Electronic Stability Control in sport mode The stability system (ESC 6
) is always acti-
vated and cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select
ESC Sport Mode,
which offers more active driving characteris- tics.
With the ESC Sport Mode sub-function
selected, intervention from the system is reduced and more lateral movement is permit-ted, giving the driver more control of the vehi-cle than usual. When
ESC Sport Mode is selected, the func-
tion may seem to be disabled even though it continues to assist the driver.
NOTE
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the
trailer stabilizer (TSA 7
) is switched off.
ESC Sport Mode also helps provide more
traction, even if the vehicle gets stuck or is driving on a loose surface such as deep snowor loose sand.

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.

DRIVER SUPPORT
}}
* Option/accessory.301
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.
Pilot Assist regulates speed by acceleratingand braking. It is normal for the brakes to emita slight sound when they are being used toadjust speed. Pilot Assist attempts to smoothly regulate speed. The driver must apply the brakes in sit-uations requiring immediate braking. Forexample, when there are great differences in speed between vehicles or if the vehicle aheadbrakes suddenly. Due to limitations in the camera and radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all. Pilot Assist attempts to follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain a time intervalto that vehicle set by the driver. If the radarsensor does not detect a vehicle ahead, it willinstead maintain the speed set by the driver.This will also happen if the speed of the vehi-cle ahead exceeds the set speed for your vehi-cle.
CAUTION
Only a workshop may perform mainte- nance on driver support components – anauthorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended.
In curves and forks in the roadPilot Assist is designed to interact with the driver. The driver should never wait for steer-ing assistance from Pilot Assist, but insteadshould always be ready to increase his or herown steering efforts, particularly in curves.
When the vehicle is approaching an off-ramp or a fork in the road, the drivershould steer toward the desired lane toindicate to Pilot Assist the desired direc-tion of travel.
Pilot Assist strives to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane
When Pilot Assist provides steering assis- tance, it strives to position the vehicle in thecenter of the lane between the lane markings.To make the driving experience as smooth aspossible, the driver should permit the vehicleto find good positioning. The driver shouldcheck that the vehicle is positioned safely inthe lane and can always adjust the vehicle'sposition by applying more force to the steeringwheel. If Pilot Assist does not position the vehicle appropriately in the lane, the driver shouldturn off Pilot Assist or switch to Adaptive Cruise Control
*.
Hands on the steering wheelPilot Assist only functions if the driver's hands are on the steering wheel.
If Pilot Assist detects that thedriver's hands are not on thesteering wheel, a symbol andtext message will appear toinstruct the driver to activelysteer the vehicle.
If the driver's hands are still not detected on the steering wheel after a few seconds havepassed, the instructions to actively steer thevehicle will be repeated, accompanied by anaudible signal.
