Starting the engine
WARNING
NOTE
• After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for a short period. This is done to help bring components in the emission control system to their normal operating tem- perature as quickly as possible, which enables them to control emissions and help reduce the vehicle's impact on the environment3.
• Keylock: Your vehicle is equipped with a keylock system. When the engine is switched off, the gear selector must be in the Park position before the key can be removed4 from the ignition slot.
• Always remove the remote key from the
ignition slot when leaving the vehicle, especially if there are children in the vehicle.
• Never remove the remote key from the ignition slot while driving or when the vehicle is being towed. The steering lock could otherwise be activated, mak- ing it impossible to steer the vehicle. On vehicles with the optional keyless drive, never remove the remote key from the vehicle while driving or during towing. • Always place the gear selector in Park
and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine run- ning.
• Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monox- ide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.
CAUTION
• When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than nor- mal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating tem- perature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough to prevent engine damage.
• The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never acceler- ate until after you feel the transmission engage. Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmis- sion wear.
• Selecting P or N when idling at a stand-
still for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the auto- matic transmission fluid.
3 If the gear selector is in the D or R positions and the car is not moving, engine speed (rpm) will be lower and it will take longer for the engine to reach normal operating temperature. 4 Does not apply to vehicles with the optional keyless drive.

Automatic transmission
Shiftgate positions1
Depress the button on the front of the gear
selector knob to move the gear selector
between the R, N, D, and P positions.
The gear selector can be moved freely between
the Geartronic (manual shifting) and Drive (D)
positions while driving.
Park position (P) Select the P position when starting or parking. Keylock To remove the remote key from the ignition slot, the gear selector must be in the P position. The remote key is locked in the slot in all other positions.
Shiftlock When P has been selected, the transmission is mechanically blocked in this position. The brake pedal must be depressed and the igni- tion must be in at least mode II (see page 79) before the gear lever can be moved from the P position. Always apply the parking brake when the vehi- cle is parked. Press the control to apply the brake, see page 116.
CAUTION
The vehicle must be stationary when posi- tion P is selected.
Transmission
Reverse (R) The vehicle must be stationary when position R is selected.
Neutral position (N) No gear is engaged and the engine can be started with the gear selector in this position. Apply the parking brake if the vehicle is sta- tionary with the gear selector in position N.
Drive (D) D is the normal driving position. The car auto- matically shifts between the various forward gears, based on the level of acceleration and speed. The car must be at a standstill when shifting from position R to position D.
Sport (S)2
Sport mode offers more immediate engine
response and allows the transmission to shift
up at higher rpm.
To access Sport mode (S), move the gear
selector to the right from Drive (D). The infor-
mation display will change from D to S.
Sport mode can be selected at any time.
1 The information display (see page 73) shows the gear selector's position or the selected gear by displaying the following: P, R, N, D, S, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. 2 Available in certain markets only, on models with 6-cylinder turbo engines.

Transmission
Geartronic–manual shifting Geartronic allows you to manually shift among your vehicle's six forward speeds. Geartronic can be selected at any time. • To access the manual shifting position
from Drive (D), move the gear selector to the right (to the area marked M in the illus- tration.
03
NOTE
On models equipped with Sport mode, the transmission will not switch to manual shift- ing mode until the gear selector is moved forward or rearward. The selected gear will then be shown in the information display (see page 73).
• To return to the D position from the manual shifting position, move the gear selector to the left.
While driving • If you select the manual shifting position
while driving, the gear that was being used in the Drive position will also initially be selected in the manual shifting position. • Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "–") to shift to a lower gear.
• If you hold the gear selector toward "–", the transmission will downshift one gear at a time and will utilize the braking power of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift will not occur until the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used. • If you slow to a very low speed, the trans-
mission will automatically shift down.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N) If the gear selector is in the N position and the vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 sec- onds (irrespective of whether the engine is run- ning) then the gear selector is locked. To be able to move the gear selector from N to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition must be in posi- tion II, see page 79. Geartronic–starting on slippery surfaces Selecting 3rd gear in Geartronic’s manual shift- ing mode can help provide better traction when starting off on slippery surfaces. To do so: 1. Depress the brake pedal and move the
gear selector to the right from the D posi- tion to the manual shifting position. The text in the instrument panel display will change from D to 1.
2. Press the gear selector forward and
release it (this selects 2nd gear). Press the selector forward again and release it to select 3rd gear.
3. Release the brake pedal and press gently
on the accelerator pedal.
Shiftlock override
If the vehicle cannot be driven, for example because of a dead battery, the gear selector must be moved from the P position before the vehicle can be moved3.
Lift away the rubber mat on the floor of the storage compartment behind the center console to expose the small opening for overriding the shiftlock system.
3 If the battery is dead, the electric parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 109.

