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 symbol39.
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.

Setting Adaptive Cruise Controltime intervals
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC43) 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 interval44.
Reduce 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.

NOTE
The greater the vehicles' speed, thegreater the distance between them for aset time interval.
Only use the time intervals permitted bylocal traffic regulations.
If the Adaptive Cruise Control does notseem to respond with a speed increasewhen activated, it may be because thetime interval to the vehicle ahead isshorter than the set time interval.

WARNING
Only use a time interval suitable for thecurrent traffic conditions.
The driver should be aware that shorttime intervals give them limited time toreact and act to any unforeseen trafficsituation.

Setting how ACC should maintain
distance * to the vehicle ahead
A number of different settings can be made forhow Adaptive Cruise Control should maintain atime interval to the vehicle ahead. Settings aremade using the DRIVE MODE controls.
Select one of the following:
Eco - ACC will focus on providing optimalfuel economy, which will increase the timeinterval to the vehicle ahead.
Comfort - ACC will focus on following theset time interval to the vehicle ahead assmoothly as possible.
Dynamic - ACC will focus on following theset time interval to the vehicle ahead moreexactly, which could mean faster accelerationand heavier braking.

To temporarily deactivate Adaptive Cruise Controland put it in standby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel(2).
>The symbol in the instrument panelchanges color from WHITE to GRAY andthe set speed in the center of the speed-ometer will change from BEIGE to GRAY.

WARNING
If Adaptive Cruise Control is in standbymode, the driver must intervene and regu-late both speed and distance to the vehicleahead.
If the vehicle comes too close to a vehicleahead when Adaptive Cruise Control is instandby mode, the driver is instead warnedof the short distance by the Distance Alertfunction.

Standby mode due to action by the driver
Adaptive Cruise Control will be temporarily deac-tivated and put in standby mode if:
the brakes are applied
the gear selector is moved to N
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.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive Cruise Control is dependent on othersystems, such as Electronic Stability Control
(ESC46). If any of these other systems stopsworking, Adaptive Cruise Control will automati-cally 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:
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and ACC cannot determine if thevehicle ahead is stationary or if it is anotherobject, e.g. a speed bump.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatACC no longer has a vehicle to follow.
the driver opens the door.
the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
one or more of the wheels lose traction.
the brake temperature is high.
the parking brake is applied.
the camera/radar sensor is covered by snowor heavy rain (the camera lens/radar wavesare blocked)
