Volvo XC90 TWIN ENGINE 2018 Owner's Manual page 307

The driver is responsible for ensuring that
the vehicle maintains a suitable distance
from such obstacles.
• The camera and radar sensors do not
have the capacity to detect all oncoming
objects and obstacles in traffic environ-
ments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstacles
or objects that completely or partially
block the route.
• Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,
animals, etc.
• The recommended steering input is lim-
ited in force, which means that it cannot
always help the driver to steer and keep
the vehicle within the lane.
• In vehicles equipped with Sensus
Navigation*, the function is able to use
information from map data, which could
cause variations in performance.
• Pilot Assist will be switched off if the
speed-dependent power steering wheel
resistance is working at reduced power,
e.g. during cooling due to overheating.
The driver can always correct or adjust steering
assistance provided by Pilot Assist by turning the
steering wheel to the desired position.
Steep roads and/or heavy loads
Pilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven on
flat roads. The function may not be able to main-
tain the correct time interval to the vehicle ahead
when driving down steep hills. The driver should
be extra attentive and prepared to apply the
brakes.
• Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carry-
ing a heavy load or towing a trailer.
NOTE
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer,
bike carrier or similar is connected to the
vehicle electrical system.
Other limitations
Off Road
•
The drive mode cannot be
selected when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and
radar sensor, which has certain general limita-
tions.
