WARNING
•
The Adaptive Cruise Control function is
supplementary driver support intended to
facilitate driving and help make it safer –
it cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sections
in the Owner's Manual about this function
to learn of its limitations, which the driver
must be aware of before using the func-
tion (see the link list at the end of this
article).
•
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a substi-
tute for the driver's attention and judg-
ment. The driver is always responsible 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.
NOTE
Depending on market, this function may be
either Standard or Optional.
Adaptive Cruise Control 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.
Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts to regu-
late speed smoothly. 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 unexpectedly or not at
all.
Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to 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 vehicle.
•
Adaptive Cruise Control can follow another
vehicle at speeds from a standstill up to
200 km/h (125 mph).
WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a collision
avoidance system. The driver is always
responsible and must intervene if the sys-
tem fails to detect a vehicle ahead.
•
Adaptive Cruise Control does not brake
for people or animals and does not brake
for small vehicles, such as bikes and
motorcycles. Similarly, it does not brake
for low trailers, oncoming, slow-moving or
stationary vehicles and objects.
•
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control in
demanding situations, such as in city traf-
fic, 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.
CAUTION
Maintenance of Adaptive Cruise Control com-
ponents may only be performed by a work-
shop – an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
