Setting a time interval
Controls and display
Decrease/increase time interval
The set time interval to vehicles ahead can be
increased by pressing
and decreased by
pressing
. The current time interval is
shown briefly in the display following adjust-
ment.
Different time intervals can
be selected and are shown in
the instrument panel
3
as 1–5
horizontal bars. The greater
the number of bars, the
longer the time interval. One
bar represents a time interval
of approximately 1 second; 5 bars is approxi-
mately 3 seconds.
To set/change a time interval:
•
Press the
/
buttons (3).
At low speeds, when the distance to the vehi-
cle ahead is short, ACC increases the time
interval slightly. In order to follow the vehicle
ahead as smoothly as possible, ACC allows
the time interval to vary considerably in cer-
tain situations.
WARNING
•
Only use a time interval that is suitable
in current traffic conditions.
•
A short time interval gives the driver
limited reaction time if an unexpected
situation occurs in traffic.

WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate quickly after
has been pressed if its current speed is
considerably lower than the set speed.
Standby mode due to action by the
driver
ACC is temporarily deactivated and put in
standby mode:
•
if the brakes are applied
•
if the gear selector is moved to N
•
if the driver drives faster than the set
speed for more than 1 minute.
In this happens, the driver will have to regu-
late the vehicle's speed.
If the accelerator pedal is only depressed
for a short time, such as when passing
another vehicle, ACC is deactivated tem-
porarily and is reactivated when the pedal
is released.
Automatic standby mode
ACC is linked to other systems such as the
stability system. If this system is not function-
ing properly, ACC will switch off automati-
cally.
In the event of automatic deactivation, an
audible signal will sound and the message
Cruise control Cancelled
is shown in the
instrument panel. The driver must then inter-
vene and adapt the vehicle's speed to the
surrounding traffic and regulate the distance
to the vehicle ahead.
An automatic switch to standby mode may be
caused if:
•
engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
•
The driver's door is opened
•
The driver unbuckles his/her seat belt
•
the vehicle's speed goes below 18 mph
(30 km/h)
•
the wheels lose traction
•
brake temperature is high
•
the radar sensor is obstructed by, for
example, wet snow or rain.
Resuming the set speed
If ACC is in standby mode, it can be reactiva-
ted by pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad. The vehicle will return to the
most recently set speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control – passing
another vehicle
Passing another vehicle
If your vehicle’s speed is being regulated by
ACC and the driver indicates that he/she
would like to pass the vehicle ahead by using
the left turn signal, ACC can assist by accel-
erating briefly.
This function is active at speeds above
approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
WARNING
Please be aware that this function will also
cause the vehicle to accelerate briefly in
certain situations other than passing
another vehicle, for example using the left
turn signal to indicate a lane change or a
turn toward a highway exit at speeds
above approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).

