Setting The Time Interval For The Adaptive Cruise Control - Volvo S90 Owner's Manual

DRIVER SUPPORT
||
If the driver increases the car's speed using the
accelerator pedal before pressing the steering
wheel button , the speed stored will be the
car's speed when the button is depressed, provi-
ded the driver's foot is on the accelerator pedal at
the moment when the button is depressed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect
the setting - the car returns to the last stored
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Adaptive cruise control can follow another vehicle
at speed from 0 km/h up to 200 km/h
(125 mph).
Note that the lowest programmable speed for the
adaptive cruise control is 30 km/h (20 mph) -
even though it is capable of following another
vehicle down to 0 km/h, a speed lower than
30 km/h (20 mph) cannot be selected/stored.
Maximum speed selectable is 200 km/h
(125 mph).

Setting the time interval for the
adaptive cruise control*
The adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise
Control -ACC) can be set to 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.
NOTE
When the symbol in the driver display shows
two cars, ACC is following the vehicle in front
at a pre-set time interval.
When only one car is shown, there is no vehi-
cle within a reasonable distance ahead.
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.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time inter-
val to vary significantly in certain situations in
order to allow the car to follow the vehicle in front
smoothly and comfortably. At low speed, when
the distances are short, the adaptive cruise con-
trol 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.
