DRIVER SUPPORT
||
When the road is clear again the car returns to
the selected speed.
The adaptive cruise control aims to:
regulate the speed smoothly. In situations
•
that demand sudden braking the driver
must brake himself/herself. This applies in
cases of large speed differences or if the
vehicle in front brakes suddenly. Due to
the limitations of the radar unit, braking
may come unexpectedly or not at all.
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.

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver
•
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-
•
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
Driver support functions are not a sub-
•
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of driver support components
must only be performed at a workshop –
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
