Changing Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) speed
ACC makes it possible to set various speeds.
Changing a set speed
Function buttons and symbols
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or — (3) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: changes speed in
+/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h) increments. Each press changes the vehicle's speedby +/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h).
• Press and hold
: changes the speed
+/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h) at a time.Release the button when the set speedindicator (4) has moved to the desiredspeed. If speed is increased by pressing the accelerator pedal before the
button is pressed, the vehi-
cle's speed when the button is pressed will become the set speed assuming that the accel-erator pedal is still depressed when the button ispressed. 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. The Adaptive Cruise Control can follow another vehicle from a standstill up to 125 mph(200 km/h). Always observe posted speed limits. The lowest speed that can be set for ACC is
20 mph (30 km/h). However, ACC can monitor and react to the speed of the vehicle ahead downto a standstill. The highest speed that can be set/stored is approx. 125 mph (200 km/h). Always observeposted speed limits.

Setting an Adaptive Cruise Control time interval
ACC makes it possible to set various time inter- vals to the vehicle ahead.
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selectedand are shown in the instru-ment panel as 1–5 horizontalbars. The greater the number ofbars, the longer the time inter-val. One bar between the vehi-
cles represents a time interval of approximately1 second; 5 bars is approximately 3 seconds. The same symbol appears if Distance Alert is activated.
• If the symbol shows two vehicle's, ACC is actively following the vehicle ahead (a targetvehicle).
• If only one vehicle is displayed, ACC is
not
actively following another vehicle.

Reduce the time interval
Increase the time interval
Distance/time indicator
–Press buttons (1) or (2) to reduce or increase the time interval.
> The distance/time indicator (3) shows the
current time interval.
In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible, ACC allows the time interval to varyconsiderably in certain situations. At low speeds,when the distance to the vehicle ahead is short,ACC increases the time interval slightly. • If ACC does not seem to react when it is put in active mode, this may be because the set time interval to the vehicle ahead does notallow an increase in speed.
• The higher the speed, the greater the dis-tance to the vehicle ahead for a given timeinterval.
• Only use time intervals permitted by localtraffic regulations.
WARNING
•
Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions.
• A short time interval gives the driver lim-ited reaction time if an unexpected situa-tion occurs in traffic.

Passing Assistance with Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist
ACC or Pilot Assist can assist the driver when passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance worksWhen ACC or Pilot Assist is following another vehicle and the driver indicates that he/she isabout to pass that vehicle by using the left turnsignal, ACC or Pilot Assist will begin acceleratingtoward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle hasmoved into the passing lane. The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your vehicle approachesthe slower-moving vehicle. The function is active until your vehicle has passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Be aware that this function may be activated in situations other than when passing a vehi-cle, such as if the turn signal is used to indi-cate a lane change or to indicate a turn. Thevehicle will accelerate briefly.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.271
Using passing assistanceTo activate passing assistance:
• Your vehicle (ACC or Pilot Assist) must be following another vehicle (the target vehicle).
• Current speed must be at least approx.45 mph (70 km/h ).
• The speed set for ACC or Pilot Assist mustbe high enough to safely pass the vehicleahead.
Starting passing assistanceTo start a passing assistance sequence:
• Activate the left turn signal.
Passing assistance limitations
WARNING
The driver should be prepared for sudden changes when passing assistance is used. Incertain cases, there may be undesired accel-eration. Certain situations should be avoided, such as: • If the vehicle is approaching an exit to the left or a left turn.
• If the vehicle ahead slows down beforeyour vehicle has moved into the passinglane.
• Traffic in the passing lane slows down. Passing assistance in these situations can bedeactivated by putting ACC or Pilot Assist instandby mode.

Changing target vehicles and automatic braking with AdaptiveCruise Control (ACC)
At certain speeds, Adaptive Cruise Control can change target vehicles and automatically applythe brakes.
Changing target vehicles
If the target vehicle turns suddenly, there may be a sta- tionary vehicle ahead
When ACC is actively following another vehicle at speeds under 20 mph (30 km/h) and changes
targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary one, the system will brake for the stationary vehicle.

