Before the engine can be started the driver must take a breath test that verifies that he/she is not under the influence of alcohol. Alcolock calibration takes place in accordance with each market's limit value in force for driving legally. WARNING The Alcolock is an aid and does not exempt the driver from responsibility. It is always the responsibility of the driver to be sober and to drive the car safely. Functions 1. Nozzle for breath test. 2. Switch. 3. Transmission button. 4. Lamp for battery status. 5. Lamp for result of breath test. 6. Lamp indicates ready for breath test. Operation Battery Alcolock indicator lamp (4) shows battery sta- tus: Indicator lamp (4) Green flashing Green Yellow Red Battery status Charging in pro- gress Fully charged Semi-charged Discharged - fit the charger in the holder or connect the power supply cable from the glovebox. 108 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. NOTE Store the Alcolock in its holder. This will keep the built-in battery fully charged and the Alcolock is activated automatically when the car is opened. Before starting the engine The Alcolock is activated automatically and is then ready for use when the car is opened. 1. When the indicator lamp (6) is green the Alcolock is ready for use. 2. Withdraw the Alcolock from its holder. If the Alcolock is outside the car when it is unlocked then it must first be activated with the switch (2). 3. Fold up the nozzle (1), take a deep breath and blow with an even pressure until a "click" is heard after approx. 5 seconds. The result will be one of the alternatives in the following table Result after breath test. If no message is shown then the transmis- sion to the car may have failed - in which case, press the button (3) to transmit the result to the car manually. 4. 5. Fold down the nozzle and refit the Alcolock in its holder. 6. Start the engine following an approved breath test within 5 minutes - otherwise it must be repeated. 03 Your driving environment Result after breath test Indicator lamp (5) + Display text Specification Green lamp + Alco- guard Approved test Start the engine - no alcohol content measured. 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 108 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- 1 An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. 03 Alcoguard* tion will then be possible, see page 110 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. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 109 03 Your driving environment Alcoguard* 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. 03 NOTE All Bypass activation is logged and saved in memory, see page 8 in the section, Record- ing 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. 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. Symbols and display messages In addition to the previously described mes- sages, the combined instrument panel's dis- play can also show the following: Display text Meaning/Action Alcoguard Restart possible The engine has been switched off for less than 30 minutes - engine starting pos- sible without new test.

IMPORTANT Do not press in the remote control key incor- rectly turned - Hold the end with the detach- able key blade, see page 50. 1. 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 108. 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 starts or until its overheating protection triggers. 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. IMPORTANT If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts - wait for 3 minutes before making a further attempt. Starting capacity increases if the battery is allowed to recover. WARNING Always remove the remote control key from the ignition switch when leaving the car, and make sure that the key position is 0 - in par- ticular if there are children in the car. For information on how this works - see page 81. Keyless drive* Follow steps 2–3 for starting petrol and diesel engines. For more information on Keyless drive - see page 55. NOTE A prerequisite for the car to start is that one of the car's remote control keys with the Keyless drive* function is in the passenger compartment or cargo area. WARNING Never remove the remote control key from the car while driving or during towing. Stop the engine To switch off the engine: 1 If the car is moving then it is enough to press the START/STOP ENGINE button to start the car. 112 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. • Press START/STOP ENGINE - the engine stops. • If the car has an automatic gearbox and the gear selector is not in a position P or if the car is moving - Press twice or hold the START/STOP ENGINE button depressed until the engine stops. Steering lock A mechanical noise can be perceived when the steering lock unlocks or locks. • The steering lock unlocks when the remote control key is in the ignition switch2 and the START/STOP ENGINE button is depressed. • The steering lock locks when the driver's door is opened after the engine has been switched off. Key positions For information on the remote control key's dif- ferent key positions - see page 80 2 Cars with Keyless drive must have a remote control key inside the passenger compartment. 03 Your driving environment Starting the engine 03 113 03 Your driving environment Starting the engine – Flexifuel General information about starting with Flexifuel The engine is started in the same way as in a petrol-engined car. 03 In the event of starting difficulties If the engine does not start at the first start attempt: • Make further attempts to start with the START/STOP ENGINE button. If the engine still does not start The outside temperature is lower than +5 °C: 1. Connect the engine block heater for at least 1 hour. 2. Make further attempts to start with the START/STOP ENGINE button. IMPORTANT If the engine does not start despite repeated start attempts, you are recommended to contact an authorised Volvo workshop. WARNING The engine block heater is powered by high voltage. Fault tracing and repair of an elec- tric engine block heater and its electrical connections must only be carried out by a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. NOTE Points to remember for carrying reserve fuel: • In the event of stalling due to an empty fuel tank, bioethanol E85 from a reserve fuel can may make the engine difficult to start in extreme cold. This is avoided by filling the reserve fuel can with 95 octane petrol. For more information on Flexifuel's bioethanol E 85 fuel, see page 275 and 363. Engine block heater* Electrical input to the engine block heater. When the temperature is expected to be lower than –10 °C and the car has been refuelled with bioethanol E85, an engine block heater should be used for about 2 hours to facilitate the quick starting of the engine. The lower the temperature, the longer the time required with the engine block heater. At -20 °C the heater should be used for approx. 3 hours. Cars intended for E85 have an electric engine block heater*. Starting and driving with a pre- heated engine involves significantly lower emissions and reduced fuel consumption. For this reason you should aim to use the engine block heater throughout the winter months. 114 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. Fuel adaptation Flexifuel engines can be driven on both 95 octane unleaded petrol and bioethanol E85. Both fuels are filled in the common fuel tank so that any variations of mixing ratios between these two fuels is possible. If the fuel tank is filled with petrol after the car has been driven on bioethanol E85 (or vice versa) then the engine may run slightly unevenly for a time. For this reason it is impor- tant to allow the engine to accustom itself (adapt) to the new fuel mixture. Adaptation takes place automatically when the car is driven for a short period at an even speed. IMPORTANT After the fuel mixture in the tank has been changed an adaptation should be made by driving at an even speed for about 15 minutes. If the battery has been discharged or discon- nected then a slightly longer period of driving is required for the adaptation as the memory for the electronics has been cleared. 03 Your driving environment Starting the engine – Flexifuel 03 115 03 Your driving environment Starting the engine – external battery Jump starting 03 If the battery is flat then the car can be started with current from another battery. When jump starting the car, the following steps are recommended to avoid short circuits or other damage: 1. Insert the remote control key in key posi- tion 0, see page 80. 2. Check that the donor battery has a voltage of 12 V. If the donor battery is installed in another car - switch off the donor car's engine and make sure that the two cars do not touch each other. 3. 116 4. Connect one of the red jump lead's clamps to the donor battery's positive terminal (1). IMPORTANT Connect the start cable carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in the engine compartment. 5. Open the clips on the front cover of the battery in your car and remove the cover, see page 328. 6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp onto the car's positive terminal (2). 7. Connect one of the black jump lead's clamps to the donor battery's negative ter- minal (3). 8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting at the top, the outer screw head (4). 9. Check that the jump lead clamps are affixed securely so that there are no sparks during the starting procedure. 10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and allow it to run a few minutes at a speed slightly higher than idle approx. 1500 rpm. 11. Start the engine in the car with the dis- charged battery. IMPORTANT Do not touch the crocodile clips during the start procedure. There is a risk of sparks forming. 12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order - first the black and then the red. > Make sure that none of the black jump lead's clamps comes into contact with the battery's positive terminal or the clamp connected to the red jump lead!
