Volvo XC90: Driver support / Switching target vehicles with driver support
At certain speeds, vehicles with automatic transmissions and the driver support
functions Adaptive Cruise Control* and Pilot Assist* can switch target vehicles.
Switching target vehicles

If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be stationary
traffic ahead.
When driver support is actively following another vehicle at speeds under
30 km/h (20 mph) and switches targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle,
driver support will brake for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When driver support follows another vehicle at speeds over approx.
30 km/h (20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a moving vehicle to a stationary
one – driver support will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead accelerate
to the stored speed.
- The driver must then intervene and apply the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching targets
Driver support disengages and goes into standby mode if:
- your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h (3 mph) and driver support cannot
determine if the target vehicle is stationary or if it is another object, e.g.
a speed bump.
- your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h (3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns
so that driver support no longer has a vehicle to follow.
* Option/accessory.
The driver support systems Adaptive Cruise Control* and Pilot Assist* can
help alert the driver if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly decreases to
an unsafe distance...
It is possible to adjust set speeds for the cruise control, Adaptive Cruise
Control* and Pilot Assist* functions.
: Increases the set speed
: Reduces the set speed
Set speed
Change a set speed by pressing the
(1) or
(2) buttons briefly or by pressing
and holding them:
Brief press: Each press changes the speed in +/- 5 km/h (+/-
5 mph) increments...
Other information:
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. The longer the dirt
remains, the more difficult it will be to keep the vehicle clean. It could also
lead to paint damage.
Washing your vehicle in an automatic car wash is a fast and easy way to keep
your vehicle clean, but it does not reach all areas of the vehicle...
Park Assist Pilot (PAP1) can help the driver maneuver the vehicle
when parking. The function can also assist with steering when pulling out from a
parallel parking space.
The function first checks whether there is sufficient space and then helps the
driver steer the vehicle into the space...
