Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - symbols and messages The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checking whether a space is sufficiently large and then turning the steering wheel and steering the car into the space. The combined instrument panel uses symbols, graphics and text to show when different operations should be performed. The combined instrument panel can show dif- ferent combinations of symbols and text with varying content - sometimes with a self- explanatory piece of advice on appropriate action. If a message shows that PAP is disengaged, contact with an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

BLIS is a driver's aid intended to provide a warning about: • vehicles in the car's blind spot • rapidly approaching vehicles in the left and right-hand lanes closest to the car. The BLIS function CTA (p. 255) (Cross Traffic Alert) is a driver's aid intended to provide a warning about: • crossing traffic when the car is reversed. WARNING BLIS is a supplementary aid and does not work in all situations. BLIS is no substitute for a safe driving style and the use of rearview and door mir- rors. BLIS can never replace the driver's responsibility and attention - it is always the driver's responsibility to change lanes in a safe manner.

Activate/deactivate BLIS BLIS is activated when the engine is started. This is confirmed by the indicator lamps in the door panels flashing once. When BLIS is deactivated/activated the lamp in the button extinguishes/illuminates and the combined instrument panel confirms the change with a text message. The door panel indicator lamps flash once upon activation. To extinguish the message: • Press the left stalk switch OK button. or • Wait approx. 5 seconds - the message extinguishes. When BLIS operates 07 Button for activating/deactivating. The BLIS function can be deactivated/acti- vated by pressing the BLIS button on the centre console. Some combinations of the selected equip- ment leave no vacant space for a button in the centre console - in which case the func- tion is handled by the car's menu system (p. 103) MY CAR. Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone for rapidly approaching vehicle. The BLIS function is active at speeds above approx. 10 km/h. The system is designed to react when: 254 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. • the driver's vehicle is overtaken by other vehicles • the driver's vehicle is rapidly caught up by another vehicle. When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, the door panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a con- stant glow. If the driver activates the direction indicator on the same side as the warning in this situation then the BLIS lamp will change from a constant glow to flashing with a more intense light. WARNING BLIS does not work in sharp bends. BLIS does not work when the car is being reversed. Limitations • Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can reduce functionality and make it impossi- ble to provide warnings. BLIS cannot detect hazards if it is covered. • Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in the area of the sensors. • BLIS is deactivated when a trailer is con- nected to the car's electrical system. IMPORTANT Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions' components or repainting the bumpers must only be performed by a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended. Related information • BLIS* (Blind Spot Information System) (p. 253) • BLIS - symbols and messages (p. 257) CTA (Cross Traffic Alert)* CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) is a driver aid intended to warn about crossing traffic when the car is reversing. CTA is a supplement to BLIS (p. 253). Activate/deactivate CTA CTA is activated when the engine is started. This is confirmed by the indicator lamps for BLIS in the door panels flashing once. 07 Driver support WARNING CTA is a supplementary aid and does not work in all situations. CTA is no substitute for a safe driving style and the use of rearview and door mirrors. CTA can never replace the driver's respon- sibility and attention - it is always the driv- er's responsibility to reverse in a safe man- ner. When CTA operates On/Off for parking assistance and CTA sensors. The CTA function can be deactivated with the Parking assistance (p. 240) On/Off button. The BLIS lamp flashes once on activation Principle for CTA. CTA supplements the BLIS function by being able to see crossing traffic from the side dur- ing reversing, such as when reversing out of a parking space. CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles. In favourable conditions, it may also be able to detect smaller objects, such as cyclists and pedestrians. 