WARNING
The ASL function is supplementary driversupport intended to facilitate driving andhelp make it safer – it cannot handle allsituations in all traffic, weather and roadconditions.
Even if the driver can clearly see thespeed limit sign, the speed informationfrom the Road Sign Information (RSI)function to ASL may be incorrect. In suchcases, the driver must intervene andaccelerate or brake to an appropriatespeed.
ASL 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.
See also the heading "Road Sign Infor-mation limitations".

Activating/deactivating AutomaticSpeed Limiter
The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) is a supple-ment to the Speed Limiter (SL) and can be acti-vated/deactivated.

2.Pressing the button on the steeringwheel keypad.
> ASL will be activated and set to the vehi-cle's current speed.
NOTE
If the Automatic Speed Limiter function isactivated, road sign information is shown
in the driver display even if RSI15 is notactivated.
To remove road sign information from thedriver display, you must deactivate bothAutomatic Speed Limiter and RSI.
When the Automatic Speed Limiter func-tion is activated but RSI is deactivated, nowarnings are given from RSI. RSI mustalso be activated for warnings to be pos-sible.
Deactivating ASL
To deactivate the Automatic Speed Limiter:
–Tap the Speed Sign Assist button in Func-tion view.
> ASL will be deactivated, the indicator lightin the button will be GRAY and SL will beactivated instead.
WARNING
The vehicle will no longer follow the postedmaximum speed after switching from ASL toSL – it then only follows the maximum speedstored in the memory.

Distance Alert*26
The Distance Alert27 function can help the driverbecome aware if the time interval to the vehiclein front is too short.
However, the vehicle must be equipped with ahead-up display in order to display the DistanceAlert, which will then be indicated by a symbolon the windshield as long as the time interval tothe vehicle ahead is shorter than the set timeinterval.
Distance Alert is active at speeds above 30 km/h(20 mph) and only reacts for vehicles ahead mov-ing in the same direction as your vehicle. No dis-tance information is provided for oncoming, slow-moving or stationary vehicles.
NOTE
Distance Alert is only available in vehiclesthat can display information on the wind-shield with a head-up display.
Distance Alert is deactivated while Adap-tive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist isactive.

Distance Alert limitations32
Distance Alert functionality may be reduced incertain situations.
WARNING
The radar sensor has a limited field ofvision. 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
