Start the engine following an approved breath test within 5 minutes - otherwise it must be repeated. `` * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 109 03 Your driving environment Alcoguard* Result after breath test Lamp (5) + Dis- play text Specification Green lamp + Alco- guard Approved test Start the engine - no alcohol content measured. 03 Yellow lamp + Alco- guard Approved test Red lamp + Disap- proved test Wait 1 minute Engine starting pos- sible - measured alcohol content is above 0.1 promille but below the limit value in forceA. Engine starting not possible - measured alcohol content is above the limit value in forceA. A Limits vary between countries, so find out what limits apply. See also the section entitled General information on the Alcolock on page 109 NOTE After a completed period of driving, the engine can be restarted within 30 minutes without a new breath test. To bear in mind Before the breath test In order to obtain correct function and as accu- rate a measurement result as possible: • Avoid eating or drinking approx. 5 minutes before the breath test. • Avoid excess windscreen washing - the alcohol in the washer fluid may result in an incorrect measurement result. Change of driver In order to ensure that a new breath test is car- ried out in the event of a change of driver - depress the switch (2) and the send button (3) simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds. At which point the car returns to start inhibition mode and a new approved breath test is required before starting the engine. Calibration and service The Alcolock must be checked and calibrated at a workshop1 every 12 months. 30 days before recalibration is necessary the display shows Alcoguard Calibr. required. If calibration is not carried out within these 30 days then normal engine starting will be blocked - only starting with the Bypass func- tion will then be possible, see page 111 sec- tion Emergency situation. The message can be cleared by pressing the send button (3) once. Otherwise it goes out on its own after approx. 2 minutes but then reap- pears each time the engine is started - only recalibration at a workshop1 can clear the mes- sage permanently. Cold or hot weather The colder the weather the longer it takes before the Alcolock is ready for use: Temperature (ºC) Maximum heat- ing time (sec- onds) +10 — +85 –5 — +10 –40 — –5 10 60 180 At temperatures below -20 ºC or above +60 ºC the Alcolock requires additional power supply. The display shows Alcoguard insert power cable. In which case, connect the power supply cable from the glovebox and wait until indicator lamp (6) is green. 1 An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. 110 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. In extremely cold weather the heating time can be reduced by taking the Alcolock indoors. Emergency situation In the event of an emergency situation, or if the Alcolock is out of order or has been removed, it is possible to bypass the Alcolock in order to drive the car. NOTE All Bypass activation is logged and saved in memory, see page 10 in the section, Recording data. After the Bypass function has been activated the display shows Alcoguard Bypass enabled the whole time while driving and can only be reset by a workshop1. The Bypass function can be tested without the error message being logged - in which case, carry out all the steps without starting the car. The error message is cleared when the car is locked. When the Alcolock is installed, either the Bypass or Emergency function is selected as the bypassing option. This setting can be changed afterwards at a workshop1. 1 An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. 03 Your driving environment Activating the Bypass function • Depress and hold the left-hand stalk switch READ button and the button for hazard warning flashers simultaneously for approx. 5 seconds - the display first shows Bypass activated Wait 1 minute and then Alcoguard Bypass enabled - after which the engine can be started. This function can be activated several times. The error message shown during driving can only be cleared at a workshop1. Activating the Emergency function • Depress and hold the left-hand stalk switch READ button and the button for hazard warning flashers simultaneously for approx. 5 seconds - the display shows Alcoguard Bypass enabled and the engine can be started. This function can be used once, after which a reset must be made at a workshop1.

