Overtaking Assistance

Overtaking Assistance can help the driver
when overtaking other vehicles. The function
can be used with adaptive cruise control

*

 or

Pilot Assist

*

.

How overtaking assistance works

When adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist is
following another vehicle and the driver indi-
cates the intention to overtake by activating
the direction indicator

69

, the systems help by

accelerating the vehicle towards the vehicle
ahead 

before

 the driver's vehicle reaches the

overtaking lane.

The function then delays reducing speed in
order to avoid premature braking when the
driver’s car is approaching a slower vehicle.

The function remains active until the driver’s
vehicle has cleared the overtaken vehicle.

WARNING

Be aware that this function can be acti-

vated in more situations than during over-

taking, 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.

WARNING

•

The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.

•

•

Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.

Use Overtaking Assistance

Overtaking assistance can be used with
adaptive cruise control

*

 or Pilot Assist

*

. There

are a number of criteria if Overtaking Assis-
tance is to be used.

The following conditions must exist for Over-
taking Assistance to be activated:

•

there must be a vehicle in front (the “tar-
get vehicle”)

•

your car's 

current speed

 is

at least 70 km/h (43 mph)

•

the stored speed

 must be high enough

for overtaking to take place safely.

To start the Overtaking Assistance:

–

Activate the direction indicator.

Use the left-hand direction indicator in a
left-hand drive car right in a right-hand
drive car.
> Overtaking Assistance is started.

69

On left flash only in left-hand-drive car, or right flash in right-hand-drive car.

WARNING

When using the Overtaking Assistance

System, the driver should be aware that

there may be undesired acceleration if the

conditions suddenly change.
Some situations should therefore be avoi-

ded, such as if:

•

the car is approaching an exit for turn-
of that is in the same direction as over-
taking would normally occur.

•

the vehicle ahead slows down before
the driver's car has crossed over into
the overtaking lane.

•

the traffic in the overtaking lane slows
down.

•

a right-hand drive car is driven in a
county with left-hand traffic (or vice
versa).

Situations of this type are avoided by tempo-
rarily setting adaptive cruise control or Pilot
Assist to standby mode.

358

Limitations for camera and radar

unit

The camera and radar unit has certain limita-
tions – which in turn also limit those func-
tions that use the unit. A driver should be
aware about the following examples of limita-
tions.

Camera and radar

Blocked unit

The marked area must be cleaned regularly and kept

free from stickers, objects, shade film, etc.

The camera unit is placed inside the upper
section of the windscreen together with the
car's radar unit.

Do not place, stick or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windscreen, in front of
or around the camera and radar unit – this
may interfere with camera and radar-based
functions. This may result functions being
reduced, being switched off completely or giv-
ing incorrect function responses.

If the driver display shows this sym-
bol and the message "

Windscreen

sensor

  

Sensor blocked, see

Owner's manual

", this means that

the camera and radar unit cannot detect other
vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large ani-
mals in front of the car, and that the car's
camera-based and radar-based functions may
be disrupted.

The following table presents examples of pos-
sible causes for a message being shown,
along with the appropriate action:

Cause

Action

The windscreen surface in front of the camera and radar unit is
dirty or covered with ice or snow.

Clean dirt, ice and snow from the windscreen surface in front of the camera
and radar unit.

Thick fog and heavy rain or snow block the radar signals or the
camera view.

No action. Sometimes the unit does not work during heavy rain or snowfall.

DRIVER SUPPORT

}}

359

Cause

Action

Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the
radar signals or camera view.

No action. Sometimes the unit does not work on a very wet or snow-covered
road surface.

Dirt has appeared between the inside of the windscreen and the
camera and radar unit.

Visit a workshop to have the windscreen inside the unit's cover cleaned - an
authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Strong oncoming light

No action. The camera unit is reset automatically in more favourable light con-
ditions.

High temperature

At very high temperatures the camera and
radar unit can temporarily be switched off for
about 15 minutes after the engine is started so
as to protect the unit's electronics. The cam-
era and radar unit restarts automatically when
the temperature has fallen sufficiently.

Damaged windscreen

NOTE

If not rectified it can lead to reduced per-
formance for the driver support systems
that use the camera and radar unit. This
may result functions being reduced, being
switched off completely or giving incorrect
function responses.

