Setting The Time Interval For Pilot Assist - Volvo XC 90 Owner's Manual

DRIVER SUPPORT
Setting the time interval for Pilot
Assist*
Pilot Assist can be set with different time inter-
vals.
Different time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be selected
and shown in the driver display
as 1-5 horizontal lines - the
more lines the longer the time
interval. One line represents
about 1 second to the vehicle
in front, 5 lines represents about 3 seconds.
The same symbol is also shown when the Dis-
tance Warning function is activated.

Control for time interval.
Decrease time interval
Increase time interval
Distance indicator
– Press the steering wheel button (1) or (2) to
increase or decrease the time interval.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the cur-
rent time interval.
In order to follow the preceding car in a smooth
and comfortable way Pilot Assist allows the time
interval to noticeably vary. At low speed when the
distance becomes short, Pilot Assist increases
the time interval slightly.
Note that a short time interval only allows the
driver a short time to react and take action if any
unforeseen problem should arise.
NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by local
traffic regulations.
If Pilot Assist does not appear to react when
activated, this may be because the time dis-
tance to the vehicle in front is preventing an
increase in speed.
The higher the speed the longer the calcula-
ted distance in metres for a given time inter-
val.
