Understanding Adaptive Cruise Control in the 2021 Volvo S90

The 2021 Volvo S90 comes equipped with an advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system designed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. While primarily focused on safety and comfort, this system can be tuned to support a sportier driving experience without compromising control.

Steps to Adjust Adaptive Cruise Control for Sportier Driving

  • Access the Driver Assistance Menu: Use the center display to navigate to the 'Settings' and select 'Driver Assistance' to find the ACC options.
  • Adjust Following Distance: Reduce the following distance setting slightly to allow for a more aggressive gap that suits spirited driving.
  • Modify Acceleration Sensitivity: Some Volvo models allow you to adjust how sharply the car accelerates when resuming speed; increasing this sensitivity can improve responsiveness.
  • Enable Sport Mode: Activating Sport Mode modifies throttle response and transmission behavior, complementing your ACC adjustments for a dynamic feel.

Always test your new settings in a safe environment to ensure they meet your driving preferences while maintaining safety. Remember, Adaptive Cruise Control is a driver aid and not a substitute for attentive driving.
