Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

WARNING

The camera has the same limitations as
the human eye. In other words, its
“vision is impaired” by adverse weather
conditions such as heavy snowfall,
dense fog, etc. These conditions may
reduce the function of systems that
depend on the camera or cause these
systems to temporarily stop function-
ing.

Never place any objects, decals, etc.,
on the windshield in front of the camera.
This could reduce or block the camera’s
function, and could cause one or more
of the systems that utilize the camera to
stop functioning.

Strong sunlight, reflections from the
road surface, ice or snow covering the
road, a dirty road surface, or unclear
lane marker lines may drastically reduce
the camera’s capacity to detect the side
of a lane or another vehicle.

Fault tracing and actions

If the message

Windshield sensors

blocked

is displayed, this means that the cam-

era is obscured and cannot detect vehicle or
road marker lines in front of the vehicle.

This, in turn, means that Collision Warning with
Auto-brake, Lane Departure Warning, and
Driver Alert Control will not have full function-
ality.

The table lists possible causes for this mes-
sage being displayed, and suitable actions.

Cause

Action

The surface of the windshield in front of the camera is dirty or covered
with ice or snow.

Clean or clear the section of the windshield in front of the camera.

Fog, heavy rain or snow is interfering with the function of the camera.

Introduction

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an optional
system designed to assist the driver by main-
taining a set speed or a set distance to the
vehicle ahead. It is primarily intended for use
on long straight roads in steady traffic, such as
on highways and other main roads.

WARNING

Do not use the adaptive cruise control
system in demanding driving conditions
such as city traffic, winding roads, at
intersections, on slippery surfaces, in
poor visibility, heavy rain, etc.

Maintenance of cruise control compo-
nents must only be performed by an
authorized Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control cannot cover all
driving situations and traffic, weather
and road conditions. The Function sec-
tion provides information about limita-
tions that the driver must be aware of
before using the adaptive cruise con-
trol.

This system is designed to be a supple-
mentary driving aid. It is not, however,
intended to replace the driver's atten-
tion and judgement. The driver is
responsible for maintaining a safe dis-
tance and speed and must intervene if
adaptive cruise control does not main-
tain a suitable speed or suitable dis-
tance.

Function

G021412

Function overview

Warning light, braking by driver required

Controls

Radar sensor in front grille

Adaptive cruise control consists of:

A cruise control system to maintain a set
speed

A system to maintain a set distance to the
vehicle ahead (expressed as a time inter-
val. For example, you can choose to
remain approximately 2 seconds behind
the vehicle ahead).

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*

04

166

*

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control is not a collision
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 slow moving or stationary vehicles.

The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same
lane) is measured by a radar sensor. Your vehi-
cle's speed is regulated by acceleration and
braking. The brakes may emit a sound when
they are being modulated by the adaptive
cruise control system. This is normal.

WARNING

The brake pedal moves when the adaptive
cruise control system modulates the
brakes. Do not rest your foot under the
brake pedal.

The adaptive cruise control system is designed
to follow the vehicle ahead of you in the same
lane, at a set time interval.

If the radar sensor has not detected a vehicle
ahead, the system will then attempt to maintain
the set speed. This is also the case if the speed

of the vehicle ahead exceeds the speed that
you have set.

The adaptive cruise control system is designed
to smoothly regulate speed. However, the
driver must apply the brakes in situations that
require immediate braking. This applies when
there are great differences in speed between
vehicles, or if the vehicle ahead brakes sud-
denly.

WARNING

Due to limitations in the radar sensor, brak-
ing may occur unexpectedly or not at all,
see page 168.

Adaptive cruise control can only be activated
at speeds above 20mph (30 km/h). If speed
falls below 20 mph (30 km/h) or if engine speed
(rpm) becomes too low, adaptive cruise control
disengages and will no longer modulate the
brakes. In situations when adaptive cruise con-
trol cannot be activated

Cruise Control

Unavailable

is shown in the display, see

page 170.

WARNING

When adaptive cruise control disengages,
the brakes will not be modulated automati-
cally. The driver must assume full control
over the vehicle.

