Starting the engine

WARNING

NOTE

• After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for a short period. This is done to help bring components in the emission control system to their normal operating tem- perature as quickly as possible, which enables them to control emissions and help reduce the vehicle's impact on the environment3.

• Always remove the remote key from the

ignition slot when leaving the vehicle, especially if there are children in the vehicle.

• Never open the driver's door while driv- ing or when the vehicle is being towed. The steering lock could otherwise be activated, making it impossible to steer the vehicle. On vehicles with the optional keyless drive, never remove the remote key from the vehicle while driving or during towing.

• Always place the gear selector in Park

and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine run- ning.

• Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monox- ide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.

CAUTION

• When starting in cold weather, the auto-

matic transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than nor- mal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating tem- perature.

• Do not race a cold engine immediately

after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough to prevent engine damage.

• The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never acceler- ate until after you feel the transmission engage. Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmis- sion wear.

• Selecting P or N when idling at a stand-

still for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the auto- matic transmission fluid.

3 If the gear selector is in the D or R positions and the car is not moving, engine speed (rpm) will be lower and it will take longer for the engine to reach normal operating temperature.

before the gear lever can be moved from the P position. Always apply the parking brake when the vehi- cle is parked. Press the control to apply the brake, see page 119.

Shiftgate positions1
Depress the button on the front of the gear selector knob to move the gear selector between the R, N, D, and P positions. The gear selector can be moved freely between the Geartronic (manual shifting) and Drive (D) positions while driving.

Park position (P) Select the P position when starting or parking. Shiftlock When P has been selected, the transmission is mechanically blocked in this position. The brake pedal must be depressed and the igni- tion must be in at least mode II (see page 80)

CAUTION

The vehicle must be stationary when posi- tion P is selected.

Reverse ®) The vehicle must be stationary when position R is selected.

Neutral position (N) No gear is engaged and the engine can be started with the gear selector in this position.

Transmission

Apply the parking brake if the vehicle is sta- tionary with the gear selector in position N.

Drive (D) D is the normal driving position. The car auto- matically shifts between the various forward gears, based on the level of acceleration and speed. The car must be at a standstill when shifting from position R to position D.

Geartronic–manual shifting Geartronic allows you to manually shift among your vehicle's six forward speeds. Geartronic can be selected at any time. • To access the manual shifting position

from Drive (D), move the gear selector to the right (to the area marked M in the illus- tration.

• To return to the D position from the manual shifting position, move the gear selector to the left.

While driving • If you select the manual shifting position

while driving, the gear that was being used in the Drive position will also initially be selected in the manual shifting position. • Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "–") to shift to a lower gear.

1 The information display (see page 73) shows the gear selector's position or the selected gear by displaying the following: P, R, N, D, S, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

03 Your driving environment

Transmission

• If you hold the gear selector toward "–", the transmission will downshift one gear at a time and will utilize the braking power of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift will not occur until the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used. • If you slow to a very low speed, the trans-

mission will automatically shift down.

Shiftlock – Neutral (N) If the gear selector is in the N position and the vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 sec- onds (irrespective of whether the engine is run- ning) then the gear selector is locked. To be able to move the gear selector from N to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition must be in posi- tion II, see page 80. Geartronic–Sport mode (S)2
This transmission mode provides sportier shift- ing characteristics and enables a more active driving style by making it possible to drive at higher rpm in each gear before shifting up. The engine also responds faster when the throttle pedal is pressed. To access Sport mode from Drive (D), move the gear selector to the right. The transmission will

not switch to manual shifting mode until the gear selector is moved forward or rearward toward + or –. Sport mode can be selected any time.

selector forward again and release it to select 3rd gear.

3. Release the brake pedal and press gently

on the accelerator pedal.

NOTE

• When the transmission is in Sport

mode, the transmission symbol in the main instrument panel will change from D to S (see page 73).

• Please be aware that using Sport mode

may result in a slight decrease in fuel economy. Driving in D can help improve fuel economy.

Geartronic–starting on slippery surfaces Selecting 3rd gear in Geartronic’s manual shift- ing mode can help provide better traction when starting off on slippery surfaces. To do so: 1. Depress the brake pedal and move the

gear selector to the right from the D posi- tion to the manual shifting position. The text in the instrument panel display will change from D to 1.

2. Press the gear selector forward and

release it (this selects 2nd gear). Press the

Shiftlock override

If the vehicle cannot be driven, for example because of a dead battery, the gear selector must be moved from the P position before the vehicle can be moved3.

Lift away the rubber mat on the floor of the storage compartment behind the center console to expose the small opening for overriding the shiftlock system.

2 Certain models only 3 If the battery is dead, the electric parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 111.

