The steering wheel buttons and display in cars with
speed limiter

To start the cruise control:

•

Press the steering wheel button for CRUISE
(without speed limiter) or

(with speed

limiter).

The cruise control symbol (6) in the com-
bined instrument panel illuminates - Cruise
control is in standby mode.

To activate cruise control:

•

At the required speed - press the steering
wheel button

The current speed is stored in the memory
and the combined instrument panel's
marking (5) illuminates at the selected speed
and the symbol (6) changes from GREY to

WHITE - the car then follows the stored
speed.

Cruise Control cannot be enabled at speeds
below 30 km/h (20 mph).

Changing the stored speed

Stored speed is changed with short or long
presses on the

steering wheel button.

To adjust +/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph):

•

Use short presses - each press gives
+/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph).

To adjust +/- 1 km/h (+/- 1 mph):

•

Hold down the button and release it at the
required speed.

Last press made is stored in the memory.

If speed is increased using the accelerator pedal
prior to pressing the

button, then it is the

car's current speed when the button is pressed
that is stored.

A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect
the cruise control setting - the car returns to the
last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.

If any of the Cruise Control buttons are held
depressed for several minutes then it is
blocked and deactivated. To be able to reacti-
vate Cruise Control, the car must be stopped
and the engine restarted.

Distance Warning*

The Distance Warning function (Distance Alert)
warns the driver if the time interval to the vehicle
ahead becomes too short.

Distance Warning is active at speeds above
30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts to vehicles
driving in front of the car, in the same direction.
No distance information is provided for oncoming,
slow or stationary vehicles.

Orange-coloured warning lamp

An orange-coloured warning lamp in the wind-
screen illuminates with a constant glow if the dis-
tance to the vehicle in front is shorter than the
set time interval.

A Volvo dealer has updated information about what applies in each respective market.

NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.

The same symbol is also shown when adaptive
cruise control (p. 203) is activated.

Distance warning is deactivated during the
time the adaptive cruise control is active.

WARNING

Distance warning only reacts if the distance

to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset

value - the speed of the driver's vehicle is not

affected.

Operation

Press the button in the centre console to switch
the function on or off. The function is switched on
if one lamp is illuminated in the button.

Some combinations of the selected equipment
leave no vacant space for a button in the centre
console - in which case, the function is operated
in the car's menu system MY CAR (p. 113) -

once there, search for the

func-

tion.

Set time interval

Controls and symbol for time interval.

Time interval - Increase/decrease.

Time interval - On.

Different time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be selected
and shown in the combined
instrument panel as 1-5 hori-
zontal lines - the more lines the
longer the time interval. One
line corresponds to

approximately 1 second to the vehicle in front,
5 lines approximately 3 seconds.

The higher the speed the longer the calcula-
ted distance in metres for a given time inter-
val.

The set time interval is also used by the func-
tion adaptive cruise control (p. 204).

Only use the time intervals permitted by local
traffic regulations.

201

Distance Warning* - limitations

This function, which uses the same radar sensor
as Adaptive cruise control (p. 203) and Collision
warning with auto brake (p. 228), has certain lim-
itations.

Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia-
tions in light intensity, as well as wearing sun-
glasses, could mean that the warning light in
the windscreen cannot be seen.

Poor weather or winding roads could affect
the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles
in front.

The size of other vehicles could also affect
detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. This
could mean that the warning lamp illuminates
at a shorter distance than the setting or that
the warning is temporarily absent.

Extremely high speeds can also cause the
lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance than
that set due to limitations in sensor range.

tions, see Radar sensor - limitations (p. 216) and

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)*

The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive
Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an
even speed combined with a pre-selected time
interval to the vehicle ahead.

The adaptive cruise control provides a more
relaxing driving experience on long journeys on
motorways and long straight main roads in
smooth traffic flows.

The driver sets the desired speed (p. 206) and
time interval to the car in front. When the radar
detector detects a slower vehicle in front of the
car, the speed is automatically adapted to that.
When the road is clear again the car returns to
the selected speed.

If the adaptive cruise control is switched off or
set to standby mode and the car comes too close
to a vehicle in front, then the driver is warned
instead by a Distance Alert (p. 199) about the
short distance.

