For ECC* the temperature for the driver's side and the passen- ger side can be set sepa- rately. When the car is started, the most recent setting is resumed. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure NOTE Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by selecting a higher/lower temperature than the actual temperature required. AC – Air conditioning on/off When the lamp in the AC but- ton illuminates, the air condi- tioning is controlled by the system's automatic function. This way, incoming air is cooled and dehumidified. When the lamp in the AC button is switched off the air conditioning is disconnected. Other functions are still controlled automatically. When the max. defroster function is activated the air conditioning is switched on automati- cally, so that the air is dehumidified at the maxi- mum setting. Max. defroster Used to quickly remove mist- ing and ice from the wind- screen and side windows. Air flowing to the windows. The light in the defroster button illuminates when the function is active. The following also takes place in order to pro- vide maximum dehumidification in the passen- ger compartment: • the air conditioning is automatically engaged • recirculation and the air quality system are automatically disengaged. NOTE The noise level increases as the fan is oper- ating at max. When the defroster is switched off the climate control returns to the previous settings. Recirculation Recirculation When recirculation is engaged the orange lamp in the button illuminates. The function is selected to shut out bad air, exhaust gases etc. from the passenger com- partment. The air in the pas- senger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air is taken into the car when this func- tion is activated. Climate control IMPORTANT If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of misting on the insides of the windows. Timer With the timer function activated the system will exit manually activated recirculation mode according to a time that depends on the out- side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice, misting and bad air. Activate/deactivate the function in the menu system MY CAR under Settings Recirculation timer. For a description of the menu system, see page 142. Climate settings NOTE When max. defroster is selected, recircula- tion is always deactivated. Air quality system IAQS* The air quality system separates gases and particles to reduce the levels of odours and pollution in the passenger compartment.

Two different times can be selected using the timer. Here, time refers to the time when the car is heated and ready. The car's electronic sys- tem calculates when heating should be started based on the outside temperature. The heater cannot start if the outside tempera- ture exceeds 15 °C. At –5 °C or lower the maximum running time of the parking heater is 50 minutes. WARNING The car must be outdoors when the parking heater is used. NOTE When the parking heater is active there may be smoke from the right-hand wheel hous- ing, which is perfectly normal. Warning label on fuel filler flap. WARNING Fuel which spills out can be ignited. Switch off the fuel-driven heater before starting to refuel. Check the information display to see that the parking heater is switched off. When it is running, the information display shows Park heat ON. Parking on a hill If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of the car should point downhill to ensure that there is a supply of fuel to the parking heater. 158 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. Battery and fuel If the battery has insufficient charge or the fuel level is too low, the parking heater will be switched off automatically and a message appears on the information display. Acknowl- edge the message by pressing the indicator stalk READ button once, see page 159. IMPORTANT Repeated use of the parking heater com- bined with short journeys may discharge the battery and impair starting. The car should be driven for the same time as the heater is used to ensure that the car's battery is recharged adequately to replace the energy consumed by the heater when it is used on a regular basis. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Fuel-driven engine block heater and passenger compartment heater* Operation NOTE 2 - Figure 2 in the symbol means the second climate control system in the car, where the normal climate control system is the first.

