2. Place the remote key on the key symbol inthe backup reader in the tunnel console's cup holder.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release. > The alarm will be disarmed.
Turning off a triggered alarm
–Press the unlock button on the remote key or put the ignition into mode I by turning the
start knob clockwise and then releasing it.
NOTE
• Remember that the alarm is armed when the vehicle is locked.
• The alarm will be triggered if any of thedoors is opened from the inside.
Automatically arming and disarming the alarm
Automatically arming the alarm helps prevent inadvertently leaving the vehicle without alarmprotection. If the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key (and the alarm is disarmed) but none of thedoors or tailgate are opened within two minutes,the alarm will be automatically rearmed. The vehi-cle will also re-lock. On some markets, the alarm will be automatically armed following a slight delay after the driver'sdoor has been opened and closed without beinglocked. To change this setting:1.

Electronic Stability Control
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC 2
) function
helps the driver avoid skidding and improves the vehicle's directional stability.
This symbol will be displayed in the instrument panel when theESC system is intervening. When the ESC has intervened to apply the brakes, a pulsingsound may be heard and the
vehicle may accelerate more slowly than expec-ted when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The ESC system consists of the following sub- functions: • Stability control 3
• Spin control and active yaw control
• Engine drag control
• Trailer Stability Assist
WARNING
•The Electronic Stability Control system ESC is supplementary driver supportintended to facilitate driving and make itsafer – it cannot handle all situations inall traffic, weather and road conditions.
• ESC is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
Stability control 3This function helps control the driving and brak-ing force of each individual wheel in an attemptto stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw controlThis function is active at low speeds and brakesthe wheels that are spinning to transfer additionalpower from wheels that are not spinning. This function also helps prevent the wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC
4
) helps prevent inad-
vertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting orusing engine braking when driving at low speedson a slippery surface. Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impair the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist *5
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
6
) is designed to help
stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if thevehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For moreinformation, see "Trailer Stability Assist".
NOTE
The TSA function is deactivated if ESC Sport
Mode is activated.

Steady glow. Sport mode is activated.
Note: The ESC system is not deactivated in this mode, but has partially reduced functionality.
ESC Temporarily offThe ESC system's functionality has been temporarily reduced due to high brake system temperatures. The function will be automatically reactivated when the brakes have cooled. See the message in the instrument panel.
ESC Service requiredThe ESC system is not functioning properly.
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine and then restart it.
• Consult a workshop if the message persists
‒ an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

Deactivating and putting SpeedLimiter in standby mode
The Speed Limiter (SL 15
) can be temporarily
deactivated and put in standby mode.
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
To deactivate the Speed Limiter and put it in standby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel
(2).
> The speed limit markings and symbols in the instrument panel will change from WHITE to GRAY. This indicates that theSpeed Limiter is temporarily deactivatedand the driver can exceed the set maxi-mum speed.
Temporarily deactivating using the accelerator pedal
The set maximum speed can be temporarily deactivated and exceeded using the acceleratorpedal without first putting the Speed Limiter instandby mode, e.g. when quick acceleration isrequired. To do so:
1. Depress the accelerator as far as possible and then release it when the desired speed has been reached.
> The Speed Limiter will remain activatedand the symbol in the instrument panel will be WHITE.
2. Release the accelerator pedal fully when the temporary acceleration is completed.
> The vehicle will automatically slow downto a speed below the most recently set maximum speed.

Managing Cruise Control speedCruise Control (CC 29
) can be set to various
speeds.
Setting/changing set speed
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
For vehicles with only CC
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or
(3) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: Press briefly: each press
changes the speed in +/- 1 mph (+/- 1 km/h) increments.
• Press
and hold: Release the button when
the set speed indicator (4) has moved tothe desired speed. •
The most recently set speed will be stored.
If speed is increased by depressing the accelera- tor pedal while pressing the
(1) button on
the steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when the button is pressed will be stored as the set speed. 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.
For vehicles with both CC and ACC
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or
(3) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: Press briefly: each press
changes the speed in +/- 5 mph (+/- 5 km/h) increments.
• Press
and hold: Release the button when
the set speed indicator (4) has moved tothe desired speed.
• The most recently set speed will be stored.
If speed is increased by depressing the accelera- tor pedal while pressing the
(1) button on
the steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when the button is pressed will be stored as the set speed. Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
Using engine braking instead of
applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applyingthe brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes bedesirable to roll a bit faster and let speed bereduced instead by engine braking alone. Thedriver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Con-trol braking function. To disengage CC:
–Press the accelerator pedal about halfway down and then release it.
> Cruise Control will automatically disen- gage the automatic brake function and speed will only be reduced using theengine braking function.
How drive mode affects cruise controlThe way the cruise control maintains the vehicle'sspeed can vary depending on the selected drive mode 30

• 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.

Adaptive Cruise Control *
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 40
) helps the
driver maintain a constant speed with a set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive Cruise Control helps provide a more relaxed driving experience on long trips on high-ways or long, straight roads with even trafficflows.
The camera/radar sensor measures the distance to the vehicle ahead 41
.
The driver sets a speed and a time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the camera/radar sensor detects a slower-moving vehicle ahead, your vehicle's speed will be automatically adapted according to the set time interval to that vehicle. When there are no longer slower-moving vehicles ahead, thevehicle will return to the set speed.
WARNING
•
The Adaptive Cruise Control function is supplementary driver support intended tofacilitate driving and help make it safer –it cannot handle all situations in all traffic,weather and 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).
• Adaptive Cruise Control is not a substi-tute for the driver's attention and judg-ment. The driver is always responsible forensuring the vehicle is driven in a safemanner, at the appropriate speed, with anappropriate distance to other vehicles,and in accordance with current trafficrules and regulations.
NOTE
Depending on market, this function may be either Standard or Optional.
