Tunnel detection (models with the rain sensor* only)
The rain sensor reacts to the change in light- ing conditions when, for example, the vehicleenters a tunnel and the tunnel detection fea-ture will then activate the low beam head-lights. The low beams will be switched offapprox. 20 seconds after the vehicle leavesthe tunnel. The rain sensor does not have to be activated for tunnel detection to function.
Active Bending Lights (ABL)*
Headlight pattern with the Active Bending Light function deactivated (left) and activated (right) When this function is activated, the headlight beams adjust laterally to help light up a curveaccording to movements of the steeringwheel (see the right-pointing beam in theillustration). ABL is activated automatically

Engine Remote Start (ERS)*
IntroductionERS is a feature that makes it possible to remotely start the engine to cool or heat thepassenger compartment before driving. The climate control system will start using the same settings as when the engine wasswitched off. When the engine is started using ERS, it will run for a maximum of 15 minutes beforeautomatically switching off again. After 2 ERSstarts, the engine must be started in the nor-mal way before ERS can be used again.
NOTE
• Always adhere to applicable State, Province and/or Local laws regardingengine idling when using ERS.
• The service life of the remote key'sbattery is affected by ERS use. If thisfeature is used frequently, the batteryshould be replaced once a year, seepage 60).
WARNING
Keep the following in mind before using ERS
• The vehicle should be in view.
• The vehicle should be unoccupied.
• The vehicle must not be parked indoors or in an enclosed area.Exhaust fumes are harmful to thehealth.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.141
Brake system
The brake system is a hydraulic system con- sisting of two separate brake circuits. If aproblem should occur in one of these circuits,it is still possible to stop the vehicle with theother brake circuit. If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pres-sure, the stopping distance will be longer. A warning light in the instrument panel will light up to warn the driver that a fault hasoccurred. If this light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluidlevel in the reservoir.
NOTE
Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal – do not pump thebrakes.
WARNING
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in
the reservoir or if a brake system message is shown in the information display: DO
NOT DRIVE . Have the vehicle towed to a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian and have the brake system inspected.
Brake pad inspectionOn vehicles equipped with a jack*, the condi- tion of the brake pads can be checked byraising the vehicle (see page 331 for informa-tion about using the jack and removing awheel) and performing a visual inspection ofthe brake pads.
WARNING
• If the vehicle has been driven immedi- ately prior to a brake pad inspection,the wheel hub, brake components,etc., will be very hot. Allow time forthese components to cool before car-rying out the inspection.
• Apply the parking brake and put thegear selector in the Park (
P) position.
• Block the wheels standing on theground, use rigid wooden blocks orlarge stones.
WARNING
•Use the jack intended for the vehicle when changing a tire. For any otherjob, use stands to support the vehicle.
• The jack should be kept well-greasedand clean, and should not be dam-aged.
• Be sure the jack is on a firm, level,non-slippery surface.
• No objects should be placed betweenthe base of jack and the ground, orbetween the jack and the attachmentbar on the vehicle.
• The jack must correctly engage thejack attachment.
• Never allow any part of your body tobe extended under a vehicle suppor-ted by a jack.
Brake lightsThe brake lights come on automatically when the brakes are applied.
Adaptive brake lightsThe adaptive brake lights activate in the event of sudden braking or if the ABS system isactivated. This function causes an additionaltaillight on each side of the vehicle to illumi-nate to help alert vehicles traveling behind.

NOTE
•When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressurein the brake system immediatelyincreases to the maximum level. Youmust maintain full pressure on thebrake pedal in order to utilize the sys-tem completely. There will be no brak-ing effect if the pedal is released. EBAis automatically deactivated when thebrake pedal is released.
• When the vehicle has been parked forsome time, the brake pedal may sinkmore than usual when the engine isstarted. This is normal and the pedalwill return to its usual position when itis released.

•
The gear selected is moved to
P,N or R
• The driver presses the
button to put
ACC in standby mode
The parking brake is applied
automatically
In certain situations, ACC will apply the park- ing brake in order to continue keeping thevehicle at a standstill. This happens if:
• The driver opens the door or takes off his/her seat belt
• DSTC is put in Sport mode (seepage 152)
• ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstillfor more than 2 minutes
• The engine has been switched off
• The brakes have overheated
The radar sensor and its limitations
In addition to being used by ACC, the radar sensor is also used by Distance Alert (seepage 169) and Collision Warning with FullAuto-brake and Pedestrian Detection (seepage 178). This sensor is designed to detectcars or larger vehicles driving in the samedirection as your vehicle, in the same lane.
WARNING
• If there is visible damage to the front grille or you suspect that the radarsensor may be damaged in any way,contact a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician as soon as possible.The radar sensor may only functionpartially (or not at all) if it is damagedor is not securely fastened in place.
• Accessories or other objects, such asextra headlights, must not be installedin front of the grille.
• Modification of the radar sensor couldmake its use illegal.
The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi- cles ahead is impeded:
• if the radar sensor is obstructed and can- not detect other vehicles, for example inheavy rain, or if snow or other objects areobscuring the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean.
• if the speed of vehicles ahead is signifi- cantly different from your own speed.
Situations where ACC may not function optimally
WARNING
•The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detecta vehicle later than expected or notdetect other vehicles at all.
• If ACC is not functioning properly,cruise control will also be disabled.