Insert the remote control key in the ignition switch and press it in to its end position. Note that if the car is equipped with an alcolock then a breath test must first be approved before the engine can be started, see page 109. 03 Your driving environment 2. Hold the clutch pedal fully depressed1. (For cars with automatic gearbox - Depress the brake pedal.) 3. Press the START/STOP ENGINE button and then release it. The starter motor works until the engine has started, but for no longer than 10 seconds (die- sel up to 60 seconds). If the engine has not started - try again by hold- ing in the START/STOP ENGINE button until the engine starts. WARNING Always remove the remote control key from the ignition switch when leaving the car - especially if there are children in the car. For information on how the key is removed from the ignition switch, see page 81. NOTE The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types during cold starting. This is so that the emissions system can reach normal operating tem- perature as quickly as possible, which min- imises exhaust emissions and protects the environment. Starting the engine Keyless drive Follow steps 2–3 for starting petrol and diesel engines. For more information on Keyless drive, see page 57. NOTE One precondition for starting the car is that one of the car's remote control keys with the keyless drive* function is located inside the passenger compartment or the cargo area. 03 WARNING Never remove the remote control key with the Keyless drive* function from the car while driving or during towing.

Steering lock The steering lock opens when the START/ STOP ENGINE button is depressed after the 1 If the car is moving then it is enough to press the START/STOP ENGINE button to start the car. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 113 `` 03 Your driving environment Starting the engine remote control key has been pressed into the ignition switch. The steering lock is activated when the driver's door is opened after the engine has been switched off. 03 Key positions For information on the remote control key's dif- ferent key positions, see page 81 114 03 Your driving environment Starting the engine – external battery Jump starting If the battery is flat then the car can be started with current from another battery. The following points are recommended when using a donor battery in order to avoid the risk of an explosion: 1. Insert the remote control key in key posi- tion 0, see page 81. 2. Ensure that the donor battery is 12 volt. 3. If the donor battery is in another car, switch off the donor car's engine in the other car and ensure that the cars do not touch one another. 4. Connect the red jump lead to the positive terminal on the donor battery 5. Open the clips on the front cover of the battery in your car and remove the cover, see page 322. 6. Connect the red jump lead to the battery's positive terminal 7. Connect one end of the black jump lead to the donor battery's negative terminal IMPORTANT Connect the start cable carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in the engine compartment. 8. Connect the other clamp to an earthing point, (right-hand engine mounting at the top, the outer screw head) . Check that the jump lead clamps are fixed securely so that there are no sparks during the starting procedure. 9. Start the engine of the "donor car". Let the engine run a few minutes at a speed slightly higher than idle (1500 rpm). 10. Start the engine of the car with the flat bat- tery. Do not touch the crocodile clips dur- ing the start procedure. There is a risk of sparks forming. 11. Remove the jump leads, first the black and then the red. Make sure that none of the clamps on the black jump lead comes into contact with the battery's positive terminal or the clamp connected to the red jump lead. WARNING The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. One spark, which can be generated if you connect a jump lead incorrectly, is sufficient to make the battery explode. The battery contains sulphuric acid, which can cause serious burns. If the acid comes into contact with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large quantities of water. If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medical attention immediately. 03 115 03 Your driving environment Gearboxes Manual gearbox 03 Gearshift pattern 5-speed gearbox. Look at the actual gearshift pattern imprinted on the gear lever. • Depress the clutch pedal fully during each gear change. • Take your foot off the clutch pedal between gear changes. Reverse gear inhibitor The reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possibil- ity of mistakenly attempting to engage reverse gear during normal forward travel. • Start from neutral position N and only engage reverse gear R when the car is sta- tionary. NOTE With the upper variant of the shifting pattern for 6-speed gearbox (see previous illustra- tion) - first press down the gear lever in the N position in order to engage reverse gear. Gearshift pattern 6-speed gearbox. The 6-speed box is available in two versions - reverse gear position differs between them. 116 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. Automatic gearbox, Geartronic* D: Automatic gear positions. M (+/–): Manual gear positions. The information display shows the position of the gear selector using the following indica- tions: P, R, N, D, S, 1, 2, 3, 4 5 or 6, see page 75. Gear positions Parking position (P) Select P when starting the engine or when the car is parked. The brake pedal must be depressed to disengage the gear selector from the P position. The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P position is engaged. Activate the electric parking brake by pressing the button, see page 131. 