140* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an optional
system designed to assist the driver by main-
taining a set speed or a set time interval to the
vehicle ahead. It is primarily intended for use
on long straight roads in steady traffic, such as
on highways and other main roads.
When the driver has set the desired speed and
the time interval to the vehicle ahead, ACC
functions as follows:
•If there are no other vehicles in the lane
ahead of you, your vehicle will travel at the
set speed.
•If ACC's radar sensor detects a slower
moving vehicle in the lane ahead, the sys-
tem will adapt your vehicle's speed to help
maintain the set time interval to the vehicle
ahead. When there are no longer slower
moving vehicles ahead, your vehicle will
accelerate to resume the set speed.
If ACC is switched off completely or in standby
mode and your vehicle comes too close to
another vehicle ahead, the driver will be
warned by the Distance Alert system (see
page 151).
WARNING
•Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover
all driving situations and traffic, weather
and road conditions. The "Function"
section provides information about lim-
itations that the driver must be aware of
before using this feature.
•This system is designed to be a supple-
mentary driving aid. It is not, however,
intended to replace the driver's atten-
tion and judgement. The driver is
responsible for maintaining a safe dis-
tance and speed and must intervene if
Adaptive Cruise Control does not main-
tain a suitable speed or suitable dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead.
•Maintenance of ACC components may
only be performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo technician.

Adaptive Cruise Control consists of:
•A cruise control system to maintain a set
speed
•A system to maintain a set distance to the
vehicle ahead, which is expressed as a
time interval. For example, you can choose
to remain approximately 2 seconds behind
the vehicle ahead. The actual distance
required to maintain a 2-second interval
will vary according the speed of the vehi-
cles.

144* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Standby mode due to action by the driverACC is temporarily deactivated and put in
standby mode:
•if the brakes are applied
•if the gear selector is moved to N
•if the driver drives at a speed higher than
the set speed for more than 1 minute.
In this happens, the driver will have to regulate
the vehicle's speed.
NOTE
If the accelerator pedal is only depressed for
a short time, such as when passing another
vehicle, ACC is deactivated temporarily and
is reactivated when the pedal is released.
Automatic standby modeAdaptive cruise control is linked to other sys-
tems such as the stability and traction control
system (DSTC). If this system is not functioning
properly, adaptive cruise control is automati-
cally deactivated and will go into standby
mode.
In the event of automatic deactivation, an audi-
ble signal will sound and the message
Cruise
control Cancelled is shown in the display.
The driver must then intervene and adapt thevehicle's speed to the surrounding traffic and
regulate the distance to the vehicle ahead.
An automatic switch to standby mode may be
caused if:
•engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
•the vehicle's speed goes below 18 mph
(30 km/h)3
•the wheels lose traction
•brake temperature is high
•the radar sensor is obstructed by, for
example, wet snow or rain.
Resuming the set speedIf ACC is in standby mode, it can be reactivated
by pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad. The vehicle will return to the
most recently set speed.
WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate quickly after has been pressed if its current speed is
considerably lower than the set speed.
Passing another vehicleIf your vehicle’s speed is being regulated by
ACC and the driver indicates that he/she would
like to pass the vehicle ahead by using theleft turn signal, ACC can assist by accelerating
briefly.
This function is active at speeds above approx-
imately 45 mph (70 km/h).
WARNING
Please be aware that this function will also
cause the vehicle to accelerate briefly in
certain situations other than passing
another vehicle, for example using the left
turn signal to indicate a lane change or a
turn toward a highway exit at speeds above
approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
Queue AssistQueue Assist is an added ACC feature that is
linked to your vehicle's automatic transmis-
sion.
Queue Assist consists of the following func-
tions:
•Enhanced speed interval (including when
the vehicle is at a complete stop or is mov-
ing at speed below 18 mph (30 km/h))
•Automatic standby mode when ACC
changes target vehicles
•No automatic braking when at a standstill
•The parking brake is applied automatically
3Does not apply to vehicles equipped with the optional Queue Assist

