LOADING AND STORAGE
}}
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.215
Loading
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is determined by factors such as the number ofpassengers, the amount of cargo, the weight ofany accessories that may be installed, etc.
Tailgate opening button on the lighting panel
Open the tailgate by pressing the button on the lighting panel, pressing the
button on the
remote key or by using the optional foot move- ment sensor under the rear bumper.
Loading recommendations
• Load objects in the cargo compartment against the backrest whenever possible.
• If the backrests of the second row seats arefolded down, they should not be in contactwith the front seat backrests. This could impede the function of the WhiplashProtection System (WHIPS).
• Unstable loads can be secured to the loadanchoring eyelets with straps or web lash-ings to help keep them from shifting.
• Stop the engine and apply the parking brakewhen loading or unloading long objects. Thegear selector can be knocked out of positionby long loads, which could set the vehicle inmotion.
WARNING
•
Stop the engine, put the gear selector in P
, and apply the parking brake when
loading or unloading long objects.
• The vehicle's driving characteristics may change depending on the weight and dis-tribution of the load.
• A 44-pound (20 kg) object produces aforce of 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg) in ahead-on collision at 30 mph (50 km/h).
• The cargo area and rear seat should notbe loaded to a level higher than 2 in.(5 cm) below the upper edge of the rearside windows. Objects placed higher thanthis level could impede the function ofthe Inflatable Curtain.
WARNING
•
Cover sharp edges on long loads to help prevent injury to occupants. Secure theload to help prevent shifting during sud-den stops.
• Always secure large and heavy objectswith a seat belt or cargo retaining straps.
• Always secure the load to help prevent itfrom moving in the event of sudden stops.
• Switch off the engine, apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in
P
when loading and unloading the vehicle.
Raising/lowering the rear-end of the vehicle *
Using the buttons on the read edge of the cargo compartment, the rear-end of the vehicle (thelevel of the cargo compartment floor) can beraised or lowered for easier loading or to make attaching a trailer 2
simpler.
2 An accessory trailer hitch can be purchased from a Volvo retailer.

NOTE
Before CC can be activated, the vehicle's speed must be at least 20 mph (30 km/h).This is also the lowest speed that can be set.
Activating CC (putting it in active mode and setting a speed)
–With the symbol displayed (CC is in
standby mode), press the
button (2) on
the left-side steering wheel keypad.
> This puts CC in active mode and will maintain the vehicle's current speed.

Changing Cruise Control speed
Changing a set speed
Function buttons and symbols
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or — (2) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: changes speed in
+/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h) increments. Each press changes the vehicle's speedby +/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h).
• Press and hold
: Release the button
when the set speed indicator (4) hasmoved to the desired speed.
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 CCset speed. The vehicle will return to the set speedwhen the accelerator pedal is released.
Engine braking instead of applying the
brakes
CC regulates speed by applying the brakeslightly. To avoid a loss of speed when drivingdown hills, use the engine braking functioninstead of letting the CC apply the brakes. In thissituation, the driver can temporarily deactivate theCC braking function. To do so:
–Press the accelerator pedal approx. halfway down and release it.
> CC will automatically deactivate the auto- matic brake function and will then only use the engine braking function.

Time interval controls
Press to reduce the time interval to the vehi- cle ahead
Press to increase the time interval to the vehicle ahead
Distance indicator
In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible, Pilot Assist allows the time interval tovary considerably in certain situations. At lowspeeds, when the distance to the vehicle aheadis short, Pilot Assist increases the time intervalslightly.
• If Pilot Assist does not seem to react when it is put in active mode, this may be becausethe set time interval to the vehicle aheaddoes not allow an increase in speed.
• The higher the speed, the greater the dis-tance to the vehicle ahead for a given timeinterval.
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.