07 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 255 07 Driver support || CTA is only active during reversing and is activated automatically when the gearbox's reverse position is selected. • If CTA detects something approaching from the side, an acoustic warning signal sounds. The signal comes from either the left or the right-hand speaker, depending on the direction from which the object is approaching. • CTA also warns by illuminating the BLIS lamps. • An additional warning is provided in the form of an illuminated icon in the display screen's PAS graphics (p. 240). Limitations CTA does not perform optimally in all situa- tions, but has a certain limitation - for exam- ple, the CTA sensors cannot "see" through other parked vehicles or obstructing objects. Here are some examples of when CTA's "field of vision" may be limited from the beginning and approaching vehicles cannot therefore be detected until they are very close: 07 256 The car is parked deep inside a parking slot. Blind CTA sector. Sector where CTA can detect/"see". In an angled parking slot CTA can be completely "blind" on one side. However, when the driver is slowly reversing the car, the angle is changed in relation to the vehicle/object that is blocking, at which the blind sector rapidly decreases. Examples of further limitations: • Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can reduce functionality and make it impossi- ble to provide warnings. CTA cannot detect hazards if it is covered. • Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in the area of the sensors. • CTA is deactivated when a trailer is con- nected to the car’s electrical system. IMPORTANT Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions' components or repainting the bumpers must only be performed by a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended. Maintenance Sensor location. The sensors for the CTA functions are located inside the rear wing/bumper on each side of the car. • To ensure optimal functionality the areas in front of the sensors must be kept clean. Related information • BLIS* (Blind Spot Information System) (p. 253) • BLIS - symbols and messages (p. 257) 07 Driver support Adjustable steering force* Steering force increases with the speed of the car to give the driver enhanced sensitivity. The steering is firmer and more immediate on motorways. Steering is light and requires no extra effort when parking and at low speed. The driver can choose between three differ- ent levels of steering force for road respon- siveness or steering sensitivity. The setting is made in the menu system MY CAR. For a description of the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 103). This setting is not accessible when the car is moving. NOTE In certain situations the power steering may become too hot and then needs to be temporarily cooled - during this time the power steering operates with reduced power and turning the steering wheel may then be perceived to be slightly heavier. In parallel with the temporarily reduced steering assistance the combined instru- ment panel shows a message. Related information • MY CAR (p. 103) 07 BLIS - symbols and messages In situations where the BLIS (p. 253) and CTA (p. 255) functions fail or are interrupted, the combined instrument panel may show a sym- bol, supplemented by an explanatory mes- sage. Follow any recommendation given. Message examples: Message Specification CTA OFF BLIS and CTA OFF Trailer attached BLIS and CTA Serv- ice required CTA is manually switched off - BLIS is active. BLIS and CTA are tempo- rarily non-operational because a trailer is con- nected to the car's electri- cal system.

In order to ensure that a new breath test is carried 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. 08 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 261 08 Starting and driving || Calibration and service The Alcolock must be checked and calibrated at a workshop2 every 12 months. 30 days before recalibration is necessary the combined instrument panel shows the mes- sage Alcoguard Calibr. required. If calibra- tion is not carried out within these 30 days then normal engine starting will be blocked - only starting with the Bypass function will then be possible, see the following heading "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 reappears each time the engine is started - only recalibration at a workshop2 can clear the message 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 to +85 -5 to +10 -40 to -5 08 10 60 180 2 An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. At temperatures below -20 ºC or above +60 ºC the Alcolock requires additional power supply. The combined instrument panel shows Alcoguard insert power cable. In which case, connect the power supply cable from the glovebox and wait until indicator lamp (6) is green. 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 the Alcolock is out of order, it is possible to bypass the Alcolock in order to drive the car. NOTE All Bypass activation is logged and saved in memory, see Recording data (p. 16). After the Bypass function has been activated the combined instrument panel shows Alcoguard Bypass enabled the whole time while driving and can only be reset by a work- shop2. 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 workshop2. Activating the Bypass function • Depress and hold the left-hand stalk switch OK button and the button for haz- ard warning flashers simultaneously for approx. 5 seconds - the combined instru- ment panel 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 workshop2. Activating the Emergency function • Depress and hold the left-hand stalk switch OK button and the button for haz- ard warning flashers simultaneously for approx. 5 seconds - the combined instru- ment panel 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 workshop2.