WARNING

The driver must always be observant with

regard to the traffic conditions and intervene

when the adaptive cruise control is not main-

taining a suitable speed or suitable distance.
The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all

traffic, weather and road conditions.
Read all the sections about the adaptive

cruise control in the owner's manual in order

to learn about its limitations, of which the

driver should be aware before it is used.
The driver always bears responsibility for

maintaining the correct distance and speed,

even when the adaptive cruise control is

being used.

IMPORTANT

Maintenance of adaptive cruise control com-
ponents must only be performed at a work-
shop - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.

Automatic gearbox

Cars with automatic gearbox have enhanced
functionality with the adaptive cruise control's
Queue assistance (p. 210) function.

Adaptive cruise control* - function

Adaptive cruise control consists of a cruise con-
trol system and a coordinated spacing system.

Function overview

Warning lamp - braking by driver required

Radar sensor (p. 216)

Adaptive cruise control consists of a cruise con-
trol system and a coordinated spacing system.

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoid-

ance system. The driver must intervene if the

system does not detect a vehicle in front.
The adaptive cruise control does not brake for

humans or animals, and not for small vehicles

such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for

oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and

objects.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for

example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at junc-

tions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water

or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in

poor visibility, on winding roads or on slip

roads.

The distance to the vehicle ahead is mainly
measured by a radar sensor. The cruise control
function regulates the speed with acceleration
and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a
low sound when they are being used by the
adaptive cruise control.

WARNING

The brake pedal moves when the adaptive

cruise control brakes. Do not rest your foot

beneath the brake pedal - it may then

become trapped.

The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the
vehicle ahead in the same lane according to what
the driver set for time interval (p. 207). If the
radar sensor cannot see any vehicle in front then
the car will instead maintain the speed set and
stored by the driver. This also takes place if the
speed of the vehicle in front exceeds the stored
speed.

The adaptive cruise control aims to control the
speed in a smooth way. In situations that demand
sudden braking the driver must brake himself/
herself. This applies with large differences in
speed, or if the vehicle in front brakes heavily.
Due to limitations in the radar sensor (p. 216)
braking may come unexpectedly or not at all.

The adaptive cruise control can be activated to
follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h

(20 mph) up to 200 km/h (125 mph). If the
speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph) or if the
engine speed becomes too low, the cruise con-
trol is set in standby mode at which automatic
braking ceases - the driver must then take over
himself/herself to maintain a safe distance to the
vehicle in front.

NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may differ depending on car model.

Queue Assist (p. 210) in cars with automatic gearbox can operate in the range 0-200 km/h (0-125 mph).

205

Warning lamp - braking by driver
required

Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity
that is equivalent to approx. 40% of the car's
braking capacity.

Audio-visual warning signal in the event of a collision
risk

If the car needs to be braked more heavily than
the adaptive cruise control capacity and the driver
does not brake, then the warning lamp and warn-
ing sound from the Collision warning system
(p. 228) are used in order to alert the driver that
immediate intervention is required.

The warning lamp may be difficult to see in
strong sunlight or when wearing sunglasses.

WARNING

The adaptive cruise control only warns of

vehicles which the radar sensor has detected.

Hence the warning may not be given, or it

may be given with a certain delay. Do not wait

for a warning without braking when so

required.

Steep roads and/or heavy load

Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is
primarily intended for use when driving on level
road surfaces. It may have difficulty in keeping
the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when
driving on steep downhill slopes, with a heavy
load or with a trailer - in which case, be extra
attentive and ready to slow down.

To activate ACC:

•

At the required speed - press the steering
wheel button

The current speed is stored in the memory,
the combined instrument panel shows a
"magnifying glass" (6) around the stored
speed for a second or so and its marking
changes from WHITE to GREEN.

When this symbol changes colour from
WHITE to GREEN, ACC is active and
the car maintains the stored speed.

Only when the symbol shows
an image of another vehicle is
the distance to the vehicle in
front controlled by ACC.

207

At the same time a speed
range is marked:

•

the higher speed with GREEN marking is the
pre-programmed speed

•

the lower speed is the speed of the vehicle
in front.

Changing the stored speed

Stored speed is changed with short or long
presses on the

steering wheel button.

To adjust +/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph):

•

Use short presses - each press gives
+/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph).

To adjust +/- 1 km/h (+/- 1 mph):

•

Hold down the button and release it at the
required speed.

Last press made is stored in the memory.

If speed is increased using the accelerator pedal
prior to pressing the

button, then it is the

car's current speed when the button is pressed
that is stored.

