WARNING • The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A spark can be formed if a jump lead is con- nected incorrectly, and this can be enough for the battery to explode. • The battery contains sulphuric acid, which can cause serious burns. • If sulphuric 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. For more information on the car's battery - see page 327. Manual gearbox Gearshift pattern 5-speed gearbox. Gearshift pattern 6-speed gearbox. The 6-speed box is available in two versions - reverse gear position differs between them. 03 Your driving environment 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. WARNING Get into the habit of always applying the parking brake when parking on a slope - an engaged gear is not sufficient to hold the car in all situations. 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. Gearboxes Automatic gearbox Geartronic* 03 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 73. 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. Apply the parking brake as well, as a precaution - see page 133. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 117 03 Your driving environment Gearboxes IMPORTANT The car must be stationary when position P is selected. 03 WARNING Get into the habit of always applying the parking brake when parking on a slope - the automatic transmission's P position is not sufficient to hold the car in all situations. 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 1 Only models D5 and T6. 118 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 – 6, which is equivalent to the gear that is engaged just then, see page 73. • 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. 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- 03 Your driving environment 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. 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 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. Gearboxes 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 80. 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 depressed and the remote control key must be in position II, see page 80. 03 `` 119 03 Your driving environment Gearboxes Deactivate automatic gear selector inhibitor Automatic gearbox Powershift* 03 If the car cannot be driven, e.g. due to a flat battery, the gear selector must be moved from the P position so that the car can be moved. Lift the rubber mat in the compartment behind the centre console and open the hatch. Fully insert the key blade. Press the key blade down and hold (For information on the key blade, see page 50.) Move the gear selector from the P position. D: Automatic gear positions. M (+/–): Manual gear positions. Powershift is a six-stage automatic gearbox that has double mechanical clutch discs in contrast to a conventional automatic gearbox. A conventional automatic gearbox has a hydraulic torque converter instead that trans- fers power from engine to gearbox. Powershift transmission operates in the same way and has similar controls and functions as the Geartronic automatic transmission, descri- bed in the previous section. Powershift or Geartronic? In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not the car is equipped with Powershift transmis- sion, this can be verified by checking the des- ignation on the decal number (5) under the 120 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. bonnet - see page 352. The designa- tion ”MPS6” means that it is Powershift trans- mission - otherwise it is Geartronic automatic transmission. HSA The HSA (Hill Start Assist) function means that the pressure in the brake system remains for several seconds while the foot is moved from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal before setting off or reversing uphill. The temporary braking effect releases after several seconds or when the driver acceler- ates. To bear in mind The transmission's double clutch has overload protection that is activated if it becomes too hot, e.g. if the car is held stationary with the accelerator pedal on an uphill gradient for a long time. Overheated transmission causes the car to shake and vibrate, and the warning symbol illu- minates and the information display shows a message. The transmission can also overheat during slow driving in queues (10 km/h or slower) on an uphill gradient, or with a trailer hitched. The transmission cools down when the car is stationary, with foot brake depressed and the engine running at idling speed. 03 Your driving environment Gearboxes Overheating during slow driving in queues can be avoided by driving in stages: Stop the car and wait with your foot on the brake pedal until there is a moderate distance to the traffic ahead, drive forward a short distance, and then wait another moment with your foot on the brake pedal. IMPORTANT Use the foot brake to hold the car stationary on an uphill gradient - do not hold the car with the accelerator pedal. The gearbox could then overheat. For important information regarding Powershift transmission and towing - see page 289. Text message and action In some situations the display may show a message at the same time as a symbol is illu- minated. 03 Symbol Display Driving characteristics Action Transm. overheat brake to hold Difficulty in maintaining even speed at con- stant engine speed.