Warning light-driver braking required

Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity
that is equivalent to approximately 30% of the
vehicle's total braking capacity. In situations
requiring more brake force than ACC can pro-
vide, if the driver does not apply the brakes, an
audible signal will sound and a red warning
light will illuminate in the windshield to alert the
driver to react.

NOTE

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

Cruise control only warns of vehicles
detected by the radar sensor, see
page 168. In some cases there may be no
warning or the warning may be delayed. The
driver should always apply the brakes when
necessary.

that ACC is in standby mode.

Setting a speed

Use the

or

buttons to store (set) the

vehicle's current speed. The set speed, for
example 55 mph, is shown in the display.

NOTE

Adaptive cruise control cannot be engaged
at speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h).

The “car” symbol illuminates
on the left side of the display
when the radar sensor
detects another vehicle
ahead. The distance to a vehi-
cle ahead is only regulated
when this symbol is illumi-

nated.

Adjusting the set speed

After a speed has been set, it can be increased
or decreased by using the

or

buttons.

When the system is in active mode, the

but-

ton has the same function as

a smaller increase in speed.

NOTE

If one of the adaptive cruise control but-
tons is pressed for more than approxi-
mately one minute, ACC will be deacti-
vated. The engine must then be
switched off and restarted to reset ACC.

In some situations cruise control cannot

current time interval is shown briefly in the dis-
play following adjustment.

Five different time intervals
can be selected and are
shown in the display as 1–5
horizontal bars. The greater
the number of bars, the longer
the time interval. At low
speeds, when the distance to

the vehicle ahead is short, ACC increases the
time interval slightly. In order to follow the vehi-
cle ahead as smoothly as possible, ACC allows
the time interval to vary considerably in certain
situations.

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 sit-
uation occurs in traffic.

The number of bars indicating the selected
time interval are shown while the setting is
being made and for several seconds afterward.
A smaller version of the symbol is then shown
to the right in the display. The same symbol is
also displayed when Distance Alert is acti-
vated, see page 172 .

Deactivating and resuming settings

Cruise control is deactivated, either with a
short press on

, or by action taken by the

driver, such as braking, etc. The set speed, for
example 55 mph, is then shown in parenthe-
ses. Speed and time interval are resumed by
pressing

.

WARNING

There may be a significant increase in speed
after the

button has been pressed.

A short press on

in standby mode or a long

press in active mode deactivates cruise con-

trol. The set speed is then cleared and cannot
be resumed.

When ACC is activated, the vehicle’s speed
increases by approximately 1 mph (1 km/h)
each additional time

is pressed.

Deactivation due to action by the driver

ACC is deactivated:

when the brakes are applied

if the gear selector is moved to N

if the accelerator pedal is depressed for an
extended period.

NOTE

If the accelerator pedal is only depressed for
a short time, such as when passing another
vehicle, ACC is deactivated temporarily and
is reactivated when the pedal is released.

Automatic deactivation

Adaptive cruise control is linked to other sys-
tems such as ABS, the stability and traction
control system (DSTC), and the Distance Alert
System. If any of these systems are not func-
tioning properly, adaptive cruise control is
automatically deactivated.

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

Cruise Control

Canceled

is shown in the display. The driver

must then intervene and adapt the vehicle's
speed to the surrounding traffic.

Automatic deactivation may be caused if:

the vehicle's speed falls below 20 mph
(30 km/h)

the wheels lose traction or if the anti-lock
brake system (ABS) is activated

brake temperature is high

engine speed (rpm) is too low

the radar sensor is obstructed by, for
example, wet snow or rain.

The radar sensor and its limitations

The radar sensor is used by both Adaptive
Cruise Control and the Collision Warning Sys-
tem with Auto-brake. It is designed to detect
cars or larger vehicles driving in the same
direction as your vehicle.

WARNING

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 vehicles
ahead is impeded:

heavy rain, or if snow or other objects are
obscuring the radar sensor.

NOTE

Keep the area in front of the radar sensor
clean.

if the speed of vehicles ahead is signifi-
cantly different from your own speed.

WARNING

The radar sensor has a limited field of vision.
In some situations it may detect a vehicle
later than expected or not detect vehicles at
all.

