Warning for personal injury

All types of option/accessory are marked with an asterisk*. In addition to standard equipment, the owner's manual also describes options (factory fitted equipment) and certain accessories (retrofitted extra equipment).

There is footnote information in the owner's manual that is located at the bottom of the page. This information is an addition to the text that it refers to via a number. If the footnote refers to text in a table then letters are used instead of numbers for referral.

The equipment described in the owner's manual is not available in all cars - they have different equipment depending on adaptations for the needs of different markets and national or local laws and regulations. In the event of uncertainty over what is standard or an option/accessory, contact a Volvo dealer. Special texts
WARNING
Warning texts appear if there is a risk of injury.

Message texts There are displays in the car that show text messages. These text messages are highlighted in the owner's manual by means of the text being slightly larger and printed in grey. Examples of this are in menu texts and message texts on the information display (e.g. Audio settings).
Decals The car contains different types of decal which are designed to convey important information in a simple and clear manner. The decals in the car have the following descending degree of importance for the warning/ information.

White ISO symbols and white text/image on black message field.
NOTE
It is not intended that the decals illustrated in the owner's manual should be exact replicas of those in the car. They are included to show their approximate appearance and location in the car. The information that applies to your particular car is available on the respective decals for your car.
Procedure lists Procedures where action must be taken in a certain sequence are numbered in the owner's manual.

When there is a series of illustrations for

step-by-step instructions each step is

numbered in the same way as the corres-

ponding illustration.

There are numbered lists with letters adjacent to the series of illustrations where the order of the instructions is not significant.

Arrows appear numbered and unnumbered and are used to illustrate a movement.

Arrows with letters are used to clarify a movement when the reciprocal order is of no relevance.

If there is no series of illustrations for step-bystep instructions then the different steps are numbered with normal numbers.

Position lists Red circles containing a number are used in overview images where different components are pointed out. The number recurs in the position list featured in connection with the illustration that describes the item.

Bulleted lists A bulleted list is used when there is a list of points in the owner's manual.

tured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world.

01 Introduction

G000000

Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corporation's core values which influence all operations. We also believe that our customers share our consideration for the environment. Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufactured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corporation has global ISO certification, which includes the environmental standard ISO 14001 covering all factories and several of our other units. We also set requirements

for our partners so that they work systematically with environmental issues.
Fuel consumption Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption in each of their respective classes. Lower fuel consumption generally results in lower emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. It is possible for the driver to influence fuel consumption. For more information read under the heading, Reducing environmental impact.

Efficient emission control Your Volvo is manufactured following the concept "Clean inside and out" ­ a concept that encompasses a clean interior environment as well as highly efficient emission control. In many cases the exhaust emissions are well below the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger compartment A passenger compartment filter prevents dust and pollen from entering the passenger compartment via the air intake.

incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traffic outside. The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is monitored continuously and if there is an increase in the level of certain unhealthy gases such as carbon monoxide then the air intake is closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic, queues and tunnels for example. The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbon filter.

Reducing environmental impact You can easily help reduce environmental impact - here are a few tips:
· Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off
the engine when stationary for longer periods. Pay attention to local regulations.
· Drive economically - think ahead. · Perform service and maintenance in
accordance with the owner's manual's instructions - follow the intervals recommended in the Service and Warranty

WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.

WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one person.

It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a normal seating position. Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fasten (p. 24) their seatbelt by means of an audio and visual reminder (p. 26).
Remember
· Do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly.
· The seatbelt must not be twisted or
caught on anything.

WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop. If a seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the protective characteristics of the seatbelt may have been lost, even if it appears to be undamaged. In addition, replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or damaged. The new seatbelt must be typeapproved and intended for installation in the same position as the replaced seatbelt.

The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. ­ It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove the slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits as close to the body as possible. In addition, check that there are no twists in the seatbelt. As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers must adjust the seat (p. 72) and steering wheel (p. 76) such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means that they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel).

The system consists of airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag(s) are inflated and become hot. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely normal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a second.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop for repair. Defective work in the airbag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.
NOTE
The detectors react differently depending on the nature of the collision and whether or not the seatbelts are fastened. Applies to all belt positions. It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a collision. The detectors sense the force of the collision on the vehicle and the action is adapted accordingly so that one or more airbags are deployed.

02 Safety

Side airbag (SIPS)

In a side impact collision a large proportion of

the collision force is transferred by the SIPS

(Side Impact Protection System) to beams,

pillars, the floor, the roof and other structural

02

parts of the body. The side airbags at the driv-

er's and front passenger seats protect the

chest area and the hip and are an important

part of the SIPS.

The SIPS bag system consists of two main components, side airbag and sensors. The side airbags are located in the front seat backrests. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the side airbags are inflated. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel and thereby cushions the initial impact. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. The side airbag is normally only deployed on the side of the collision.

