Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
04
156* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
When the symbol on the
left side of the display
changes to
, the radar sen-
sor has detected another
vehicle ahead. The distance
to a vehicle ahead is only
regulated when this symbol (
) is illumi-
nated.
Changing the set speedAfter a speed has been set, it can be increased
or decreased by using the
or buttons.
Each time one of these buttons is pressed, the
vehicle's speed changes by 5 mph
(approximately 8 km/h).
When the system is in active mode, the
but-
ton has the same function as
, but results in
a smaller increase in speed.
NOTE
•If one of the Adaptive Cruise Control
buttons is pressed for more than
approximately one minute, ACC will be
deactivated. The engine must then be
switched off and restarted to reset ACC.
•In some situations Adaptive Cruise
Control cannot be put in active mode.
Cruise control Unavailable is shown
in the display, see page 161.
Setting a time intervalThe set time interval to vehicles ahead can be
increased by pressing
and decreased by
pressing
. The current time interval is shown
briefly in the display following adjustment.
Different time intervals can be
selected and are shown in the
display as 1–5 horizontal bars.
The greater the number of
bars, the longer the time inter-
val. One bar represents a time
interval of approximately
1 second; 5 bars is approximately
2.5 seconds. At low speeds, when the distance
to the vehicle ahead is short, ACC increases
the time interval slightly. In order to follow the
vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible, ACC
allows the time interval to vary considerably in
certain situations.
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 sit-
uation occurs in traffic.
The number of bars indicating the selected
time interval are shown while the setting is
being made and for several seconds afterward.
A smaller version of the symbol is then shown
to the right in the display. The same symbol is
also displayed when Distance Alert is in active
mode, see page 163 .
Standby mode (temporary deactivation)
Press to temporarily deactivate cruise con-
trol (put it in standby mode). The set speed, for
example 55 mph, is then shown in parenthe-
ses.
The previously set speed and time interval are
resumed by pressing
.
WARNING
There may be a significant increase in speed
after the button has been pressed.
When ACC is in active mode, the vehicle’s
speed increases by approximately 1 mph
(1 km/h) each additional time
is pressed.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.157
Standby mode due to action by the driverACC is temporarily deactivated and put in
standby mode:
•when the brakes are applied
•if the driver's seat belt is taken off
•If the driver's door is opened
•if the gear selector is moved to N
•if the accelerator pedal is depressed for
more than 1 minute.
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 the
vehicle's speed to the surrounding traffic and
regulate the distance to the vehicle ahead.An automatic switch to standby mode may be
caused if:
•the wheels lose traction
•brake temperature is high
•the radar sensor is obstructed by, for
example, wet snow or rain.
Queue Assist*The following functions are linked to your vehi-
cle's automatic transmission and comprise the
Queue Assist feature.
Please note that the lowest speed that can be
set is 18 mph (30 km/h), although ACC can
maintain a set speed/distance to a vehicle
ahead down to a standstill. Queue Assist con-
sists of the following features:
Enhanced speed intervalYour vehicle can maintain the set time interval
to the vehicle ahead at any permissible speed,
including a complete stop.
In order to activate ACC at speeds below
18 mph (30 km/h):
•The vehicle ahead must be within a rea-
sonable distance (not farther away than
approx. 100 ft/30 meters)
•The lowest speed that can be selected is
18 mph (30 km/h), although ACC will also
help maintain the set time interval to thevehicle ahead at lower speeds, including a
complete stop.
During short stops (less than approximately
3 seconds) in slow-moving traffic, your vehicle
will begin moving again automatically as soon
as the vehicle ahead begins to move.
If it takes more than 3 seconds for the vehicle
ahead to begin moving, ACC will be automati-
cally go into standby mode.
The driver will then have to reactivate ACC in
one of the following ways:
•By pressing
•By accelerating up to at least 3 mph
(4 km/h)
Your vehicle will then resume following the
vehicle ahead at the set time interval.
NOTE
ACC can remain active and keep your vehi-
cle at a standstill for up to 2 minutes. After
2 minutes have elapsed, the parking brake
will be engaged and ACC will go into
standby mode.
To reactivate ACC, the driver must release
the parking brake (see page 122) and press
.

Driver Alert System*
04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.179 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 182
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 158.
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.

Rear Park Assist Camera (PAC)*
04
190* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
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 131 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 132. 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.
