WARNING
•
Pilot Assist is designed to be a supple-
mentary driving aid and cannot cover all
driving situations, traffic, weather and/or
road conditions.
•
The driver should be familiar with all of
the information in this article regarding
Pilot Assist, including its limitations.
•
Pilot Assist is not intended to replace the
driver's attention and judgement.
•
Pilot Assist must only be used where
there are clearly visible traffic lane side
marker lines on both sides of the current
traffic lane. In other circumstances there
is an increased risk of collision with sur-
rounding obstacles that are not detected
by the system.
•
The driver is always responsible for steer-
ing the vehicle and maintaining a suitable
speed and distance to the vehicle ahead
and must intervene if necessary, even if
Pilot Assist is being used.
Pilot Assist is designed to regulate speed
smoothly but in situations calling for fast braking,
the driver must apply the brakes. This applies to
situations where there are considerable differen-
ces in speed or if the vehicle ahead brakes sud-
denly. Due to the limitations of the camera and
radar sensor, the system may apply the brakes in
your vehicle suddenly or not at all.
The default speed for Pilot Assist is preset to
approx. 30 mph (50 km/h) and cannot be
changed. If the vehicle ahead increases speed to
over 30 mph (50 km/h) and pulls away from your
vehicle, Pilot Assist will go into standby mode.
NOTE
•
Pilot Assist maintenance should only be
carried out by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
•
Pilot Assist regulates your vehicle's
speed using the accelerator pedal and
the brakes. Please be aware that there
may be a faint sound from the brakes
when the system is using them.
WARNING
•
Pilot Assist does not react to people or
animals, or small vehicles such as bicy-
cles and motorcycles. It also does not
react to low trailers, slow moving, parked
or approaching vehicles, or stationary
objects.
•
Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding
driving conditions such as city driving or
other heavy traffic situations, 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.