Inflatable Curtain (IC) The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and passengers from striking their heads on the inside of the car during a collision.
Inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is part of the SIPS system (p. 31) and the airbag system (p. 28). It is fitted in the headlining along both sides of the roof and protects the car's occupants sitting in the outer seats. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.

WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hook is only designed for light clothing (not for solid objects such as umbrellas for example). Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended protection. Volvo recommends that you only ever use Volvo genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the door windows. Otherwise, the intended protection of the inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

A The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.

If the airbags (p. 28) have deployed, the following is recommended:
· Recovering the car. Volvo recommends
that you have it conveyed to an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not drive with deployed airbags.
· Volvo recommends that you engage an
authorised Volvo workshop to handle the replacement of components in the car's safety systems.
· Always contact a doctor.

NOTE
The airbags and belt tensioner system are deployed only once during a collision.

WARNING
The airbag system's control module is located in the centre console. If the centre console is drenched with water or other liquid, disconnect the battery cables. Do not attempt to start the car since the airbags may deploy. Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Never drive with deployed airbags. They can make steering difficult. Other safety systems may also be damaged. The smoke and dust created when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation/injury after intensive exposure. In case of irritation, wash with cold water. The rapid deployment sequence and airbag fabric may cause friction and skin burns.

General information on child safety Children of all ages and sizes must always sit correctly secured in the car. Never allow a child to sit on the knee of a passenger. Volvo recommends that children travel in rear-facing child seats until as late an age as possible, at least until 3-4 years of age, and then front-facing booster cushions/child seats until up to 10 years of age. The position of a child in the car and the choice of equipment are dictated by the child's weight and size; see Child seats (p. 40).
NOTE
Regulations regarding the placement of children in cars vary from country to country. Check what does apply.
Volvo has child safety equipment (child seats, booster cushions & attachment devices) which is designed for your particular car. Using Volvo's child safety equipment provides you with optimum conditions for your child to travel safely in the car. Furthermore, the child safety equipment fits and is easy to use.

NOTE
In the event of questions when fitting child safety products, contact the manufacturer for clearer instructions.

02 Safety

Child seats - location

Always fit child seats/booster cushions (p. 40)

in the rear seat if the passenger airbag is acti-

vated (p. 30). If a child is sitting on the front

02

passenger seat then he/she could suffer seri-

ous injury if the airbag deploys.

WARNING
Booster cushions/child seats with steel braces or some other design that could rest on the seatbelt buckle's opening button must not be used, as they could cause the seatbelt buckle to open accidentally. Do not allow the upper section of the child seat to rest against the windscreen.

Child seat - two-stage booster seat* The integrated booster seats in the rear seat allow children to sit comfortably and safely.
The booster cushions are specially designed to provide optimum safety. In combination with the seatbelt (p. 23) they are approved for children who weigh between 15 and 36 kg and who are at least 95 cm in height.

The label for the airbag becomes visible when the passenger door is opened, see illustration (p. 30). You may place:
· a child seat/booster cushion on the front
passenger seat provided there is no activated airbag on the front passenger side.
· one or more child seats/booster cushions
in the rear seat.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated. No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated. Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life.

Correct position, the seatbelt should be positioned in on the shoulder.

44

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

02 Safety

Incorrect position, the head restraint must be adjusted as high as the head and the seatbelt must not be below the shoulder.
Check before driving that:
· the integrated two-stage booster seat is
correctly set in accordance with the table (p. 45) and in locked position
· the seatbelt is in contact with the child's
body and is not slack or twisted
· the seatbelt does not lie across the
child's throat or below the shoulder (see preceding illustrations)
· the lap section of the seatbelt is posi-
tioned low over the pelvis to provide optimal protection.
Adjusting the booster seat's two levels is performed by raising (p. 45) and lowering (p. 46).

WARNING
Volvo recommends that repair or replacement is only carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not make any modifications or additions to the booster cushion. If an integrated booster cushion has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire booster cushion must be replaced. Even if the booster cushion appears to be undamaged, it may not afford the same level of protection. The booster cushion must also be replaced if it is heavily worn.
WARNING
If the instructions for the two-stage booster seat are not followed then the child could sustain serious injury in the event of an accident.

Two-stage booster seat* - raising

The integrated booster seat (p. 44) in the rear

seat can be folded up into two stages. How

many stages the cushion should be folded up

depends on the child's weight.

Child seat - ISOFIX

· General information on child safety (p. 39)

ISOFIX is a fixture system for car child seats (p. 40) that is based on an international standard.
02

Press down with your hand in the centre of the cushion in order to lock it.
IMPORTANT
Check that there are no loose objects (e.g. toys) left behind in the space under the cushion before lowering.
NOTE
When folding the rear backrest the booster seat must first be lowered.
Related information
· Two-stage booster seat* - raising (p. 45)

Mounting points for the ISOFIX fixture system are concealed behind the lower section of the rear seat backrest, in the outer seats. The location of the mounting points is indicated by symbols in the backrest upholstery (see preceding illustration). Press the seat cushion down to access the mounting points. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when connecting a child seat to the ISOFIX mounting points.

