Limitations for automatic speed  
limiter  
Automatic speed limitation (ASL39) takes  
place using speed information from the Road  
Sign Information function* (RSI40) – not from  
the speed limit road signs that the car  
passes.  
If road sign information cannot interpret and  
provide speed information to the driver sup-  
port systems, the automatic speed limiter is  
set in standby mode and changes to normal  
speed limiter. In such cases the driver must  
intervene and brake to a suitable speed.  
Cruise control  
–
Press the steering wheel button  
(1)  
The cruise control (CC41) helps the driver  
maintain an even speed, which can result in  
more relaxed driving on motorways and long,  
straight roads in regular traffic flows.  
until 70 km/h (43 mph) in the centre of  
the speedometer (2) changes to 75 km/h  
(47 mph).  
> After which, the car uses the selected  
tolerance 5 km/h (4 mph) as long as  
signs passed are showing 70 km/h  
(43 mph).  
The tolerance is followed until a road sign with  
a lower or higher speed is passed - then the  
car follows the new signed speed limit instead  
and the tolerance is deleted from the memory.  
The automatic speed limiter will be reactivated  
when road sign information can once again  
interpret and provide speed information.  
NOTE  
The maximum selectable tolerance is  
+/- 10 km/h (5 mph).

WARNING  
The function is supplementary driver  
support intended to facilitate driving  
and make it safer – it cannot handle all  
situations in all traffic, weather and  
road conditions.

To do so, proceed as follows:  
–
Depress the accelerator pedal about half-  
way down and release.  
NOTE  
> Cruise Control will disengage its auto-  
matic foot braking and then uses  
engine braking only.  
The driver is advised to read all sec-  
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate  
to this function to learn about factors  
such as its limitations and what the  
driver should be aware of before using  
the system.  
In cars equipped with adaptive cruise con-  
trol* (ACC42), it is possible to switch  
between cruise control and adaptive cruise  
control.

Adaptive cruise control*46  
When the road is clear again the car returns to  
the selected speed.  
WARNING  
The adaptive cruise control (ACC47) can help  
the driver to maintain a constant speed, com-  
bined with a preset time interval to the vehi-  
cle ahead.  
The function is supplementary driver  
support intended to facilitate driving  
and make it safer – it cannot handle all  
situations in all traffic, weather and  
road conditions.  
•
•
The adaptive cruise control aims to:  
regulate the speed smoothly. In situations  
that demand sudden braking the driver  
must brake himself/herself. This applies in  
cases of large speed differences or if the  
vehicle in front brakes suddenly. Due to  
the limitations of the radar unit, braking  
may come unexpectedly or not at all.  
•
The driver is advised to read all sec-  
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate  
to this function to learn about factors  
such as its limitations and what the  
driver should be aware of before using  
the system.  
follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane  
at a time interval set by the driver. If the  
radar unit 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  
ahead increases and exceeds the stored  
speed.  
•
Driver support functions are not a sub-  
stitute for the driver's attention and  
judgement. The driver is always  
responsible for ensuring the car is  
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-  
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-  
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-  
ance with current traffic rules and reg-  
ulations.  
•
The camera and radar unit measures the distance to  
the vehicle ahead.  
An adaptive cruise control can provide a more  
relaxing driving experience on long journeys on  
motorways and long straight main roads in  
smooth traffic flows.  
IMPORTANT  
The driver selects the desired speed and a  
time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the cam-  
era and radar unit detects a slower vehicle in  
front of the car, the speed is adapted automat-  
ically via the preset time interval to the vehicle.  
Maintenance of driver support components  
must only be performed at a workshop –  
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-  
mended.
