Loading – general
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is determined by factors such as the number ofpassengers, the amount of cargo, the weight ofany accessories that may be installed, etc.
To increase loading space, the rear seat back- rests can be folded down, see Rear seats – fold-
ing backrest (p. 81).
When loading the trunk, keep the following in
mind:
The trunk lid can be unlocked an pop-ped open slightly via the button locatedon the lighting panel, see Locking/
unlocking – trunk (p. 160).
• Load objects in the trunk against the back- rest whenever possible.
• Unstable loads can be secured to the loadanchoring eyelets with straps or web lash-ings to help keep them from shifting.
• Stop the engine and apply the parking brakewhen loading or unloading long objects. Thegear selector can be knocked out of positionby long loads, which could set the vehicle inmotion.
WARNING
• Stop the engine, put the gear selector in P
, and apply the parking brake when
loading or unloading long objects.
• The vehicle's driving characteristics may change depending on the weight and dis-tribution of the load.
• A 44-pound (20 kg) object produces aforce of 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg) in ahead-on collision at 30 mph (50 km/h).
• The rear seat should not be loaded to alevel higher than 2 in. (5 cm) below theupper edge of the rear side windows.Objects placed higher than this levelcould impede the function of the VolvoInflatable Curtain.

Active chassis * (Four C)
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the characteristicsof the shock absorbers so that the vehicle's driv-ing characteristics can be adjusted. There arethree settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced.
Operation
Chassis settings
Use the buttons in the center console to change setting. The setting in use when the engine isswitched off is activated the next time the engineis started.
Comfort
Comfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride and the transmission shifts gears at lower rpm. Thismode is particularly suitable for long-distancehighway driving. The indicator light in the buttonwill be on when this mode is selected.
Sport
In this mode, the vehicle's body sway is reduced during cornering and steering response is moreimmediate. The transmission shifts up at higherrpm for sportier driving. The indicator light in thebutton will be on to indicate that Sport mode hasbeen selected.
Advanced
In this mode, body sway in curves is minimal and steering response is very direct. Gear shifting isdone at high rpm in each gear for dynamic andactive driving.

Stability system – introduction The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system consists of a number of functions designed tohelp reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding andto generally help improve directional stability.
A pulsating sound will be audible when the system is actively operating and isnormal. Acceleration will also beslightly slower than normal.
WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot deal with all situations or road conditions. The driver is always responsible for operating the 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
• Corner Traction Control
Traction Control (TC)
This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin at low speeds by transferring power from adrive wheel that begins to lose traction to thewheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (on thesame axle).

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 a timeinterval. For example, you can choose toremain approximately 2 seconds behind thevehicle ahead. The actual distance required

178 to maintain a 2-second interval will vary according the speed of the vehicles.
WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is alwaysresponsible for applying the brakes if thesystem does not detect another vehicle.
• Adaptive Cruise Control does not react topeople or animals, or small vehicles suchas bicycles and motorcycles. It also doesnot react to slow moving, parked orapproaching vehicles, or stationaryobjects.
• Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control indemanding driving conditions such as citydriving or other heavy traffic situations, inslippery conditions, when there is a greatdeal of water or slush on the road, duringheavy rain or snow, in poor visibility, onwinding roads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same lane) is monitored by a radar sensor. Your vehi-cle's speed is regulated by accelerating andbraking. The brakes may emit a sound when theyare being modulated by the adaptive cruise con-trol system. This is normal.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control system modulates the brakes.Do not rest your foot under the brake pedal.
The ACC system is designed to smoothly regu- late speed. However, the driver must apply thebrakes in situations that require immediate brak-ing. This applies when there are great differencesin speed between vehicles, or if the vehicle aheadbrakes suddenly.
WARNING
Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all, seeAdaptive Cruise Control – limitations (p. 186).
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) orif engine speed (rpm) becomes too low, ACC dis-engages (goes into standby mode) and will nolonger modulate the brakes. The driver will thenhave to maintain a safe distance to the vehicleahead.
WARNING
When Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode or is switched off completely, thebrakes will not be modulated automatically.The driver must assume full control over thevehicle.
Warning light—driver braking requiredAdaptive Cruise Control can exert brake force that is equivalent to approximately 40% of thevehicle's total braking capacity. In situationsrequiring more brake force than ACC can provideand if the driver does not apply the brakes, anaudible signal from the Collision Warning systemwill sound and warning light will illuminate (see Collision warning * – function (p. 204)) in the
windshield to alert the driver to react.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver isnot looking straight ahead may make the vis-ual warning signal in the windshield difficult tosee.

Adaptive Cruise Control – setting time interval
Setting a time interval
Controls and display
Decrease/increase time interval
The set time interval to vehicles ahead can be increased by pressing
and decreased by
pressing
. The current time interval is shown
briefly in the display following adjustment. Different time intervals can be selected and are shown in the instrument panel
2
as 1–5 hori-
zontal bars. The greater the number of bars, the longer thetime interval. One bar repre-sents a time interval of approxi-
mately 1 second; 5 bars is approximately3 seconds.
To set/change a time interval:
• Press the
/ buttons (3).
At low speeds, when the distance to the vehicle ahead is short, ACC increases the time intervalslightly. In order to follow the vehicle ahead assmoothly as possible, ACC allows the time inter-val to vary considerably in certain situations.
WARNING
• Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions.
• A short time interval gives the driver lim-ited reaction time if an unexpected situa-tion occurs in traffic.
