Adaptive cruise control - ACC
*
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive
Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an
even speed combined with a pre-selected time
interval to the vehicle ahead.
The adaptive cruise control provides a more
relaxing driving experience on long journeys on
motorways and long straight main roads in
smooth traffic flows.
The driver sets the desired speed (p. 201) and
time interval (p. 203) to the car in front. When
the radar detector detects a slower vehicle in
front of the car, the speed is automatically adap-
ted to that. When the road is clear again the car
returns to the selected speed.
If the adaptive cruise control is switched off or
set to standby mode (p. 203) and the car comes
too close to a vehicle in front, then the driver is
warned instead by the Distance Warning (p. 195)
function about the short distance.
WARNING
The driver must always be observant with
regard to the traffic conditions and intervene
when the adaptive cruise control is not main-
taining a suitable speed or suitable distance.
The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all
traffic, weather and road conditions.
Read all the sections about the adaptive
cruise control in the owner's manual in order
to learn about its limitations, of which the
driver should be aware before it is used.
The driver always bears responsibility for
maintaining the correct distance and speed,
even when the adaptive cruise control is
being used.
Maintenance of adaptive cruise control com-
ponents must only be performed at a work-
shop - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
For a limited time after the service, the ACC
function can have a somewhat limited range.
The system is calibrated whilst driving and full
function returns automatically.
Automatic gearbox
Cars with automatic gearbox have enhanced
functionality with the adaptive cruise control's
Queue assistance (p. 205) function.
