released.
If one of the cruise control buttons is kept depressed for more than approx. 1 minute cruise control is disengaged.
The engine must then be switched off in order to reset cruise control.
Automatic deactivation
Cruise control is automatically deactivated temporarily if one of the following occurs:
If the speed drops below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the brake pedal is depressed.
If the gear selector is moved to position N.
During wheel spin or wheel lock-up.
If the vehicle's speed is increased by using the accelerator pedal for more than 1 minute.
The currently set speed will be saved in the system's memory.

Adaptive Cruise Control-ACC
Introduction
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an optional system designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed or a set
distance to the vehicle ahead. It is primarily intended for use on long straight roads in steady traffic, such as on
highways and other main roads.
WARNING
Do not use the adaptive cruise control system in demanding driving conditions such as city traffic, winding roads,
at intersections, on slippery surfaces, in poor visibility, heavy rain, etc.
Maintenance of cruise control components must only be performed by an authorized Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions. The Function
section provides information about limitations that the driver must be aware of before using the adaptive cruise
control.
This system is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It is not, however, intended to replace the driver's
attention and judgement. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance and speed and must intervene if
adaptive cruise control does not maintain a suitable speed or suitable distance.
Function
Warning light, braking by driver required
Controls
Radar sensor in front grille
Adaptive cruise control consists of:
A cruise control system to maintain a set speed
A system to maintain a set distance to the vehicle ahead (expressed as a time interval. For example, you can choose
ProCarManuals.com

to remain approximately 2 seconds behind the vehicle ahead).
145 04 Comfort and driving pleasure
Adaptive Cruise Control-ACC
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsible for applying the
brakes if the system does not detect another vehicle.
Adaptive cruise control does not react to slow moving or stationary vehicles.
The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same lane) is measured by a radar sensor. Your vehicle's speed is regulated by
acceleration and braking. The brakes may emit a sound when they are being modulated by the adaptive cruise control
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 adaptive cruise control system is designed to follow the vehicle ahead of you in the same lane, at a set time
interval.
If the radar sensor has not detected a vehicle ahead, the system will then attempt to maintain the set speed. This is also
the case if the speed of the vehicle ahead exceeds the speed that you have set.
The adaptive cruise control system is designed to smoothly regulate speed. However, the driver must apply the brakes
in situations that require immediate braking. This applies when there are great differences in speed between vehicles,
or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
WARNING
Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all, see page 146
.
Adaptive cruise control can only be activated at speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h). If speed falls below 20 mph (30
km/h) or if engine speed (rpm) becomes too low, adaptive cruise control disengages and will no longer modulate the
brakes. In situations when adaptive cruise control cannot be activated Cruise Control Unavailable is shown in the
display, see page 149
.
WARNING
When adaptive cruise control disengages, the brakes will not be modulated automatically. The driver must assume
full control over the vehicle.
Warning light -driver braking required
Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to approximately 30% of the vehicle's total braking
capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than ACC can provide, if the driver does not apply the brakes, an
audible signal will sound and a red warning light will illuminate in the windshield.
ProCarManuals.com

NOTE
The red warning light may be difficult to see in strong sunlight or when sunglasses are being worn.
WARNING
Cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor, see page 146
. In some cases there may be no
warning or the warning may be delayed. The driver should always apply the brakes when necessary.
Automatic deactivation
Adaptive cruise control is linked to other systems such as the stability and traction control system (DSTC). If any of
these systems are not functioning properly, adaptive cruise control is automatically deactivated.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message Cruise Control Canceled is shown in the
display. The
146 04 Comfort and driving pleasure
Adaptive Cruise Control-ACC
driver must then intervene and adapt the vehicle's speed to the surrounding traffic. Automatic deactivation may be
caused if:
the vehicle's speed falls below 20 mph (30 km/h)
the wheels lose traction or if the anti-lock brake system is activated
brake temperature is high
engine speed (rpm) is too low
the radar sensor is obstructed by, for example, wet snow or rain.
The radar sensor and its limitations
The radar sensor is used both by the adaptive cruise control and the collision warning system. It is designed to detect
vehicles or larger vehicles driving in the same direction as your vehicle. The radar sensor does not detect pedestrians,
or oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and objects. Warnings are not given and the brakes are not applied in such
cases.
WARNING
Accessories or other objects must not be installed in front of the grille.
Modification of the radar sensor could make its use illegal.
The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles ahead is impeded:
if the radar sensor is obstructed and cannot detect other vehicles, for example in heavy rain, or if snow or other
objects are obscuring the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean.
ProCarManuals.com

if the speed of vehicles ahead is significantly different from your own speed.
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detect a vehicle other than the one expected or
not detect vehicles at all.
In certain situations, the radar sensor cannot detect vehicles at close quarters, for example a vehicle that suddenly
enters the lanes between your vehicle and the one that the system has already detected.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles not driving in the center of the lane may remain undetected.
