All Wheel Drive: AWD 4
Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All Wheel Drive, which means that power isdistributed automatically between the frontand rear wheels. Under normal driving condi-tions, most of the engine's power is directedto the front wheels. However, if there is anytendency for the front wheels to spin, an elec-tronically controlled coupling distributespower to the wheels that have the best trac-tion.
NOTE
The message AWD disabled Service
required will be appear in the information
display if an electrical fault should occur in the AWD system. A warning light will alsoilluminate in the instrument panel. If thisoccurs, have the system checked by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.
3 If the battery is dead, the electric parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 121.4
Standard on certain models.

Brake system
The brake system is a hydraulic system con- sisting of two separate brake circuits. If aproblem should occur in one of these circuits,it is still possible to stop the vehicle with theother brake circuit. If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pres-sure, the stopping distance will be longer. A warning light in the instrument panel will light up to warn the driver that a fault hasoccurred. If this light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluidlevel in the reservoir.
NOTE
Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal – do not pump thebrakes.
WARNING
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in
the reservoir or if a brake system message is shown in the information display: DO
NOT DRIVE . Have the vehicle towed to a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian and have the brake system inspected.
Brake pad inspectionOn vehicles equipped with a jack*, the condi- tion of the brake pads can be checked byraising the vehicle (see page 312 for informa-tion about using the jack and removing awheel) and performing a visual inspection ofthe brake pads.
WARNING
• If the vehicle has been driven immedi- ately prior to a brake pad inspection,the wheel hub, brake components,etc., will be very hot. Allow time forthese components to cool before car-rying out the inspection.
• Apply the parking brake and put thegear selector in the Park (
P) position.
• Block the wheels standing on theground, use rigid wooden blocks orlarge stones.
WARNING
•Use the jack intended for the vehicle when changing a tire. For any otherjob, use stands to support the vehicle.
• The jack should be kept well-greasedand clean, and should not be dam-aged.
• Be sure the jack is on a firm, level,non-slippery surface.
• No objects should be placed betweenthe base of jack and the ground, orbetween the jack and the attachmentbar on the vehicle.
• The jack must correctly engage thejack attachment.
• Never allow any part of your body tobe extended under a vehicle suppor-ted by a jack.
Brake lightsThe brake lights come on automatically when the brakes are applied.
Adaptive brake lightsThe adaptive brake lights activate in the event of sudden braking or if the ABS system isactivated. This function causes an additionaltaillight on each side of the vehicle to illumi-nate to help alert vehicles traveling behind.

•When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressurein the brake system immediatelyincreases to the maximum level. Youmust maintain full pressure on thebrake pedal in order to utilize the sys-tem completely. There will be no brak-ing effect if the pedal is released. EBAis automatically deactivated when thebrake pedal is released.
• When the vehicle has been parked forsome time, the brake pedal may sinkmore than usual when the engine isstarted. This is normal and the pedalwill return to its usual position when itis released.

144* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an optional system designed to assist the driver by main-taining a set speed or a set time interval tothe vehicle ahead. It is primarily intended foruse on long straight roads in steady traffic,such as on highways and other main roads. When the driver has set the desired speed and the time interval to the vehicle ahead,ACC functions as follows:
• If there are no other vehicles in the lane ahead of you, your vehicle will travel atthe set speed.
• If ACC's radar sensor detects a slowermoving vehicle in the lane ahead, the sys-tem will adapt your vehicle's speed tohelp maintain the set time interval to thevehicle ahead. When there are no longerslower moving vehicles ahead, your vehi-cle will accelerate to resume the setspeed.
If ACC is switched off completely or in standby mode and your vehicle comes tooclose to another vehicle ahead, the driver willbe warned by the Distance Alert system (seepage 155).WARNING
• Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover all driving situations and traffic,weather and road conditions. The"Function" section provides informa-tion about limitations that the drivermust be aware of before using thisfeature.
• This system is designed to be a sup-plementary driving aid. It is not, how-ever, intended to replace the driver'sattention and judgement. The driver isresponsible for maintaining a safe dis-tance and speed and must intervene ifAdaptive Cruise Control does notmaintain a suitable speed or suitabledistance to the vehicle ahead.
• Maintenance of ACC components mayonly be performed by a trained andqualified Volvo technician.

Adaptive Cruise Control consists of: • A cruise control system to maintain a set speed
• A system to maintain a set distance to thevehicle ahead, which is expressed as atime interval. For example, you canchoose to remain approximately 2 sec-onds behind the vehicle ahead. Theactual distance required to maintain a

2-second interval will vary according the speed of the vehicles.
WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a colli- sion avoidance system. The driver isalways responsible for applying thebrakes if the system does not detectanother vehicle.
• Adaptive Cruise Control does not reactto people or animals, or small vehiclessuch as bicycles and motorcycles. Italso does not react to slow moving,parked or approaching vehicles, orstationary objects.
• Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control indemanding driving conditions such ascity driving or other heavy traffic situa-tions, in slippery conditions, whenthere is a great deal of water or slushon the road, during heavy rain orsnow, in poor visibility, on windingroads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same lane) is monitored by a radar sensor.Your vehicle's speed is regulated by acceler-ating and braking. The brakes may emit asound when they are being modulated by the adaptive cruise control system. This is nor-mal.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control system modulates thebrakes. Do not rest your foot under thebrake pedal.
The ACC system is designed to smoothly regulate speed. However, the driver mustapply the brakes in situations that requireimmediate braking. This applies when thereare great differences in speed between vehi-cles, or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
WARNING
Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not atall, see page 151.
Adaptive Cruise Control can be put in active mode at any permitted speed. However, if thevehicle's speed falls below 18 mph (30 km/h)or if engine speed (rpm) becomes too low,ACC disengages (goes into standby mode) and will no longer modulate the brakes

. The driver will then have to maintain a safe dis- tance to the vehicle ahead.
WARNING
When Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode or is switched off com-pletely, the brakes will not be modulatedautomatically. The driver must assume fullcontrol over the vehicle.
Warning light—driver braking requiredAdaptive Cruise Control can exert brake force that is equivalent to approximately 40% ofthe vehicle's total braking capacity. In situa-tions requiring more brake force than ACCcan provide and if the driver does not applythe brakes, an audible signal from the Colli-sion Warning system will sound and warninglight will illuminate (see page 165) in thewindshield to alert the driver to react.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if thedriver is not looking straight ahead maymake the visual warning signal in the wind-shield difficult to see.
