Activating or deactivating Connected Safety
For Connected Safety to be able to share information about road conditions with otherdrivers, the function must be activated. If youdo not wish to share information, the functioncan be deactivated.
Activate or deactivate the function using this button inthe center display's Functionview.
Illuminated button indicator light – the function is activated.
Extinguished button indicator light – thefunction is deactivated.
At activation, the driver must accept the spe-cial terms and conditions shown in the display before an Internet connection 12
can be estab-
lished. The driver must, for example, accept that data is sent from the vehicle using thedriver's cellular phone. Even when your vehicle is not connected to the Internet, you will still be notified if the sys-tem in your own vehicle detects slippery roadconditions. For Connected Safety to functionat full capacity, your vehicle needs to be con-nected to the Internet.

Connected Safety limitations
Information on vehicles with activated hazard warning flashers or which have detected slip-pery road conditions is not always communi-cated between all vehicles in the affectedarea.
This may be the case if: No or insufficient Internet connection.
The maneuvers (steering wheel move- ments, acceleration or braking) made bythe vehicles on slippery surfaces are tooweak for friction between the tires androad to be detected.
Vehicles that have detected slippery roadconditions or activated hazard warningflashers have not activated the function.
Vehicles that have detected slippery roadconditions or activated hazard warningflashers are not equipped with the func-tion.
Insufficient GPS/satellite navigation mayprevent warnings.
Slippery road conditions were detected orhazard warning flashers were activated ona road that is not registered in the VolvoCars database.
Connected Safety is not developed on allmarkets and does not cover all areas. Con-

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.
Using engine braking instead of applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applying the brakes. On downgrades, it cansometimes be desirable to roll a bit faster andlet speed be reduced instead by engine brak-ing alone. The driver can temporarily disen-gage the Cruise Control braking function. To disengage CC:
–Press the accelerator pedal about halfway down and then release it.
> Cruise Control will automatically disen-
gage the automatic brake function and speed will only be reduced using theengine braking function.

standby
mode
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 44
) can be deac-
tivated and put in standby mode. This may happen automatically or be due to driverintervention.
Standby mode means that the function is selected in the instrument panel but not acti-vated. In standby mode, Adaptive Cruise Con-trol will not regulate speed or distance to thevehicle ahead.
Standby mode due to action by the
driver
Adaptive Cruise Control will be deactivatedand put in standby mode if any of the follow-ing occurs:
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 accel-erator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehi-cle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle willreturn to the set speed when the acceleratorpedal is released.
WARNING
If Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode, the driver must intervene andregulate both speed and distance tothe vehicle ahead.
If the vehicle comes too close to a vehi-cle ahead when Adaptive Cruise Con-trol is in standby mode, the driver canbe warned of the short distance by the Distance Alert
* function.
Automatic standby mode
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an acoustic signal and a mes-sage on the instrument panel.
The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, apply the brakes if necessary,and maintain a safe distance to othervehicles.
The function may automatically go intostandby mode if one of the following occurs: One of the systems that Adaptive Cruise Control is dependent on stops working,

Pilot Assist *53
Pilot Assist can help the driver keep the vehi- cle in the current traffic lane and maintain aneven speed and a set time interval to thevehicle ahead.
Get to know Pilot Assist
The camera/radar sensor monitors the distance to the vehicle ahead and detects lane markings.
Camera and radar sensor

Pilot Assist helps to steer the vehicle, and you may need to drive a few miles with Pilot Assistbefore you feel completely at home with the function. It is important to be familiar with all of the function's applications and limitations in order to take advantage of all it has to offer. The Pilot Assist function is primarily intended for use on highways and other major roadswhere it can help provide a more comfortableand relaxing driving experience. The driver sets the desired speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist monitors thedistance to the vehicle ahead and the trafficlane's side markers using the camera. The sys-tem maintains the set time interval to the vehi-cle ahead by automatically adjusting your vehi-cle's speed and keeps your vehicle in its laneby providing steering assistance. If the Curve Speed Assist (CSA)
* function is
activated, it may also affect the vehicle's speed. Pilot Assist regulates speed by accelerating and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emita slight sound when they are being used toadjust speed. Pilot Assist is designed to:
smoothly regulate speed. The driver must apply the brakes in situations requiringimmediate braking. For example, whenthere are great differences in speedbetween vehicles or if the vehicle aheadbrakes suddenly. Due to limitations in the camera and radar sensor, braking mayoccur unexpectedly or not at all.
follow a vehicle ahead in the same laneand maintain a time interval to that vehicleset by the driver. If the radar sensor doesnot detect a vehicle ahead, it will insteadmaintain the speed set by the driver. Thiswill also happen if the speed of the vehicleahead exceeds the set speed for your vehi-cle.
The vehicle's position in the traffic
lane
When Pilot Assist helps to steer, it attempts toposition the vehicle halfway between the visi-ble lane marking lines. For a smoother drive, itis a good idea to allow the vehicle to find agood position. The driver can always adjustthe position him/herself by increasing steeringinput. It is important for the driver to makesure the vehicle is positioned safely in the lane. If Pilot Assist does not position the vehicle appropriately in the lane, the driver should turnoff Pilot Assist or switch to Adaptive Cruise Control *.