The activation of the system during braking may be noticed as a throbbing sound. The car may accelerate slower than expected when the accelerator pedal is depressed. Involuntary wheel locking while driving can, amongst other things, impair the driver's ability to steer the car. Corner Traction Control – CTC CTC compensates for understeer and allows higher than normal acceleration in a bend with- out wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. on an arcing motorway entrance road to quickly reach the prevailing traffic speed. 04 Active Yaw Control The function limits the driving and brake force of the wheels individually in order to stabilise the car. Trailer Stability Assist* - TSA The function serves to stabilise the car and trailer combination if it begins to snake, see page 283. Spin Control The function prevents the driving wheels from spinning against the road surface during accel- eration. Traction control system The function is active at low speed and trans- fers power from the driving wheel that is spin- ning to the one that is not. Engine drag control - EDC EDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun- tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or engine braking when driving in low gears on slippery road surfaces. NOTE The function is deactivated if the driver selects Sport mode. Operation Selection of level - Sport mode The DSTC system is always activated - it can- not be deactivated. However, the driver can select the Sport mode, which allows for a more active driving experi- ence. In Sport mode the system detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel movements and cornering are more active than 164 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. in normal driving and then allows controlled skidding with the rear section up to a certain level before it intervenes and stabilises the car. If the driver stops a controlled skid by releasing the accelerator pedal then the DSTC system intervenes and stabilises the car. With Sport mode, maximum traction is obtained if the car has become stuck, or when driving on a loose surface - e.g. sand or deep snow. Proceed as follows to select Sport mode: 1. Press the centre console button MY CAR and search in the display screen's menu system and locate My S60 DSTC. (For information on the menu system, see page 142). 2. Uncheck the symbol and back out of the menu system. > The system then allows a more sporty driving style. The Sport mode is active until the driver dese- lects it or until the engine is switched off - after the engine is started the next time the DSTC system is back in its normal mode again. Messages in the information display DSTC Temporarily OFF means that the sys- tem has been temporarily reduced due to excessive temperature in the brake discs. ± The function is reactivated automatically when the brakes have cooled. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure DSTC – Stability and traction control system DSTC Service required system disabled due to a fault. ± Stop the car in a safe place and turn off the engine. > If the message remains when the engine is restarted, drive to a workshop.

There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced. Comfort This setting means that the car is perceived as being more comfortable on rough and uneven road surfaces. Shock absorption is soft and the movement of the body is smooth and gentle. Sport This setting means that the car is perceived as being more sporty and is recommended for more active driving. Steering response is faster than in the Comfort mode. Shock absorption is harder and the body follows the road in order to reduce rolling during cornering. Advanced This setting is only recommended on very even and smooth road surfaces. The shock absorbers are optimised for maxi- mum roadholding and rolling in bends is further minimised. Operation Steering wheel force and select Low, Medium or High. For a description of the menu system, see page 142. This menu cannot be accessed while the car is in motion. Chassis settings. Use the buttons in the centre console to change setting. The setting in use when the engine is switched off is activated next time the engine is started. Speed related power steering* Steering force increases with the speed of the car to give the driver enhanced sensitivity. The steering is firmer and more immediate on motorways. Steering is light and requires no extra effort when parking and at low speed. The driver can choose between three different levels of steering force for road responsiveness or steering sensitivity.

The selected and stored speed are thus deleted from the memory and cannot be resumed with the button. 04 170 General information on ACC The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. It provides a more relaxing driving experience on long jour- neys on motorways and long straight main roads in smooth traffic flows. The driver sets the desired speed and time interval to the car in front. When the radar detector detects a slower vehicle in front of the car, the speed is automatically adapted 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 the standby mode and the car comes too close to a vehicle in front, then the driver is warned by Distance Alert (see page 181) about the short distance. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive cruise control* WARNING Function The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and intervene when the adaptive cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed or suitable dis- tance. The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. The Function section and onwards informs about limitations of which the driver should be aware before using the adaptive cruise control. The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when the adaptive cruise control is being used. IMPORTANT Maintenance of adaptive cruise control components must only be performed at a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. Automatic gearbox The adaptive cruise control has enhanced functionality (Queue Assist) on cars with auto- matic gearbox, see page 175. Functions overview. Warning lamp, braking by driver required Steering wheel keypad Radar sensor Adaptive cruise control consists of a cruise control system and a coordinated spacing sys- tem. 04 `` * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 171 04 Comfort and driving pleasure 04 Adaptive cruise control* WARNING Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must inter- vene if the system does not detect a vehicle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehi- cles and objects. Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/ snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on slip roads. The distance to the vehicle ahead is mainly measured by a radar sensor. Cruise control regulates the speed with acceleration and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a low sound when they are being used by cruise con- trol. WARNING The brake pedal moves when the cruise control brakes. Do not rest your foot under the brake pedal as it could become trapped. The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval set by the driver. If the radar sensor cannot see any vehicle in front then the car will instead maintain the cruise control's set speed. This also happens if the speed of the vehicle in front exceeds the cruise control's set speed. The cruise control aims to control the speed in a smooth way. In situations that demand sud- den braking the driver must brake himself/her- self. This applies with large differences in speed, or if the vehicle in front brakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may come unexpectedly or not at all, see page 177. The adaptive cruise control can be activated to follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h1 up to 200 km/h. If the speed falls below 30 km/h or if the engine speed becomes too low, the cruise control is set in standby mode at which automatic braking ceases - the driver must then take over himself/herself to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead. Warning lamp - braking by driver required Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to more than 40% of the car's braking capacity. If the car needs to be braked more heavily than cruise control capacity and the driver does not brake, then the cruise control uses the collision warning system's warning lamp and warning sound (see page 189) to alert the driver that immediate intervention is required. NOTE The warning lamp may be difficult to notice in strong sunlight or when sunglasses are being worn. WARNING Cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor. Consequently there may be no warning or it may be sub- ject to a delay. Do not wait for a warning but brake when it is necessary. Steep roads and/or heavy load Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving on level road surfaces. The cruise control may have dif- ficultly in keeping the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when driving on steep roads, with a heavy load or with a trailer - in which case, be extra attentive and ready to slow down. 1 Cars with automatic gearbox ("Queue Assist") can operate in the range of 0-200 km/h, see page 175. 172 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

The engine must be switched off in order to reset cruise control. In certain situations, cruise control cannot be activated. Then the display shows Cruise control Unavailable, see page 179. 04 Set time interval Different time intervals to the vehicle in front can be selected and shown in the display as 1-5 horizontal lines - the more lines the longer the time distance. One line corre- sponds to approximately 1 second, 5 lines approximately 2.5 seconds. The time interval is increased or decreased with the steering wheel keypad's thumbwheel (or the buttons for cars without Speed limiter). At low speed, when the distances are short, the adaptive cruise control increases the time interval slightly. The adaptive cruise control allows the time interval to vary noticeably in certain situations in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle in front smoothly and comfortably. Note that a short time interval only allows the driver a short time to react and take action if any unforeseen traffic problem should arise. The number of lines for the selected time interval is shown during the setting itself and for several seconds after- wards. Then a smaller scale version of the symbol is shown to the right of the dis- play. The same symbol is also shown when Distance Alert is activated, see page 181. NOTE Only use the time interval that is allowed in accordance with local traffic regulations. If cruise control does not seem to react to activation the reason may be that the time interval to the closest vehicle prevents an increase in speed. The higher the speed, the longer the calcu- lated distance in metres for a specific time interval. Temporary deactivation - standby mode Press the steering wheel button to tempo- rarily disengage the cruise control and set it in standby mode - set speed is shown in brackets in the display, e.g. (100). Keypad without Speed limiter Press the steering wheel button rarily disengage cruise control and set it in standby mode. to tempo- Standby mode due to driver intervention Cruise control is temporarily disengaged and set in standby mode if: • the foot brake is used • the clutch pedal is depressed for longer than 1 minute4 • the gear selector is moved to N position (automatic gearbox) • the driver maintains a speed higher than the set speed for longer than 1 minute The driver must then regulate the speed. A temporary increase in speed with the accel- erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the cruise control setting - the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released. 4 Disengaging and selecting a higher or lower gear does not involve standby mode. 174 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. Automatic standby mode Adaptive cruise control is dependent on other systems e.g. stability and traction control (DSTC). If any of these systems stop working then cruise control is automatically deacti- vated. In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message Cruise control Cancelled is shown in the display. The driver must then intervene and adapt the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. An automatic deactivation can be due to: • engine speed is too low/high • speed falls below 30 km/h5 • wheels lose traction • brake temperature is high • the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked). Resume set speed Cruise control in standby mode is re-activated with one press on the steering wheel button - the speed is then set to the last stored speed. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive cruise control* NOTE The following functions are available: A significant increase in speed may arise after the speed has been resumed with Extended speed range Deactivate The cruise control is switched off with the steering wheel button . The set speed is cleared and cannot be resumed with the button. Keypad without Speed limiter The cruise control is switched off with the steering wheel button with one long press in active mode. The set speed is cleared and cannot be resumed with the in standby mode or button. Queue Assist ACC and automatic gearbox* In cars with automatic gearbox the adaptive cruise control has more functions than in cars with manual gearbox. Note that the lowest programmable speed for the cruise control is 30 km/h - even though the cruise control is capable of following another vehicle down to a standstill, a lower speed cannot be selected. NOTE In order to activate the cruise control the driver's door must be closed and the driver must be wearing the seatbelt. • With the automatic gearbox the cruise con- trol can follow another vehicle within the range of 0-200 km/h - right down to sta- tionary and up to 200 km/h. 04 NOTE Activation of the cruise control below 30 km/h requires a vehicle in front within a reasonable distance. For shorter stops in connection with inching in slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is auto- matically resumed if the stops do not exceed about 3 seconds - if it takes longer before the car in front starts moving again then the cruise control is set in standby mode. The driver must then re-activate the cruise control in one of the following ways: • Press the steering wheel button 5 Does not apply to cars with automatic gearbox ("Queue Assist") - they manage right down to stationary. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 175 `` 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive cruise control* or • Press the accelerator pedal and accelerate up to at least about 4 km/h (normal walking pace). The cruise control will then resume following the vehicle in front. NOTE The cruise control can hold the car station- ary for a maximum of 2 minutes - then the parking brake is applied and the cruise con- trol is disengaged. • The driver has to release the parking brake before the cruise control can be reactivated. Change of target 04 If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front. When the cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h and changes target from a moving to a stationary vehicle, the cruise control will slow down for the stationary vehicle. WARNING When the cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds in excess of 30 km/h and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the cruise control will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead select the stored speed. • The driver must intervene him/herself and brake. Automatic standby mode with change of target Cruise control is disengaged and set in standby mode: • when the speed is below 15 km/h and cruise control is not sure whether the target object is a stationary vehicle or some other object, e.g. a speed bump. • when the speed is below 15 km/h and the vehicle in front turns off so the cruise con- trol no longer has a vehicle to follow. Automatic braking ceases when stationary In certain situations the cruise control inter- rupts braking when stationary. This means that the foot brake is released and the driver must brake himself/herself. Cruise control releases the foot brake and is set in standby mode when: • the driver puts his/her foot on the brake pedal • the parking brake is applied • the gear selector is moved to P, N or R position • the driver sets the cruise control in standby mode. Automatic activation parking brake In some situations the cruise control applies the parking brake in order to keep a stationary car remaining stationary. This takes place if: • the driver opens the door or takes off his/ her seatbelt • DSTC is changed from Normal to Sport mode • cruise control has held the car stationary for more than 2 minutes • the engine is switched off • the brakes have overheated. 176 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. The radar sensor and its limitations Apart from the adaptive cruise control, the radar sensor is also used by the Collision Warning with Auto Brake function (see page 188) and the Distance Alert function (see page 181). The function of the radar sensor is to detect cars or larger vehicles in the same direction, in the same lane. Modification of the radar sensor could result in it being illegal to use. WARNING The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and intervene when the adaptive cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed or suitable dis- tance. The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. The Function section and onwards informs about limitations of which the driver should be aware before using the adaptive cruise control. The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when the adaptive cruise control is being used. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive cruise control* WARNING NOTE Keep the surface in front of the radar sensor clean. • if the speed of vehicles in front is signifi- cantly different from your own speed. Examples where the cruise control does not work optimally The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations another vehicle is not detected, or the detection is made later than expected. 04 Accessories or other objects such as auxil- iary lamps must not be installed in front of the grille. WARNING Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must inter- vene if the system does not detect a vehicle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehi- cles and objects. Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/ snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on slip roads. The capacity of the radar sensor to detect vehi- cles in front is reduced significantly: • if the radar sensor becomes blocked and cannot detect other vehicles e.g. in heavy rain or slush, or if other objects have col- lected in front of the radar sensor. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 177 `` 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive cruise control* Sometimes the radar sensor is late at detecting vehicles at close distances, e.g. a vehicle that drives in between the car and vehicles in front. Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles not driving in the centre of the lane can remain undetected. In bends the radar sensor may detect the wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehicle from view. Fault tracing and action If the display shows the message Radar blocked See manual this means that the radar signals from the radar sensor are blocked and that vehicles in front of the car could not be detected. In turn this means that the Adaptive Cruise Control, Distance Alert and Collision Warning with Auto Brake functions are not operating either. 04 The ACC cannot see small vehicles (Dark triangle: ACC field of vision). The following table presents possible causes for a message being shown along with the appropriate action. Cause Action The radar surface in the grille is dirty or covered with ice or snow. Clean the radar surface in the grille from dirt, ice and snow. Heavy rain or snow blocking the radar signals. No action. Sometimes the radar does not work during heavy rain or snowfall. 178 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive cruise control* Cause Action Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the radar sig- nals. No action. Sometimes the radar does not work on a very wet or snowy road surface. The radar surface has been cleaned but the message remains. Wait. It could take several minutes for the radar to sense that it is no longer blocked. Symbols and messages in the display Symbol Message Specification Standby mode or active mode without detected vehicle. Active mode with detected vehicle to which cruise control adapts the speed.

