Alarm The alarm is a device that warns in the event of e.g. a break-in in the car.
Activated alarm is triggered if: • a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened
• a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement detector*)
• the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector*)
• the battery's cable is disconnected • the siren is disconnected. If there is a fault in the alarm system then the information display in the combined instru- ment panel shows a message. In which case, contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
06
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in the event of movement in the passenger compartment - air currents are also regis- tered. For this reason the alarm is trig- gered if the car is left with a window or the sunroof open or if the passenger compart- ment heater is used. To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof when leaving the car. If the car's inte- grated passenger compartment heater (or a portable electric heater) shall be used - direct the airflow from the air vents so that they are not pointing upwards in the pas- senger compartment. Alternatively, reduced alarm level can be used, see Reduced alarm level (p. 184).
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter compo- nents in the alarm system yourself. Any such attempts may affect the terms of the insurance.
Arming the alarm – Press the remote control key lock button.
Deactivate the alarm – Press the remote control key unlock but-
ton.

Operation
Control buttons. The required chassis setting is selected using the centre console buttons. The setting used when the engine was switched off is re-acti- vated when the engine is next started. The exception is Advanced - it is restarted as Sport.
Active chassis - Four C* Active chassis "Four-C" (Continously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the characteristics of the shock absorbers so that the car's driving characteristics can be adjusted. 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 corner- ing.
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 fur- ther minimised.

Electronic stability control (ESC) - general Stability system ESC (Electronic Stability Control) helps the driver to avoid skidding and improves the car's traction.
The activation of the ESC system during braking may be noticed as a throbbing sound. The car may accelerate slower than expected when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
WARNING
The stability system ESC is supplementary assistance - it cannot handle all situations in all road conditions. The driver always bears responsibility that the vehicle is driven safely and that appli- cable road traffic rules and regulations are followed.
The ESC system consists of the following functions: • Active Yaw Control • Spin Control • Traction control system • Engine drag control - EDC • Corner Traction Control - CTC • Trailer Stability Assist - TSA
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

187
07 Driver support || Active Yaw Control The function checks the driving and brake force of the wheels individually in order to stabilise the car.
Spin Control The function prevents the driving wheels from spinning against the road surface during acceleration.
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. Involuntary wheel locking while driving can, amongst other things, impair the driver's abil- ity to steer the car.
Corner Traction Control - CTC* CTC compensates for understeer and allows higher than normal acceleration in a bend without wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. on an arcing motorway entrance road to quickly reach the prevailing traffic speed.

Trailer Stability Assist* - TSA1
Trailer stability assist (p. 321) function is to
stabilise the car and trailer combination if it
begins to snake. For more information, see
Driving with a trailer* (p. 316).

Electronic stability control (ESC) - operation
Selection of level - Sport mode The ESC system is always activated - it can- not be deactivated.
However, the driver can select the Sport mode, which allows for a more active driving experience. Sport mode is selected in the menu system MY CAR.
For a description of the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 110). In Sport mode the system detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel move- ments and cornering are more active than 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, for example, the driver stops a controlled skid by releasing the accelerator pedal, then the ESC system intervenes and stabilises the car. With Sport mode, maximum traction is also obtained if the car has become stuck, or when driving on a loose surface - e.g. sand or deep snow.
1 Trailer Stability Assist is included in the installation of Volvo genuine towbar.

Road Sign Information (RSI)* The road sign information function (RSI – Road Sign Information) helps the driver to remember which speed-related road signs the car has passed.
Examples of readable speed related signs2. The RSI function gives information on current speed, e.g. that a motorway or road is star- ting/ending and when overtaking is prohibi- ted. If both a sign for motorway/road for motor- ised traffic and a sign showing the maximum permitted speed are passed, RSI decides to show the sign symbol for maximum permitted speed.
07
WARNING
RSI does not work in all situations but is designed merely as a supplementary aid. The driver always bears ultimate responsi- bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely and that applicable road traffic rules and regulations are followed.
Road sign information (RSI)* - operation The road sign information function (RSI – Road Sign Information) helps the driver to remember which speed-related road signs the car has passed. The function is operated as follows:
Related information • Road sign information (RSI)* - operation
(p. 192)
• Road sign information (RSI)* - limitations

Recorded speed information3. When RSI has recorded a road sign with an imposed speed, the combined instrument panel displays the sign as a symbol.
Together with the symbol for the current speed limit, a sign showing that overtaking is prohibited may also be displayed where appropriate.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Additional signs
End of restriction or motorway A corresponding road sign is shown in the combined instrument panel for approx. 10 seconds in situations where RSI detects a sign that involves the end of a speed limit - or other speed-related informa- tion, e.g. end of a motorway. Examples of such signs are:
End of all restrictions.
End of motorway. Following which, the sign information is hid- den until the next speed-related sign is detected.
Examples of additional signs3. Sometimes different speed limits are signpos- ted for the same road - an additional sign then indicates the circumstances under which the different speeds apply. The road section may be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain and/or fog, for example. An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use.
The speed applicable on an exit is indicated in certain markets by means of an additional sign containing an arrow. Speed signs linked to this type of additional sign are displayed only if the driver is using the direction indicator.
07 Driver support
Some speeds are applicable only after e.g. a specific distance or at a certain time of day. The driver's attention is drawn to the situation by means of a symbol for an additional sign under the symbol showing speed.
Display of additional information
A symbol for additional sign in the form of an empty frame under the combined instrument panel's speed symbol means that the RSI has detected an additional sign with supplemen- tary information for the current speed limit.
Setting in MY CAR There are options for RSI in the MY CAR menu system; see MY CAR (p. 110).