A For fastest cooling: run the engine at idling speed with the gear lever in the N or P position, until the message clears. The table shows three steps with an increased degree of seriousness should the transmission become too hot. In parallel with the display text the driver is also advised that the car's elec- tronics are temporarily changing the driving characteristics. Follow the instructions on the information display where appropriate. NOTE WARNING The table's examples are no indication that the car is defective but instead show that a safety function has been activated inten- tionally to prevent damage to one of the car's components. If a warning symbol combined with the text Transm. overheat park safely is ignored then the heat in the gearbox may become so high that the power transmission between engine and gearbox is temporarily `` 121 03 Your driving environment Gearboxes halted in order to prevent the clutch from malfunctioning - the car then loses drive and is stationary until gearbox temperature has cooled to an acceptable level. 03 For more possible display messages with their respective proposals for solutions concerning automatic transmission, see page 142. A display text clears automatically after the action has been carried out or after one press on the indicator stalk READ button. 122 Quieter and cleaner General information on Start/Stop Function and operation 03 Your driving environment Eco Start/Stop DRIVe* Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo- ration's core values and it influences all of our operations. This target-orientation has resulted in the DRIVe vehicle series whose concept consists of an interaction between several sep- arate energy-saving functions, all with the common purpose of reducing fuel consump- tion, which in turn contributes to reduced exhaust emissions. 03 The engine is switched off - it becomes quieter and cleaner.... Some combinations of engine and gearbox are equipped with a Start and Stop function which engages in the event of e.g. stationary traffic or waiting at traffic lights - the engine is then switched off temporarily and restarts automat- ically when the journey is due to continue. The Start/Stop function gives the driver the opportunity for a more active environmentally conscious way of driving the car by means of being able to allow the engine to stop auto- matically, whenever appropriate. Manual or Automatic Note that there are differences in the Start/Stop function depending on whether the gearbox is manual or automatic. Start/Stop On/Off. Illuminates briefly on activation and for text messages. The engine is auto-stopped. Start/StopThe function is activated automatically when the engine is started with the key. The driver is alerted to the function by means of this symbol on the instru- ment panel illuminating briefly, the display text Auto Start-Stop ON is shown and the green lamp for the On/Off button illuminates. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 123 `` 03 Your driving environment Eco Start/Stop DRIVe* NOTE After starting with the key and each auto- stop the car must first reach 5 km/h before the automatic Start/Stop function is re-acti- vated - following which certain conditions must also be fulfilled, refer to these under the heading "The engine does not auto- stop". 03 All of the car's normal systems such as lighting, radio, etc. work as normal even with an engine that has stopped automatically, except that some equipment may have the function tem- porarily reduced, e.g. the climate control sys- tem's fan speed or extremely high volume on the audio system. Auto-stopping the engine In order that the engine should stop automati- cally the car must be completely stationary: Conditions Declutch, set the gear lever in neutral position and release the clutch pedal - the engine is switched off. Stop the car with the foot brake and then keep your foot on the pedal - the engine stops automat- ically. M/AA A M = Only manual gearbox, A = Only automatic gearbox and model D3. The AUTO START symbol on the information display illumi- nates as verification and reminder that the engine is has stopped automatically. Auto-starting the engine Conditions With the gear lever in neutral posi- tion: Depress the clutch pedal - the engine starts. Engage a suit- able gear and continue the jour- ney. With the gear lever in neutral posi- tion: Depress the accelerator pedal - the engine starts. Engage a suitable gear and continue the journey. The following option is also avail- able on a downhill gradient: Release the foot brake and let the car move off - the engine starts automatically when the speed exceeds normal walking pace. Release the foot pressure on the foot brake - the engine starts automatically and the journey can continue. M/AA A M = Only manual gearbox, A = Only automatic gearbox and model D3. 124 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. Start assistance HSA The foot brake can also be released on an uphill gradient to start the engine automatically - the HSA function means that the car does not roll backwards. HSA (Hill Start Assist) means that the pressure in the brake system remains temporarily avail- able while the driver moves his/her foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal for driving off with the engine having stopped automatically. The temporary braking effect releases after a couple of seconds or when the driver accelerates. There is more information available on HSA on page 120. Gear indicator1 03 Your driving environment Eco Start/Stop DRIVe* The Start/Stop function is disengaged until it is reactivated with the button or until the next time the engine is started with the key. Limitations The engine does not auto-stop Even if the Start/Stop function is activated, the engine does not stop automatically if: 03 M/AA Conditions the driver has opened the seat- belt's buckle. the car does not stop completely. the capacity of the battery is below the minimum permissible level. the engine does not have normal operating temperature. outside temperature is below freezing point or above approx. 30 °C. An essential detail in connection with environ- mental driving is to drive in the right gear and change gear in time. The driver is assisted by an indicator which notifies the driver when it is most advanta- geous to engage the next higher or lower gear - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator). Indication is made with an up or down arrow in the combined instrument panel's right-hand display. Deactivating the Start/Stop function In certain situations, it may advisable to temporarily switch off the automatic Start/Stop function - this is carried out by pressing this button once, at which point the button's lamp goes out. Disengaged Start/Stop func- tion is indicated by the infor- mation display's symbol going out and the message Auto Start-Stop OFF being displayed for about 5 seconds - while the button's lamp goes out at the same time. 1 Only manual gearbox for the DRIVe model. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 125 `` 03 Your driving environment Eco Start/Stop DRIVe* Conditions M/AA Conditions M/AA Conditions M/AA 03 the environment in the passenger compartment differs from the preset values - indicated by the ventilation fan running at a high speed. the car is reversed. battery temperature is below freezing point or above approx. 55 °C. the driver makes sudden steering wheel movements. the exhaust system's particulate filter is full - the temporarily dis- engaged Start/Stop function is reactivated once an automatic cleaning cycle has been per- formed (see page 276).

