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 vehi-
cles 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 target vehi-
cle.
WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover all
driving situations and traffic, weather and
road conditions. The "Function" section
provides information about limitations that
the driver must be aware of before using
this feature.
•
This system is designed to be a supple-
mentary driving aid. It is not, however,
intended to replace the driver's attention
and judgement. The driver is responsible
for maintaining a safe distance 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 quali-
fied Volvo technician.