Adaptive Cruise Control – introduction
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) –
Queue Assist
Queue Assist is an added ACC feature that is
linked to your vehicle's automatic transmis-
sion.
Introduction
Queue Assist is an added ACC feature that is
linked to your vehicle's automatic transmis-
sion.
Queue Assist consists of the following func-
tions:
•
Enhanced speed interval (including when
the vehicle is at a complete stop or is
moving at speed below 18 mph
(30 km/h))
•
Automatic standby mode when ACC
changes target vehicles
•
No automatic braking when at a standstill
•
The parking brake is applied automati-
cally
Please note that the lowest speed that can be
set is 18 mph (30 km/h), although ACC can
maintain a set speed/distance to a vehicle
ahead down to a standstill. Queue Assist
consists of the following features:
Enhanced speed interval
The driver's door must be closed and the
driver's seat belt must be fastened before
ACC can be put in active mode. If the driv-
er's seat belt is taken off or if the driver's
door is opened, ACC will return to standby
mode.
Your vehicle can maintain the set time interval
to the vehicle ahead at any permissible
speed, including a complete stop.
In order to activate ACC at speeds below
18 mph (30 km/h):
•
The vehicle ahead must be within a rea-
sonable distance (not farther away than
approx. 100 ft/30 meters)
•
The lowest speed that can be selected is
18 mph (30 km/h), although ACC will also
help maintain the set time interval to the
vehicle ahead at lower speeds, including
a complete stop.
During short stops (less than approximately
3 seconds) in slow-moving traffic, your vehi-
cle will begin moving again automatically as
soon as the vehicle ahead begins to move.
If it takes more than 3 seconds for the vehicle
ahead to begin moving, ACC will be automat-
ically go into standby mode.
||
07 Driver support
07
192
The driver will then have to reactivate ACC in
one of the following ways:
•
By pressing
•
By accelerating up to at least 3 mph
(4 km/h). ACC will then resume following
the vehicle ahead.
Your vehicle will then resume following the
vehicle ahead at the set time interval.
ACC can remain active and keep your
vehicle at a standstill for up to 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes have elapsed, the parking
brake will be engaged and ACC will go into
standby mode.
To reactivate ACC, the driver must release
the parking brake (see Parking brake –
general information (p. 268)).
Automatic standby mode when ACC
changes target vehicles
If the vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be
a stationary vehicle ahead
The following only applies at speeds below
approximately 18 mph (30 km/h):
If ACC changes target vehicles (the vehicle
that the radar sensor has detected) from a
moving vehicle to a stationary one, the sys-
tem will apply the brakes in your vehicle.
WARNING
At speeds above 18 mph (30 km/h), ACC
will not react to a stationary vehicle and
apply the brakes but will instead acceler-
ate to the previously set speed. The driver
must actively apply the brakes to stop the
vehicle.
ACC disengages and goes into standby
mode if:
•
Your vehicle's speed goes below 10 mph
(15 km/h) and ACC cannot determine if
the target object is a stationary vehicle or
some other type of object such as e.g., a
speed bump.
•
Your vehicle's speed goes below 10 mph
(15 km/h) and the vehicle ahead turns so
that ACC no longer has a target vehicle to
follow.
No automatic braking when at a
standstill
In certain situations, ACC will no longer apply
the brakes and go into standby mode while
the vehicle is not moving. This means that the
driver will have to apply the brakes.
This happens if:
•
The driver presses the brake pedal
•
The parking brake is activated
•
The gear selected is moved to P, N or R
•
The driver presses the
button to put
ACC in standby mode
The parking brake is applied
automatically
In certain situations, ACC will apply the park-
ing brake in order to continue keeping the
vehicle at a standstill.
This happens if:
•
The driver opens the door or takes off
his/her seat belt
•
The stability system is put in Sport mode
(see Stability system – operation (p. 176))
•
ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstill
for more than 2 minutes
•
The engine has been switched off
•
The brakes have overheated

Radar sensor
The radar sensor is designed to help detect
cars or larger vehicles driving in the same
direction as your vehicle, in the same lane.
The radar sensor and its limitations
In addition to being used by the Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), the radar sensor is also
used by Distance Alert (see Distance Alert –
introduction (p. 198)) and Collision Warning
with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detec-
tion (see Collision warning – introduction
WARNING
•
If there is visible damage to the front
grille or you suspect that the radar
sensor may be damaged in any way,
contact a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician as soon as possible.
The radar sensor may only function
partially (or not at all) if it is damaged
or is not securely fastened in place.
•
Accessories or other objects, such as
extra headlights, must not be installed
in front of the grille.
•
Modification of the radar sensor could
make its use illegal.
The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi-
cles ahead is impeded:
•
if the radar sensor is obstructed and can-
not detect other vehicles, for example in
heavy rain, or if snow or other objects are
obscuring the radar sensor.
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor
clean.
•
if the speed of vehicles ahead is signifi-
cantly different from your own speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control – limitations
The ACC cannot cover all driving situations
and traffic, weather and road conditions.
Situations where ACC may not function
optimally
WARNING
•
The radar sensor has a limited field of
vision. In some situations it may detect
a vehicle later than expected or not
detect other vehicles at all.
•
If ACC is not functioning properly,
cruise control will also be disabled.

