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.

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.

ACC will only regulate the timeinterval to the vehicle aheadwhen the distance symbolshows two vehicles.
A speed interval will be markedat the same time.
The higher speed is the setspeed for your vehicle and thelower speed is the speed of thevehicle ahead (target vehicle).

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 shouldturn off Pilot Assist or switch to AdaptiveCruise Control.

Automatic transmission
Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle at speedsfrom a standstill up to 200 km/h (125 mph).
The lowest speed that can be set for Pilot Assistis 30 km/h (20 mph). When following anothervehicle, ACC can monitor that vehicle's speedand slow your own vehicle down to a standstill,but it is not possible to set speeds lower than30 km/h (20 mph).
The highest possible speed that can be set is200 km/h (125 mph).

Factors the driver can control
The driver should be aware that the following fac-tors help conserve energy and improve drivingrange:
charging the battery regularly
preconditioning
Pure drive mode
climate control settings
speed and acceleration
the Hold function
tires and tire pressure.
The following table shows the approximate rela-tionship between constant speed and drivingrange. Driving at a lower constant speed helpsincrease the electric motor's driving range.
Constant speed
100 km/h (62 mph) 50 %
80 km/h (50 mph)70 %
60 km/h (37 mph) 90 %
50 km/h (31 mph) 100 %
NOTE
The figures shown in the tables pertain toa new vehicle.
None of the figures are absolute and areaffected by e.g. driving style, environmentand other conditions.

"Hold" and "Charge" functions
In certain situations, it can be useful to controlthe hybrid battery's charge level while driving.This is possible with the Hold and Charge func-tions.
Hold and Charge are available in all drivemodes. The functions will switch off if Pure drivemode is activated.
Function buttons for Hold and Charge
The functions can be activated in the center dis-play's Function view.
Hold
Battery level sustained forlater use.
This function retains the chargein the hybrid battery for theelectric motor and saves availa-ble electrical current for use ata later time, such as when driving in an urbanarea or residential neighborhood.
The vehicle will function as in normal hybrid driv-ing with a discharged battery - in addition toreusing energy from e.g. regenerative braking, thecombustion engine will be used more frequentlyto maintain the charge in the battery.
