Keyless drive* Follow steps 2–3 for starting petrol and diesel engines. For more information on Keyless drive - see page 53. 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: • Press START/STOP ENGINE - the engine stops. 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 WARNING To remote-start the engine, the following criteria must be met: • The car must be supervised • There must be no people or animals inside the car • The car must not be parked in a closed, unventilated area - the exhaust gases may seriously injure humans and ani- mals. 03 Your driving environment 03 Starting the engine If the gear selector is not in P position or if the car is moving: • Press twice on START/STOP ENGINE or hold the 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 78 Remote start - ERS* General information on ERS Remote start (ERS – Engine Remote Start) means that the car's engine can be started remotely using the remote control key. This is so that the passenger compartment can be warmed up/cooled down before departure. The climate control starts with the same set- tings that were being used when the car was parked. An ERS-started engine is activated for a maxi- mum of 15 minutes, then it is switched off. After two ERS-activations the engine must be started in the normal way before ERS can be re-used. The ERS option is only available on cars with automatic gearbox. NOTE Follow local/national rules/regulations on idling. 2 Cars with Keyless drive must have a remote control key inside the passenger compartment. 114 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 03 Your driving environment Operation Remote control buttons for remote start. Locking Approach lighting Information3 Remote starting the engine Maximum distance for enabling remote star- ting of the engine is approx. 30 metres in unob- structed space - in addition, the car must be locked. To remote start the engine: 3 Only on PCC key, see page 47. 4 Read about the PCC key on page 47. 5 Read about Approach lighting on page 46 and 94. 1. Briefly press on the remote control key's lock button (1). 2. Follow this immediately afterwards with a long press - at least 2 seconds - on button (2). If the conditions for ERS are fulfilled then the following takes place: 1. All direction indicators flash quickly several times. 2. The engine starts. 3. All direction indicators illuminate with a constant glow for 3 seconds to verify that the engine has started. NOTE After remote starting, the car continues to be locked but with the alarm deactivated. With PCC4 key The light indication for Approach lighting5 flashes several times when the button is pressed and then goes to constant glow if all criteria for ERS have been fulfilled. However, this does not mean that ERS has started the engine. Starting the engine To check whether ERS has started the engine, the user can press the Information button (3) - if the engine has started, there is a light indi- cation on the button for Approach lighting (2). Active functions The following functions are activated with a remote started engine: • Ventilation system • Audio/video system. Deactivated functions The following functions are deactivated with a remote started engine: • headlamps • Position lamps • Number plate lighting • Windscreen wiper. the engine is switched off The following steps switch off an ERS-started engine: • The remote control key's lock button (1) is depressed • The car is unlocked • A door is opened 03 115 03 Your driving environment Starting the engine • Accelerator pedal or brake pedal is depressed • The gear selector is moved out of P posi- tion • There is less than approx.10 litres left in the fuel tank • Active ERS time passes 15 minutes. When an ERS-started engine is switched off, all direction indicators illuminate with a con- stant glow for 3 seconds. Symbols and messages in the display In situations where the ERS function fails or is interrupted, a symbol is shown on the instru- ment panel, supplemented by an explanatory message - Follow any recommendation given.

ERS interrupted because someone is in the passenger compartment. A An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. 03 117 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 289 and 384. 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. 118 * 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 03 119 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 78. 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. 120 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 345. 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! 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 344. 03 Your driving environment Gearboxes Gear indicator1 IMPORTANT The operating temperature of the gearbox is checked in order to prevent damage to any of the drive system's components. In the event of a risk of overheating a warning symbol illuminates on the instrument panel combined with a text message - In which case, follow the recommendation given. Manual gearbox Gearshift pattern 6-speed gearbox. The 6-speed box is available in two versions - reverse gear position differs between them. 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. Gearshift pattern 5-speed gearbox. WARNING Always apply the parking brake when park- ing on a slope - leaving the car in gear is not sufficient to hold the car in all situation. 1 Only manual gearbox for the D2 model. 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 - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) - which notifies the driver when it is most advantageous to engage the next higher or lower gear in order to obtain the lowest possible fuel consumption. However, taking into consideration characteristics such as performance and vibration-free running, it may be advantageous to change gear at a higher engine speed. Indication is made with an up or down arrow in the combined instrument panel's right-hand display. 03 121 03 Your driving environment 03 Gearboxes Reverse gear inhibitor The reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possibil- ity of mistakenly attempting to engage reverse gear during normal forward travel. • Follow the gearing pattern printed on the gear lever and start from neutral position, N before moving it to R position. • Only engage reverse gear when the car is stationary. 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. Automatic gearbox Geartronic* NOTE The gear selector must be in P position to allow the car to be locked and alarmed. IMPORTANT The car must be stationary when position P is selected. WARNING Always apply the parking brake when park- ing on a slope - the automatic transmis- sion's P position is not sufficient to hold the car in all situation. Reverse position - R The car must be stationary when R position 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 N position. Drive position - 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 D position from R position. D: Automatic gear positions. +/–: 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 71. 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 137. 122 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 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 D position 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 71. • 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. 2 Only models D5 and T6. 03 Your driving environment 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)2 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 D position to the end posi- Gearboxes tion at +/– - the instrument panel display shifts the indication from D to the figure 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. 03 123 03 Your driving environment Gearboxes 03 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. 124 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 78. Shiftlock – Neutral (N) If the gear selector is in N position and the car has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irre- spective 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 78. Deactivate automatic gear selector inhibitor 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 48.) Move the gear selector from the P position. 03 Your driving environment sion, this can be verified by checking the des- ignation on the transmission's label under the bonnet - see page 370. 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 03 Gearboxes 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. 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 304. Text message and action In some situations the display may show a message at the same time as a symbol is illu- minated. Automatic gearbox Powershift* D: Automatic gear positions. +/–: Manual gear positions. Powershift is a 6-stage automatic gearbox that has double mechanical clutch discs in contrast to a conventional automatic gearbox. A con- ventional automatic gearbox has a hydraulic torque converter instead that transfers 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?

