Setting/changing set speed

Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model and market.

For vehicles with only CC
Change a set speed by pressing the + (1) or – (3)  buttons briefly or by pressing and holding them:

• Press briefly: Press briefly: each press changes the speed in +/- 1 mph
  (+/- 1 km/h) increments.
  Press and hold: release the button when the set speed indicator (4) has moved to the desired speed.
• The most recently set speed will be stored. If speed is increased by depressing the accelerator pedal while pressing the (1) button on the steering wheel, the vehicle’s speed when the button is pressed will be stored as the set speed.
  Temporarily increasing speed using the accelerator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

For vehicles with both CC and ACC – Change a set speed by pressing the +  (1) or (3) buttons briefly or by pressing and

• Press briefly: Press briefly: each press changes the speed in +/- 5 mph
  (+/- 5 km/h) increments.
  Press and hold: release the button when the set speed indicator (4) has moved to the desired speed.
• The most recently set speed will be stored. If speed is increased by depressing the accelerator pedal while pressing the (1) button on the steering wheel, the vehicle’s speed when the button is pressed will be stored as the set speed.
  Temporarily increasing speed using the accelerator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
•  
• Using engine braking instead of applying the brakes
  Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applying the brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes be desirable to roll a bit faster and let speed be reduced instead by engine braking alone. The driver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Control braking function.

To disengage CC:

• – Press the accelerator pedal about halfway down and then release it.
  > Cruise Control will automatically disengage the automatic brake function and speed will only be reduced using the engine braking function.

Adaptive Cruise Control*18
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC19) helps the driver maintain a constant speed with a set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive Cruise Control can help provide a more relaxed driving experience on long trips on highways or long, straight roads with even traffic flows.

The camera/radar sensor measures the distance to the vehicle ahead.
The driver sets a speed and a time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the camera/radar sensor detects a slower-moving vehicle ahead, your vehicle’s speed will be automatically adapted according to the set time interval to that vehicle. When there are no longer slower-moving vehicles ahead, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
If the Curve Speed Assist (CSA)* function is activated, it may also affect the vehicle’s speed.

WARNING

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  The driver is advised to read all sections in the Owner’s Manual about this function to learn of its limitations, which the driver must be aware of before using the function.
  Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Adaptive Cruise Control regulates speed by accelerating and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a slight sound when they are being used to adjust speed.
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.
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.

CAUTION
Only a workshop may perform maintenance on driver support components – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
