Adaptive Cruise Control 197; General - Volvo FM Handbook

General

ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control, adaptive cruise
control) is an extension of the cruise control that
allows automatic speed/distance adjustment, based on
the vehicle in front of the truck.
ACC should primarily be used in open road situations.
Avoid use in heavy traffic and on long down hill
inclines when catching up slow moving vehicles.

Note!
ACC does not replace the driver!
The driver has the final
responsibility for ensuring that a safe
distance is maintained to the vehicle
in front.
Note!
Do not fit anything in front of the
sensor (for example. spotlights). The
sensor will not function.
Do not use ACC in hilly terrain,
heavy traffic or on slippery
surfaces.
ACC can have difficulty
identifying vehicles that are
displaced sideways, so the
vehicle may brake unexpectedly
when overtaking. It is therefore
recommend to use the accelerator
to manually increase speed when
overtaking, or to disengage ACC.
