Passing Assistance With Adaptive - Volvo XC90 Owner's Manual

Passing Assistance with Adaptive

Cruise Control or Pilot Assist
ACC or Pilot Assist can assist the driver when
passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance works
When ACC or Pilot Assist is following another
vehicle and the driver indicates that he/she is
about to pass that vehicle by using the left turn
signal, ACC or Pilot Assist will begin accelerating
toward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle has
moved into the passing lane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction to
avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches
the slower-moving vehicle.
The function is active until your vehicle has
passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Be aware that this function may be activated
in situations other than when passing a vehi-
cle, such as if the turn signal is used to indi-
cate a lane change or to indicate a turn. The
vehicle will accelerate briefly.
Using passing assistance
To activate passing assistance:
•
Your vehicle (ACC or Pilot Assist) must be
following another vehicle (the target vehicle).
•
Current speed must be at least approx.
45 mph (70 km/h ).
•
The speed set for ACC or Pilot Assist must
be high enough to safely pass the vehicle
ahead.
Starting passing assistance
To start a passing assistance sequence:
•
Activate the left turn signal.
Passing assistance limitations
WARNING
The driver should be prepared for sudden
changes when passing assistance is used. In
certain cases, there may be undesired accel-
eration.
Certain situations should be avoided, such as:
•
If the vehicle is approaching an exit to the
left or a left turn.
•
If the vehicle ahead slows down before
your vehicle has moved into the passing
lane.
•
Traffic in the passing lane slows down.
Passing assistance in these situations can be
deactivated by putting ACC or Pilot Assist in
standby mode.

DRIVER SUPPORT
Changing target vehicles and
automatic braking with Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC)
At certain speeds, Adaptive Cruise Control can
change target vehicles and automatically apply
the brakes.
Changing target vehicles
If the target vehicle turns suddenly, there may be a sta-
tionary vehicle ahead
When ACC is actively following another vehicle at
speeds under 20 mph (30 km/h) and changes
targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary one,
the system will brake for the stationary vehicle.
