Volvo XC90: Driver support / Using passing assistance
Passing assistance can be used with Adaptive Cruise Control* or Pilot Assist*.
Several conditions must be met for passing assistance to be possible.
In order to activate passing assistance:
- your vehicle must be following a vehicle ahead (target vehicle)
- your vehicle's current speed must be at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
- the set speed must be high enough to safely pass another vehicle.
To start passing assistance:
- Turn on the left turn signal.
- Passing assistance will start.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions suddenly change when using
Passing Assistance, the function may implement an undesired acceleration in certain
conditions. Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if:
- the vehicle is approaching an exit in the same direction as passing
would normally occur
- the vehicle ahead slows before your vehicle has had time to switch
to the passing lane
- traffic in the passing lane slows down
Situations of this type can be avoided by temporarily putting Adaptive
Cruise Control or Pilot Assist in standby mode.
* Option/accessory.
(Option/accessory.)
Passing assistance can assist the driver when passing other vehicles. The
function can be used with Adaptive Cruise Control* or Pilot Assist*...
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...
Other information:
The electrical functions in the vehicle drain the battery to varying degrees.
Avoid using ignition mode II when the engine is switched off. Use ignition mode
I instead, as this uses less electrical current.
Note that certain accessories may also drain power from the electrical system...
City Safety1 can assist the driver by automatically braking the
vehicle when it is not possible to avoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodically attempting to predict possible
"escape routes" to the sides of the vehicle in the event a slow-moving or stationary
vehicle were to be detected at a late stage...