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. 204) and time interval (p. 205) to the car in front. When the radar detector detects a slower vehicle in front of the car, the speed is auto- matically 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 standby mode (p. 206) and the car comes too close to a vehicle in front, then the driver is warned instead by the Distance Warning (p. 215) function about the short distance.
WARNING
The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and inter- vene when the adaptive cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed or suita- ble 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 con- trol 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 Cars with automatic gearbox have enhanced functionality with the adaptive cruise control's Queue assistance (p. 208) function.

WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must inter- vene if the system does not detect a vehi- cle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcy- cles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles 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 (p. 205) is primarily measured by a radar sensor (p. 210). The cruise control function regulates the speed with acceleration and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a low sound when they are being used by the adaptive cruise control.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control brakes. Do not rest your foot beneath the brake pedal - it may then become trapped.
The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane according to what the driver set for time interval (p. 205). If the radar sensor cannot see any vehicle in front then the car will instead maintain the speed set and stored by the driver. This also takes place if the speed of the vehicle in front exceeds the stored speed. The adaptive cruise control aims to control the speed in a smooth way. In situations that demand sudden braking the driver must brake himself/herself. This applies with large differences in speed, or if the vehicle in front brakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radar sensor (p. 210) braking may come unexpect- edly or not at all. The adaptive cruise control can be activated to follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h6 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 (p. 206) at which automatic braking ceases - the driver must then take over himself/herself to maintain a safe dis- tance to the vehicle ahead.
Warning lamp - braking by driver required Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to approx. 40% of the car's braking capacity.
5 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may differ depending on car model. 6 Queue Assist (p. 208) (in cars with automatic gearbox) can operate in the range of 0-200 km/h.

WARNING
The adaptive cruise control only warns of vehicles which its radar sensor has detected - hence a warning may not be given, or it may be given with a certain delay. Do not wait for a warning without braking when so required.
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. It may have difficulty in keeping the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when driving on steep downhill slopes, with a heavy load or with a trailer - in which case, be extra attentive and ready to slow down.

1. Collision warning system warning lamp and warning sound7. If the car needs to be braked more heavily than the adaptive cruise control capacity and the driver does not brake, then the warning lamp and warning sound from the Collision warning system (p. 225) are used in order to alert the driver that immediate intervention is required.
NOTE
The warning lamp may be difficult to see in strong sunlight or when wearing sun- glasses.

wheel keypad (p. 203) (or use 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 same symbol is also shown when Dis- tance Warning (p. 215) function is activated.

NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations. If the adaptive cruise control does not appear to react when activated, this may be because the time distance to the vehi- cle in front is preventing an increase in speed.

Adaptive cruise control* - temporary deactivation, and standby mode The adaptive cruise control can be temporar- ily deactivated and set in standby mode.
Temporary deactivation/standby mode - with speed limiter To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruise control and set it in standby mode: • Press the steering wheel button
This symbol and the stored speed's marking then change colour from GREEN to WHITE.
Temporary deactivation/standby mode - without speed limiter To temporarily disengage the adaptive cruise control and set it in standby mode: • Press the steering wheel button Standby mode due to driver intervention The adaptive cruise control is temporarily dis- engaged and set automatically in standby mode if: • the foot brake is used • the clutch pedal is depressed for longer
than 1 minute9
• the gear selector is moved to N position
(automatic gearbox)
• the driver maintains speed higher than
the stored 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 setting - the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
The adaptive cruise control is dependent on
other systems, e.g. Stability system ESC
(p. 187). If any of these systems stops work-
ing, the adaptive cruise control is deactivated
automatically.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal
will sound and the message Adaptive cruise
control cancelled is shown in the combined
instrument panel. The driver must then inter-
vene and adapt the speed and distance to
the vehicle ahead.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
• the driver opens the door
• the driver takes off his seatbelt
• engine speed is too low/high
• speed has fallen below 30 km/h10
• wheels lose traction
9 Disengaging and selecting a higher or lower gear does not involve standby mode. 10 Does not apply to a car with Queue Assist - it can go all the way down to 0 km/h.

Adaptive cruise control* - overtaking another vehicle
When the car is following another vehicle and the driver indicates an impending overtaking manoeuvre with the direction indicator11, the adaptive cruise control helps to briefly accel- erate the car towards the vehicle in front. This function is active at speeds above 70 km/h.
WARNING
Be aware that this function can be acti- vated in more situations other than during overtaking, e.g. when a direction indicator is used to indicate a change of lane or exit to another road - the car will then acceler- ate briefly.

