Road Sign Information (RSI)*
The road sign information function (RSI – Road Sign Information) helps the driver toremember which speed-related road signs thecar has passed.
Examples of readable speed related signs 2
.
The RSI function gives information on current speed, e.g. that a motorway or road is star-ting/ending and when overtaking is prohibi-ted. If both a sign for motorway/road for motor- ised traffic and a sign showing the maximumpermitted speed are passed, RSI decides toshow the sign symbol for maximum permittedspeed.
WARNING
RSI does not work in all situations but is designed merely as a supplementary aid. The driver always bears ultimate responsi- bility for ensuring that the vehicle is drivensafely and that applicable road traffic rulesand regulations are followed.

Road sign information (RSI)* - operation
The road sign information function (RSI – Road Sign Information) helps the driver toremember which speed-related road signs thecar has passed. The function is operated as follows
Recorded speed information 3
.
When RSI has recorded a road sign with an imposed speed, the combined instrumentpanel displays the sign as a symbol.
Together with the symbol forthe current speed limit, asign showing that overtakingis prohibited may also bedisplayed where appropriate.

End of restriction or motorwayA corresponding road sign is shown in the combined instrument panel forapprox. 10 seconds in situations where RSIdetects a sign that involves the end of aspeed limit - or other speed-related informa-tion, e.g. end of a motorway. Examples of such signs are:
End of all restrictions.
End of motorway. Following which, the sign information is hid- den until the next speed-related sign isdetected.
Additional signs
Examples of additional signs3
.
Sometimes different speed limits are signpos- ted for the same road - an additional signthen indicates the circumstances under whichthe different speeds apply. The road sectionmay be particularly susceptible to accidentsin rain and/or fog, for example. An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use.
The speed applicable on anexit is indicated in certainmarkets by means of anadditional sign containing anarrow. Speed signs linked to this
type of additional sign are displayed only if the driver is using the direction indicator.
Some speeds are applicable only after e.g. a specific distance or at a certain time of day.The driver's attention is drawn to the situationby means of a symbol for an additional signunder the symbol showing speed.
Display of additional information
A symbol for additional sign in the form of an empty frame under the combined instrumentpanel's speed symbol means that the RSI hasdetected an additional sign with supplemen-tary information for the current speed limit.
Setting in MY CARThere are options for RSI in the MY CAR
menu system; see MY CAR (p. 103).

Speed warning
The driver can opt to receive a warning when the applicable speed limit is exceeded by5 km/h or more. This warning is given by thesymbol showing the applicable maximumspeed temporarily flashing when this speed is exceeded. The function can be activated/deactivated in the menu system

Road sign information (RSI)* - limitations
The road sign information function (RSI – Road Sign Information) helps the driver toremember which speed-related road signs thecar has passed. The function has the follow-ing limitations. The RSI function's camera sensor has limita- tions just like the human eye - read moreabout camera sensor limitations (p. 220)). Signs which indirectly provide information on a prevailing speed limit, e.g. name signs fortowns/districts, are not recorded by the RSIfunction. Here are several examples of what can dis- rupt the function:
• Faded signs
• Signs positioned on bends
• Rotated or damaged signs
• Concealed or poorly positioned signs
• Signs completely or partly covered with frost, snow and/or dirt.

Switch on and activateWhen the speed limiter is active, its symbol(6) is shown in combination with a mark (5) bythe set maximum speed in the combinedinstrument panel. Selection and storage of the highest possible speed in the memory can be made both dur-ing a journey and while stationary.
While driving1.
Press the steering wheel button to
switch on the speed limiter.
> The symbol (6) for speed limiter illumi- nates in the combined instrument panel.
2. When the car is moving at the desired highest possible speed: Press one of the steering wheel buttons
or until the
combined instrument panel shows a mark (5) by the desired maximum speed.
> The speed limiter is then active and the selected max. speed is stored in the memory.

–Depress the accelerator pedal fully.
> The combined instrument panel shows
the stored maximum speed with a col- oured mark (5) and the driver can tem-porarily exceed the set maximumspeed - the mark (5) changes colourduring this time from GREEN toWHITE. The speed limiter is automatically reac- tivated after the release of the acceler-ator pedal and the car's speed isslowed down to below the selected/stored maximum speed - the display'smark (5) changes colour from WHITEto GREEN and the car's maximumspeed is again limited.

Speed limiter* - alarm for speed exceeded
A (Speed Limiter) can be regarded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regulatesthe speed using the accelerator pedal but isprevented from accidentally exceeding apre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter. On a steep downhill gradient the speed limit- er's engine braking effect may be inadequateand the selected maximum speed is excee-ded. The driver is alerted about this with anacoustic signal. The signal is active until the driver has slowed to below the selected maximum speed.
NOTE
The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds if the speed has been exceeded by at least3 km/h provided that none of the buttons
or has been depressed during the
last half minute.

Cruise control* - managing speed
The cruise control (CC – Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an even speed. It ispossible to activate, set or change the speed.
Activating and setting the speedTo enable cruise control:
• Press the steering wheel button
> The cruise control symbol in the com-
bined instrument panel changes from WHITE to GREY and shows that thecruise control is in standby mode.
To activate cruise control:
• At the required speed - press the steering wheel button
or .
> The current speed is stored in the mem- ory and the combined instrument panel's marking (5) is illuminated/turns WHITE atthe selected speed.
NOTE
Cruise Control cannot be enabled at speeds below 30 km/h.
Changing the speedTo change the stored speed: • Adjust with short presses on
or -
every press gives +/- 5 km/h. The last presses made are stored in the memory.
To adjust +/- 1 km/h: •
Hold down the button and release it atthe required speed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel- erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does notaffect the cruise control setting - the carreturns to the set speed when the acceleratorpedal is released.
NOTE
If any of the Cruise Control buttons are held depressed for several minutes then itis blocked and deactivated. To be able toreactivate Cruise Control, the car must bestopped and the engine restarted.

Adaptive cruise control - ACC*
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead. The adaptive cruise control provides a more relaxing driving experience on long journeyson motorways and long straight main roads insmooth traffic flows. The driver sets the desired speed (p. 191) and time interval (p. 192) to the car in front.When the radar detector detects a slowervehicle in front of the car, the speed is auto-matically adapted to that. When the road isclear again the car returns to the selectedspeed. If the adaptive cruise control is switched off or set to standby mode (p. 193) and the carcomes too close to a vehicle in front, then thedriver is warned instead by the DistanceWarning (p. 202) function about the shortdistance.WARNING
The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and inter-vene when the adaptive cruise control isnot maintaining a suitable speed or suita-ble distance. The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. Read all the sections about the adaptive cruise control in the owner's manual inorder to learn about its limitations, ofwhich the driver should be aware before itis used. The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance andspeed, even when the adaptive cruise con-trol is being used.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of adaptive cruise control components must only be performed at aworkshop - an authorised Volvo workshopis recommended.
Automatic gearboxCars with automatic gearbox have enhanced functionality with the adaptive cruise control'sQueue Assist (p. 195).