The following is also applicable so as not to
risk incorrect function for the driver supports
that use the radar unit:

•

If a scratch, crack or stone chip appears
on the windscreen in front of any of the
"windows" for the camera and radar unit
and covers an area of
approx. 0.5 × 3.0 mm (0.02 × 0.12 in.) or
more, a workshop

72

 must be contacted so

that the windscreen can be replaced.

•

Volvo recommends 

not

 repairing cracks,

scratches or stone chips in the area in
front of the camera and radar unit – the
entire windscreen should be replaced
instead.

•

Before replacing a windscreen, contact a
workshop

72

 to verify that the correct

windscreen has been ordered and will be
fitted.

•

The same type of windscreen wipers or
windscreen wipers approved by Volvo
must be fitted when the windscreen is
replaced.

•

When replacing the windscreen, the cam-
era and radar unit must be recalibrated by
a workshop

72

 to ensure the functionality

of all the camera and radar-based systems
in the car.

Radar

Vehicle speed

The radar unit's ability to detect a vehicle
ahead is greatly reduced if the speed of the
vehicle ahead is very different to the speed of
your own car.

An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Limited field of vision

The radar unit has a limited field of vision. In
some situations another vehicle is not
detected, or the detection is made later than
expected.

The radar unit's field of vision.

Sometimes the radar unit is late at detect-
ing vehicles at close distances - e.g. a

vehicle that drives in between your car and
the vehicle ahead.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles not driving in the centre of the
lane can remain undetected.
In bends, the radar unit may detect the
wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehicle
from view.

Low trailers

Low trailer in radar shadow.

Low trailers can also be difficult for the radar
unit to detect, or are not detected at all - the
driver should therefore be particularly careful
when driving behind low trailers when the
adaptive cruise control

*

 or Pilot Assist

*

 is acti-

vated.

Camera

Impaired vision

The cameras have limitations similar to the
human eye, i.e. may "see" worse in for exam-
ple intense snowfall or rain, dense fog, heavy

dust storms and snow flurries. Under such
conditions, the functions of camera-depend-
ent systems could be significantly reduced or
temporarily disengaged.

Strong oncoming light, reflections in the car-
riageway, snow or ice on the road surface,
dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markings
can also significantly reduce camera function
when it is used to scan the carriageway to
detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals and
other vehicles.

Park assist camera

*

Blind sectors

There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields

of vision.

In the park assist camera's 360° view

*

 obsta-

cles/objects may "vanish" in the gaps
between the individual cameras.

WARNING

Pay attention to the possibility that, even if

it only looks like a relatively small part of

the image is obscured, a relatively large

sector could be hidden from view. An

obstacle could thereby go undetected until

the car is very close to it.

Defective camera

If a camera sector is black
and contains this symbol
then it means that the cam-
era is out of order.

The following illustration
shows an example.

The car's left-hand camera is out of order.

A black camera sector is also shown in the fol-
lowing instances, but then 

without

 the sym-

bol for defective camera:

•

open door

•

open tailgate

•

folded-in door mirror.

Light conditions

The camera image is adjusted automatically
according to prevailing light conditions.
Because of this, the image may vary slightly in

brightness and quality. Poor light conditions
can result in reduced image quality.

Rear parking camera

WARNING

Pay additional attention

while reversing when this

symbol is shown if a

trailer, bicycle rack or sim-

ilar is mounted and electri-

cally connected to the car.
The symbol indicates that

the parking assistance sensors rearward

are 

switched off

 and will not warn of any

obstacles.

NOTE

A bike carrier or other accessory mounted
on the rear of the car could obscure the
camera's view.

Recommended maintenance for

camera and radar unit

In order that the camera and radar unit shall
function correctly, they must be kept clear of
dirt, ice and snow, and be cleaned regularly
with water and car shampoo.

NOTE

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
may cause incorrect warning signals,
reduced or no function.

Location of the parking sensors.

Location of rear radar units. Keep the surface indi-

cated clean – on both the left and right-hand sides of

the car.

•

To ensure best possible functionality, the
surfaces in front of the sensors must be
kept clean.

•

Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in
the area of the sensors.

•

Clean camera lenses regularly with luke-
warm water and car shampoo - be careful
not to scratch the lenses.

IMPORTANT

Maintenance of driver support components
must only be performed at a workshop –
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