IMPORTANT Do not press in the remote control key incorrectly turned - hold the end with the detachable key blade, see Detachable key blade - detaching/attaching (p. 155). 1. Insert the remote control key in the igni- tion switch and press it in to its end posi- tion. Note that if the car is equipped with Alcolock* then a breath test must first be approved before the engine can be started. For more information on the Alcolock, see Alcolock* (p. 259). 2. Hold the clutch pedal fully depressed3. (For cars with automatic gearbox - depress the brake pedal.) 3. Press the START/STOP ENGINE button and then release it. When the engine is started the starter motor works until the engine is started or until the overheating protection triggers. 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 Never remove the remote control key from the ignition switch after starting the engine or when the car is being towed. 08 If the car is moving then it is enough to press the START/STOP ENGINE button to start the engine. 264 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 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 particular if there are children in the car. For information on how this works - see Key positions (p. 70). NOTE The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types during cold starting. This is done in order that the emissions system can reach normal oper- ating temperature as quickly as possible, which minimises exhaust emissions and protects the environment. Keyless drive* Follow steps 2-3 for keyless (p. 159) starting of the engine. NOTE A prerequisite for the engine to start is that one of the car's remote control keys with the Keyless drive function is in the passen- ger compartment or cargo area. WARNING Never remove the remote control key from the car while driving or during towing.

This is so that the passenger com- partment can be warmed up/cooled down before departure. The climate control system and audio system start with the same settings that were in use when the car was parked. An ERS-started engine is activated for a maximum 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 optional ERS function is available on most cars with automatic gearbox. NOTE The service life of the remote control key's battery is affected by the ERS function. In the event of frequent use of ERS the bat- tery should therefore be changed once per year, see Remote control key/PCC - replacing the battery (p. 158). 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 animals.

If the conditions for ERS are fulfilled then the following takes place: 1. The direction indicators flash quickly sev- eral times. 2. The engine starts. 3. The 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 deactivated movement detector*. With PCC6 key The light indication for Approach lighting7 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. To check whether ERS has started the engine, the user can press the button (5) - if the engine has started, there is a light indica- tion by the buttons (2) and (3). Active functions The following functions are activated with a remote started engine: • Ventilation system • Audio/video system • Approach light duration. Deactivated functions The following functions are deactivated with a remote started engine: • Headlamps • Position lamps • Number plate lighting • Windscreen wiper. ERS is interrupted The following steps switch off an ERS-started engine: • The remote control key's button (1), (2) or (4) is depressed • The car is unlocked • A door is opened • Accelerator pedal or brake pedal is depressed • The gear selector is moved out of P posi- tion • There is approx.10 litres left in the fuel tank 6 For more information on the PCC key, see PCC* - unique functions (p. 153). 7 For more information on Approach lighting, see Remote control key - functions (p. 151) and Approach light duration (p. 89). 08 Starting and driving • Active ERS time exceeds 15 minutes.

The engine is started in the same way as in a pet- rol-driven car. block heater should be activated for at least 2 hours. • In outside temperatures lower than -20 °C, the electric engine block heater should be activated for at least 3 hours. • Make further attempts to start with the START/STOP ENGINE button. • Check that the engine block heater has been activated and, where appropriate, activate it for the time specified above. Engine block heater* WARNING IMPORTANT The engine block heater is powered by high voltage. Fault tracing and repair of an electric engine block heater and its electri- cal connections must only be carried out by a workshop - an authorised Volvo work- shop 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 E85 fuel, see Fuel - bioethanol E85 (p. 304). In the event of starting difficulties If the engine does not start at the first start attempt: If the engine does not start despite repea- ted start attempts, you are recommended to contact an authorised Volvo workshop. 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 important 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. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 08 }} 269 Electrical input to the engine block heater. Cars intended for E85 have an electric engine block heater. Starting and driving with a pre- heated engine means significantly reduced emissions and reduced fuel consumption. For this reason you should aim to use the engine block heater throughout the winter months. • In outside temperatures between +5 °C and -10 °C, the electric engine block heater should be activated for at least 1 hour. • In outside temperatures between -10 °C and -20 °C, the electric engine 08 Starting and driving || 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. Related information • Jump starting with battery (p. 270) • Starting the engine (p. 264) Jump starting with battery If the starter battery (p. 361) is discharged then the car can be started with current from another battery. When jump starting the car, the following steps are recommended to avoid short cir- cuits or other damage: 1. Insert the remote control key in key posi- tion 0 (p. 70). 