capacity to avoid a collision. In these condi-
tions, the ABS and DSTC systems provide the
best possible braking effect while helping to
maintain stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal may be temporar-
ily disengaged in the event of high passen-
ger compartment temperature due to strong
sunlight, etc. If this occurs, the audible
warning signal will be used, even if it has
been deactivated in the menu system.
WARNING
•In certain situations, the system cannot
provide warnings or warnings may be
delayed if traffic conditions or other
external factors make it impossible for
the radar sensor or camera to detect a
pedestrian or a vehicle ahead.
•Warnings may not be provided if the
distance to the vehicle ahead is short,
or if movements of the steering wheel/
brake pedal are great, such as during
active driving.
•The sensor system has a limited range
for pedestrians and provides warnings
and braking effect most effectively at
speeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h). For sta-
tionary or slow-moving vehicles, the
system functions best if your vehicle’s
speed is below approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h).
•Warnings for stationary or slow-moving
vehicles may not be provided in dark
conditions or in poor visibility.
The Collision Warning system uses the same
radar sensors as Adaptive Cruise Control. For
more information on the radar sensor and its
limitations, see page 146.
NOTE
If warnings are given too frequently, the
warning distance can be reduced (see
page 162). This causes the system to pro-
vide later warnings, which decreases the
total number of warnings provided.
WARNING
•The system is not activated at speeds
under approx. 2 mph (4 km/h). There-
fore, it will not brake your vehicle if you
approach a vehicle ahead at very low
speed, such as when parking.
•The driver's actions always have high-
est priority and override the Collision
Warning system. This means that the
system will not intervene in situations
where the driver is actively steering,
braking or pressing the accelerator
pedal, even if a collision is imminent.
•When Auto-brake has prevented a col-
lision with a stationary object, your vehi-
cle will remain at a standstill for approx.
1.5 seconds. If your vehicle has been
braked for a moving vehicle ahead, your
vehicle's speed will be reduced to the
same speed as that vehicle's.

Driver Alert System*
04
168* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
The Driver Alert System is designed to help a
driver who may be becoming fatigued or who
is inadvertently leaving the lane.
The Driver Alert System consists of two differ-
ent functions that can be switched on together
or separately.
•Driver Alert Control (DAC)
•Lane Departure Warning (LDW), see
page 171
When one or both of the functions has been
switched on, it is in standby mode and is acti-
vated when the vehicle exceeds a speed of
40 mph (65 km/h).
The function deactivates if the vehicle's speed
goes under 37 mph (60 km/h).
Both functions use a camera that is dependent
on the road/lane being clearly marked by pain-
ted lines on each side.
WARNING
The Driver Alert System does not function in
all situations and is designed to be a sup-
plementary aid. It is not, however, intended
to replace the driver’s attention and judge-
ment.
Driver Alert Control (DAC)–
introduction
This function is intended to alert the driver if
his/her driving becomes erratic, such as if the
driver is distracted or fatigued.
NOTE
The camera has certain limitations, see
page 146.
A camera monitors the painted lines marking
the lane in which the vehicle is traveling and
compares the direction of the road with the
driver’s movements of the steering wheel. The
driver is alerted if the vehicle does not follow
the lane smoothly.DAC is designed to help detect a slowly chang-
ing driving pattern. It is primarily intended to be
used on main roads and is not meant for use in
city traffic.
WARNING
•DAC is not intended to extend the dura-
tion of driving. Always plan breaks at
regular intervals to help remain alert.
•In certain cases, fatigue may not affect
the driver’s behavior. In situations of
this type, no warning will be provided.
Therefore, it is important to take breaks
at regular intervals, regardless of
whether or not DAC has given a warn-
ing.
LimitationsIn certain situations, DAC may provide warn-
ings even if the driver’s driving pattern has not
become erratic.
•if the driver is testing the LDW function
•in strong crosswinds
•on grooved road surfaces.

select
On. See page 191 for more information
on the menu system.
The function is activated when the
vehicle exceeds a speed of 40 mph
(65 km/h). The display will show level
markings of 1–5 bars, where a low
number of bars indicates erratic driving. A high
number of bars indicates stable driving.
If the vehicle is being driven erratically, the
driver will be alerted by an audible signal and
the message Driver Alert, Time for a break is
displayed. The warning will be repeated after a
short time if the driving pattern remains the
same.
WARNING
•An alert should be taken seriously since
it is sometimes difficult for a driver to
realize that he/she is fatigued.
•In the event of a warning or if the driver
feels fatigued, stop as soon as possible
in a safe place and rest.

