vehicles ahead, the vehicle will return to the
set speed.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver
•
support intended to facilitate driving
and help make it safer – it cannot han-
dle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-
•
tions in the Owner's Manual about this
function to learn of its limitations,
which the driver must be aware of
before using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-
•
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgment. The driver is always respon-
sible for ensuring the vehicle is driven
in a safe manner, at the appropriate
speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.
Adaptive Cruise Control regulates speed by
accelerating and braking. It is normal for the
brakes to emit a slight sound when they are
being used to adjust speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts to
regulate speed smoothly. The driver must
apply the brakes in situations requiring imme-
diate braking. For example, when there are
great differences in speed between vehicles or
if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. Due to
limitations in the radar sensor, braking may
occur unexpectedly or not at all.
Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to follow
a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain
a time interval to that vehicle set by the driver.
If the radar sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead, it will instead maintain the speed set
by the driver. This will also happen if the speed
of the vehicle ahead exceeds the set speed for
your vehicle.
CAUTION
Only a workshop may perform mainte-
nance on driver support components – an
authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
