2022 Volvo S90 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid Cruise control
Cruise control
The cruise control (CC Cruise Control) helps the driver maintain an even speed, which can result in more relaxed driving on motorways and long, straight roads in regular traffic flows.
With Cruise Control, speed is regulated with less frequent application of the foot brake. On a downhill gradient, it may sometimes be desirable to start moving a little faster and instead limit the acceleration by engine braking. In this case the driver can temporarily disable foot brake application by Cruise Control.
To do so, proceed as follows:
- Depress the accelerator pedal about halfway down and release.
- Cruise Control will disengage its automatic foot braking and then uses engine braking only.
Warning
- The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and 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 that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.
- Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car 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.
Standby mode for cruise control
Standby mode means that the function is selected in the driver display but not activated. The symbol in the driver display is extinguished and cruise control does not then regulate the speed.
Cruise control is deactivated and set to standby mode if any of the following occur:
- The foot brake is used.
- The gear selector is moved to N position.
- The driver maintains a speed higher than the stored speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then control the speed himself/herself.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelerator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the setting – the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Activation of automatic standby mode can be due to one of the following:
- The wheels are losing traction.
- The engine speed is too low/high.
- Brake temperature is too high.
- Speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph).
The driver must then control the speed himself/herself.
Setting the stored speed for cruise control functions
It is possible to set stored speed for the speed limiter, cruise control and Pilot Assist (Option/accessory.) functions.
| 1 | Stored speed |
| 2 | +: Increases the stored speed |
| 3 | -: Reduces stored speed |
Change a set speed with short presses on the steering wheel buttons + (1) or – (2) or by pressing and holding them.
- Short presses: Each press changes the speed in increments of +/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph).
- Press and hold: Release the button when the speed indicator (3) has moved to the desired speed.
- The speed set after the last button press is stored in the memory.
If the driver increases the car’s speed using the accelerator pedal before pressing the steering wheel button + (1), the speed stored will be the car’s speed when the button is depressed, provided the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal at the moment when the button is depressed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelerator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the setting – the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
