Cruise Control Eco Cruise
In the ECO drive mode, cruise control's accelera- tion and deceleration will be smoother than inother drive modes to help provide optimal fuelefficiency and reduced environmental impact.Because of this, the vehicle's actual speed maybe slightly above or below the set speed. For more information, see "ECO drive mode" under "Eco Cruise".
Cruise Control Dynamic Cruise
With the Dynamic drive mode, cruise control's acceleration and deceleration will be faster andmore immediate than in other drive modes.

Deactivating and putting CruiseControl in standby mode
Cruise Control (CC 31
) can be temporarily put
into standby mode and then reactivated.
Deactivating and putting Cruise Control in standby mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
To put Cruise Control in standby mode:
–Press the button on the steering wheel
(2).
> The Cruise Control markings and symbols will change from WHITE to GRAY, indicat- ing that Cruise Control is temporarilydeactivated and the driver needs to con-trol the vehicle's speed.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Cruise Control will be temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode if:
• the brakes are applied
• the gear selector is moved to
N
• the vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute
The driver must then control the vehicle's speed. Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, willnot affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
Automatic standby mode
Cruise Control will be temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode if:
• the wheels lose traction
• the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high
• the temperature in the brake systembecomes too high
• the vehicle's speed goes below 30 km/h(20 mph).
The driver must then control the vehicle's speed.

DRIVER SUPPORT
290Adaptive Cruise Control regulates speed by accelerating and braking. It is normal for thebrakes to emit a slight sound when they arebeing used to adjust speed. Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts to regu- late speed smoothly. The driver must apply thebrakes in situations requiring immediate braking.For example, when there are great differences inspeed between vehicles or if the vehicle aheadbrakes suddenly. Due to limitations in the radarsensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not atall. Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain atime interval to that vehicle set by the driver. If theradar sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead, itwill instead maintain the speed set by the driver.This will also happen if the speed of the vehicleahead exceeds the set speed for your vehicle.
• Adaptive Cruise Control can follow anothervehicle at speeds from a standstill up to200 km/h (125 mph).
WARNING
• Adaptive Cruise Control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is alwaysresponsible and must intervene if the sys-tem fails to detect a vehicle ahead.
• Adaptive Cruise Control does not brakefor people or animals and does not brakefor small vehicles, such as bikes andmotorcycles. Similarly, it does not brakefor low trailers, oncoming, slow-moving orstationary vehicles and objects.
• Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control indemanding situations, such as in city traf-fic, at intersections, on slippery surfaces,with a lot of water or slush on the road, inheavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, onwinding roads, or on on/off ramps.
CAUTION
Maintenance of Adaptive Cruise Control com- ponents may only be performed by a work-shop – an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-ommended.

Adaptive Cruise Control utilizes approx. 40% of the vehicle's braking capacity. If a situationrequires more braking force than the AdaptiveCruise Control can provide, and if the driver doesnot apply the brakes, a warning light and audiblewarning signal will be activated to alert the driverthat immediate action is required.
WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Control only issues a warning for vehicles detected by its radar unit – thus, awarning may come after a delay or not at all.
• Never wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when necessary.

Switching target vehicles withAdaptive Cruise Control
At certain speeds, models with automatic trans- missions and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 53
)
can switch target vehicles.
Switching target vehicles
If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be stationary traffic ahead.
When Adaptive Cruise Control is actively follow- ing another vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h
(20 mph) and switches targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, Adaptive CruiseControl will brake for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When Adaptive Cruise Control follows another vehicle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h
(20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a moving vehicle to a stationary one – Adaptive Cruise Control will ignore the stationary vehi-
cle and instead accelerate to the stored speed. • The driver must then intervene and apply the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching
targets
Adaptive Cruise Control will be disabled and go into standby mode:
• if your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and Adaptive Cruise Control cannotdetermine if the target object is a stationaryvehicle or another object, e.g. a speed bump.
• if your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so thatAdaptive Cruise Control no longer has a vehi-cle to follow.

Automatic braking with AdaptiveCruise Control The Adaptive cruise control (ACC 54
) has a spe-
cial brake function in slow traffic and while sta- tionary.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop- ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-cally if the vehicle is stopped for less thanapprox. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3 sec-onds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving again,Adaptive Cruise Control will go into standbymode and the Auto-hold brake function will acti-vate.
–Adaptive Cruise Control can be reactivated in one of the following ways:
• Pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad.
• Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> Adaptive Cruise Control will resume fol- lowing the vehicle ahead if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.

