Adaptive Cruise Control* - Set Time Interval - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

At the same time a speed
range is marked:
•
the higher speed with GREEN marking is
the pre-programmed speed
•
the lower speed is the speed of the vehi-
cle in front.
Changing the stored speed
Stored speed is changed with short or long
presses on the or button.
To adjust +/- 5 km/h:
•
Use short presses - each press gives
+/- 5 km/h.
To adjust +/- 1 km/h:
•
Hold the button depressed and release
when the combined instrument panel's
mark is by the desired speed.
Last press made is stored in the memory.
If speed is increased using the accelerator
pedal prior to pressing the /
then it is the car's current speed when the
button is pressed that is stored.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the setting - the car returns to the last
stored speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
NOTE
If any of the adaptive cruise control but-
tons are held depressed for several
minutes then the function is blocked and
deactivated. To be able to reactivate it, the
car must be stopped and the engine
restarted.
In certain situations it cannot be reactiva-
ted - in which case, the combined instru-
ment panel (p. 207) shows
cruise control unavailable

To set/change the time distance:
.
•
Turn the thumbwheel on the steering
wheel keypad (p. 197) (or use the
buttons for cars without Speed limiter).
At low speed, when the distances are short,
the adaptive cruise control increases the time
interval slightly.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time
interval to vary noticeably in certain situations
in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle
in front smoothly and comfortably.
Note that a short time interval only allows the
driver a short time to react and take action if
any unforeseen traffic problem should arise.
The same symbol is also shown when Dis-
tance Warning (p. 209) function is activated.
