Distance Alert limitations 13
Distance Alert functionality may be reduced in certain situations. The function is onlyavailable in vehicles that can display informa-tion on the windshield with a head-up dis- play *.
WARNING
Detection ability may be affected by vehicle size, e.g. motorcycles, whichcan cause the warning light to come onat a shorter time interval than that setor cause the warning to be temporarilyabsent.
Very high speeds can cause the light tocome on at a shorter time interval thanthat set due to limitations in the rangeof the radar unit.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.
Using engine braking instead of applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applying the brakes. On downgrades, it cansometimes be desirable to roll a bit faster andlet speed be reduced instead by engine brak-ing alone. The driver can temporarily disen-gage the Cruise Control braking function. To disengage CC:
–Press the accelerator pedal about halfway down and then release it.
> Cruise Control will automatically disen-
gage the automatic brake function and speed will only be reduced using theengine braking function.

Cruise control standby mode Cruise control (CC 18
) can be deactivated and
put in standby mode. This may happen auto- matically or be due to driver intervention.
Standby mode means that the function is selected in the instrument panel but not acti-vated. In standby mode, cruise control will notregulate speed.
Standby mode due to action by the
driver
Cruise control will be deactivated and put instandby mode if any of the following occurs:
The brakes are applied.
The gear selector is moved to
N.
The vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute.
The driver must then control the vehicle'sspeed. Temporarily increasing speed using the accel- erator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehi-cle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle willreturn to the set speed when the acceleratorpedal is released.
Automatic standby modeAdaptive Cruise Control may go into standbymode if:
the wheels lose traction
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high
the temperature in the brake systembecomes too high
the vehicle's speed goes below 30 km/h(20 mph).
The driver must then control the vehicle'sspeed.

Adaptive Cruise Control
*19
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 20
) helps the
driver maintain a constant speed with a set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive Cruise Control can help provide a more relaxed driving experience on long tripson highways or long, straight roads with eventraffic flows.
The camera/radar sensor measures the distance to the vehicle ahead.
The driver sets a speed and a time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the camera/radar sensordetects a slower-moving vehicle ahead, yourvehicle's speed will be automatically adaptedaccording to the set time interval to that vehi-cle. When there are no longer slower-moving

vehicles ahead, the vehicle will return to the set speed. If the Curve Speed Assist (CSA)
* function is
activated, it may also affect the vehicle's speed.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.
Adaptive Cruise Control regulates speed byaccelerating and braking. It is normal for thebrakes to emit a slight sound when they arebeing used to adjust speed. Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts toregulate speed smoothly. The driver mustapply the brakes in situations requiring imme-diate braking. For example, when there aregreat differences in speed between vehicles orif the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. Due tolimitations in the radar sensor, braking mayoccur unexpectedly or not at all. Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintaina time interval to that vehicle set by the driver.If the radar sensor does not detect a vehicleahead, it will instead maintain the speed setby the driver. This will also happen if the speedof the vehicle ahead exceeds the set speed foryour vehicle.
CAUTION
Only a workshop may perform mainte- nance on driver support components – anauthorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended.

standby
mode Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 28
) can be deac-
tivated and put in standby mode. This may happen automatically or be due to driverintervention.
Standby mode means that the function is selected in the instrument panel but not acti-vated. In standby mode, Adaptive Cruise Con-trol will not regulate speed or distance to thevehicle ahead.
Standby mode due to action by the
driver
Adaptive Cruise Control will be deactivatedand put in standby mode if any of the follow-ing occurs:
The brakes are applied.
The gear selector is moved to
N.
The vehicle is driven faster than the setspeed for more than 1 minute.
Temporarily increasing speed using the accel-erator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehi-cle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle willreturn to the set speed when the acceleratorpedal is released.
WARNING
If Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode, the driver must intervene andregulate both speed and distance tothe vehicle ahead.
If the vehicle comes too close to a vehi-cle ahead when Adaptive Cruise Con-trol is in standby mode, the driver canbe warned of the short distance by the Distance Alert
* function.
Automatic standby modeAdaptive Cruise Control is dependent on other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC 29
). If any of these other systems stops
working, Adaptive Cruise Control will be auto- matically deactivated.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an acoustic signal and a mes-sage on the instrument panel.
The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, apply the brakes if necessary,and maintain a safe distance to othervehicles. Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standbymode if:
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h(3 mph) and ACC cannot determine if thevehicle ahead is stationary or if it isanother object, e.g. a speed bump.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns sothat ACC no longer has a vehicle to follow.
the driver opens the door.
the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
one or more of the wheels lose traction.
the brake temperature is high.
the parking brake is applied.
the camera/radar sensor is covered bysnow or heavy rain (the camera lens/radarwaves are blocked).Related information

limitations
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 31
) may have
limited functionality in certain situations.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsAdaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended to be driven on flat roads. The function maynot be able to maintain the correct time inter-val to the vehicle ahead when driving downsteep hills. The driver should be extra attentiveand prepared to apply the brakes. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control if the vehi- cle is carrying a heavy load or towing a trailer.
Other limitationsThe Off Road drive mode cannot be selected
if Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.
WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance sys- tem. The driver is always responsibleand must intervene if the system failsto detect a vehicle ahead.
The function does not brake for peopleor animals and does not brake for smallvehicles, such as bikes and motorcy-cles. Similarly, it does not brake for lowtrailers, oncoming, slow-moving or sta-tionary vehicles and objects.
Do not use the function in demandingsituations, such as in city traffic, atintersections, on slippery surfaces,with a lot of water or slush on the road,in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, onwinding roads, or on on/off ramps.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.