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 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. WARNING 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 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. For more possible display messages with their respective proposals for solutions concerning automatic transmission, see page 200. A display text clears automatically after the action has been carried out or after one press on the indicator stalk OK button. 126 Quieter and cleaner General information on Start/Stop Function and operation 03 Your driving environment DRIVe Start/Stop* 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 engine and gearbox combinations come fitted 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. The Start/Stop 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. 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- * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 127 `` 03 Your driving environment DRIVe Start/Stop* tem's fan speed or extremely high volume on the audio system. Auto-stopping the engine The following is required for the engine to auto- stop: 03 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. A M = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox. M/AA 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 or press 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 = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox. 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 125. 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. 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. 128 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 03 Your driving environment Limitations The engine does not auto-stop Even if the Start/Stop function is activated, the engine does not stop automatically if: Conditions the car has not achieved approx. 5 km/h (= fast walking pace) first after a key start or the last auto-stop. the driver has opened the seat- belt's buckle. 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. the environment in the passenger compartment differs from the preset values - indicated by the ventilation fan running at a high speed.

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. 134 * 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 378. 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 92. 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. Maintenance To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi- ble, follow the Volvo service intervals as speci- 03 135 03 Your driving environment 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. Foot brake fied in the Service and Warranty Booklet, see page 328. 03 IMPORTANT The wear on the brake system's compo- nents must be checked regularly. Contact a workshop for information about the procedure or engage a workshop to carry out the inspection - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. 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. 136 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 120. 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 Always apply the parking brake when park- ing on a slope - leaving the car in gear, or in P if it has automatic transmission, is not suf- ficient to hold the car in all situation. 137 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. 03 138 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 `` 139 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.

DRIVER SUPPORT 04 Driver support DSTC – Stability and traction control system General information on DSTC The stability and traction control system, DSTC (Dynamic Stability & Traction Control) helps the driver to avoid skidding and improves the car's traction. The activation of the system during braking may be noticed as a throbbing sound. The car may accelerate slower than expected when the accelerator pedal is depressed. Involuntary wheel locking while driving can, amongst other things, impair the driver's ability to steer the car. Corner Traction Control – CTC CTC compensates for understeer and allows higher than normal acceleration in a bend with- out wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. on an arcing motorway entrance road to quickly reach the prevailing traffic speed. 04 Active Yaw Control The function limits the driving and brake force of the wheels individually in order to stabilise the car. Trailer Stability Assist* - TSA The function serves to stabilise the car and trailer combination if it begins to snake, see page 303. Spin Control The function prevents the driving wheels from spinning against the road surface during accel- eration. Traction control system The function is active at low speed and trans- fers power from the driving wheel that is spin- ning to the one that is not. Engine drag control - EDC EDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun- tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or engine braking when driving in low gears on slippery road surfaces. NOTE The function is deactivated if the driver selects Sport mode. Operation Selection of level - Sport mode The DSTC system is always activated - it can- not be deactivated. However, the driver can select the Sport mode, which allows for a more active driving experi- ence. In Sport mode the system detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel movements and cornering are more active than 146 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. in normal driving and then allows controlled skidding with the rear section up to a certain level before it intervenes and stabilises the car. If the driver stops a controlled skid by releasing the accelerator pedal then the DSTC system intervenes and stabilises the car. With Sport mode, maximum traction is obtained if the car has become stuck, or when driving on a loose surface - e.g. sand or deep snow. Proceed as follows to select Sport mode: 1. Press the centre console button MY CAR and search in the display screen's menu system and locate My V60 DSTC. (For information on the menu system, see page 202). 2. Uncheck the box and back out of the menu system with EXIT. > The system then allows a more sporty driving style. The Sport mode is active until the driver dese- lects it or until the engine is switched off - after the engine is started the next time the DSTC system is back in its normal mode again. 04 Driver support DSTC – Stability and traction control system Symbols and messages in the display Symbol Message Specification DSTC Temporarily OFF DSTC system temporarily reduced due to excessive brake disc temperature. - The function is reac- tivated automatically when the brakes have cooled.