M/AA 03 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 129 03 Your driving environment All-wheel drive – AWD* All Wheel Drive is always available 03 All Wheel Drive means that the car is driving all four wheels at the same time. The power is automatically distributed between the front and rear wheels. An elec- tronically controlled clutch system distributes the power to the wheels that have the best grip on the current road surface. This provides the best traction and prevents wheel spin. Under normal driving conditions, the majority of power is transmitted to the front wheels. All Wheel Drive improves driving safety in rain, snow and icy conditions. 130 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 03 Your driving environment General The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If one brake circuit is damaged then this will mean that the brakes engage at a deeper level and harder pressure on the pedal is needed to produce the normal braking effect. The driver's brake pedal pressure is assisted by a brake servo. WARNING The brake servo only works when the engine is running. If the brake is used when the engine is switched off then the pedal will feel stiff and more force must be used to brake the car. In very hilly terrain or when driving with a heavy load the brakes can be relieved by using engine braking. Engine braking is most efficiently used if the same gear is used downhill as up. For more general information on heavy loads on the car, see page 359. Anti-lock braking system The car is equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) which prevents the wheels from locking during braking. This means the ability to steer is maintained and it is easier to swerve to avoid a hazard for example. Vibration may be felt in the brake pedal when this is engaged and this is normal. A short test of the ABS system is made auto- matically after the engine has been started when the driver releases the brake pedal. A further automatic test of the ABS system may be made when the car reaches 10 km/h. The test may be experienced as pulses in the brake pedal. Emergency brake lights and automatic hazard warning flashers Emergency brake lights are activated to alert vehicles behind about sudden braking. The function means that the brake light flashes instead of - as in normal braking - shining with a constant glow. Emergency brake lights are activated at speeds above 50 km/h if the ABS system is working and/or in the event of sudden braking. After the car's speed has been slowed below 10 km/h the brake light returns from flashing to the normal constant glow - while at the same time the hazard warning flashers are activated, and they flash until the driver changes engine speed with the accelerator pedal or they are deactivated with their button, see page 91. Foot brake Cleaning the brake discs Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs may result in delayed brake function. This delay is minimised by cleaning the brake linings. Manual cleaning is advisable with wet road sur- faces, prior to long-stay parking and after the car has been washed. Carry this out by braking gently during a short period while en route. Emergency Brake Assistance Emergency Brake Assistance EBA (Emergency Brake Assist) helps to increase brake force and so reduce braking distance. EBA detects the driver's braking style and increases brake force as necessary. The brake force can be rein- forced up to the level when the ABS system is engaged. The EBA function is interrupted when the pressure on the brake pedal is reduced. NOTE When EBA is activated the brake pedal low- ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold) the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the brake pedal is released then all braking ceases. 03 131 03 Your driving environment Foot brake Symbols in the combined instrument panel Symbol Specification Constant glow – Check the brake fluid level. If the level is low, fill with brake fluid and check for the cause of the brake fluid loss. Constant glow for 2 seconds when the engine is started – There was a fault in the brake system's ABS function when the engine was last running. WARNING and If illuminate at the same time, there may be a fault in the brake sys- tem. If the level in the brake fluid reservoir is nor- mal at this stage, drive carefully to the near- est workshop and have the brake system checked - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further before topping up the brake fluid. The reason for the loss of brake fluid must be investigated. 03 132 03 Your driving environment General Applying the parking brake Function A faint electric motor noise can be heard when the electrical parking brake is being applied. The noise can also be heard during the auto- matic function checking of the parking brake. If the car is stationary when the parking brake is applied then it only acts on the rear wheels. If it is applied when the car is moving then the normal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake acts on all four wheels. Brake function changes over to the rear wheels when the car is almost sta- tionary. Low battery voltage If the battery voltage is too low then the parking brake can neither be released nor applied. Connect a donor battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 116. Parking brake control - apply. 1. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly. 2. Press the control. > The combined instrument panel symbol starts flashing - once there is a constant glow it is applied. 3. Release the foot brake pedal and make sure that the car is at a standstill position. • When parking the vehicle, always engage 1st gear (for manual gearbox) or put the gear selector in position P (for automatic gearbox). In an emergency the parking brake can be applied when the vehicle is moving by depress- ing the control. When the control is released or Parking brake the accelerator pedal is depressed the braking is interrupted. NOTE In the event of emergency braking at speeds above 10 km/h a signal sounds during the braking procedure. 03 Parking on a hill If the car is parked facing uphill: • Turn the wheels away from the kerb. If the car is parked facing downhill: • Turn the wheels towards the kerb. WARNING Get into the habit of always applying the parking brake when parking on a slope - leaving the car in gear, or in P if it has auto- matic transmission, is not sufficient to hold the car in all situation. 