Cruise control* - resume set speed
The cruise control (CC – Cruise Control) helps
the driver to maintain an even speed.
After temporary deactivation and standby
mode (p. 204) it is possible to resume the set
speed.
To reactivate the cruise control from standby
mode:
•
Press the steering wheel button
.
> The combined instrument panel's
marking (5) and symbol (6) change colour
from GREY to WHITE - the car then fol-
lows the last stored speed.
A marked speed increase may occur once
the speed has been resumed by selecting
the
button.

Cruise control is switched off with the steer-
ing wheel button (1) or by switching off the
engine - the set/stored speed is thus cleared
and cannot then be resumed with the

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. 209)
and time interval (p. 210) to the car in front.
When the radar detector detects a slower
vehicle in front of the car, the speed is auto-
matically 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 (p. 211) and the car
comes too close to a vehicle in front, then the
driver is warned instead by the Distance
Warning (p. 220) function about the short
distance.

WARNING
The driver must always be observant with
regard to the traffic conditions and inter-
vene when the adaptive cruise control is
not maintaining a suitable speed or suita-
ble 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 con-
trol is being used.
Maintenance of adaptive cruise control
components must only be performed at a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended.
For a limited time after the service, the
ACC function can have a somewhat lim-
ited range. The system is calibrated whilst
driving and full function returns automati-
cally.
Automatic gearbox
Cars with automatic gearbox have enhanced
functionality with the adaptive cruise control's
Queue assistance (p. 212) function.

WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision
avoidance system. The driver must inter-
vene if the system does not detect a vehi-
cle in front.
The adaptive cruise control does not brake
for humans or animals, and not for small
vehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-
cles. Nor for low trailers, oncoming, slow
or stationary vehicles and objects.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for
example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at
junctions, 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.
Distance to the vehicle ahead (p. 210) is
measured primarily by a radar sensor
(p. 215). 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. 210). 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. 215) braking may come unexpect-
edly or not at all.
The adaptive cruise control can be activated
to follow another vehicle at speeds from
30 km/h
5
up to 200 km/h. If the speed falls
below 30 km/h or if the engine speed
becomes too low, the cruise control is set in
standby mode (p. 211) at which automatic
braking ceases - the driver must then take
over himself/herself to maintain a safe dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead.

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.
1. Collision warning system warning lamp and
warning sound
6
.
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 warning sound from the Collision
warning system (p. 230) 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 sun-
glasses.
WARNING
The adaptive cruise control only warns of
vehicles which its radar unit has detected -
hence a 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.

At the same time a speed
range is marked:
•
the higher speed with GREEN marking is

cle in front.
Changing the stored speed
Stored speed is changed with short or long
presses on the

To adjust +/- 5 km/h:
•
Use short presses - each press gives
+/- 5 km/h.
To adjust +/- 1 km/h:
•

Different time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be
selected and shown in the
combined instrument panel
as 1-5 horizontal lines - the
more lines the longer the
time interval. One line corre-
sponds to approximately 1 second to the
vehicle in front, 5 lines approximately
3 seconds.
To set/change the time distance:
•
Increase or decrease with the steering
wheel buttons
/
.
At low speed, when the distances are short,
the adaptive cruise control increases the time
interval slightly.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time
interval 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.
The same symbol is also shown when Dis-
tance Warning (p. 220) function is activated.
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 vehi-
cle in front is preventing an increase in
speed.
The higher the speed the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a given time
interval.

Adaptive cruise control* - temporary
deactivation, and standby mode
The adaptive cruise control can be temporar-
ily deactivated and set in standby mode.
Temporary deactivation/standby mode
To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruise
control and set it in standby mode:
•
Press the steering wheel button
This symbol and the stored speed's
marking then change colour from
GREEN to WHITE.
Standby mode due to driver intervention
The adaptive cruise control is temporarily dis-
engaged and set automatically in standby
mode if:
•
the foot brake is used
•
the clutch pedal is depressed for longer
than 1 minute
7
•
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 accel-
erator 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. 196). If any of these systems stops work-
ing, the adaptive 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 inter-
vene 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
•
speed has fallen below 30 km/h
8
•
wheels lose traction
•
brake temperature is high
•
the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet
snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).
Resume set speed
Adaptive cruise control in standby mode is
reactivated with one press on the steering
wheel button
- the speed is then set to the
last stored speed.
A pronounced increase in speed may
occur after the cruise control has been
reactivated with the
button.

Adaptive cruise control* - overtaking
another vehicle
When the car is following another vehicle and
the driver indicates an impending overtaking
manoeuvre with the direction indicator
9
, the
adaptive cruise control helps to briefly accel-
erate the car towards the vehicle in front.
This function is active at speeds
above 70 km/h.
WARNING
Be aware that this function can be acti-
vated in more situations other than during
overtaking, e.g. when a direction indicator
is used to indicate a change of lane or exit
to another road - the car will then acceler-
ate briefly.

assistance
Queue assistance also provides the adaptive
cruise control with enhanced functionality at
speeds below 30 km/h.
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 below
30 km/h and when stationary
•
Change of target
•
Automatic braking ceases when station-
ary
•
Automatic activation parking brake.
Note that the lowest programmable speed for
the adaptive cruise control is 30 km/h - even
though it is capable of following another vehi-
cle down to a standstill, a speed lower than
30 km/h cannot be selected/stored.