Transmission
Insert the key blade into the opening. Press the key blade down as far as possible and keep it held down. Move the gear selector from the P position. For information on the key blade, see page 58.
Please be aware that overriding the shiftlock system does not release the steering wheel lock.
All Wheel Drive – AWD4
ically controlled coupling distributes power to the wheels that have the best traction.
NOTE
The message AWD disabled Service required will be appear in the information display if an electrical fault should occur in the AWD system. A warning light will also illuminate in the instrument panel. If this occurs, have the system checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service techni- cian.
Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All Wheel Drive, which means that power is distributed automatically between the front and rear wheels. Under normal driving condi- tions, most of the engine's power is directed to the front wheels. However, if there is any ten- dency for the front wheels to spin, an electron-

Brakes
Brake system The brake system is a hydraulic system con- sisting of two separate brake circuits. If a prob- lem should occur in one of these circuits, it is still possible to stop the vehicle with the other brake circuit. If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pressure, the stopping distance will be longer. A warning light in the instrument panel will light up to warn the driver that a fault has occurred. If this light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
NOTE
Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal – do not pump the brakes.
WARNING
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a brake system message is shown in the information display: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and have the brake system inspected.
03
114
Brake lights The brake lights come on automatically when the brakes are applied. Adaptive brake lights The adaptive brake lights activate in the event of sudden braking or if the ABS system is acti- vated. This function causes an additional tail- light on each side of the vehicle to illuminate to help alert vehicles traveling behind. The adaptive brake lights activate if: • The ABS system activates for more than
approximately a half second
• In the event of sudden braking while the
vehicle is moving at speeds above approx- imately 6 mph (10 km/h)
When the vehicle has come to a stop, the brake lights and additional taillights remain on for as long as the brake pedal is depressed or until braking force on the vehicle is reduced.
Power brakes function only when the engine is running The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure which is only created when the engine is run- ning. Never let the vehicle roll to a stop with the engine switched off. If the power brakes are not working, consider- ably higher pressure will be required on the brake pedal to compensate for the lack of power assistance. This can happen for exam-
ple when towing your vehicle or if the engine is switched off when the vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels harder than usual.
Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking Driving in rain and slush or passing through an automatic car wash can cause water to collect on the brake discs and pads. This will cause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delay when the brakes are needed, depress the pedal occa- sionally when driving through rain, slush, etc. This will remove the water from the brakes. Check that brake application feels normal. This should also be done after washing or starting in very damp or cold weather.
Severe strain on the brake system The brakes will be subject to severe strain when driving in mountains or hilly areas, or when towing a trailer. Vehicle speed is usually slower, which means that the cooling of the brakes is less efficient than when driving on level roads. To reduce the strain on the brakes, shift into a lower gear and let the engine help with the braking. Do not forget that if you are towing a trailer, the brakes will be subjected to a greater than normal load.
03 Your driving environment
Anti-lock braking system The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control (stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting brake lockup. When the system "senses" impending lockup, braking pressure is auto- matically modulated in order to help prevent lockup that could lead to a skid. The system performs a brief self-diagnostic test when the engine has been started and driver releases the brake pedal. Another auto- matic test may be performed when the vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately 25 mph (40 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.
Cleaning the brake discs Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs may result in delayed brake function. This delay is minimized by cleaning the brake linings. Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet weather, prior to long-term parking, and after the vehicle has been washed. Do this by brak- ing gently for a short period while the vehicle is moving.
Emergency Brake Assistance EBA is designed to provide full brake effect immediately in the event of sudden, hard brak-
ing. The system is activated by the speed with which the brake pedal is depressed. When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increases to the maximum level. Maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system completely. EBA is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released.
NOTE
• When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increa- ses to the maximum level. You must maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system com- pletely. There will be no braking effect if the pedal is released. EBA is automati- cally deactivated when the brake pedal is released.
• When the vehicle has been parked for some time, the brake pedal may sink more than usual when the engine is started. This is normal and the pedal will return to its usual position when it is released.