133 03 Your driving environment Parking brake Disengaging the parking brake NOTE The parking brake can also be released manually by depressing the clutch pedal instead of the brake pedal. Volvo recom- mends the use of the brake pedal. Releasing automatically 1. Start the engine. 2. Engage 1st gear or reverse gear. 3. Ease up the clutch and depress the accel- erator. > The parking brake releases and the combined instrument panel symbol goes out. Cars with automatic gearbox Releasing manually 1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition switch1. 2. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly. 3. Pull the control. > The parking brake releases and the combined instrument panel symbol goes out. 03 134 Parking brake control - release. Cars with manual gearbox Releasing manually 1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition switch.1 2. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly. 3. Pull the control. > The parking brake releases and the combined instrument panel symbol goes out. 1 For a car with the Keyless system: Press START/STOP ENGINE. Releasing automatically 1. Put the seatbelt on. 2. Start the engine. 3. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly. 4. Move the gear selector to position D or R and depress the accelerator. > The parking brake releases and the combined instrument panel symbol goes out. NOTE For safety reasons, the parking brake is only released automatically if the engine is run- ning and the driver is wearing a seatbelt. The parking brake is released immediately on cars with automatic gearbox when the accelerator pedal is depressed and the gear selector is in position D or R. Heavy load uphill A heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the car to roll backward when the parking brake is released automatically on a steep incline. Avoid this by depressing the control while driv- ing off. Release the control when the engine achieves traction. 03 Your driving environment Parking brake Replacing the brake linings The rear brake linings must be replaced at a workshop due to the design of the electric parking brake - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. Symbols and messages in the display Symbol Message Meaning/Action "Message" Read the message on the information display. Park brake not fully released A flashing symbol indicates that the parking brake is applied. If the symbol flashes in any other situation then this means that a fault has arisen. Read the message on the information display. A fault is preventing the parking brake from being released - Try to apply and release the brake. If the fault persists after a few attempts: Visit a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended. Note: A warning signal sounds if the journey is continued with this error message. 03 `` 135 03 Your driving environment Parking brake Symbol Message Meaning/Action Parking brake not applied A fault is preventing the parking brake from being applied - Try to release and apply the brake.

HomeLink(cid:159) is supplied built into the left-hand sun visor. The HomeLink(cid:159) panel consists of three pro- grammable buttons and one indicator lamp. 03 HomeLink(cid:159) is designed not to work if the car is locked from the outside. Save the original remote controls for future programming (e.g. when switching to another car). Delete the button programming when the car is to be sold. Metallic sun visors should not be used in cars fitted with HomeLink(cid:159). This may have an adverse effect on its function. Operation When HomeLink(cid:159) is fully programmed it can be used in place of the separate original remote controls. Depress the programmed button to activate the garage door, alarm system etc. The indi- cator lamp illuminates for the time that the but- ton is kept depressed. NOTE If the ignition is not activated, HomeLink(cid:159) will work for 30 minutes after the driver's door has been opened. The original remote controls can of course be used in parallel with HomeLink(cid:159). If HomeLink(cid:159) is used to operate a garage door or gate, ensure that nobody is in the vicinity of the door or gate while it is in motion. Do not use the HomeLink(cid:159) remote control for any garage door that does not have safety stop and safety reverse. The garage door must react immediately when it detects that something is preventing its movement, and stop directly and reverse. A garage door without these characteristics could cause personal injury. For further information - contact the supplier via the Internet: www.homelink.com. Programming for the first time The first step erases the memory in HomeLink(cid:159) and must not be carried out when only one individual button is being reprogram- med. 1. Depress the two outer buttons and do not release until the indicator lamp starts to flash after approx. 20 seconds. The flash- ing indicates that HomeLink(cid:159) is set in "learn mode" and is ready to be pro- grammed. 2. Position the original remote control 5-30 cm from HomeLink(cid:159).

Test the programming by depressing the programmed button on HomeLink(cid:159) and watching the indicator lamp: • Constant glow: The indicator lamp illu- minates with a constant glow when the button is kept depressed, this indicates that the programming is complete. The garage door, gate or similar should now be activated when the programmed HomeLink(cid:159) button is depressed. • Glow not constant: The indicator lamp flashes quickly for approx. 2 seconds and then changes over to a constant glow for approx. 3 seconds. This proc- ess is repeated for approx. 20 seconds and indicates that the device has a "roll- ing code". The garage door, gate or sim- ilar is not activated when the pro- grammed HomeLink(cid:159) button is depressed. Continue the programming in accordance with the following. 5. Locate the "programming button1" on the receiver for the garage door for example, normally located close to the antenna's bracket on the receiver. If you have diffi- culty in finding the button - consult the supplier's manual, or contact the supplier via the Internet: www.homelink.com. 6. Depress and release the "programming button".