2. Check that the donor battery has a volt- age 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. 08 270 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 Starter battery - replacement (p. 363). 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 terminal (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. Gearboxes There are two main types of gearbox. Manual gearbox and automatic gearbox. • Manual gearbox (p. 271) • Automatic gearbox - Geartronic (p. 273) and Powershift (p. 276) 08 Starting and driving Manual gearbox The function of the gearbox is to change the gear ratio depending on speed and power requirements. IMPORTANT To prevent damage to any drive system components, the working temperature of the gearbox is checked. If there is a risk of overheating, a warning symbol is illumi- nated in the combined instrument panel in conjunction with a text message being shown. Follow the recommendation given in the text message. Related information • Automatic gearbox -- Geartronic* (p. 273) 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. Related information • Starting the engine (p. 264) 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. WARNING Always apply the parking brake when parking on a slope - leaving the car in gear is not sufficient to hold the car in all situa- tions. 08 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 271 08 Starting and driving || Reverse gear inhibitor The reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possi- bility 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. • Engage reverse gear only when the car is stationary. NOTE With the upper variant of the shifting pat- tern for 6-speed gearbox (see previous illustration) - first press down the gear lever in the N position in order to engage reverse gear. Related information • Gearboxes (p. 271) • Transmission fluid - grade and volume (p. 399) Gear shift indicator* The gear shift indicator notifies the driver when it is appropriate to engage the next higher or lower gear. An essential detail in connection with environmental driving is to drive in the right gear and to change gear in plenty of time. Manual gearbox Gear shift indicator for man- ual gearbox. Only one marker is illuminated at a time - during normal driving it is only illuminated in the centre. When gearing up/down as recommended, the upper one is illuminated at +" or the lower at "-", marked red in the illustration. Automatic gearbox An indicator is available as an aid on some variants - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) - which notifies the driver when it is appropriate to engage the next higher or lower gear in order to obtain the lowest possible fuel consump- tion. However, taking into consideration cha- racteristics such as performance and vibra- tion-free running, it may be advantageous to change gear at a higher engine speed. The framed number indicates the current gear. With "Analogue" combined instrument panel, the gear positions and indicator arrows are shown in the instrument's centre. 08 Combined instrument panel "Digital" with gear shift indicator. 272 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. Automatic gearbox -- Geartronic* The Geartronic gearbox has two different gear modes - Automatic and Manual. D: Automatic gear positions. +/–: Manual gear positions. S8: Sport mode*. Combined instrument panel (p. 59) shows the position of the gear selector using the follow- ing indications: P, R, N, D, S*, 1, 2, 3 etc. Gear positions Automatic gear positions are indicated on the right of the combined instrument panel. (Only one marker is illumi- nated at a time - the one showing the current gear selector position.) Symbol "S" for Sport mode is ORANGE when the mode is active. Parking position - P Select position P when starting the engine or when the car is parked. • In order to be able to move the gear selector from P-position, the brake pedal must first be depressed firmly. The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P position is engaged. Also apply the parking brake (p. 293), as a precaution. 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 posi- tion P is selected. WARNING Always apply the parking brake when parking on a slope - the automatic trans- mission'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. 08 Starting and driving 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. Geartronic – Manual gear positions (+S-) The driver can also change gear manually using the Geartronic automatic gearbox. The car engine-brakes when the accelerator pedal is released. The manual gear position is reached by moving the lever to the side from position D to the end position at "+S-". The combined instrument panel's symbol "+S-" changes colour from WHITE to ORANGE and the digits 1, 2, 3 etc. are displayed in a box, corresponding to the gear that has just been selected. • Move the lever forwards towards "+" (plus) to change up a gear and release the lever, which returns to its rest position between + and –. or 8 The "Sport mode" function is not available in a V60 Plug-in Hybrid - only "+" and "-". * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 08 }} 273 08 Starting and driving || • Pull the lever back towards "–" (minus) to change down a gear and release it. The manual gearshift mode "+S–" 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 position at D. NOTE If the gearbox has a Sport programme then the gearbox will only become manual after the gear selector