Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driversupport systems that help provide the driver withactive/passive support.
Some of these systems are standard while othersare optional and they are designed to e.g., helpthe driver maintain a set speed or a set distanceto a vehicle ahead, or warn the driver of a poten-tial collision situation and in certain cases applythe brakes if necessary. Certain optional systemscan also assist in various parking situations.

Adjustable steering force
Steering force increases with the speed of thevehicle to give the driver an enhanced sense ofcontrol and stability. At low speed the vehicle iseasier to steer in order to facilitate parking, etc.
Changing the steering force level
To change the level of steering force, see theinformation under the heading "individual" in arti-cle "Drive modes" for additional information.

NOTE
•This steering force level menu functioncannot be accessed when the vehicle isin motion.
•In certain situations, the power steeringfunction may become too hot and mustbe temporarily cooled. During cooling,power steering effect will be reduced andmore force may be necessary to turn thesteering wheel and a message will bedisplayed in the instrument panel.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps reducewheel spin, counteract skidding and to generallyhelp improve directional stability.
A pulsating sound will be audi-ble when the system is activelyoperating and is normal. Accel-eration may also be slightlyslower than normal.

WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot dealwith all situations or road conditions.
The driver is always responsible for operatingthe vehicle in a safe manner in accordancewith current traffic regulations.
ESC consists of the following functions:
•Traction control
•Spin control
•Active Yaw Control
•Engine Drag Control
•Trailer Stability Assist

Traction control
This function is designed to help reduce wheelspin by transferring power from a drive wheel that
begins to lose traction to the wheel on the oppo-site side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
Spin control
This function is designed to help prevent thedrive wheels from spinning while the vehicle isaccelerating.

Active Yaw Control
At low speeds, this function helps maintain direc-tional stability by braking one or more of thewheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid orslide laterally.

Engine Drag Control EDC
EDC helps keep the engine running if the wheelsshow a tendency to lock, e.g., when shifting downin the manual shifting mode or while using theengine's braking function on a slippery surface. Ifthe wheels were to lock, the vehicle wouldbecome more difficult to steer.

Trailer Stability Assist * 1
TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is towing atrailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun tosway.
This system is automatically deactivated if thedriver selects Sport mode.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)sport mode
ESC is always activated and cannot be switchedoff.
However, the driver can select Sport mode,which offers more active driving characteristics.
In Sport mode, the engine management systemmonitors movement of the accelerator pedal andsteering wheel for sportier driving and allowsmore lateral movement of the rear wheels beforeESC is triggered.
Under certain circumstances, such as when driv-ing with snow chains, or driving in deep snow orloose sand, it may be advisable to temporarily useSport mode for maximum tractive force.
If the driver releases pressure on the acceleratorpedal, ETC will also activate to help stabilize thevehicle.

Activating/deactivating Sport mode
In the center display's Functionview, tap ESC Sport Mode.The green indicator light in thebutton will illuminate to showthat the function has been acti-vated or gray when the functionis deactivated.
When Sport mode is activated, thissymbol will illuminate in the instrumentpanel. It will remain on until the driverdeactivates the function. ETC will alsoreturn to normal mode when the engine is restar-ted.

SymbolMessageDescription
ESC Temporarily offThe ESC system function has been temporarily reduced due to high brake disc temperature. The function reac-tivates automatically when the brakes have cooled.
ESC Service requiredThe ESC system is not functioning properly.
•Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine and restart it.
•If the message is still displayed when the engine has restarted, drive to an authorized Volvo workshop tohave the system inspected.

Roll stability control (RSC)
Volvo's Roll Stability Control (RSC) is a stabilitysystem designed to help minimize the risk of arollover in emergency maneuvers or if a skidshould occur.
RSC uses a gyroscopic sensor that registers theamount of change in the lateral angle at whichthe vehicle is leaning. Using this information, RSCcalculates the likelihood of a rollover. If there isan imminent risk of a rollover, the stability systemis activated, power to the engine is cut and thebrakes are applied to one or more of the wheelsuntil the vehicle regains stability.

Starting and activating the Speed
Limiter (SL)*
The Speed Limiter (SL) is a feature that has tobe selected and activated in order to set a maxi-mum speed.

Selecting SL (putting it in standby
mode)
Function buttons and symbols
–Press ◀ (1) or ▶ (3) to scroll to the Speed
Limiter () function.
>The symbol (4) will be displayed in theinstrument panel. This indicates that SLhas been selected and is in standbymode (no maximum speed has been set).
Activating SL (putting it in active mode
and setting a maximum speed)
The engine must be running before SL can beput in active mode. The lowest maximum speedthat can be set is 20 mph (30 km/h).
–With SL in standby mode (the will
be displayed), press the button (2).
>This puts SL in active mode and sets thevehicle's current speed as the maximumspeed.