All Wheel Drive – AWD4

NOTE

The message AWD disabled Service required will be appear in the information display if an electrical fault should occur in the AWD system. A warning light will also illuminate in the instrument panel. If this occurs, have the system checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service techni- cian.

Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All Wheel Drive, which means that power is distributed automatically between the front and rear wheels. Under normal driving condi- tions, most of the engine's power is directed to the front wheels. However, if there is any ten- dency for the front wheels to spin, an electron- ically controlled coupling distributes power to the wheels that have the best traction.

4 Standard on certain models.

Brakes

Brake system The brake system is a hydraulic system con- sisting of two separate brake circuits. If a prob- lem should occur in one of these circuits, it is still possible to stop the vehicle with the other brake circuit. If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pressure, the stopping distance will be longer. A warning light in the instrument panel will light up to warn the driver that a fault has occurred. If this light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.

NOTE

Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal – do not pump the brakes.

WARNING

If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a brake system message is shown in the information display: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and have the brake system inspected.

Brake pad inspection On vehicles equipped with a jack*, the condi- tion of the brake pads can be checked by rais- ing the vehicle (see page 298 for information about using the jack and removing a wheel) and performing a visual inspection of the brake pads.

WARNING

• If the vehicle has been driven immedi- ately prior to a brake pad inspection, the wheel hub, brake components, etc., will be very hot. Allow time for these com- ponents to cool before carrying out the inspection.

• Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the Park (P) position.

• Block the wheels standing on the

ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.

WARNING

• Use the jack intended for the vehicle

when changing a tire. For any other job, use stands to support the vehicle.

• The jack should be kept well-greased and clean, and should not be damaged. • Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-

slippery surface.

• No objects should be placed between

the base of jack and the ground, or between the jack and the attachment bar on the vehicle.

• The jack must correctly engage the jack

attachment.

• Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a vehicle supported by a jack.

Brake lights The brake lights come on automatically when the brakes are applied. Adaptive brake lights The adaptive brake lights activate in the event of sudden braking or if the ABS system is acti- vated. This function causes an additional tail- light on each side of the vehicle to illuminate to help alert vehicles traveling behind. The adaptive brake lights activate if:

116

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

03 Your driving environment

• The ABS system activates for more than

approximately a half second

• In the event of sudden braking while the

vehicle is moving at speeds above approx- imately 6 mph (10 km/h)

When the vehicle has come to a stop, the brake lights and additional taillights remain on for as long as the brake pedal is depressed or until braking force on the vehicle is reduced.

Power brakes function only when the engine is running The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure which is only created when the engine is run- ning. Never let the vehicle roll to a stop with the engine switched off. If the power brakes are not working, consider- ably higher pressure will be required on the brake pedal to compensate for the lack of power assistance. This can happen for exam- ple when towing your vehicle or if the engine is switched off when the vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels harder than usual.

Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking Driving in rain and slush or passing through an automatic car wash can cause water to collect on the brake discs and pads. This will cause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delay when the

brakes are needed, depress the pedal occa- sionally when driving through rain, slush, etc. This will remove the water from the brakes. Check that brake application feels normal. This should also be done after washing or starting in very damp or cold weather.

Severe strain on the brake system The brakes will be subject to severe strain when driving in mountains or hilly areas, or when towing a trailer. Vehicle speed is usually slower, which means that the cooling of the brakes is less efficient than when driving on level roads. To reduce the strain on the brakes, shift into a lower gear and let the engine help with the braking. Do not forget that if you are towing a trailer, the brakes will be subjected to a greater than normal load.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control (stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting brake lockup. When the system "senses" impending lockup, braking pressure is auto- matically modulated in order to help prevent lockup that could lead to a skid. The system performs a brief self-diagnostic test when the engine has been started and driver releases the brake pedal. Another auto- matic test may be performed when the vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately 6 mph

Brakes

(10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module, which is normal.

Cleaning the brake discs Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs may result in delayed brake function. This delay is minimized by cleaning the brake linings. Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet weather, prior to long-term parking, and after the vehicle has been washed. Do this by brak- ing gently for a short period while the vehicle is moving.

Emergency Brake Assistance EBA is designed to provide full brake effect immediately in the event of sudden, hard brak- ing. The system is activated by the speed with which the brake pedal is depressed. When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increases to the maximum level. Maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system completely. EBA is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released.

03

03 Your driving environment

Brakes

NOTE

• When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increa- ses to the maximum level. You must maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system com- pletely. There will be no braking effect if the pedal is released. EBA is automati- cally deactivated when the brake pedal is released.

• When the vehicle has been parked for some time, the brake pedal may sink more than usual when the engine is started. This is normal and the pedal will return to its usual position when it is released.