has been moved forwards or backwards in its "+S–" posi- tion. The combined instrument panel then changes indication from S to show which of the gears 1, 2, 3 etc. is engaged. Paddles* As a supplement to manual gear changing with the gear selector there are also controls located on the steering wheel, so-called "paddles". To be able to change gear with the steering wheel paddles they must first be activated. This is by means of pulling one of the paddles toward the steering wheel - the combined 08 instrument panel then changes indication from "D" to a figure, which indicates the cur- rent gear. To then change gear one step: • Pull one of the paddles backwards - towards the steering wheel - and release. Both steering wheel "paddles". "-": Selects the next lower gear. "+": Selects the next higher gear. A gear change occurs at each pull of the pad- dle provided that the engine speed does not leave the permitted range. After each gear change the combined instru- ment panel changes figure to show the cur- rent gear. NOTE Automatic deactivation If the steering wheel paddles are not used then they are deactivated after a short time - this is indicated when the combined instrument panel switches indication, from the figure for the current gear back to "D". The exception is during engine braking - then the paddles are activated as long as engine braking is in progress. Manual deactivation The steering wheel paddle shifters can also be deactivated manually: • Pull both paddles toward the steering wheel and hold until the combined instrument panel changes character from the figure for the current gear to "D". The paddles can also be used with the gear selector in Sport mode* - then the paddles are constantly activated without being deacti- vated. 274 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. Geartronic - Sport mode* (S)9 The Sport programme provides sportier characteristics 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. To activate Sport mode: • Move the gear selector to the side from D position to the end position at "+S–" - the combined instrument panel changes indi- cation 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 selector from D position to the end position at "+S–" - the combined instru- ment panel changes indication from D to the figure 110. 2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the lever forward towards "+" (plus) twice - the dis- play shifts the indication from 1 to 3. 3. Release the brake and accelerate care- fully. 9 With some engines only. 10 If the car has Sport mode* then "S" is shown first. 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 gear- box control program has a protective down- shift inhibitor which prevents the kick-down function. 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 depend- ing on engine speed. The car changes up 08 Starting and driving when the engine reaches its maximum speed in order to prevent damage to the engine. Related information • Transmission fluid - grade and volume (p. 399) 08 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 275 08 Starting and driving Automatic gearbox -- Powershift* An automatic gearbox with Powershift differs from an automatic gearbox with Geartronic (p. 273), in that it has double mechanical clutch discs. D: Automatic gear positions. +S–: Manual gear positions. S: Sport mode*. The Powershift automatic gearbox transmits the motive force from the engine to the drive wheels with double mechanical clutch discs, as opposed to Geartronic which instead uses a hydraulic torque converter. Powershift transmission operates in the same way and has similar controls and functions as the Geartronic automatic transmission. One exception is Geartronic's Winter mode, see the section "Geartronic - Winter mode" (p. 08 273). Powershift enables driving away on a slippery road surface if 2nd gear is engaged manually instead of 3rd gear (Geartronic). Powershift or Geartronic The model with Powershift transmission should not be towed as it is dependent on the engine running in order to receive sufficient lubrication. If towing still has to take place, the route must be as short as possible and then with very low speed. In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not the car is equipped with Powershift trans- mission, this can be verified by checking the designation on the gearbox label under the bonnet - see Type designations (p. 386). The designation ”MPS6” means that it is Powershift transmission - otherwise it is Geartronic automatic transmission. To bear in mind The transmission's double clutch has over- load 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 illuminates and the combined instrument panel shows a message. The transmission can also overheat during slow driving in queues (10 km/h or slower) on an uphill gradi- ent, 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 for- ward a short distance, and then wait another moment with your foot on the brake pedal. IMPORTANT Use the foot brake to hold the car station- ary on an uphill gradient - do not hold the car with the accelerator pedal. The gear- box could then overheat. For important information regarding Power- shift transmission and towing, see Towing (p. 313). Text message and action In some situations the combined instrument panel may show a text message at the same time as a symbol is illuminated. 276 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 08 Starting and driving Symbol Message Driving characteristics Action Transm. overheat brake to hold Difficulty in maintaining even speed at constant engine speed. Transmission overheated. Keep the car stationary using the foot brake.A Transm. overheat park safely Transm. cooling let engine run Significant pulling in the car's traction. No drive due to overheated gearbox. Transmission overheated. Park the car immediately in a safe manner.A Transmission overheated. For fastest cooling: Run the engine at idling speed with the gear lever in the N or P position until the message clears. 