Distance Alert *
Distance Alert is a function that alerts the driver if the time interval to the vehicle ahead is too short.
Distance Alert is active at speeds above approxi- mately 20 mph (30 km/h) and only reacts to avehicle ahead that is driving in the same direc-tion. No information is provided for vehicles driv-ing toward you, moving very slowly, or at a stand-still.
NOTE
Distance Alert only monitors distance to the vehicle ahead while Adaptive Cruise Control isin standby mode or off.
WARNING
Distance Alert only indicates the distance to the vehicle ahead. It does not affect thespeed of your vehicle.

One bar between the vehicles represents a timeinterval of approximately 1 second; 5 bars isapproximately 3 seconds. The same symbol appears if Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.
NOTE
• The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the
distance between them for a
set time interval.
• The set time interval is also used by Adaptive Cruise Control
*.
• Only use time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations.

Distance Alert * limitations
Distance Alert uses the same radar sensor as Adaptive Cruise Control * and has several limita-
tions.
WARNING
• The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detect avehicle later than expected or not detectother vehicles at all.
• The radar sensor cannot cover all drivingsituations and traffic, weather and roadconditions.
• The driver is responsible for maintaining asafe distance and speed and must inter-vene if the various driver support systemsdo not maintain a suitable speed or suita-ble distance to the vehicle ahead.
• Maintenance of radar sensor componentsmay only be performed by a trained andqualified Volvo technician.
• Strong sunlight, reflections from the roadsurface, strong lighting contrasts or usingsunglasses may make the warning light inthe windshield difficult to see.

WARNING
•Poor weather or winding roads can affect the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi-cles ahead.
• A vehicle's size (e.g., a motorcycle) canalso affect the radar sensor's capacity todetect another vehicle. This may result inthe warning light illuminating at a shorterdistance than the one that has been setor not illuminating at all.
• High speeds may also result in the warn-ing light illuminating at a shorter distancethan the one that has been set due tolimitations in the radar sensor's range.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) *
ACC is an optional system designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed or a settime interval to the vehicle ahead.
ACC helps provide more relaxed driving on long trips on highways or other major roads in a rela-tively even flow of traffic.
The camera and radar sensor monitor the distance to the vehicle ahead (generic illustration - certain detailsmay vary from model to model)
The driver sets that desired speed and time inter- val to the vehicle ahead. When the camera andradar sensor detects a slower moving vehicleahead, your vehicle's speed is automaticallyadapted. When there are no longer slower mov-ing vehicles ahead, your vehicle will accelerate toresume the set speed. ACC is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain a time interval to that vehicle set by the driver. If the radar sensor doesnot detect a vehicle ahead, ACC will insteadmaintain the speed set by the driver. ACC is designed to smoothly regulate speed. However, the driver must apply the brakes in sit-uations that require immediate braking such aswhen there are great differences in speedbetween vehicles, or if the vehicle ahead brakessuddenly. Due to limitations in the radar sensor,braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all. Adaptive Cruise Control can follow another vehi- cle from a standstill up to 125 mph (200 km/h).Always observe posted speed limits. The driver can also toggle between ACC and Cruise Control (CC) – see the article "Switchingbetween Cruise Control and Adaptive CruiseControl".

WARNING
•It is advisable to read through all of the related articles pertaining to ACC (seethe list at the end of this article).
• Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover alldriving situations and traffic, weather androad conditions.
• This system is designed to be a supple-mentary driving aid. It is not, however,intended to replace the driver's attentionand judgement. The driver is responsiblefor maintaining a safe distance and speedand must intervene if Adaptive CruiseControl does not maintain a suitablespeed or suitable distance to the vehicleahead.
• Maintenance of ACC components mayonly be performed by a trained and quali-fied Volvo technician.
OverviewThe distance to the vehicle ahead (in the samelane) is monitored by a radar sensor. Your vehi-cle's speed is regulated by accelerating andbraking. The brakes may emit a sound when theyare being modulated by the adaptive cruise con-trol system. This is normal.
WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is alwaysresponsible for applying the brakes if thesystem does not detect another vehicle.
• Adaptive Cruise Control does not react topeople or animals, or small vehicles suchas bicycles and motorcycles. It also doesnot react to slow moving, parked orapproaching vehicles, or stationaryobjects.
• Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control indemanding driving conditions such as citydriving or other heavy traffic situations, inslippery conditions, when there is a greatdeal of water or slush on the road, duringheavy rain or snow, in poor visibility, onwinding roads or on highway on- or off-ramps.

Monitoring distance with the camera and radar sensor
Adaptive Cruise Control can exert brake forcethat is equivalent to approximately 40% of thevehicle's total braking capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than ACC can provide and if the driver does not applythe brakes, an audible signal from the City Safetysystem will sound and warning light will illuminatein the windshield to alert the driver to react.
WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor. In some casesthere may be no warning or the warning maybe delayed. The driver should always apply thebrakes when necessary.

When ACC is in standby mode, the driver has to control the vehicle's speed and distance toa vehicle ahead. When ACC is in standby mode, the driver will be alerted if the distance to the vehicle aheadis too short by the Distance Alert function.See the article "Distance Alert" for additionalinformation.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
ACC is 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.
In these cases, the driver will have to regulate thevehicle's speed. A temporary increase in speed, such as when passing another vehicle, does not affect the ACCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released.

Automatic standby mode
ACC interacts with other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control. If any of these othersystems are not functioning properly, ACC willturn off automatically.
WARNING
If this happens, the driver will be alerted by an audible signal and a message in the instru-ment panel. The driver will have to adapt thevehicle's speed, apply the brakes when nec-essary and keep a safe distance to the vehicleahead.
ACC switches automatically to standby mode if: • the vehicle's speed goes below approx. 3 mph (5 km/h) and ACC cannot determineif the vehicle ahead is stationary or is anobject such as a speed bump, etc
• the vehicle's speed goes below approx.3 mph (5 km/h) and the vehicle aheadchanges lanes or turns so that ACC nolonger has a target vehicle to follow
• the driver opens the door
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt
• the engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
• the wheels lose traction
• the brake temperature is too high
• the parking brake is applied •
the stability system's
ESC Sport Mode is
activated
• the
Off Road drive mode is selected
• The radar sensor is covered by e.g., wet snow or if heavy rain interferes with radar waves