Electric parking brake An electric parking brake has the same func- tion as a manual parking brake.

NOTE

• A faint sound from the parking brake's electric motor can be heard when the parking brake is being applied. This sound can also be heard during the automatic function check of the parking brake.

• The brake pedal will move slightly when the electric parking brake is applied or released.

Low battery voltage If the battery voltage is too low, the parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 111.

Introduction

Air conditioning The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC). The climate control system cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in the pas- senger compartment.

NOTE

• The air conditioning can be switched

off, but to ensure the best possible cli- mate comfort in the passenger com- partment and to prevent the windows from misting, it should always be on. • In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water is condensation from the A/C system and is normal.

Sensor location • The sunlight sensor is located on the top

side of the dashboard.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

NOTE

The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight. This can mean that the temperature may differ between the right and left-side air vents, even if the temperatures set for both sides of the passenger compartment are the same.

• The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climate control panel.

• The outside (ambient) temperature sensor

is located on the door mirror.

• The humidity sensor* is located in the inte-

rior rearview mirror.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.

Side windows and moonroof To ensure that the air conditioning works opti- mally, the side windows, and the optional moonroof should be closed.

Fog on the inside of the windows The defroster function should be used to remove fog or mist from the inside of the win- dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com-

Climate system

mercially available window washing spray will also help prevent fogging or misting.

Vents in the parcel shelf

NOTE

The air vents at the rear of the parcel shelf should never be obstructed.

Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning The air conditioning is momentarily disen- gaged during full-throttle acceleration or when driving uphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporary increase in cabin temperature.

Ice and snow Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.

Climate system maintenance Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service tech- nician.

Refrigerant Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant – R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The air condi-

Climate system

tioning system contains 1.8 lbs (820 g) of R134a. The systems uses PAG oil.

Passenger compartment filter Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to your Warranty and Service Records Informa- tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for these intervals. The filter should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.

NOTE

There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed.

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles in the incoming air, thereby reducing the levels of odors and contaminants entering the vehi- cle. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recircu- lated, i.e. no outside air enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger com- partment air.

NOTE

Air distribution

Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter replacement intervals.

Materials used in the cabin The materials used in the cabin have been developed to help minimize the amount of dust and make the cabin easier to keep clean. All floor mats can be easily removed for cleaning. Use car cleaning products recommended by Volvo. See also the information beginning on page 335.

Menu settings The default settings for four of the climate sys- tem's functions can be changed in the menu system. • Blower speed in automatic mode. • Recirculation timer for passenger com-

partment air.

• Automatic rear window defrosting. • The optional Interior Air Quality System

(IAQS).

The functions can also be returned to factory settings in the menu system. See page 127 for a description of the menu system.

The incoming air is distributed from a number of different vents in the passenger compart- ment. Air distribution is fully automatic in AUTO mode. If desired, air distribution can be controlled manually, see page 140.

A/C – ON/OFF

When the indicator light in the button is on, the air condition- ing is controlled automati- cally. This cools/heats and dehumidifies the incoming air. When the indicator light in the button is off, the air condition- ing is disengaged. Other functions are still con- trolled automatically. When maximum defroster is selected, the air conditioning sys- tem is set for maximum blower speed and dehumidification.

Defroster

This function defrosts/de-ices the windshield and front side windows. The indicator light in the defroster button lights when the function is active.

• Blower speed increases automatically and

the air conditioning will switch on (if not already on and if the passenger compart- ment blower is not turned off) to dehumid- ify the air in the passenger compartment. Air conditioning can be switched off by pressing the AC button.

• Recirculation will not function while defrost

is engaged.

The climate system will return to its previous settings when the defroster function is switched off.

Recirculation/air quality system Recirculation

This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc., from the passen- ger compartment. The air in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e., no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is activated. The indicator light in the button will illuminate when recirculation is selected. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows, especially in winter. Timer The timer function minimizes the risk of fog- ging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected by automatically switching off the function after a certain length of time, depend- ing on the ambient temperature. Activate/ deactivate the function under Climate Recirculation timer. See page settings 127 for a description of the menu system.

Stability system

Introduction The Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system (DSTC) consists of a number of func- tions designed help reduce wheel spin, coun- teract skidding, and to generally help improve directional stability.

CAUTION

A pulsating sound will be audible when the system is actively operating and is normal.

Traction control (TC) This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (on the same axle). TC is most active at low speeds. This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off.

Active Yaw Control (AYC) This function helps maintain directional stabil- ity, for example when cornering, by braking

one or more of the wheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid or slide laterally. This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off.

Spin control (SC) The spin control function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