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 text message, the driver is also advised that the car's electronics are temporarily changing the driving characteristics. Follow the instructions in the text message where appropriate. NOTE The examples in the table are no indication of the car being defective, but show that a safety function has been activated with a view to preventing damage to any 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 temporar- ily halted in order to prevent the clutch from malfunctioning - the car then loses drive and is stationary until gearbox tem- perature has cooled to an acceptable level. For more possible text messages with their respective proposals for solutions concerning automatic gearbox, see Messages (p. 101). A text message extinguishes automatically after the action has been carried out or after one press on the indicator stalk OK button. 08 277 08 Starting and driving Gear selector inhibitor There are two different types of gear selector inhibitor - mechanical and automatic. 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 systems: Parking position (P) Stationary car with engine running: • Keep your foot on the brake pedal when moving the gear selector to another posi- tion. 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 key position II (p. 70). Shiftlock – Neutral (N) If the gear selector is in 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 key position II. 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 locate a hole11 for the key blade (p. 155) in the bottom of the compartment. Search for a spring-loaded button down in the hole with the key blade; depress the button with the blade and hold. Move the gear selector from the P posi- tion and pull up the key blade. 4. Set the rubber mat back in place. 11 There may be 2 holes - one for the key blade and one that fixes the rubber mat. 08 278 Related information • Automatic gearbox -- Geartronic* (p. 273) • Automatic gearbox -- Powershift* (p. 276) Hill start assist (HSA)*12 The foot brake can be released before setting off or reversing uphill - the HSA (Hill Start Assist) function means that the car does not roll backwards. The function means that the pedal pressure in the brake system remains for several seconds while the driver's foot is moved from brake pedal to accelerator pedal. The temporary braking effect releases after several seconds or when the driver acceler- ates. Related information • Starting the engine (p. 264) 08 Starting and driving Start/Stop* 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 automatically when the journey is due to con- tinue. Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor- poration's core values which guides all our activities. This target orientation has resulted in several separate energy-saving functions of which Start/Stop is one, all with the collective task of reducing fuel consumption, which in turn helps to reduce exhaust emissions. General information about Start/Stop 12 Depends on engine and gearbox combination. HSA not possible with some combinations. The engine is switched off - it becomes quieter and cleaner. 08 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 279 08 Starting and driving || 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. Related information • Start/Stop* - function and operation (p. 280) • Starting the engine (p. 264) • Start/Stop* - settings (p. 285) • Start/Stop* - the engine does not auto- start (p. 284) • Start/Stop* - the engine auto-starts (p. 283) • Start/Stop* - the engine does not stop (p. 282) • Start/Stop* - involuntary engine stoppage manual gearbox (p. 284) • Start/Stop* - symbols and messages (p. 286) • Battery - Start/Stop (p. 365) Start/Stop* - function and operation Some engine and gearbox combinations are equipped with a Start/Stop function which engages in the event of e.g. stationary traffic or waiting at traffic lights. The Start/Stop function is activated automatically when the engine is started with the key. The Start/Stop function is activated automatically when the engine is started with the key. The driver is made aware of this by the func- tion's symbol illuminating in the combined instrument panel and the On/Off button lamp illuminating. All of the car's normal sys- tems such as lighting, radio, etc. work as nor- mal even with an engine that has stopped automatically, except that some equipment may have the function temporarily reduced, e.g. the climate control system's fan speed or extremely high volume on the audio system. Engine auto-stop The following is required for the engine to auto-stop: Conditions Declutch, set the gear lever in neu- tral position and release the clutch pedal - the engine stops automati- cally. Stop the car with the foot brake, and then keep your foot on the pedal - the engine auto-stops. A M = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox. M/A If the ECO function is acti- vated then the engine may auto-stop before the car is completely stationary. As verification and reminder that the engine is auto-stopped the com- bined instrument panel's symbol for the Start/Stop function illuminates. 08 280 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. Engine auto-start Conditions With the gear lever in neutral posi- tion: 1. Depress the clutch pedal or press the accelerator pedal - the engine starts. 2. Engage a suitable gear and drive. Release the foot pressure on the foot brake - the engine auto-starts and the journey can continue. Maintain foot pressure on the foot brake and depress the accelerator pedal - the engine auto-starts.