03 Your driving environment
Introduction Normally, when the accelerator pedal is released while driving down hills, the vehicle's speed slows as the engine runs at lower rpm (the normal engine braking effect). However, if the downhill gradient becomes steeper and if the vehicle is carrying a load, speed increases despite the engine braking effect. In this situa- tion, the brakes must be applied to reduce the vehicle's speed. HDC is a type of automatic engine brake and makes it possible to increase or decrease the vehicle's speed on downhill gradients using only the accelerator pedal, without applying the brakes. The brake system functions auto- matically to maintain a low and steady speed. HDC is particularly useful when driving down steep hills with rough surfaces, and where the road may have slippery patches.
WARNING
HDC does not function in all situations, and is a supplementary braking aid. The driver has full responsibility for driving in a safe manner.
Function
• HDC can be switched on and off with the button in the center console. An indicator light in the button illuminates when HDC is activated.
• The indicator light
in the instrument
panel illuminates and a message is dis- played when the system is controlling the vehicle's speed.
• HDC only functions when first or reverse gears are selected (1 will be shown in the instrument panel display when first gear is selected).
NOTE
HDC cannot be activated if the gear selector is the D position.
03
Hill Descent Control (HDC)*
Using HDC HDC allows the car to roll forward at a maxi- mum speed of 6 mph (10 km/h), and 4 mph (7 km/h) in reverse. However, the accelerator pedal can be used to select any speed that is possible in first or reverse gears. When the accelerator pedal is released, speed is quickly reduced again to 6 mph (10 km/h) or 4 mph (7 km/h), depending on the gear selected, regardless of the hill's gradient. It is not nec- essary to apply the brakes. • The brake lights illuminate automatically
when HDC is controlling the vehicle's speed.
• The driver can slow or stop the vehicle at
any time by applying the brakes.
HDC is deactivated when: • The button on the center console is
pressed
• A gear higher than first gear is selected • D is selected on vehicles with an automatic
transmission
HDC can be deactivated at any time. If this is done while driving down a steep hill, the sys- tem's braking effect will decrease gradually.

Climate system
Introduction
Air conditioning The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC). The climate control system cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in the pas- senger compartment.
NOTE
• The air conditioning can be switched
off, but to ensure the best possible cli- mate comfort in the passenger com- partment and to prevent the windows from misting, it should always be on. • In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water is condensation from the A/C system and is normal.
Sensor location • The sunlight sensor is located on the top
side of the dashboard.
04
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight. This can mean that the temperature may differ between the right and left-side air vents, even if the temperatures set for both sides of the passenger compartment are the same.
• The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climate control panel.
• The outside (ambient) temperature sensor
is located on the door mirror.
• The humidity sensor* is located in the inte-
rior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
Side windows and moonroof To ensure that the air conditioning works opti- mally, the side windows, and the optional moonroof should be closed.
Fog on the inside of the windows The defroster function should be used to remove fog or mist from the inside of the win- dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com-
mercially available window washing spray will also help prevent fogging or misting.
Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning The air conditioning is momentarily disen- gaged during full-throttle acceleration or when driving uphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporary increase in cabin temperature.
Ice and snow Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Climate system maintenance Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service tech- nician.
Refrigerant Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant – R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The air condi- tioning system contains 1.7 lbs (770 g) of R134a. The systems uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment filter Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to
128
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
your Warranty and Service Records Informa- tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for these intervals. The filter should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.
NOTE
There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed.
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles in the incoming air, thereby reducing the levels of odors and contaminants entering the vehi- cle. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recircu- lated, i.e. no outside air enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger com- partment air.
NOTE
Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter replacement intervals.

