The driver can be alerted if the vehicle is
exceeding a detected speed limit and is
approaching a speed camera.

Speed Limit Warning

 warns the driver if the

vehicle's speed has exceeded the applicable
speed limit or the stored maximum speed. The
warning will be repeated once after
about 1 minute in that speed limit area if the
driver does not slow down.

A new warning and message indicating that
the speed limit has been exceeded will be pro-
vided only when the vehicle has entered a
new/different speed limit area.

NOTE

For an audible alert to be provided if the
speed is exceeded, the 

Speed Limit

Warning

 function must be activated and

WARNING

•

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

•

•

Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgment. The driver is always respon-
sible for ensuring the vehicle is driven
in a safe manner, at the appropriate
speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.

Using engine braking instead of
applying the brakes

Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly
applying the brakes. On downgrades, it can
sometimes be desirable to roll a bit faster and
let speed be reduced instead by engine brak-
ing alone. The driver can temporarily disen-
gage the Cruise Control braking function.

To disengage CC:

–

Press the accelerator pedal about halfway
down and then release it.
> Cruise Control will automatically disen-

gage the automatic brake function and
speed will only be reduced using the
engine braking function.

put in standby mode. This may happen auto-
matically or be due to driver intervention.

Standby mode means that the function is
selected in the instrument panel but not acti-
vated. In standby mode, cruise control will not
regulate speed.

standby mode if any of the following occurs:

•

The brakes are applied.

•

The gear selector is moved to 

N

.

•

The vehicle is driven faster than the set
speed for more than 1 minute.

The driver must then control the vehicle's
speed.

Temporarily increasing speed using the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehi-
cle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will
return to the set speed when the accelerator
pedal is released.

Automatic standby mode

The function may automatically go into
standby mode if one of the following occurs:

•

The wheels lose traction.

•

The engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.

•

The temperature in the brake system
becomes too high.

•

The vehicle's speed goes below 30 km/h
(20 mph).

The driver must then control the vehicle's
speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control

*

32

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC

33

) can help the

driver to maintain a constant speed, com-
bined with a preset time interval to the vehi-
cle in front.

The camera/radar sensor measures the distance to

the vehicle ahead.

Adaptive Cruise Control can help provide a
more relaxed driving experience on long trips
on highways or long, straight roads with even
traffic flows.

The driver sets a speed and a time interval to
the vehicle ahead. If the camera/radar sensor
detects a slower-moving vehicle ahead, your
vehicle's speed will be automatically adapted
according to the set time interval to that vehi-

31

Cruise Control

Depending on market, this function can be either standard or optional.

33

Adaptive Cruise Control

299

cle. When there are no longer slower-moving
vehicles ahead, the vehicle will return to the
set speed.

If the Curve Speed Assist (CSA)

*

 function is

activated, it may also affect the vehicle's
speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to:

•

smoothly regulate speed. The driver must
apply the brakes in situations requiring
immediate braking. For example, when
there are great differences in speed
between vehicles or if the vehicle ahead
brakes suddenly. Due to limitations in the
radar sensor, braking may occur unexpect-
edly or not at all.

•

follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane
and maintain a time interval to that vehicle
set by the driver. If the radar sensor does
not detect a vehicle ahead, it will instead
maintain the speed set by the driver. This
will also happen if the speed of the vehicle
ahead exceeds the set speed for your vehi-
cle.

WARNING

•

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

•

•

Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgment. The driver is always respon-
sible for ensuring the vehicle is driven
in a safe manner, at the appropriate
speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.

Only a workshop may perform mainte-
nance on driver support components – an
authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.

limitations

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC

47

) may have

limited functionality in certain situations.

Steep roads and/or heavy loads

Adaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended
to be driven on flat roads. The function may
not be able to maintain the correct time inter-
val to the vehicle ahead when driving down
steep hills. The driver should be extra attentive
and prepared to apply the brakes.

Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control if the vehi-
cle is carrying a heavy load or towing a trailer.

Drive mode unavailable

The 

Off Road

 drive mode cannot be selected

if Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.

WARNING

•

This is not a collision avoidance sys-
tem. The driver is always responsible
and must intervene if the system fails
to detect a vehicle ahead.

•

The function does not brake for people
or animals and does not brake for small
vehicles, such as bikes and motorcy-
cles. Similarly, it does not brake for low
trailers, oncoming, slow-moving or sta-
tionary vehicles and objects.

•

Do not use the function in demanding
situations, such as in city traffic, at
intersections, 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 on/off ramps.

NOTE

The function uses the vehicle's camera and
radar sensor, which has certain general
limitations.

where it can help provide a more comfortable
and relaxing driving experience.

The driver sets the desired speed and distance
to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist monitors the
distance to the vehicle ahead and the traffic
lane's side markers using the camera. The sys-
tem maintains the set time interval to the vehi-
cle ahead by automatically adjusting your vehi-
cle's speed and keeps your vehicle in its lane
by providing steering assistance.

If the Curve Speed Assist (CSA)

*

 function is

activated, it may also affect the vehicle's
speed.

Pilot Assist regulates speed by accelerating
and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit
a slight sound when they are being used to
adjust speed.

Pilot Assist is designed to:

•

smoothly regulate speed. The driver must
apply the brakes in situations requiring
immediate braking. For example, when
there are great differences in speed
between vehicles or if the vehicle ahead
brakes suddenly. Due to limitations in the

camera and radar sensor, braking may
occur unexpectedly or not at all.

•

follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane
and maintain a time interval to that vehicle
set by the driver. If the radar sensor does
not detect a vehicle ahead, it will instead
maintain the speed set by the driver. This
will also happen if the speed of the vehicle
ahead exceeds the set speed for your vehi-
cle.

The vehicle's position in the traffic
lane

When Pilot Assist helps to steer, it attempts to
position the vehicle halfway between the visi-
ble lane marking lines. For a smoother drive, it
is a good idea to allow the vehicle to find a
good position. The driver can always adjust
the position him/herself by increasing steering
input. It is important for the driver to make
sure the vehicle is positioned safely in the lane.

If Pilot Assist does not position the vehicle
appropriately in the lane, the driver should turn
off Pilot Assist or switch to Adaptive Cruise
Control