Pilot Assist auto-hold brake function At certain speeds, Pilot Assist provides braking effect.
Stop-and-go drivingDuring brief stops in slow-moving traffic or att traffic lights where the vehicle is not stopped formore than 3 seconds, driving will resume auto-matically. If it takes more than 3 seconds for thevehicle ahead to begin moving again, Pilot Assistwill go into standby mode and the auto-holdbrake function will activate. The driver will then have to reactivate Pilot Assist as follows:
–•
Press the button
• Press the accelerator pedal
> Pilot Assist will resume following the vehi- cle ahead if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
• Pilot Assist can keep the vehicle station- ary for max. 5 minutes, after which theparking brake will be set and Pilot Assistwill go into standby mode.
• The parking brake must be releasedbefore Pilot Assist can be reactivated.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.281
WARNING
•Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsiblefor applying the brakes if the system doesnot detect another vehicle.
• Do not use Pilot Assist in demandingdriving conditions such as city driving orother heavy traffic situations, in slipperyconditions, when there is a great deal ofwater or slush on the road, during heavyrain or snow, in poor visibility, on windingroads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
• Pilot Assist uses the vehicle's cameraand radar sensor, which have limitations.
Pilot Assist may deactivate or not function optimally if:
• the lane's side market lines are missing, badly faded or cross each other.
• the division of lanes is not clear, e.g.,when a line divides or merges withanother, at exits or if there are many roadsigns/markers.
• if there are edges or other lines on ornear the lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repairedareas, sharp shadows, etc.
• the lane is narrow or winding.
• the weather conditions (rain, snow, fog,slush, poor visibility, backlighting, etc).
The driver should also be aware that Pilot Assist has the following limitations:
• High curbs, barriers and temporary obsta- cles (cones, barriers etc) may not bedetected or could be detected incorrectlyas side marker lines, which may create arisk of collision. The driver must ensure asafe distance to these obstacles.
• The camera or radar sensor may not beable to detect objects if there are pot-holes or if there are stationary objectspartially or completely blocking the road.
• Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,animals, etc.
• Pilot Assist's steering capacity is limitedand may not always be able to help thedriver keep the vehicle in the lane.
The driver can always take action to override Pilot Assist.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsPilot Assist is primarily intended for use on rela-tively level roads. The function may not be able tomaintain the correct time interval to the vehicleahead on when driving down steep hills, when thevehicle is transporting a heavy load or if it is tow-ing a trailer. The driver should be attentive andprepared to apply the brakes in these situations.

Other Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) functions
ACC has several supplementary functions:
• Changing target vehicles
• Automatic standby mode when changing tar- gets
• Auto-hold brake function
• Deactivation of the auto-hold brake function
• Automatically setting the parking brake
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.
WARNING
If ACC changes targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary one at speeds above 20 mph
(30 km/h), 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 determine ifthe 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.

City Safety warning level settings
City Safety is always activated but the function's warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
City Safety cannot be turned off and activates automatically each time the engine/electricmotor is started.
Setting a warning level (distance)
The distance set for warnings determines the system's responsiveness and sets the distance atwhich visual, audible and tangible (haptic) warn-ings will be triggered. To do so:1. Tap
Settings in the center display's Top
view.
2. Tap
My CarIntelliSafeCity Safety.
3. Choose among
Earlier, Normal or Later.
Begin by choosing
Earlier. If too many warnings
are given, change to Normal.
If the driver feels that warnings are given too often, the warning level can be lowered. Thismeans that warnings will be provided later, result-ing in fewer warnings being given. The setting
Later should only used in exceptional
circumstances, e.g., for a more dynamic driving style.
WARNING
• No automatic system can be guaranteed to function 100% correctly in all situa-tions. For that reason, never test CitySafety by driving toward a person orobject. This could result in serious injuryor death.
• Even if the setting
Earlier has been
selected, warnings may be perceived as being given late, e.g., if the difference inspeed is great or if the vehicle aheadbrakes suddenly.
• City Safety can provide a warning for apotential collision but it can never shortenthe driver's reaction time.
• To help make City Safety as effective as possible, always using the setting
Earlieris recommended.
NOTE
•Due to local traffic regulations in certain markets, RCW will
not activate the rear
turn signals. That part of the function will be deactivated.
• The use of the rear turn signals will alsobe deactivated if the City Safety warning level is set at
Later. See also the section
"Setting a warning level (distance)" in the article "City Safety settings."
• If RCW detects a vehicle approachingfrom behind, the seat belt pretensioners