Ventilated front seats* The ventilation system consists of fans in the seats and backrests that draw air through the seat upholstery. The cooling effect increases as the air in the passenger compartment becomes cooler. The ventilation is controlled by the ECC sys- tem, which takes into account the seat tem- perature, sunlight in the passenger compart- ment, and the ambient temperature. The ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating. The ventilation system can be activated when the engine is running. There are three comfort levels that produce different cooling and dehu- midifying effects: • Level three: press the button once for
maximum output – three indicator lights come on.
• Level two: press the button twice for a
lower output – two indicator lights come on.
• Level one: press the button three times for
the lowest output – one indicator light comes on.
• Press the button a fourth time to switch off the function – the indicator light will go out.
Heated front seats*
Press the button once for the highest heat level – three indi- cator lights come on. Press the button twice for a lower heat level – two indica- tor lights come on.
Press the button three times for the lowest heat level – one indicator light comes on. Press the button four times to switch off the heat – no indicator lights come on. The seat heating is normally switched off when the engine is started. If the heating is on when the ignition is switched off, the heating will also switch off. Automatic start of the seat heating can be activated/deactivated in the menu sys- tem, under: Climate settings Seat heating off at start Seat heating is switched off automatically after a certain length of time. This function can be activated/deactivated in the menu system, under: Climate settings Seat heating timer

Temperature control
The temperatures on the driver and passenger sides can be set independently. When the vehicle is started, the most recent setting is resumed.
NOTE
Heating or cooling cannot be speeded up by selecting a higher/lower temperature than the actual temperature required.
A/C – ON/OFF
The air conditioning is con- trolled automatically by the system when the ON light is on. This cools/heats and dehumidifies the incoming air. When the OFF light is on, the air conditioning is always dis-
engaged. Other functions are still controlled automatically. When defroster is selected, the air conditioning system is set for maximum blower speed and dehumidification.
Defroster
This function defrosts/de-ices the windshield and front side windows. The indicator light in the defroster button lights when the function is active.
• Blower speed increases automatically and
the air conditioning will switch on (if not already on and if the passenger compart- ment blower is not turned off) to dehumid- ify the air in the passenger compartment. Air conditioning can be switched off by pressing the AC button.
• Recirculation will not function while defrost
is engaged.
The climate system will return to its previous settings when the defroster function is switched off.

Recirculation/air quality system Recirculation
This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passen- ger compartment. The air in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e., no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is activated. The indicator light in the button will illuminate when recirculation is selected. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows, especially in winter. Timer The timer function minimizes the risk of fog- ging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected by automatically switching off the function after a certain length of time, depend- ing on the ambient temperature. Activate/ deactivate the function under Climate settings description of the menu system, see page 124.

NOTE
When Defroster is selected, recirculation is always deactivated.
Interior Air Quality System–IAQS*
This system consists of a mul- tifilter and an air quality sen- sor. The filter helps remove gases and particles from the incoming air, thereby reduc- ing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the
vehicle. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects conta- minated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e., no outside air enters the vehi- cle. The filter also cleans recirculated passen- ger compartment air. When the AUTO button is depressed the air quality sensor is always engaged. Activating the air quality sensor
Switch between the three functions by pressing the but- ton repeatedly.
Climate system
• The left orange light comes on – the air
quality sensor is disengaged.
• The center green light comes on – recircu-
lation not engaged, providing it is not required for cooling in hot weather.
• The right orange light comes on – recircu-
lation is engaged.
NOTE
• The air quality sensor should always be engaged in order to obtain the best air in the passenger compartment.
• Recirculation is limited in cold weather
to avoid fogging.
• If the insides of the windows start fog- ging, disengage the air quality sensor. Use the defroster function to increase airflow to the front, side, and rear win- dows.