03 Your driving environment IMPORTANT The car must be stationary when position P is selected. Reverse (R) The car must be stationary when position R is selected. Neutral position (N) No gear is engaged and the engine can be started. Apply the parking brake if the car is stationary with the gear selector in position N. Drive (D) D is the normal driving position. Shifting up and down takes place automatically based on the level of acceleration and speed. The car must be stationary when the gear selector is moved to position D from position R. Geartronic – Manual gear positions (+/-) The driver can also change gear manually using the Geartronic automatic gearbox. The car engine-brakes when the accelerator pedal is released. Manual gearshift mode is obtained by moving the lever to the side from position D to the end position at +/–. The information display shifts the indication from D to one of the figures 1 – 1 Only models D5 and T6. 6, which is equivalent to the gear that is engaged just then, see page 75. • Move the lever forwards towards + (plus) to change up a gear and release the lever, which returns to its rest position between + and –. or • Pull the lever back towards – (minus) to change down a gear and release it. The manual gearshift mode (+/–) can be selected at any time while driving. Geartronic automatically shifts down if the driver allows the speed to decrease lower than a level suitable for the selected gear, in order to avoid jerking and stalling. To return to automatic driving mode: • Move the lever to the side to the end posi- tion at D. NOTE f the gearbox has a Sport programme then the gearbox will only become manual after the lever has been moved forwards or back- wards in its (-+/–) position. The information display then shifts the indication from S to show which of the gears 1-6 is engaged. Gearboxes Geartronic - Sport mode (S)1 The Sport programme provides sportier cha- racteristics and allows higher engine speed for the gears. At the same time it responds more quickly to acceleration. During active driving, the use of a lower gear is prioritised, leading to a delayed upshift. Sport mode is obtained by moving the lever to the side from D position to the end position at +/–. The information display shifts the indica- tion from D to S. Sport mode can be selected at any time while driving. Geartronic - Winter mode It can be easier to pull away on slippery roads if 3rd gear is engaged manually. 1. Depress the brake pedal and move the gear lever from the D position to the end position at +/– - the instrument panel dis- play shifts the indication from D to the fig- ure 1. 2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the lever forward towards + (plus) twice - the display shifts the indication from 1 to 3. 3. Release the brake and accelerate carefully. 03 `` 117 03 Your driving environment Gearboxes The gearbox "winter mode" means that the car moves off with a lower engine speed and reduced engine power on the drive wheels. Kick-down When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the way to the floor (beyond the position normally regarded as full acceleration) a lower gear is immediately engaged. This is known as kick- down. If the accelerator is released from the kick- down position, the gearbox automatically changes up. Kick-down is used when maximum accelera- tion is needed, such as for overtaking. Safety function To prevent overrevving the engine, the gearbox control program has a protective downshift inhibitor which prevents the kick-down func- tion. Geartronic does not permit downshifting/kick- down which would result in an engine speed high enough to damage the engine. Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shift down in this way at high engine speed – the original gear remains engaged. When kick-down is activated the car can change one or more gears at a time depending on engine speed. The car changes up when the 03 118 engine reaches its maximum speed in order to prevent damage to the engine. Mechanical gear selector inhibitor The gear selector can be moved forward and back freely between N and D. Other positions are locked with a latch that is released with the inhibitor button on the gear selector. With the inhibitor button depressed the lever can be moved forwards or backwards between P, R, N and D. Automatic gear selector inhibitor The automatic gearbox has special safety sys- tems: Parking position (P) Stationary car with engine running: Keep your foot on the brake pedal when mov- ing the gear selector to another position. Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock Parking position (P) To be able to move the gear selector from P to other gear positions, the brake pedal must be depressed and the remote control key must be in position II, see page 81. Shiftlock – Neutral (N) If the gear selector is in the N position and the car has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irrespective of whether the engine is running) then the gear selector is locked. To be able to move the gear selector from N to other gear positions, the brake pedal must be
