Volvo XC90: Driver support / Passing assistance
(Option/accessory.)
Passing assistance can assist the driver when passing other vehicles. The
function can be used with Adaptive Cruise Control* or Pilot Assist*.
When Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist is following another vehicle and
you indicate that you intend to pass that vehicle by using the turn signal1,
the system will begin accelerating toward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle
has moved into the passing lane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your
vehicle approaches a slower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle has passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be activated in more situations than
just passing another vehicle, such as when a direction indicator is used to indicate
a lane change or before exiting to another road – the vehicle will then briefly
accelerate.
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.