A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect

the setting - the car returns to the last stored
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

If any of the adaptive cruise control buttons
are held depressed for several minutes then
the function is blocked and deactivated. To be
able to reactivate it, the car must be stopped
and the engine restarted.

In certain situations it cannot be reactivated -
in which case, the combined instrument panel
(p. 214) shows

To set/change the time distance:

•

Turn the steering wheel button set's thumb-
wheel (or use the

buttons for cars

without Speed limiters).

At low speed, when the distances are short, the
adaptive cruise control increases the time interval
slightly.

The adaptive cruise control allows the time inter-
val to vary noticeably in certain situations in order
to allow the car to follow the vehicle in front
smoothly and comfortably.

Note that a short time interval only allows the
driver a short time to react and take action if any
unforeseen traffic problem should arise.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

208

Only use the time intervals permitted by local
traffic regulations.

If the adaptive cruise control does not appear
to react when activated, this may be because
the time distance to the vehicle in front is pre-
venting an increase in speed.

The higher the speed the longer the calcula-
ted distance in metres for a given time inter-
val.

- with speed limiter

To temporarily disengage adaptive cruise control
and set it in standby mode:

•

Press the steering wheel button

This symbol and stored speed marking
then changes colour from GREEN to
WHITE.

Temporary deactivation/standby mode
- without speed limiter

To temporarily disengage adaptive cruise control
and set it in standby mode:

•

Press the steering wheel button

Standby mode due to driver
intervention

The adaptive cruise control is temporarily disen-
gaged and set automatically in standby mode if:

•

the foot brake is used

•

the clutch pedal is depressed for longer than
1 minute

•

the gear selector is moved to N position
(automatic gearbox)

•

the driver maintains speed higher than the
stored speed for longer than 1 minute.

The driver must then regulate the speed.

A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect
the setting - the car returns to the last stored
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Automatic standby mode

The adaptive cruise control is dependent on
other systems, e.g. Stability system ESC (p. 186).
If any of these systems stops working, the adap-
tive cruise control is deactivated automatically.

In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will
sound and the message

Adaptive cruise

control cancelled

is shown in the combined

instrument panel. The driver must then intervene
and adapt the speed and distance to the vehicle
ahead.

An automatic deactivation can be due to:

•

the driver opens the door

•

the driver takes off his seatbelt

•

engine speed is too low/high

Disengaging and selecting a higher or lower gear does not involve standby mode.

Adaptive cruise control* - overtaking

another vehicle

ACC can also assist during overtaking.

When the car is following another vehicle and the
driver indicates an impending overtaking
manoeuvre with the direction indicator

, the

adaptive cruise control helps to briefly accelerate
the car towards the vehicle in front.

The function is active at speeds above 70 km/h
(43 mph).

WARNING

Be aware that this function can be activated

in more situations other than during overtak-

ing, e.g. when a direction indicator is used to

indicate a change of lane or exit to another

road - the car will then accelerate briefly.

Adaptive Cruise Control* - queue

assistance

Queue assistance also provides the adaptive
cruise control with enhanced functionality at
speeds lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).

In cars with automatic gearbox the adaptive
cruise control is supplemented with the queue
assistance function (also referred to as "Queue
Assist").

Queue assistance has the following functions:

•

Extended speed range - also at lower than
30 km/h (20 mph) and at stationary

•

Change of target

•

Automatic braking ceases when stationary

Note that the lowest programmable speed for the
adaptive cruise control is 30 km/h (20 mph) -
even though the cruise control is capable of fol-
lowing another vehicle down to 0 km/h, a lower
speed cannot be selected.

Extended speed range

In order to activate the cruise control the driv-
er's door must be closed and the driver must
be wearing the seatbelt.

With an automatic gearbox, the adaptive cruise
control can follow another vehicle within the
range 0-200 km/h (0-125 mph).

Activation of the cruise control below
30 km/h (20 mph) requires a vehicle in front
within a reasonable distance.

For shorter stops in connection with inching in
slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is automati-
cally resumed if the stops do not exceed
approx. 3 seconds - if it takes longer before the
car in front starts moving again then the cruise
control is set in standby mode (p. 208) with auto-
matic braking. The driver must then reactivate it
in one of the following ways:

•

Press the steering wheel button

...or...

•

Depress the accelerator pedal.

The cruise control will then resume following
the vehicle in front.
