Cruise control* - deactivate
How it is deactivated is described here.
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
but-
ton.

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. 208)
and time interval (p. 209) 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. 209) and the car
comes too close to a vehicle in front, then the
driver is warned instead by the Distance
Warning (p. 219) 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.
IMPORTANT
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. 211) function.
