when the vehicle is at a standstill and AdaptiveCruise Control will go into standby mode. Thismeans that the brakes will be released and thevehicle could begin to roll. The driver mustactively apply the brakes to keep the vehicle sta-tionary. This can occur if:
• the driver depresses the brake pedal
• the parking brake is applied
• the gear selector is moved to the
P
, N
or R
positions
• the driver puts Adaptive Cruise Control in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking BrakeIn certain situations, the parking brake will beapplied to keep the vehicle at a standstill. This occurs if Adaptive Cruise Control is keepingthe vehicle stationary using the brakes and:
• the driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt
• ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstill formore than approx. 5 minutes
• the brakes overheat
• the driver switches off the engine manually.

Adaptive Cruise Control limitations
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 55
) may have lim-
ited functionality in certain situations.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsAdaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended to be driven on flat roads. The function may not beable to maintain the correct time interval to thevehicle ahead when driving down steep hills. Thedriver should be extra attentive and prepared toapply the brakes.
• Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control if thevehicle is carrying a heavy load or towing atrailer.
Other limitations
•
The Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected if Adaptive Cruise Control is acti- vated.
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".

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.

Pilot Assist limitations
Pilot Assist functionality may be reduced in cer- tain situations.
Pilot Assist is a driver support function designed to simplify driving and assist the driver in manysituations. However, the driver is always responsi-ble for maintaining a suitable distance to vehiclesor objects around it and ensuring that the vehicleis correctly positioned in the traffic lane.
WARNING
In some situations, Pilot Assist may have trou- ble helping the driver properly or may bedeactivated automatically – we advise againstusing Pilot Assist in such cases. Examples ofsuch situations include:
• the lane markings are worn, missing or cross each other.
• lane division is unclear, for example, whenthe lanes divide or merge or at exits orwhen there are multiple sets of markings.
• edges or other lines than lane markingsare present on or near the road, e.g.curbs, joints or repairs to the road sur-face, edges of barriers, roadside edges orstrong shadows.
• the lane is narrow or winding.
• the lane contains ridges or holes.
• weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain,snow or fog or slush or reduced visibilitywith poor light conditions, backlighting,wet road surface, etc.
The driver should also note that Pilot Assist has the following limitations: • High curbs, roadside barriers, temporary obstacles (traffic cones, safety barriers,etc.) are not detected. Alternatively, theymay be detected incorrectly as lane mark-ings, with a subsequent risk of contactbetween the vehicle and such obstacles.

High temperaturesIf the temperature in the passenger compartment is very high, the camera/radar sensor will switchoff temporarily for approx. 15 minutes after theengine is started to protect its electronic compo-nents. When the temperature has cooled suffi-ciently, the camera/radar sensor will automati-cally restart.Damaged windshield
CAUTION
If there are cracks, scratches or stone chips on the windshield in front of any of the cam-era and radar unit "windows" and this coversan area of about 0.5 × 3.0 mm(0.02 × 0.12 in.) or more, contact a workshopto have the windshield replaced – an author-ized Volvo workshop is recommended. Failure to take action could result in reduced performance for the driver support systemsthat use the camera and radar unit. It could cause functions to be reduced, deac- tivated completely or produce an incorrectfunction response. To avoid the risk of loss of function, malfunc- tion or reduced function of the driver supportsystems that use the radar unit, the followingalso apply:
• Volvo advises
against repairing cracks,
scratches or stone chips in the area infront of the camera and radar unit – theentire windshield should instead bereplaced.
• Before replacing the windshield, contactan authorized Volvo workshop to verifythat the right windshield has beenordered and installed.
• The same type of windshield wipers or wipers approved by Volvo should be usedfor replacement.
CAUTION
If the windshield is replaced, the camera and radar unit must be recalibrated by a workshopto help ensure proper functioning of all of thevehicle's camera and radar-based systems –an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended.
