Introduction
The HomeLink 1
Wireless Control System pro-
vides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmittersused to activate devices such as gate opera-tors, garage door openers, entry door locks,security systems, even home lighting. Addi-tional HomeLink information can be found onthe Internet at www.homelink.com or byphoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.
WARNING
• If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is nearthe gate or door while it is in motion.
• When programming a garage dooropener, it is advised to park outside ofthe garage.
• Do not use HomeLink with any garagedoor opener that lacks safety stop andreverse features as required by U.S.federal safety standards (this includesany garage door opener model manu-factured before April 1, 1982). Agarage door that cannot detect anobject - signaling the door to stop andreverse - does not meet current U.S.federal safety standards. For moreinformation, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in othervehicles as well as for future HomeLink pro-gramming. It is also suggested that upon thesale of the vehicle, the programmed Home-Link buttons be erased for security purposes.Refer to “Resetting HomeLink Buttons” onpage 115.
Programming HomeLink
NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition to be switched on or be in the “accessories”position for programming and/or operationof HomeLink. It is also recommended thata new battery be placed in the hand-heldtransmitter of the device being pro-grammed to HomeLink for quicker trainingand accurate transmission of the radio-fre-quency signal. The HomeLink buttonsmust be reset first. When this has beencompleted, Homelink is in learning modeso that you can perform programming.
1. Position the end of your hand-held trans-
mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to pro-gram while keeping the indicator light inview.
2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held trans-mitter buttons until the HomeLink indica-tor light changes from a slow to a rapidlyblinking light. Now you may release boththe HomeLink and hand-held transmitterbuttons.

WARNING
•Always remove the remote key from the ignition slot when leaving the vehi-cle and ensure that the ignition inmode
0 (see page 85 for information
about the ignition modes), especially ifthere are children in the vehicle.
• On vehicles with the optional keylessdrive, never remove the remote keyfrom the vehicle while it is being drivenor towed.
• Always place the gear selector in Parkand apply the parking brake beforeleaving the vehicle. Never leave thevehicle unattended with the enginerunning.
• Always open garage doors fully beforestarting the engine inside a garage toensure adequate ventilation. Theexhaust gases contain carbon monox-ide, which is invisible and odorless butvery poisonous.
NOTE
•After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for ashort period. This is done to help bringcomponents in the emission controlsystem to their normal operating tem-perature as quickly as possible, whichenables them to control emissions andhelp reduce the vehicle's impact on the environment 3
.
CAUTION
• When starting in cold weather, the automatic transmission may shift up atslightly higher engine speeds than nor-mal until the automatic transmissionfluid reaches normal operating tem-perature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediatelyafter starting. Oil flow may not reachsome lubrication points fast enough toprevent engine damage.
• The engine should be idling when youmove the gear selector. Never acceler-ate until after you feel the transmissionengage. Accelerating immediately afterselecting a gear will cause harshengagement and premature transmis-sion wear.
• Selecting
P or N when idling at a
standstill for prolonged periods of timewill help prevent overheating of theautomatic transmission fluid.
3 If the gear selector is in the D or R positions and the car is not moving, engine speed (rpm) will be lower and it will take longer for the engine to reach normal operating temperature.

Engine Remote Start (ERS)*
IntroductionERS is a feature that makes it possible to remotely start the engine to cool or heat thepassenger compartment before driving. The climate control system will start using the same settings as when the engine wasswitched off. When the engine is started using ERS, it will run for a maximum of 15 minutes beforeautomatically switching off again. After 2 ERSstarts, the engine must be started in the nor-mal way before ERS can be used again.
NOTE
• Always adhere to applicable State, Province and/or Local laws regardingengine idling when using ERS.
• The service life of the remote key'sbattery is affected by ERS use. If thisfeature is used frequently, the batteryshould be replaced once a year, seepage 56).
WARNING
Keep the following in mind before using ERS
• The vehicle should be in view.
• The vehicle should be unoccupied.
• The vehicle must not be parked indoors or in an enclosed area.Exhaust fumes are harmful to thehealth.

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.

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 308 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.

142* 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 153).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 149.
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
2
. 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 163) 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.

When this symbol has changed col- ors from
white to green , ACC is in
active mode and the vehicle will
maintain the set speed.
This symbol indicates that you are approaching a vehi-cle ahead. ACC will switch from main- taining a set speed to main-
taining a set distance from
that vehicle.
When this happens, a speed range will be indicated on
the speedometer: The higher speed (the cur-
rently set speed (5)) will be marked in green.
The lower speed in the range is the speed of
the vehicle ahead.
Changing the set speed
• After a speed has been set, it can be increased or decreased by briefly press- ing the
or buttons. Each time one
of these buttons is pressed, the vehicle's speed changes by 3 mph(approximately 5 km/h). If the speed isincreased by pressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle's speed when the but-ton is pressed will be set.
• Press and hold one of the buttons toincrease/decrease the speed by 1 mph(approximately 1 km/h) at a time. Releasethe button when you have reached thedesired speed.
NOTE
•If one of the Adaptive Cruise Control buttons is pressed for more thanapproximately one minute, ACC will bedeactivated. The engine must then beswitched off and restarted to resetACC.
• In some situations Adaptive CruiseControl cannot be put in active mode.
Cruise control Unavailable is shown
in the display, see page 151.
Setting a time intervalThe 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 adjust- ment. Different time intervals canbe selected and are shown in the instrument panel
3
as 1–5
horizontal bars. The greater the number of bars, thelonger the time interval. Onebar represents a time interval
of approximately 1 second; 5 bars is approxi-mately 3 seconds.
To set/change a time interval:
• Press the
/ buttons (3).
At low speeds, when the distance to the vehi- cle ahead is short, ACC increases the timeinterval slightly. In order to follow the vehicleahead as smoothly as possible, ACC allowsthe time interval to vary considerably in cer-tain situations.
WARNING
• Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions.
• A short time interval gives the driverlimited reaction time if an unexpectedsituation occurs in traffic.

ACC in standby mode
The parking brake is applied
automatically
In certain situations, ACC will apply the park- ing brake in order to continue keeping thevehicle at a standstill. This happens if:
• The driver opens the door or takes off his/her seat belt
• DSTC is put in Sport mode (seepage 136)
• ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstillfor more than 2 minutes
• The engine has been switched off
• The brakes have overheated
The radar sensor and its limitations
In addition to being used by ACC, the radar sensor is also used by Distance Alert (seepage 153) and Collision Warning with FullAuto-brake and Pedestrian Detection (seepage 162). This sensor is designed to detectcars or larger vehicles driving in the samedirection as your vehicle, in the same lane.
WARNING
• If there is visible damage to the front grille or you suspect that the radarsensor may be damaged in any way,contact a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician as soon as possible.The radar sensor may only functionpartially (or not at all) if it is damagedor is not securely fastened in place.
• Accessories or other objects, such asextra headlights, must not be installedin front of the grille.
• Modification of the radar sensor couldmake its use illegal.
The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi- cles ahead is impeded:
• if the radar sensor is obstructed and can- not detect other vehicles, for example inheavy rain, or if snow or other objects areobscuring the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean.
• if the speed of vehicles ahead is signifi- cantly different from your own speed.
Situations where ACC may not function optimally
WARNING
•The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detecta vehicle later than expected or notdetect other vehicles at all.
• If ACC is not functioning properly,cruise control will also be disabled.
