Deactivating/Activating The Adaptive - Volvo XC 90 Owner's Manual

Deactivating/activating the Adaptive

cruise control*
The Adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise
Control - ACC) can be temporarily deactivated
so that it is set in the standby mode and can
later be reactivated.
If the adaptive cruise control is set to the standby
mode and the car comes too close to a vehicle in
front, then the driver is warned instead by the
Distance warning function about the short dis-
tance.
Buttons and symbols for functions.
Deactivate Adaptive Cruise Control and
set it in standby mode
To temporarily switch off Adaptive Cruise Control
and set it in standby mode:
–
Press the steering wheel button
> The
symbol on the driver display
changes colour from WHITE to GREY and
the stored speed in the centre of the
speedometer changes from BEIGE to
GREY.
Standby mode on driver intervention
The Adaptive cruise control is temporarily deacti-
vated and set in standby mode if:
•
the foot brake is used
•
the gear selector is moved to N position
•
the driver maintains a speed higher than the
stored speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then control the speed himself/
herself.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect
the setting - the car returns to the last stored
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive Cruise Control is dependent on other
systems, such as Electronic Stability Control. If
any of these systems ceases to function then the
adaptive cruise control is disengaged automati-
cally.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will
sound and a message is shown in the driver dis-
play. The driver must then intervene and adapt
the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
Automatic deactivation may occur if:
(2).
•
the speed is below 5 km/h and ACC is
uncertain whether the vehicle ahead is a sta-
tionary vehicle or an object, such as a speed
bump.
•
the speed is below 5 km/h and the vehicle in
front turns off so that ACC no longer has a
vehicle to follow.
•
the driver opens the door
•
the driver takes off the seatbelt
•
engine speed is too low/high
•
wheels lose traction
•
brake temperature is high
•
the parking brake is applied
•
the radar unit is covered for example by wet
snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).
Reactivating cruise control from standby
mode
–
Press the steering wheel button
> The speed is then set to the most recently
stored speed.