Extended speed range
In order to activate the adaptive cruise
control, the driver's door must be closed
and the driver must be wearing the seat-
belt.
With an automatic gearbox, the adaptive
cruise control can follow another vehicle
within the range 0-200 km/h.
A vehicle in front must be within a reason-
able distance in order to enable activation
of the adaptive cruise control at a speed
lower than 30 km/h.
For shorter stops in connection with inching
in slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is
automatically resumed if the stops do not
exceed about 3 seconds - if it takes longer
before the car in front starts moving again
then the Adaptive cruise control is set in
standby mode with automatic braking. The
driver must then reactivate it in one of the fol-
lowing ways:
•
Press the steering wheel button
.
or
•
Depress the accelerator pedal.
> The adaptive cruise control will then
resume following the vehicle in front.
The Queue Assist function can hold the car
stationary for a maximum of 4 minutes -
then the parking brake is applied and the
adaptive cruise control is disengaged.
•
The parking brake must be released
before the adaptive cruise control can
be reactivated.
Change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then
there may be stationary traffic in front.
When the adaptive cruise control is following
another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h and
changes target from a moving to a stationary
vehicle, the adaptive cruise control will slow
down for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When the adaptive cruise control is follow-
ing another vehicle at speeds in excess of
30 km/h and the target is changed from a
moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the
adaptive cruise control will ignore the sta-
tionary vehicle and instead select the
stored speed.
•
The driver must intervene him/herself
and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change
of target
The adaptive cruise control is disengaged
and set in standby mode:
•
when the speed is below 5 km/h and the
adaptive cruise control is uncertain
whether the target object is a stationary
vehicle or some other object, e.g. a speed
bump.
•
when the speed is below 5 km/h and the
vehicle in front turns off so the adaptive
cruise control no longer has a vehicle to
follow.
Termination of automatic braking at a
standstill
In certain situations, queue assistance stops
automatic braking at a standstill. This means
that the brakes are released and the car may
start to roll - the driver must therefore inter-
vene and brake the car himself/herself in
order to maintain its position.

•
the driver puts his/her foot on the brake
pedal
•
the parking brake is applied
•
the gear selector is moved to P, N or R
position
•
the driver sets the adaptive cruise control
in standby mode.
Automatic activation parking brake
In certain situations queue assistance applies
the parking brake in order to keep the car
remaining stationary.
This takes place if:
•
the driver opens the door or takes off
his/her seatbelt
•
ESC is changed from Normal to Sport
mode
•
Queue assistance has held the car sta-
tionary for more than 4 minutes
•

Radar sensor
The function of the radar sensor is to detect
cars or larger vehicles in the same direction,
in the same lane.
The radar sensor is used by the following
functions:
•
Distance Warning*
•
Adaptive cruise control*
•
Collision Warning System with Auto
Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detec-
tion*
In the event of visible damage to the car's
grille, or if you suspect that the radar sen-
sor may be damaged:
•
Contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
The function may completely or partially
disappear - or malfunction - if the grille,
the radar sensor or its bracket is damaged
or has loosened.
Modification of the radar sensor could result
in it being illegal to use.

Radar sensor - limitations
A radar sensor (p. 215) has certain limitations
- due to its limited field of vision for example.
The capacity of the adaptive cruise control to
detect a vehicle in front is significantly
reduced if:
•
the speed of vehicles in front is signifi-
cantly different from your own speed
•
its radar sensor becomes blocked - e.g.
in heavy rain or slush, or if other objects
have collected in front of the radar sen-
sor.
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor
clean - see subheading "Maintenance"
Field of vision
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision.
In some situations another vehicle is not
detected, or the detection is made later than
expected.
ACC field of vision.
Sometimes the radar sensor is late at
detecting vehicles at close distances -
e.g. a vehicle that drives in between the
car and vehicles in front.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles not driving in the centre of the
lane can remain undetected.
In bends the radar sensor may detect the
wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehicle
from view.

Adaptive cruise control* - fault tracing
and action
If the combined instrument panel shows the
message
Radar blocked See manual
then it
means that the adaptive cruise control's radar
sensor (p. 215) cannot detect other vehicles
in front of the car.
This message indicates that neither of the
functions for Distance Alert (p. 220) or Colli-
sion Warning with Auto Brake (p. 230) are
working.
The following table presents examples of
possible causes for a message being shown
along with the appropriate action:
Cause
Action
The radar surface in the grille is dirty or covered with ice or snow.
Clean the radar surface in the grille from dirt, ice and snow.
Heavy rain or snow blocking the radar signals.
No action. Sometimes the radar does not work during heavy rain or snowfall.
Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the
radar signals.
No action. Sometimes the radar does not work on a very wet or snowy road
surface.
The radar surface has been cleaned but the message remains.
Wait. It could take several minutes for the radar to sense that it is no longer
blocked.
