Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driver support systems that can provide thedriver with active or passive assistance in var-ious situations.
The systems can, for example, help the driver:
maintain a set speed
maintain a set time interval to the vehicle ahead
help prevent a collision by warning thedriver and applying the brakes
park the vehicle.
Some of the systems are standard and othersare options. This also varies from market tomarket.

Speed-dependent steering wheel resistance Speed-dependent power steering increases the steering wheel resistance in pace withthe vehicle's speed, which can help give thedriver an enhanced feeling of control and sta-bility.
Steering is stiffer on highways. When parking and at low speeds, it will be easier to movethe steering wheel.
NOTE
In rare situations, the power steering may become too hot andrequire temporary cooling – dur-ing such time the power steering
will work at reduced output and the steer-ing wheel may feel more difficult to move. The message
Power steering Assistance
temporarily reduced will be displayed
along with this symbol in the instrument panel.
While the power steering is working at reduced power, the driver support func-tions and systems with steering assistanceare not available.

Electronic Stability Control
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC 1
) func-
tion helps the driver avoid skidding and improves the vehicle's directional stability.
This symbol will be displayed in the instrument panel whenthe system is intervening. When the system has inter- vened to apply the brakes, apulsing sound may be heard
and the vehicle may accelerate more slowlythan expected when the accelerator pedal isdepressed.
The system consists of the following sub-func- tions:
Stability control 2
Spin control and active yaw control
Engine drag control
Trailer Stability Assist
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.
Stability control 2This function helps control the driving andbraking force of each individual wheel in anattempt to stabilize the vehicle.

) may be displayed in the instrument panel. Several examples are provided below.
Symbol Message Meaning
Steady glow for approx. 2 seconds. System check when the engine is started.
Flashing light. The system is actively operating.
Steady glow. Sport mode is activated.
NOTE! The system is not deactivated in this mode, but has partially
reduced functionality.
ESC Temporarily offThe system's functionality has been temporarily reduced due to high brake system temperatures. The function will be automatically reactivated when the brakes have cooled.
ESC Service requiredThe system is not functioning properly. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine and then restart it.
A text message can be erased by briefly press- ing the
button in the center of the right-

Distance Alert *10
The Distance Alert function can help the driver become aware if the time interval tothe vehicle in front is too short. The vehicle must be equipped with a head-up display * in
order to display Distance Alert.
Symbol for Distance Alert on the windshield with head-up display
In vehicles equipped with a head-up display, a symbol will be displayed on the windshield aslong as the time interval to the vehicle aheadis shorter than the set time interval. However, the
Show Driver Support function must be
activated under Settings in the vehicle's menu system. Distance Alert is active at speeds above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts for vehicles ahead moving in the same directionas your vehicle. No distance information isprovided for oncoming, slow-moving or sta-tionary vehicles.
NOTE
Visual warnings on the windshield may be difficult to notice in cases of strong sun-light, reflections, extreme light contrasts,or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or isnot looking straight ahead.
NOTE
Distance Alert is deactivated while Adap- tive Cruise Control
* or Pilot Assist * is
active.
WARNING
Distance Alert only reacts of the time inter- val to the vehicle ahead is shorter than thepreset value – vehicle speed is not affec-ted.

Distance Alert functionality may be reduced in certain situations. The function is onlyavailable in vehicles that can display informa-tion on the windshield with a head-up dis- play *.
WARNING
Detection ability may be affected by vehicle size, e.g. motorcycles, whichcan cause the warning light to come onat a shorter time interval than that setor cause the warning to be temporarilyabsent.
Very high speeds can cause the light tocome on at a shorter time interval thanthat set due to limitations in the rangeof the radar unit.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

brakes to emit a slight sound when they are being used to adjust speed. Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts to regulate speed smoothly. The driver mustapply the brakes in situations requiring imme-diate braking. For example, when there aregreat differences in speed between vehicles orif the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. Due tolimitations in the radar sensor, braking mayoccur unexpectedly or not at all. Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintaina time interval to that vehicle set by the driver.If the radar sensor does not detect a vehicleahead, it will instead maintain the speed setby the driver. This will also happen if the speedof the vehicle ahead exceeds the set speed foryour vehicle.
CAUTION
Only a workshop may perform mainte- nance on driver support components – anauthorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended.

WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance sys- tem. The driver is always responsibleand must intervene if the system failsto detect a vehicle ahead.
The function does not brake for peopleor animals and does not brake for smallvehicles, such as bikes and motorcy-cles. Similarly, it does not brake for lowtrailers, oncoming, slow-moving or sta-tionary vehicles and objects.
Do not use the function in demandingsituations, such as in city traffic, atintersections, on slippery surfaces,with a lot of water or slush on the road,in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, onwinding roads, or on on/off ramps.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.