G021414

Radar sensor field of vision (gray)

In certain situations, the radar sensor can-
not detect vehicles at close quarters, for
example a vehicle that suddenly enters the

lanes between your vehicle and the one
that the system has already detected.

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 a detected vehicle
from view.

Fault tracing and actions

If the message

Radar blocked See manual

is

displayed, this means that the radar signals
from the sensor have been obstructed and that
a vehicle ahead cannot be detected.

This, in turn, means that the functions of the
ACC, Distance Alert, and Collision Warning
System with Auto-brake will not function.

The table lists possible causes for this mes-
sage being displayed, and suitable actions.

Introduction

Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol and is a function that provides information
about the time interval to the vehicle ahead.

Time interval information is only given for a
vehicle that is driving ahead of your vehicle, in
the same lane, and in the same direction. No
information is provided for vehicles driving
toward you, moving very slowly, or at a stand-
still.

G017362

A smaller section of the red warning light in the
windshield glows steadily if your vehicle is
closer to the vehicle ahead than the set time
interval.

NOTE

Distance Alert is in active mode while Adap-
tive Cruise Control is active.

Distance Alert is active at speeds above
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).

WARNING

Distance Alert only indicates the distance to
the vehicle ahead. It does not affect the
speed of your vehicle.

Operation

Press the button in the center instrument
panel to switch this function on or off.

NOTE

The higher your vehicle’s speed, the
greater the distance to the vehicle
ahead, measured in feet (meters), for a
given time interval.

The set time interval is also used by
Adaptive Cruise Control, see page 167.

WARNING

Only use a time interval that is suitable in
current traffic conditions.

Limitations

The Distance Alert function uses the same
radar sensor used by Adaptive Cruise Control
and the Collision Warning system. See page
168 for more information on the radar sensor’s
limitations.

NOTE

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 to
detect. This may result in the warning
light illuminating at a shorter distance
than the one that has been set, or that
the light will not come on at all.

Introduction

The Driver Alert System is designed to help a
driver who may be becoming fatigued or who
is inadvertently leaving the lane.

The Driver Alert System consists of two differ-
ent functions that can be switched on together
or separately.

Driver Alert Control (DAC)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

When one or both of the functions has been
switched on, it is in standby mode and is acti-
vated when the vehicle exceeds a speed of
40 mph (65 km/h).

The function deactivates if speed goes under
37 mph (60 km/h).

Both functions use a camera that is dependent
on the road/lane being clearly marked by pain-
ted lines on each side.

WARNING

The Driver Alert system does not function in
all situations and is designed to be a sup-
plementary aid. It is not, however, intended
to replace the driver’s attention and judge-
ment.

Driver Alert Control (DAC)–general
information

G017332

This function is intended to alert the driver if
his/her driving becomes erratic, such as if the
driver is distracted or fatigued.

NOTE

The camera has certain limitations, see
page 161.

A camera monitors the painted lines marking
the lane in which the vehicle is traveling and
compares the direction of the road with the
driver’s movements of the steering wheel. The
driver is alerted if the vehicle does not follow
the lane smoothly.

DAC is designed to help detect a slowly chang-
ing driving pattern. It is primarily intended to be
used on main roads and is not meant for use in
city traffic.

WARNING

DAC is not intended to extend the dura-
tion of driving. Always plan breaks at
regular intervals to help remain alert.

In certain cases, fatigue may not affect
the driver’s behavior. In situations of
this type, no warning will be provided.
Therefore, it is important to take breaks
at regular intervals, regardless of
whether or not DAC has given a warn-
ing.

Limitations

In certain situations, DAC may provide warn-
ings even if the driver’s driving pattern has not
become erratic.

The function is activated when the
vehicle exceeds a speed of 40 mph
(65 km/h). The display will show level
markings of 1–5 bars, where a low

number of bars indicates erratic driving. A high
number of bars indicates stable driving.

If the vehicle is being driven erratically, the
driver will be alerted by an audible signal and
the message Driver Alert, Time for a break is
displayed. The warning will be repeated after a
short time if the driving pattern remains the
same.

WARNING

An alert should be taken seriously since
it is sometimes difficult for a driver to
realize that he/she is fatigued.

In the event of a warning or if the driver
feels fatigued, stop as soon as possible
in a safe place and rest.
