04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)* Introduction Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an optional system designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed or a set distance to the vehicle ahead. It is primarily intended for use on long straight roads in steady traffic, such as on highways and other main roads. WARNING Function • Adaptive cruise control cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions. The Function section provides information about limitations that the driver must be aware of before using the adaptive cruise control. This system is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It is not, however, intended to replace the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance and speed and must intervene if adaptive cruise control does not maintain a suitable speed or suitable distance. WARNING • • Do not use the adaptive cruise control system in demanding driving conditions such as city traffic, winding roads, at intersections, on slippery surfaces, in poor visibility, heavy rain, etc. Maintenance of cruise control components must only be performed by an authorized Volvo workshop.
