Volvo XC90: Driver support / Drive modes when using time interval to vehicle
The driver can choose different drive modes to determine how driver support
should maintain a time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Settings are made using the DRIVE MODE controls.
Select one of the following:
- Eco - Driver support will focus on providing good fuel economy, which
will increase the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
- Comfort - Driver support will focus on following the set time interval
to the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible.
- Dynamic* - Driver support will focus on following the set time interval
to the vehicle ahead more exactly, which could mean faster acceleration and
heavier braking.
The time interval to the vehicle ahead can be set for the functions Adaptive
Cruise Control*, Pilot Assist* and Distance Alert*.
Different time intervals to the
vehicle ahead can be selected and are shown in the instrument panel as 1–5 horizontal
bars...
The driver support functions Adaptive Cruise Control* and Pilot Assist* have
a special brake function in slow traffic and while stationary. In certain situations,
the parking brake will be applied to keep the vehicle at a standstill...
Other information:
Kickdown can be used when maximum acceleration is needed e.g. when passing.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed all the way to the floor (past the normal
full accelerator position), the transmission will automatically engage kickdown,
i.e. immediately shift down to a lower gear...
When the vehicle is connected to the Internet, it is possible to use web radio
and music services via apps, download software and contact retailers from the vehicle.
The vehicle can be connected to the Internet using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or the vehicle's
integrated modem (SIM card)...
