Driver support -&gt; Adaptive Cruise Control for Your Volvo XC60 SUV 2020

Symbols and messages for Adaptive

A summary of how Adaptive Cruise Control

(ACC²²) is controlled using the left-side steer-

ing wheel keypad and how the function is

shown in the display.

Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts to

regulate speed smoothly. The driver must

apply the brakes in situations requiring imme-

diate braking. For example, when there are

great differences in speed between vehicles or

if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. Due to

limitations in the radar sensor, braking may

occur unexpectedly or not at all.

Cruise Control * (p. 287)

Collision risk warning from driver support

(p. 298)

Setting time interval to the vehicle ahead

(p. 301)

Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to follow

a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain

a time interval to that vehicle set by the driver.

If the radar sensor does not detect a vehicle

ahead, it will instead maintain the speed set

by the driver. This will also happen if the speed

of the vehicle ahead exceeds the set speed for

your vehicle.

The vehicle is driven faster than the set

speed for more than 1 minute.

Temporarily increasing speed using the accel-

cle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will

return to the set speed when the accelerator

pedal is released.

The driver must then regulate vehicle

speed, apply the brakes if necessary,

and maintain a safe distance to other

vehicles.

•

Steep roads and/or heavy loads

Adaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended

to be driven on flat roads. The function may

not be able to maintain the correct time inter-

val to the vehicle ahead when driving down

steep hills. The driver should be extra attentive

and prepared to apply the brakes.

Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standby

mode if:

your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h

(3 mph) and ACC cannot determine if the

vehicle ahead is stationary or if it is

another object, e.g. a speed bump.

•

Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control if the vehi-

cle is carrying a heavy load or towing a trailer.

Other limitations

The Off Road drive mode cannot be selected

if Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.

your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h

(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so

that ACC no longer has a vehicle to follow.

•

the driver opens the door.

•

the driver unbuckles the seat belt.

the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.

one or more of the wheels lose traction.

the brake temperature is high.

the parking brake is applied.

the camera/radar sensor is covered by

snow or heavy rain (the camera lens/radar

waves are blocked).

Depending on market, this function can be either standard or optional.
