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 attempts 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 differences in
speed or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
Due to the limitations of the camera and radar
sensor, the system may apply the brakes in your
vehicle suddenly or not at all.
Pilot Assist is designed to follow a vehicle ahead
in the same traffic lane at a preset time interval
set by the driver. If the radar sensor does not
detect a vehicle ahead, the vehicle will instead
maintain the speed set by the driver. This will also
be the case if a vehicle ahead accelerates and
exceeds the set speed.
•
Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle from a
standstill up to a speed of approx. 125 mph
(200 km/h)
•
Pilot Assist can provide steering assistance
from very low speeds up to approx. 87 mph
(140 km/h).
Never exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
•
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance
system. The driver must react if the sys-
tem does not detect another vehicle.
•
Pilot Assist does not react to people, ani-
mals, stationary objects, small vehicles
(such as bicycles and motorcycles), low
trailers and slow moving, parked or
approaching vehicles.
•
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.
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.
