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.

NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar unit,which has some general limitations – see thesection "Radar unit limitations".

Adaptive Cruise Control*
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC33) helps thedriver maintain a constant speed with a set timeinterval to the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive Cruise Control helps provide a morerelaxed driving experience on long trips on high-ways or long, straight roads with even trafficflows.
The camera/radar sensor measures the distance to thevehicle ahead34.
The driver sets a speed and a time interval to thevehicle ahead. If the camera/radar sensor detectsa slower-moving vehicle ahead, your vehicle'sspeed will be automatically adapted according tothe 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 issupplementary 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 beeither Standard or Optional.

Adaptive Cruise Control regulates speed byaccelerating and braking. It is normal for thebrakes to emit a slight sound when they arebeing used to adjust speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts to regu-late speed smoothly. The driver must apply thebrakes in situations requiring immediate braking.For example, when there are great differences inspeed between vehicles or if the vehicle aheadbrakes suddenly. Due to limitations in the radarsensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not atall.
Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to follow avehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain atime interval to that vehicle set by the driver. If theradar sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead, itwill instead maintain the speed set by the driver.This will also happen if the speed of the vehicleahead exceeds the set speed for your vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control can follow anothervehicle at speeds from a standstill up to200 km/h (125 mph).

WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a collisionavoidance system. The driver is alwaysresponsible and must intervene if the sys-tem fails to detect a vehicle ahead.
Adaptive Cruise Control does not brakefor people or animals and does not brakefor small vehicles, such as bikes andmotorcycles. Similarly, it does not brakefor low trailers, oncoming, slow-moving orstationary vehicles and objects.
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control indemanding situations, such as in city traf-fic, at intersections, on slippery surfaces,with a lot of water or slush on the road, inheavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, onwinding roads, or on on/off ramps.

CAUTION
Maintenance of Adaptive Cruise Control com-ponents may only be performed by a work-shop – an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-ommended.

Adaptive Cruise Control andcollision warning
Adaptive Cruise Control can alert the driver if thedistance to the vehicle ahead suddenly decrea-ses to an unsafe distance.
Collision warning audible signal and symbol35.
Acoustic collision warning signal
Collision warning symbol
Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
Adaptive Cruise Control utilizes approx. 40% ofthe 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 audible
warning signal will be activated to alert the driverthat immediate action is required.

WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Control only issues a warningfor vehicles detected by its radar unit – thus, awarning may come after a delay or not at all.
Never wait for a warning. Apply thebrakes when necessary.

Automatic transmission
Adaptive Cruise Control can follow another vehi-cle at speeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h(125 mph).
The lowest speed that can be set for AdaptiveCruise Control is 30 km/h (20 mph). When fol-lowing another vehicle, ACC can monitor thatvehicle's speed and slow your own vehicle downto a standstill, but it is not possible to set speedslower than 30 km/h (20 mph).
The highest possible speed that can be set is200 km/h (125 mph).

Setting Adaptive Cruise Controltime intervals
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC39) can be set tovarious time intervals to the vehicle ahead.
Different time intervals to thevehicle 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 ofapprox. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 barsrepresents approx. 3 seconds.
The same symbol appears when the DistanceAlert function is activated.

NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panelshows two vehicles, ACC is following the vehi-cle ahead at a preset time interval.
When only one vehicle is shown, there is novehicle ahead within a reasonable distance.
Controls for setting a time interval40.
Reduce the time interval
Increase the time interval
Distance indicator
–Press the (1) or (2) button to decrease orincrease the time interval.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the cur-rent time interval.
In order to help your vehicle follow the vehicleahead as smoothly and comfortably as possible,Adaptive Cruise Control allows the time intervalto vary noticeably in certain situations. At lowspeeds, when the distance to the vehicle aheadis short, Adaptive Cruise Control increases thetime interval slightly.

WARNING
When Adaptive Cruise Control follows anothervehicle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h(20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from amoving vehicle to a stationary one – AdaptiveCruise Control will ignore the stationary vehi-cle and instead accelerate to the storedspeed.
The driver must then intervene and applythe brakes.

Automatic standby mode when switching
targets
Adaptive Cruise Control will be disabled and gointo standby mode:
if your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and Adaptive Cruise Control cannotdetermine if the target object is a stationaryvehicle or another object, e.g. a speed bump.
if your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatAdaptive Cruise Control no longer has a vehi-cle to follow.

Automatic braking with AdaptiveCruise Control
The Adaptive cruise control (ACC47) has a spe-cial brake function in slow traffic and while sta-tionary.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a
standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop-ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-cally if the vehicle is stopped for less thanapprox. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3 sec-onds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving again,Adaptive Cruise Control will go into standbymode and the Auto-hold brake function will acti-vate.
–Adaptive Cruise Control can be reactivated inone of the following ways:
Pressing the button on the steeringwheel keypad.
Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> Adaptive Cruise Control will resume fol-lowing the vehicle ahead if it begins tomove within approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
ACC can keep the vehicle stationary for nomore than 5 minutes – after that time theparking brake is applied and Adaptive CruiseControl is deactivated.
The parking brake must be released beforeAdaptive Cruise Control can be reactivated.

Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivatedwhen 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 Rpositions
the driver puts Adaptive Cruise Control instandby mode.

Auto Activate Parking Brake
In certain situations, the parking brake will beapplied to keep the vehicle at a standstill.

WARNING
The Pilot Assist function is supplementarydriver 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 beeither Standard or Optional.
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.
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 avoidancesystem. 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 inPilot Assist may only be performed by a work-shop – an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-ommended.

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.
