Active chassis* (Four C)
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates thecharacteristics of the shock absorbers so thatthe vehicle's driving characteristics can beadjusted. There are three settings: Comfort,Sport and Advanced.
Operation
Chassis settings
Use the buttons in the center console to change setting. The setting in use when theengine is switched off is activated the nexttime the engine is started.
ComfortComfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride and the transmission shifts gears at lowerrpm. This mode is particularly suitable forlong-distance highway driving. The indicatorlight in the button will be on when this modeis selected.
SportIn this mode, the vehicle's body sway is reduced during cornering and steeringresponse is more immediate. The transmis-sion shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driv-ing. The indicator light in the button will be onto indicate that Sport mode has beenselected.
AdvancedIn this mode, body sway in curves is minimal and steering response is very direct. Gearshifting is done at high rpm in each gear fordynamic and active driving.

Stability system – introduction
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system consists of a number of functions designed tohelp reduce wheel spin, counteract skiddingand to generally help improve directional sta-bility.
A pulsating sound will be audiblewhen the system is actively operat-ing and is normal. Acceleration willalso be slightly slower than normal.
WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot deal with all situations or road conditions. The driver is always responsible for oper- ating the vehicle in a safe manner inaccordance with current traffic regulations.
ESC consists of the following functions:
• Traction control
• Spin control
• Active Yaw Control
Traction Control (TC)This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin at low speeds by transferringpower from a drive wheel that begins to losetraction to the wheel on the opposite side ofthe vehicle (on the same axle).

Function overview 1
Warning light, braking by driver required
Controls in steering wheel
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 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 a2-second interval will vary according thespeed 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 theadaptive 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 Adaptive Cruise Control – limita-tions (p. 180).
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. Thedriver 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 Collision warning* –function (p. 198)) in the windshield to alertthe 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.

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 adjust- ment. Different time intervals canbe selected and are shown in the instrument panel
2
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.

Radar sensor
The radar sensor is designed to help detect cars or larger vehicles driving in the samedirection as your vehicle, in the same lane.
The radar sensor and its limitationsIn addition to being used by the AdaptiveCruise Control (ACC), the radar sensor is alsoused by Distance Alert (see Distance Alert –introduction (p. 185)) and Collision Warningwith Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detec-tion (see Collision warning – introduction(p. 196)).
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 in heavy 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.

Adaptive Cruise Control – limitations
The ACC cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions.
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.

Distance Alert – introduction
Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Con- trol and is a function that provides informationabout the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
IntroductionDistance Alert is active at speeds aboveapproximately 18 mph (30 km/h). Time inter-val information is only given for a vehicle thatis driving ahead of your vehicle in the samedirection. No information is provided for vehi-cles driving toward you, moving very slowly,or at a standstill.
Amber warning light3
.
An amber warning light in the windshield glows steadily if your vehicle is closer to theone ahead than the set time interval.
NOTE
Distance Alert only monitors distance to the vehicle ahead while Adaptive CruiseControl is in standby mode or off.
WARNING
Distance Alert only indicates the distance to the vehicle ahead. It does not affect thespeed of your vehicle.

Distance Alert – limitations
Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Con- trol and is a function that provides informationabout the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
LimitationsDistance Alert uses the same radar sensorused by Adaptive Cruise Control and the Col-lision Warning system. See Adaptive CruiseControl – limitations (p. 180) for more infor-mation on the radar sensor’s limitations.
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.
WARNING
•Bad weather or winding roads may affect the radar sensor’s capacity todetect vehicles ahead.
• The size of the vehicle ahead, such asa motorcycle, may also make it difficultto detect. This may result in the warn-ing light illuminating at a shorter dis-tance than the one that has been set,or that the light will not come on at all.

Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield 5
City Safety™ monitors traffic ahead of you using a laser sensor mounted in the uppersection of the windshield. If a collision isimminent, City Safety™ will automaticallyapply the brakes, which may feel like hardbraking. If the difference in speed between your vehi- cle and the vehicle ahead is more thanapproximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City Safety™alone cannot prevent a collision from takingplace. The driver must apply the brakes tohelp avoid a collision or reduce its effect. When the function activates and applies the brakes, a message will appear in the informa- tion display to indicate that the system is/hasbeen active.
NOTE
•
When City Safety™ applies the brakes, the brake lights will illuminate.
• In cases where City Safety™ has stop-ped the vehicle, the system will thenrelease the brakes. The driver mustapply the brakes to keep the vehicle ata standstill.