WARNING
•The Pilot Assist function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driv-ing and help make it safer – it cannothandle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sectionsin the Owner's Manual about this functionto learn of its limitations, which the drivermust be aware of before using the func-tion (see the link list at the end of thisarticle).
• Pilot Assist should only be used if thereare clear lane lines painted on each sideof the lane. All other use will increase therisk of contact with nearby obstacles thatcannot be detected by the functions.
• Pilot Assist is not a substitute for the driv-er's attention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theproper position within the lane, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
NOTE
Depending on market, this function may be either Standard or Optional.
Pilot Assist regulates speed by accelerating and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a slightsound when they are being used to adjust speed. Pilot Assist attempts to smoothly regulate speed. The driver must apply the brakes in situationsrequiring immediate braking. For example, whenthere are great differences in speed betweenvehicles or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.Due to limitations in the camera and radar sen-sor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all. Pilot Assist is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain a time interval tothat vehicle set by the driver. If the radar sensordoes not detect a vehicle ahead, it will insteadmaintain the speed set by the driver. This will alsohappen if the speed of the vehicle aheadexceeds the set speed for your vehicle.
• Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle atspeeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h(125 mph).
• Pilot Assist can provide steering assistancefrom near-stationary speeds up to 140 km/h(87 mph).
WARNING
• Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must intervene if thesystem fails to detect a vehicle ahead.
• Pilot Assist does not brake for people,animals, objects, small vehicles (e.g.cycles and motorcycles), low trailers aswell as oncoming, slow or stationary vehi-cles.
• Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding sit-uations, such as in city traffic, at intersec-tions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot ofwater or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads,on highway on- or off-ramps, or with atrailer connected to the vehicle.
CAUTION
Maintenance of the integrated components in Pilot Assist may only be performed by a work-shop – an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-ommended.
In curves and forks in the roadPilot Assist is designed to interact with the driver. The driver should never wait for steering assis-tance from Pilot Assist, but instead should alwaysbe ready to increase his or her own steeringefforts, particularly in curves.

Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivated when the vehicle is at a standstill and Pilot Assistwill go into standby mode. This means that thebrakes will be released and the vehicle couldbegin to roll. The driver must actively apply thebrakes to keep the vehicle stationary. This can occur if:
• the driver depresses the brake pedal
• the parking brake is applied
• the gear selector is moved to the
P, N or R
positions
• the driver puts Pilot Assist in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking BrakeIn certain situations, the parking brake will be applied to keep the vehicle at a standstill. This occurs if Pilot Assist is keeping the vehicle stationary using the brakes and:
• the driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt
• Pilot Assist has kept the vehicle at a stand-still for more than approx. 5 minutes
• the brakes overheat
• the driver switches off the engine manually.

Pilot Assist limitations
Pilot Assist functionality may be reduced in cer- tain situations.
Pilot Assist is a driver support function designed to simplify driving and assist the driver in manysituations. However, the driver is always responsi-ble for maintaining a suitable distance to vehiclesor objects around it and ensuring that the vehicleis correctly positioned in the traffic lane.
WARNING
In some situations, Pilot Assist may have trou- ble helping the driver properly or may bedeactivated automatically – we advise againstusing Pilot Assist in such cases. Examples ofsuch situations include:
• the lane markings are worn, missing or cross each other.
• lane division is unclear, for example, whenthe lanes divide or merge or at exits orwhen there are multiple sets of markings.
• edges or other lines than lane markingsare present on or near the road, e.g.curbs, joints or repairs to the road sur-face, edges of barriers, roadside edges orstrong shadows.
• the lane is narrow or winding.
• the lane contains ridges or holes.
• weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain,snow or fog or slush or reduced visibilitywith poor light conditions, backlighting,wet road surface, etc.
The driver should also note that Pilot Assist has the following limitations: • High curbs, roadside barriers, temporary obstacles (traffic cones, safety barriers,etc.) are not detected. Alternatively, theymay be detected incorrectly as lane mark-ings, with a subsequent risk of contactbetween the vehicle and such obstacles.

Recommended maintenance for thecamera/radar sensor
In order for the camera/radar sensor to function properly, the area of the windshield in front of theunit must be kept free of dirt, ice, snow, etc. andshould be washed regularly with water and carwashing detergent.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the camera and radar unit reduce their function and can makemeasurement impossible. It could cause functions to be reduced, deac- tivated completely or produce an incorrectfunction response.

City Safety
™
City Safety can alert the driver with light, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal to help thedriver detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animalsand vehicles that appear suddenly – the vehiclewill then attempt to automatically brake if thedriver does not act within a reasonable amountof time.
Location of the camera and radar sensor 74
.
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lower the vehicle's speed at the point of impact. City Safety is an aid intended to assist the driver if a collision with a pedestrian, large animal,cyclist or vehicle is imminent. City Safety can help the driver avoid a collision when e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, when changes in the traffic ahead and driver distractioncould lead to an incident. The function assists the driver by automatically applying the brakes if there is an imminent risk ofa collision and the driver does not react in time bybraking and/or steering away. City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in an attempt to stop your vehicle immediately behindthe vehicle or object ahead. City Safety is activated in situations in which the driver should have applied the brakes much ear-lier, which means that the system will not be ableto assist the driver in all situations. City Safety is designed to be activated as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary intervention. Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safety except when the systemintervenes when a collision is imminent.
