is clear again the car returns to the selected

WARNING
The Adaptive cruise control is an aid, which
cannot handle all traffic, weather and road
conditions.
The driver must always be observant with
regard to the prevailing traffic conditions and
intervene if the Adaptive cruise control does
not maintain a suitable speed or suitable time
interval.
Read all the sections about the adaptive
cruise control in the owner's manual in order
to learn about its limitations, of which the
driver should be aware before the function is
used.
The driver always bears responsibility for
maintaining the correct time interval and
speed - even when the Adaptive cruise con-
trol is being used.
Adaptive cruise control regulates the speed with
acceleration and braking. It is normal for the
brakes to emit a low sound when they are being
used to adjust the speed.
The adaptive cruise control aims to control the
speed in a smooth way. In situations that demand
sudden braking the driver must brake himself/
herself. This applies in case of large speed differ-
ences or if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly.
Due to the limitations of the radar unit, braking
may come unexpectedly or not at all.
The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the
vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval
set by the driver. If the radar unit cannot see any
vehicle in front then the car will instead maintain
the speed set and stored by the driver. This also
takes place if the speed of the vehicle ahead
increases and exceeds the stored speed.
The following applies for cars with automatic
gearbox:
•
Adaptive cruise control can follow another
vehicle at speed from 0 km/h up to
200 km/h (125 mph).
The following applies for cars with manual gear-
box:
•
The Adaptive cruise control can follow
another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h
(20 mph) up to 200 km/h (125 mph).
DRIVER SUPPORT
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoid-
ance system. The driver must intervene if the
system does not detect a vehicle in front.
The adaptive cruise control does not brake for
humans or animals, and not for small vehicles
such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for low
trailers, oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles
and objects.
Do not use the Adaptive cruise control, for
example, in city traffic, at junctions, on slippery
surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the
road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on
winding roads or on slip roads.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of adaptive cruise control com-
ponents must only be performed at a work-
shop - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