||
DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
272
WARNING
At speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h), if ACC
changes targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary one, the system will not react to the
stationary vehicle and will accelerate to the previously set speed. The driver must actively apply the brakes to slow/stop the vehicle.
Automatic standby mode when changing targets
ACC disengages and goes into standby mode if:
• your vehicle's speed goes below approx. 3 mph (5 km/h) and ACC cannot determineif the target object is a stationary vehicle orsome other type of object such as a speedbump, 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.
Auto-hold brake functionIn slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop-ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-cally if the vehicle is not stopped for more thanapprox. 3 seconds. If it takes more than3 seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin movingagain, ACC will go into standby mode and theauto-hold brake function will activate.
–The driver will then have to reactivate ACC in one of the following ways:
• Press the
button on the left-side
steering wheel keypad.
• Press the accelerator pedal.
> ACC will resume following the vehicle ahead (target vehicle) if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
ACC can keep the vehicle at a standstill for up to 5 minutes, after which the parking brakewill be set and ACC will go into standbymode. The parking brake has to be released before ACC can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deactivated when the vehicle is at a standstill and ACC will gointo standby mode. This means that the brakes will be released and the vehicle can begin to roll. The driver must actively apply the brakes to keep the vehicle at a standstill. This can occur in the following situations: • the driver presses the brake pedal
• the parking brake is set •
the gear selector is moved to the
P, N or R
positions
• the driver puts ACC in standby mode.
Automatically setting the parking brakeIn certain situations, the parking brake is set automatically to help keep the vehicle at a stand-still. This occurs if ACC keeps the vehicle at a stand- still with the brakes and:
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt or opensthe door
• ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstill formore than approx. 5 minutes
• the brakes overheat
• the engine is turned off.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) - limitations
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) functionality may be limited in certain situations.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsAdaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended for use on relatively level roads. The function may notbe able to maintain the correct time interval tothe vehicle ahead when driving down steep hills.The driver should be attentive and prepared toapply the brakes in these situations. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control when the vehicle is transporting a heavy load or if it is tow-ing a trailer.
Additional information
• The Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected if Adaptive Cruise Control is acti- vated.
• Adaptive Cruise Control uses the vehicle'scamera and radar sensor, which have certaingeneral limitations. See the articles "Cameralimitations" and "Radar sensor limitations"for additional information.

Pilot Assist*
The Pilot Assist feature helps keep the vehicle in its current traffic lane by providing steeringassistance and maintaining an even speed and aset time interval to the vehicle ahead.
FunctionPilot Assist helps provide more relaxed driving on long trips on highways or other major roads in aneven flow of traffic.
Function overview (generic illustration)
Windshield module containing the camera/ radar sensor
Monitoring distance
Monitoring side marker lines
The driver sets the desired time interval to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist monitors that vehicleand the traffic lane's side market lines using the camera and radar sensor mounted in the upper,center section of the windshield. It helps maintainthe set time interval by automatically adjustingspeed and by providing steering assistance tohelp keep your vehicle in the lane. Pilot Assist's steering assistance is based on monitoring the direction of the vehicle ahead andthe traffic lane's side marker lines. The driver canalways override Pilot Assist and steer the vehicleto e.g., change lanes, etc. If the camera and radar sensor cannot detect the lane's side marker lines, Pilot Assist will tempo-rarily switch off the steering assistance until thelane's side marker lines become visible again andcan be detected. However, the function's speedand distance monitoring will continue to be acti-vated.
WARNING
Pilot Assist's steering assistance may switch on or off without warning.
The color of the steering wheel symbol indicates the currentstatus of the steering assis-tance function: GREEN: steering assistance is active
GRAY (as in the illustration): steering assistanceis deactivated
WARNING
• Pilot Assist is designed to be a supple- mentary driving aid and cannot cover alldriving situations, traffic, weather and/orroad conditions.
• The driver should be familiar with all ofthe information in this article regardingPilot Assist, including its limitations.
• Pilot Assist is not intended to replace thedriver's attention and judgement.
• Pilot Assist must only be used wherethere are clearly visible traffic lane sidemarker lines on both sides of the currenttraffic lane. In other circumstances thereis an increased risk of collision with sur-rounding obstacles that are not detectedby the system.
• The driver is always responsible for steer-ing the vehicle and maintaining a suitablespeed and distance to the vehicle aheadand must intervene if necessary, even ifPilot Assist is being used.
Pilot Assist attempts to regulate speed smoothlybut in situations calling for fast braking, the drivermust apply the brakes. This applies to situationswhere there are considerable differences inspeed or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.Due to the limitations of the camera and radar

DRIVER SUPPORT
278sensor, the system may apply the brakes in your vehicle suddenly or not at all. Pilot Assist is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the same traffic lane at a preset time intervalset by the driver. If the radar sensor does notdetect a vehicle ahead, the vehicle will insteadmaintain the speed set by the driver. This will alsobe the case if a vehicle ahead accelerates andexceeds the set speed.
• Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle from astandstill up to a speed of approx. 125 mph(200 km/h)
• Pilot Assist can provide steering assistancefrom very low speeds up to approx. 87 mph(140 km/h).
Never exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
• Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must react if the sys-tem does not detect another vehicle.
• Pilot Assist does not react to people, ani-mals, stationary objects, small vehicles(such as bicycles and motorcycles), lowtrailers and slow moving, parked orapproaching vehicles.
• Do not use Pilot Assist in demandingdriving conditions such as city driving orother heavy traffic situations, in areas withintersections, in slippery conditions, whenthere is a great deal of water or slush onthe road, during heavy rain or snow, inpoor visibility, on winding roads, on high-way on- or off-ramps or if the vehicle istowing a trailer, boat, etc.
NOTE
•Pilot Assist maintenance should only be carried out by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.
• Pilot Assist regulates your vehicle'sspeed using the accelerator pedal andthe brakes. Please be aware that theremay be a faint sound from the brakeswhen the system is using them.