Radar sensor's field of vision (shown in pink)
In certain situations, the radar sensor
cannot detect vehicles at close quarters,
for example a vehicle that suddenly
enters the lane between your vehicle and
the target vehicle.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles not driving in the center of the
lane may remain undetected.
In curves, the radar sensor may detect
the wrong vehicle or lose sight of the tar-
get vehicle.
WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover
all driving situations and traffic,
weather and road conditions. The
"Function" section provides informa-
tion about limitations that the driver
must be aware of before using this
feature.
•
This system is designed to be a sup-
plementary driving aid. It is not, how-
ever, intended to replace the driver's
attention and judgement. The driver is
responsible for maintaining a safe dis-
tance and speed and must intervene if
Adaptive Cruise Control does not
maintain a suitable speed or suitable
distance to the vehicle ahead.
•
Maintenance of ACC components may
only be performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo technician.
WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a colli-
sion avoidance system. The driver is
always responsible for applying the
brakes if the system does not detect
another vehicle.
•
Adaptive Cruise Control does not react
to people or animals, or small vehicles
such as bicycles and motorcycles. It
also does not react to slow moving,
parked or approaching vehicles, or
stationary objects.
•
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control in
demanding driving conditions such as
city driving or other heavy traffic situa-
tions, in slippery conditions, when
there is a great deal of water or slush
on the road, during heavy rain or
snow, in poor visibility, on winding
roads or on highway on- or off-ramps.

about the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Limitations
Distance Alert uses the same radar sensor
used by Adaptive Cruise Control and the Col-
lision Warning system. See Adaptive Cruise
Control – limitations (p. 193) for more infor-
mation on the radar sensor’s limitations.
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light
contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the
driver is not looking straight ahead may
make the visual warning signal in the wind-
shield difficult to see.
WARNING
•
Bad weather or winding roads may
affect the radar sensor’s capacity to
detect vehicles ahead.
•
The size of the vehicle ahead, such as
a motorcycle, may also make it difficult

City Safety – introduction
City Safety™
5
is a support system designed
to help the driver avoid low speed collisions
when driving in slow-moving, stop-and-go
traffic.
City Safety™ is not active if your vehicle’s
speed is below approximately 2 mph
(4 km/h). This means that City Safety™ will
not react if your vehicle approaches another
vehicle at very low speed, for example, when
parking.
The function is active at speeds up to
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) and assists
the driver by applying the brakes automati-
cally, thereby avoiding or helping to reduce
the effects of a collision.
City Safety™ is designed to intervene as late
as possible to help avoid unnecessary activa-
tion.
City Safety™ triggers brief, forceful braking if
a low-speed collision is imminent. However,
the system will not intervene in situations
where the driver actively steers the vehicle or
applies the brakes, even if a collision cannot
be avoided. This is done in order to always
give the driver’s actions highest priority.
City Safety™ activates in situations where the
driver has not applied the brakes in time,
which means that the system cannot help the
driver in all situations.
City Safety™ should not be used to alter the
way in which the driver operates the vehicle.
The driver should never rely solely on this
system to safely stop the vehicle.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will
not be aware of City Safety™ except when
the system intervenes when a low-speed col-
lision is imminent.
If the vehicle is also equipped with the
optional Collision Warning with Full Auto-
brake and Pedestrian Detection system, the
two systems interact. For more information
about the Collision Warning with Auto-brake
system, see Collision warning – introduction
WARNING
•
City Safety™ is a supplemental aid to
the driver. It can never replace the
driver’s attention to traffic conditions
or his/her responsibility for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner.
•
City Safety™ does not function in all
driving situations or in all traffic,
weather or road conditions.
WARNING
•
City Safety™ only reacts to vehicles
traveling in the same direction as your
vehicle and does not react to small
vehicles or motorcycles or to people or
animals.
•
City Safety™ is not activated when
your vehicle is backing up.
•
City Safety™ functions at speeds up
to 30 mph (50 km/h). This system can
help prevent a collision if the differ-
ence in speed between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is less than
9 mph (15 km/h). If the difference in
speed is greater, a collision cannot be
avoided but the speed at which the
collision occurs can be reduced. The
driver must apply the vehicle’s brakes
for full braking effect.
•
City Safety™ will not intervene in a
potential collision situation if the vehi-
cle is being driven actively. The driver
is always responsible for maintaining a
safe distance to a vehicle or object
ahead.

Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield
6
City Safety™ monitors traffic ahead of you
using a laser sensor mounted in the upper
section of the windshield. If a collision is
imminent, City Safety™ will automatically
apply the brakes, which may feel like hard
braking.
If the difference in speed between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle ahead is more than
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City Safety™
alone cannot prevent a collision from taking
place. The driver must apply the brakes to
help avoid a collision or reduce its effect.
When the function activates and applies the
brakes, a message will appear in the informa-
tion display to indicate that the system is/has
been active.
•
When City Safety™ applies the
brakes, the brake lights will illuminate.
•
In cases where City Safety™ has stop-
ped the vehicle, the system will then
release the brakes. The driver must
apply the brakes to keep the vehicle at
a standstill.

reactivate when the engine is restarted.
WARNING
The laser sensor emits light when the igni-
tion is in mode II or higher, even if City
Safety™ has been switched off.
To switch City Safety™ on again:
•
Follow the same procedure as for switch-
ing City Safety™ off but select

Limitations
WARNING
The laser sensor has certain limitations
and its function may be reduced (or it may
not function at all) in conditions such as
heavy rain or snowfall, or by dense fog or
thick, blowing dust or snow. Condensa-
tion, dirt, ice or snow on the windshield
may also interfere with the sensor’s func-
tion.
The sensor used by City Safety™ is designed
to detect cars and other larger motor vehicles
ahead of your vehicle in both daylight and
darkness.
Objects such as warning flags hanging from
long objects on the roof or accessories such
as auxiliary lights or protective arches on the
front of the vehicle that are higher than the
hood may also impede the sensor’s function.
Braking distance to the vehicle ahead increa-
ses on slippery road surfaces, which may
reduce City Safety’s capacity to avoid a colli-
sion. In situations like this, the stability sys-
tem (see Stability system – introduction
(p. 175)) will help provide the best possible
braking capacity and stability.
City Safety™ emits a laser beam and meas-
ures the way in which the light is reflected.
07 Driver support

}}
205
Therefore, vehicles or objects with low-reflec-
tive surfaces may not be detected. Normally,
the license plate and taillight reflectors give
the rear section of a vehicle ahead sufficient
reflective surfaces to be detected.
•
Keep the windshield in front of the
laser sensor free of ice, snow, dirt,
etc., see City Safety – function
•
Snow or ice on the hood deeper than
2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sen-
sor. Keep the hood free of ice and
snow.
•
Do not mount or in any way attach
anything on the windshield that could
obstruct the laser sensor.

Troubleshooting
If
Windscreen Sensors blocked
appears in
the information display, this indicates that the
City Safety™ laser sensor is obstructed in
some way and cannot detect vehicles ahead
of you, which means that the system is not
functioning.
However, this message will not be displayed
in all situations in which the sensor is
obstructed. For this reason, the driver must
ensure that the area of the windshield in front
of the sensor is always kept clean.
The following table shows some of the situa-
tions that can cause the message to be dis-
played and suggested actions.
Cause
Action
The area of the wind-
shield in front of the sen-
sor is dirty or covered by
ice or snow.
Clean the
windshield or
remove the ice/
snow.
The laser sensor's field
of view is obstructed.
Remove the
obstruction.
If a crack, scratch or stone chip should
occur in the section of the windshield in
front the laser sensor, contact a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician to
repair or replace the windshield (see the
illustration showing the location of the sen-
sor in City Safety – function (p. 203)). Fail-
ing to do so may result in reduced City
Safety™ functionality.
To help prevent limited or reduced func-
tionality, please also observe the following:
•
Volvo recommends that cracks,
scratches or stone chips on the wind-
shield in front of the laser sensor
should not be repaired; in such cases,
the entire windshield should be
replaced.
•
Before the windshield is replaced,
contact a Volvo retailer to ensure that
the correct windshield is ordered and
installed. If the wrong type of wind-
shield is used, this may cause City
Safety™ to function improperly or not
at all. Volvo recommends the use of
only Genuine Volvo Replacement
Windshields.
•
When replacing windshield wipers, use
the same type or ones approved by
Volvo.