Driver Alert System*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.171 Lane Departure Warning (LDW)–
introduction
This function is designed to help reduce the
risk of accidents in situations where the vehicle
leaves its lane and there is a risk of driving off
the road or into the opposite lane. LDW con-
sists of a camera that monitors the lane’s side
marker lines. The driver is alerted by an audible
signal if the vehicle crosses a side marker line
or the road’s center dividing line.
Operation and function
LDW can be switched on or off by pressing the
button on the center console. A light in the but-
ton illuminates when the function is on.
The trip computer display shows
Lane Depart
Warn Standby <40 mph (Lane Depart Warn
Standby <65 km/h) when the function is in
standby mode.
When LDW is in standby mode, the function is
activated automatically after the camera has
monitored the road’s side marker lines and the
vehicle’s speed exceeds 40 mph (65 km/h).
Lane Depart Warn Unavailable will be dis-
played.
If the vehicle’s speed falls below 37 mph
(60 km/h), LDW will return to standby modeand
Driver Alert Standby <40 mph will be
displayed.
If the camera can no longer monitor the road’s
side marker lines,
Lane Depart Warn
Unavailable will be displayed.
If the vehicle unexpectedly crosses the lane’s
left or right side marker lines, the driver will be
alerted by an audible signal.
No warning signal will be given in the follow-
ing situations:
•The turn signal is being used
•The driver’s foot is on the brake pedal1
•The throttle pedal is pressed quickly1
•If the steering wheel is moved quickly1
•In sharp turns that cause the vehicle’s
body to sway
See page 164 for information on the camera’s
limitations.
WARNING
The driver will only be warned once for each
time the wheels cross a marker line. No
alarm will be given if a marker line is
between the wheels.
1When Increased sensitivity has been selected, a warning will be issued if a side marker line is crossed in this situation.

04 Driver support
Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC)*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.179 Using PAC
Activation
PAC is activated when the gear selector is
moved to R if the system is selected in the MY
CAR menu system or by pressing the CAM
button in the center console. See page 191 for
a description of the menu system.
If the Volvo Navigation System (VNS) is in use,
PAC will automatically override the navigation
system to show the camera's image on the
screen instead of navigation information, for as
long as reverse gear is selected.
ZoomThe camera can be useful when attaching a
trailer. Press CAM to zoom in on the trailer
hitch (and press this button again to return to
the normal camera view).With the camera zoomed in on the trailer hitch,
a guiding line showing the hitch's path toward
the trailer will be projected. This feature can be
activated in the MY CAR menu. See page
191 for a description of the menu system. The
guiding lines for the wheels (see the following
section "Guiding lines") and for the trailer hitch
cannot be displayed at the same time.
If the camera shows an enlarged (zoomed)
image, turn TUNE counterclockwise, or press
EXIT, CAM or OK to return to a normal view.
DeactivationMove the gear selector from R to another posi-
tion. There is a slight delay in the PAC system,
which means that the view from behind the
vehicle will remain on the screen for approxi-
mately 15 seconds after the gear selector has
been moved from the R position or until the
vehicle reaches a forward speed of 6 mph
(10 km/h). The screen will then revert to the
mode that it was in before R was selected and
will, for example, display navigation system
information.
NOTE
If any button on the center console control
panel is pressed, the camera image will dis-
appear from the display. Pressing CAM will
return the camera image to the display.
Guiding lines
The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were a path on the ground behind the vehicle
and are affected by the way in which the steer-
ing wheel is turned. This enables the driver to
see path the vehicle will take, even if he/she
turns the steering wheel while backing up.
NOTE
When backing up with a trailer, the guiding
lines show the path that the vehicle will
take, not the trailer.

image is shown on the center console dis-
play.
•When backing up, two solid lines are pro-
jected on the screen to show the path that
the vehicle's rear wheels will take. These
lines are affected by movements of the
steering wheel. The vehicle's approximate
outer dimension are shown by two dashed
lines.
•The graphic lines will not be displayed
when backing up with a trailer that is con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
•Objects on the ground that are closer than
1 ft (30 centimeters) cannot be detected by
the camera.
•The camera is active for approx.
5 seconds after the gear selector is moved
to R or until the vehicle's speed exceeds
6 mph (10 km/h).
•The optional Park Assist sensors and the
parking camera work together and infor-
mation from the sensors is shown graphi-
cally on the display.
•The graphic lines shown on the screen
when the vehicle backs up can be disabled
in the settings menu.
•Manual zoom can be selected in the MY
CAR menu.
•The system can be switched off by press-
ing CAM. By default, the system is acti-
vated when the gear selector is moved toR. This setting can be changed in the MY
CAR menu.
•If there are two cameras installed on the
vehicle*, to switch between cameras, turn
TUNE (at least one of the cameras has to
be active), press CAM repeatedly or use
the center console controls. If the front
camera is on, it overrides the optional park
assist system's visual indicator but there
will still be an audible signal.
Limitations
Even if a fairly small section of the screen image
appears to be obstructed, this may mean that
a relatively large area behind the vehicle is hid-
den and objects there may not be detected
until they are very near the vehicle.
NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories moun-
ted on the tailgate may obstruct the cam-
era's field of view.
Keep in mind
•Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and
snow. Remove ice and snow carefully to
avoid scratching the lens.
•Clean the lens regularly with warm water
and a suitable car washing detergent.
