Radar sensor's field of vision (shown in pink)
In certain situations, the radar sensor
cannot detect vehicles at close quarters,
for example a vehicle that suddenly
enters the lane between your vehicle and
the target vehicle.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles not driving in the center of the
lane may remain undetected.
In curves, the radar sensor may detect
the wrong vehicle or lose sight of the tar-
get vehicle.
WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover
all driving situations and traffic,
weather and road conditions. The
"Function" section provides informa-
tion about limitations that the driver
must be aware of before using this
feature.
•
This system is designed to be a sup-
plementary driving aid. It is not, how-
ever, intended to replace the driver's
attention and judgement. The driver is
responsible for maintaining a safe dis-
tance and speed and must intervene if
Adaptive Cruise Control does not
maintain a suitable speed or suitable
distance to the vehicle ahead.
•
Maintenance of ACC components may
only be performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo technician.
WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a colli-
sion avoidance system. The driver is
always responsible for applying the
brakes if the system does not detect
another vehicle.
•
Adaptive Cruise Control does not react
to people or animals, or small vehicles
such as bicycles and motorcycles. It
also does not react to slow moving,
parked or approaching vehicles, or
stationary objects.
•
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control in
demanding driving conditions such as
city driving or other heavy traffic situa-
tions, in slippery conditions, when
there is a great deal of water or slush
on the road, during heavy rain or
snow, in poor visibility, on winding
roads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