Adaptive Cruise Control* - queue assistance Queue assistance also provides the adaptive cruise control with enhanced functionality at speeds below 30 km/h.
In cars with automatic gearbox the adaptive cruise control is supplemented with the queue assistance function (also referred to as "Queue Assist"). Queue assistance has the following functions: • Extended speed range - also below
30 km/h and when stationary
• Change of target • Automatic braking ceases when station-
ary
• Automatic activation parking brake. Note that the lowest programmable speed for the adaptive cruise control is 30 km/h - even though it is capable of following another vehi- cle down to a standstill, a speed lower than 30 km/h cannot be selected/stored.
Extended speed range
07
NOTE
In order to activate the adaptive cruise control, the driver's door must be closed and the driver must be wearing the seat- belt.
With an automatic gearbox, the adaptive cruise control can follow another vehicle within the range 0-200 km/h.
NOTE
A vehicle in front must be within a reason- able distance in order to enable activation of the adaptive cruise control at a speed lower than 30 km/h.
For shorter stops in connection with inching in slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is automatically resumed if the stops do not exceed about 3 seconds - if it takes longer before the car in front starts moving again then the Adaptive cruise control is set in standby mode with automatic braking. The driver must then reactivate it in one of the fol- lowing ways: • Press the steering wheel button or • Depress the accelerator pedal. > The adaptive cruise control will then resume following the vehicle in front.
NOTE
Queue Assist can hold the car stationary for a maximum of 4 minutes - then the parking brake is applied and the adaptive cruise control is disengaged. • The parking brake must be released
before the adaptive cruise control can be reactivated.
Change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front. When the adaptive cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h and changes target from a moving to a stationary vehicle, the adaptive cruise control will slow down for the stationary vehicle.
208
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
WARNING
When the adaptive cruise control is follow- ing another vehicle at speeds in excess of 30 km/h and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the adaptive cruise control will ignore the sta- tionary vehicle and instead select the stored speed. • The driver must intervene him/herself
and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change of target The adaptive cruise control is disengaged and set in standby mode: • when the speed is below 5 km/h and the
adaptive cruise control is uncertain whether the target object is a stationary vehicle or some other object, e.g. a speed bump.
• when the speed is below 5 km/h and the vehicle in front turns off so the adaptive cruise control no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Termination of automatic braking at a standstill In certain situations, queue assistance stops automatic braking at a standstill. This means that the brakes are released and the car may start to roll - the driver must therefore inter- vene and brake the car himself/herself in order to maintain its position.
Queue assistance releases the foot brake and sets the adaptive cruise control in standby mode in the following situations: • 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 adaptive cruise control
in standby mode.
Automatic activation parking brake In certain situations queue assistance applies the parking brake in order to keep the car remaining stationary. This takes place if: • the driver opens the door or takes off
his/her seatbelt
• ESC is changed from Normal to Sport
mode
• Queue assistance has held the car sta-
tionary for more than 4 minutes
• the engine is switched off • the brakes have overheated. Related information • Adaptive cruise control - ACC* (p. 201) • Adaptive cruise control* - overview

Radar sensor - limitations A radar sensor (p. 210) has certain limitations - due to its limited field of vision for example.
The capacity of the adaptive cruise control to detect a vehicle in front is significantly reduced if: • the speed of vehicles in front is signifi- cantly different from your own speed
• its radar sensor becomes blocked - e.g. in heavy rain or slush, or if other objects have collected in front of the radar sen- sor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean - see subheading "Maintenance" (p. 229).
Field of vision 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.
Radar sensor The function of the radar sensor is to detect cars or larger vehicles in the same direction, in the same lane.
The radar sensor is used by the following functions: • Distance Warning* • Adaptive cruise control* • Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Pedestrian Detection*
IMPORTANT
In the event of visible damage to the car's grille, or if you suspect that the radar sen- sor may be damaged: • Contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
The function may completely or partially disappear - or malfunction - if the grille, the radar sensor or its bracket is damaged or has loosened.
Modification of the radar sensor could result in it being illegal to use.

WARNING
WARNING
The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and inter- vene when the adaptive cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed or suita- ble 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 con- trol is being used.
WARNING
Accessories or other objects such as auxil- iary lamps must not be fitted in front of the grille.
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must inter- vene if the system does not detect a vehi- cle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcy- cles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles 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.

ACC field of vision.
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.

Adaptive cruise control* - fault tracing and action
If the combined instrument panel shows the message Radar blocked See manual then it means that the adaptive cruise control's radar
sensor (p. 210) cannot detect other vehicles in front of the car. This message indicates that neither of the functions for Distance Alert (p. 215) or Colli-
sion Warning with Auto Brake (p. 225) are working. The following table presents examples of 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.
Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the radar signals.
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.
