DRIVER SUPPORT
320
WARNING
•
The Pilot Assist function is supplementary
driver support intended to facilitate driv-
ing 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).
•
Pilot Assist should only be used if there
are clear lane lines painted on each side
of the lane. All other use will increase the
risk of contact with nearby obstacles that
cannot be detected by the functions.
•
Pilot Assist is not a substitute for the driv-
er's attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
proper position within the lane, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
NOTE
Depending on market, this function may be
either Standard or Optional.
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 attempts 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 sen-
sor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all.
Pilot Assist 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.
•
Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle at
speeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h
(125 mph).
•
Pilot Assist can provide steering assistance
from near-stationary speeds up to 140 km/h
(87 mph).
WARNING
•
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance
system. The driver must intervene if the
system fails to detect a vehicle ahead.
•
Pilot Assist does not brake for people,
animals, objects, small vehicles (e.g.
cycles and motorcycles), low trailers as
well as oncoming, slow or stationary vehi-
cles.
•
Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding sit-
uations, such as in city traffic, at intersec-
tions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of
water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/
snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads,
on highway on- or off-ramps, or with a
trailer connected to the vehicle.
CAUTION
Maintenance of the integrated components in
Pilot Assist may only be performed by a work-
shop – an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
In curves and forks in the road
Pilot Assist is designed to interact with the driver.
The driver should never wait for steering assis-
tance from Pilot Assist, but instead should always
be ready to increase his or her own steering
efforts, particularly in curves.
