Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding and to generallyhelp improve directional stability.
A pulsating sound will be audi- ble when the system is activelyoperating and is normal. Accel-eration may also be slightlyslower than normal.
WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot deal with all situations or road conditions. The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner in accordancewith current traffic regulations.
ESC consists of the following functions: • Traction control
• Spin control
• Active Yaw Control
• Engine Drag Control
• Trailer Stability Assist
Traction controlThis function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the oppo-site side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
Spin controlThis function is designed to help prevent thedrive wheels from spinning while the vehicle isaccelerating.
Active Yaw ControlAt low speeds, this function helps maintain direc-tional stability by braking one or more of thewheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid orslide laterally.
Engine Drag Control EDCEDC helps keep the engine running if the wheelsshow a tendency to lock, e.g., when shifting downin the manual shifting mode or while using theengine's braking function on a slippery surface. Ifthe wheels were to lock, the vehicle wouldbecome more difficult to steer.
Trailer Stability Assist
*1TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is towing atrailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun tosway. This system is automatically deactivated if the driver selects
Sport mode.

This function is included if the vehicle is equipped with a Volvo original trailer hitch.

Activating/deactivating the Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) *
The function Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) is a
supplement to the Speed Limiter (SL) and can be activated/deactivated.
ASL is activated/deactivated in the center display's Functionview.
Activating ASL
With SL activated: 1.
Tap the
Speed Sign Assist button in the
center display's Function view.
> ASL will go into standby mode and a green indicator light in the button will illu- minate. A road sign symbol will be dis-played in center of the speedometer.
2. Press the
button on the left-side steer-
ing wheel keypad.
> ASL will be activated with the vehicle's current speed.
Deactivating ASL
–Tap the Speed Sign Assist button in the
center display's Function view.
> ASL will be deactivated, the indicator will be GRAY and the Speed limiter (SL) will be activated.
WARNING
After switching from ASL to SL, the vehicle will no longer adapt speed to posted speedlimits. It will only limit the vehicle's maximumspeed.

Changing tolerance for the Automatic Speed Limiter
Automatic Speed Limiter can be set to different tolerance levels.
Posted speed limit toleranceASL can be set to allow the vehicle to drive above or below the posted speed limit. For exam-ple, if the current posted speed limit is 43 mph(70 km/h), the driver can opt to allow the vehicleto drive at a speed of 47 mph (75 km/h).

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.
Warning light (generic illustration)
A warning light in the windshield glows steadily if your vehicle is closer to the one ahead than theset time interval.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver isnot looking straight ahead may make the vis-ual warning signal in the windshield difficult tosee.
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.
Head-up-display *
Distance Alert symbol in the windshield (generic illustra- tion)
In vehicle is equipped with the head-up display *,
the symbol in the windshield will only appear if the distance to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset value. However, the
Show Driver
Support function has to be activated in the Set-
tings menu. See the article "Head-up display" for additional information.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver isnot looking straight ahead may make the vis-ual warning signal in the windshield difficult tosee.

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.
For additional information, see also the article"Radar sensor limitations."

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

Collision warning
Warning light in the windshield
Adaptive Cruise Control can exert brake force that 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.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver isnot looking straight ahead may make the vis-ual warning signal in the windshield difficult tosee.
