DRIVER SUPPORT

If the camera and radar sensor cannot detect the
lane's side marker lines or a vehicle ahead, Pilot
Assist goes into standby mode.
When Pilot Assist is in standby mode and your
vehicle comes too close to the vehicle ahead, the
driver will be alerted by the Distance Alert func-
tion.
WARNING
•
Pilot Assist is designed to be a supple-
mentary driving aid and cannot cover all
driving situations, traffic, weather and/or
road conditions.
•
The driver should be familiar with all of
the information in this article regarding
Pilot Assist, including its limitations.
•
Pilot Assist is not intended to replace the
driver's attention and judgement.
•
Pilot Assist must only be used where
there are clearly visible traffic lane side
marker lines on both sides of the current
traffic lane. In other circumstances there
is an increased risk of collision with sur-
rounding obstacles that are not detected
by the system.
•
The driver is always responsible for steer-
ing the vehicle and maintaining a suitable
speed and distance to the vehicle ahead
and must intervene if necessary, even if
Pilot Assist is being used.
Pilot Assist is designed to regulate speed
smoothly but in situations calling for fast braking,
the driver must apply the brakes. This applies to
situations where there are considerable differen-
ces in speed or if the vehicle ahead brakes sud-
denly. Due to the limitations of the camera and
radar sensor, the system may apply the brakes in
your vehicle suddenly or not at all.
•
The default speed for Pilot Assist is preset to
approx. 30 mph (50 km/h) and cannot be
changed. If the vehicle ahead increases
speed to over 30 mph (50 km/h) and pulls
away from your vehicle, Pilot Assist will go
into standby mode.
NOTE
•
Pilot Assist maintenance should only be
carried out by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
•
Pilot Assist regulates your vehicle's
speed using the accelerator pedal and
the brakes. Please be aware that there
may be a faint sound from the brakes
when the system is using them.
WARNING
•
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance
system. The driver must react if the sys-
tem does not detect another vehicle.
•
Pilot Assist does not react to people, ani-
mals, stationary objects, small vehicles
(such as bicycles and motorcycles), low
trailers and slow moving, parked or
approaching vehicles.
•
Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding
driving conditions such as city driving or
other heavy traffic situations, in slippery
conditions, when there is a great deal of
water or slush on the road, during heavy
rain or snow, in poor visibility, on winding
roads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