Cruise control Service required Cruise control not working. • Contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. 04 Press Brake To hold + acoustic alarm – Below 30 km/h Only fol- lowing (Only cars with automatic gearbox - "Queue Assist") The car is stationary and the cruise control will release the foot brake to allow the parking brake to take over and hold the car, but a fault in the parking brake means the car will shortly begin to roll. • The driver must brake himself/herself. The message remains and the alarm sounds until the driver depresses the brake pedal or uses the accelerator pedal. (Only cars with automatic gearbox - "Queue Assist") Shown with attempts to activate the cruise control at speeds below 30 km/h without a vehicle in front within the activation distance (approx. 30 metres). 180 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure General Distance Alert is a function that informs the driver about the time interval to vehicles in front. Distance alert is active at speeds above 30 km/h and only reacts to vehicles driving in front of the car, in the same direction. No dis- tance information is provided for oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles. NOTE Distance Alert is deactivated during the time that Adaptive Cruise Control is active. WARNING Distance Alert only reacts if the distance to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset value - the speed of the driver's vehicle is not affected. Operation Yellow warning light. A yellow warning lamp in the windscreen illu- minates with a constant glow if the distance to the vehicle in front is shorter than the set time interval. Press the button in the centre console to switch the function on or off. The function is switched on if one lamp is illuminated in the button. Some combinations of the selected equipment leave no vacant space for a button in the centre Distance Alert* console - in which case the function is handled by the car's menu system MY CAR under SETUP Distance Alert On/Off. For a description of the menu system - see page 142.) Car settings Set time interval Controls and display for time interval. Time interval - Increase/decrease Time interval - On, during adjustment Time interval - On, after adjustment Time interval is adjusted with button (4) - Press up to increase, down decreases. 04 `` * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 181 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Distance Alert* Different time intervals to the vehicle in front can be selected and shown in the display as 1-5 horizontal lines - the more lines the longer the time interval. One line corre- sponds to approximately 1 second to the vehicle in front, 5 lines approx- imately 2.5 seconds. The number of lines for the selected time interval is shown during the setting itself and for several seconds after- wards. Then a smaller scale version of the symbol is shown to the right of the dis- play. The same symbol is also shown when adaptive cruise control is activated. 04 NOTE The higher the speed, the longer the calcu- lated distance in metres for a specific time interval. The set time interval is also used by the adaptive cruise control function, see page 173. Only use the time interval that is allowed in accordance with local traffic regulations. Limitations The function uses the same radar sensor as adaptive cruise control and the collision warn- ing system. For more information on the radar sensor and its limitations, see page 177. NOTE Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia- tions in light intensity, as well as wearing sunglasses, could mean that the warning light in the windscreen cannot be seen. Poor weather or winding roads could affect the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi- cles in front. The size of other vehicles could also affect detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. This could mean that the warning lamp illumi- nates at a shorter distance than the setting or that the warning is temporarily absent. Extremely high speeds can also cause the lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance than that set due to limitations in sensor range.
