Pilot Assist30
Pilot Assist helps the driver keep the vehicle inthe current traffic lane by providing steeringassistance and maintaining an even speed and aset time interval to the vehicle ahead.

How Pilot Assist works
The Pilot Assist function is primarily intended foruse on highways and other major roads where itcan help provide a more comfortable and relaxingdriving experience.
The camera/radar sensor monitors the distance to thevehicle ahead and detects lane markings.
Camera and radar sensor
Distance monitor
Lane marker line monitors
The driver sets the desired speed and distance tothe vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist monitors the dis-tance to the vehicle ahead and the traffic lane'sside markers using the camera and radar sensor.The system maintains the set time interval to thevehicle ahead by automatically adjusting yourvehicle's speed and keeps your vehicle in its laneby providing steering assistance.
Pilot Assist's steering assistance is based onmonitoring the direction of the vehicle ahead andthe traffic lane's side marker lines. The driver canoverride Pilot Assist's steering recommendationsat any time and steer in another direction, e.g. tochange lanes or avoid obstacles on the road.
If the camera/radar sensor cannot detect thelane's side marker lines or if Pilot Assist is unablefor some other reason to clearly interpret thelane, Pilot Assist will temporarily deactivate steer-ing assistance until it can once again interpretthe lane markings. However, the speed and dis-tance warnings will remain active.

WARNING
Pilot Assist is deactivated automatically andresumes working without prior notice.
The color of the steering wheelsymbol indicates the currentstatus of steering assistance:
• GREEN indicates that steer-ing assistance is active.
• GRAY (as shown in illustra-tion) indicates that steering assistance is deacti-vated.
WARNING
Pilot Assist should only be used if there areclear lane lines painted on each side of thelane. All other use will increase the risk ofcontact with nearby obstacles that cannot bedetected by the functions.
30Depending on market, this function can be either standard or optional.

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver sup-port intended to facilitate driving and helpmake it safer – it cannot handle all situa-tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-tions.
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.
Driver support functions are 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.
Pilot Assist regulates speed by accelerating andbraking. 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 aheadin 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.

WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance system.The driver is always responsible and mustintervene if the system fails to detect avehicle ahead.
The function does not brake for people oranimals and does not brake for smallvehicles, such as bikes and motorcycles.Similarly, it does not brake for low trailers,oncoming, slow-moving or stationary vehi-cles and objects.
Do not use the function 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,or on on/off ramps.
CAUTION
Maintenance of driver support components
may only performed by a workshop31.

In curves and forks in the road
Pilot 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.
When the vehicle is approaching an off-rampor a fork in the road, the driver should steertoward the desired lane to indicate to PilotAssist the desired direction of travel.

Pilot Assist strives to keep the vehicle
in the center of the lane
When Pilot Assist provides steering assistance, itstrives to position the vehicle in the center of thelane between the lane markings. For the smooth-est driving experience possible, the driver shouldpermit the vehicle to find the optimal positioning.The driver should check that the vehicle is posi-tioned safely in the lane and can always adjustthe vehicle's position by applying more force tothe steering wheel.
If Pilot Assist does not position the vehicleappropriately in the lane, the driver should
31An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist will be temporarily deactivated andput in standby mode if:
the brakes are applied.
the gear selector is moved to N.
a turn signal is used for more than 1 minute.
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.
When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist'ssteering assistance will be temporarily deacti-vated. When the turn signal is switched off, steer-ing assistance will be automatically reactivated ifthe traffic lane's side markings can still bedetected.

Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, such
as Electronic Stability Control (ESC32). If any ofthese other systems stops working, Pilot Assistwill automatically switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver iswarned by an acoustic signal and a messageon the instrument panel.
The driver must then regulate vehiclespeed, apply the brakes if necessary, andmaintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standbymode if, e.g.:
the driver opens the door.
the brake temperature is high.
the driver's hands are not on the steeringwheel.
the parking brake is applied.
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
one or more of the wheels lose traction.
the camera/radar sensor is covered by snowor heavy rain (the camera lens/radar wavesare blocked).
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine ifthe vehicle ahead is stationary or if it isanother object, e.g. a speed bump.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatPilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.

Reactivating Pilot Assist from standby
mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may varydepending on model.
To reactivate Pilot Assist:
–Press the button on the steering wheel(1).