Child seats - upper mounting points The car is equipped with upper mounting points for certain front-facing child seats (p. 40). These mounting points are located on the rear of the seat.
The upper mounting points are primarily intended for use with front-facing child seats. Volvo recommends that small children should sit in rear-facing child seats to as late an age as possible.
NOTE
Fold the head restraints in order to facilitate fitting this type of child seat in cars with folding head restraints on the outer seats.

NOTE
In cars with a cargo cover over the luggage compartment, this must be removed before child seats can be attached to the securing points.
For detailed information on how the child seat should be tensioned in the upper mounting points, see the seat manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING
The child seat's straps must always be drawn through the hole in the head restraint leg before they are tensioned at the attachment point.

WARNING
AHB is an aid for using optimum light composition when conditions are favourable. The driver always bears responsibility for manually switching between main and dipped beam when traffic situations or weather conditions so require.

IMPORTANT
Examples of when manual switching between main and dipped beam may be required:
· In heavy rain or dense fog · In freezing rain · In snow flurries or slush · In moonlight · When driving in poorly lit built-up
areas
· When the traffic ahead has weak light-
ing
· If there are pedestrians on or beside
the road
· If there are highly reflective objects
such as signs in the vicinity of the road
· When the lighting from oncoming traf-
fic is obscured by e.g. a crash barrier
· When there is traffic on connecting
roads
· On the brow of a hill or in a hollow · In sharp bends.

Manual dimming Bright light from behind could be reflected in the rearview mirror and dazzle the driver. Use dimming with the dimming control when lights from behind are distracting: 1. Use dimming by moving the control in
towards the passenger compartment. 2. Return to normal position by moving the
control towards the windscreen.

03 Instruments and controls

Automatic dimming* Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed by the rearview mirror. The control for manual dimming is not available on mirrors with automatic dimming. The rearview mirror contains two sensors one forward facing and one rearward facing that work together to identify and eliminate dazzling light. The forward facing sensor detects ambient light, while the rearward facing sensor detects the light from vehicle headlights behind.
NOTE
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking permits, transponders, sun visors or objects in the seats or in the cargo area in such a way that light is prevented from reaching the sensors, then the dimming function of the interior rearview and door mirrors is reduced.

Alarm The alarm is a device that warns in the event of e.g. a break-in in the car.
Activated alarm is triggered if:
· a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened
· a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement detector*)
· the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector*)
· the battery's cable is disconnected · the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system then the information display in the combined instrument panel shows a message. In which case, contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in the event of movement in the passenger compartment - air currents are also registered. For this reason the alarm is triggered if the car is left with a window or the sunroof open or if the passenger compartment heater is used. To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof when leaving the car. If the car's integrated passenger compartment heater (or a portable electric heater) shall be used direct the airflow from the air vents so that they are not pointing upwards in the passenger compartment. Alternatively, reduced alarm level can be used, see Reduced alarm level (p. 173).
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter components in the alarm system yourself. Any such attempts may affect the terms of the insurance.

|| Traction control system The function is active at low speed and transfers power from the driving wheel that is spinning to the one that is not.
Engine drag control (EDC) EDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involuntary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or engine braking when driving in low gears on slippery road surfaces.

Stability and traction control system (DSTC) - operation The stability and traction control system (p. 175) (DSTC - Dynamic Stability & Traction Control), helps the driver to avoid skidding and improves the car's traction.
Selection of level - Sport mode The stability and traction control system is always activated - it cannot be switched off.

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 without wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. on an arcing motorway entrance road to quickly reach the prevailing traffic speed.

Trailer Stability Assist1 Trailer stability assist (p. 312) function is to stabilise the car and trailer combination if it begins to snake. For more information, see Driving with a trailer (p. 306).

07

NOTE

However, the driver can select the Sport mode, which allows for a more active driving experience. In Sport mode the system detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel movements and cornering are more active than 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 interrupts a controlled skid by releasing the accelerator pedal then the stability and traction control 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.

The function is deactivated if the driver selects Sport mode.

Sport mode is selected in the menu system MY CAR. For a description of the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 103).

Road Sign Information (RSI)* The road sign information function (RSI ­ Road Sign Information) helps the driver to remember which speed-related road signs the car has passed.

WARNING
RSI does not work in all situations but is designed merely as a supplementary aid. The driver always bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely and that applicable road traffic rules and regulations are followed.

Road sign information (RSI)* operation The road sign information function (RSI ­ Road Sign Information) helps the driver to remember which speed-related road signs the car has passed.
The function is operated as follows

Examples of readable speed related signs2. The RSI function gives information on current speed, e.g. that a motorway or road is starting/ending and when overtaking is prohibited. If both a sign for motorway/road for motorised traffic and a sign showing the maximum permitted speed are passed, RSI decides to show the sign symbol for maximum permitted speed.

Recorded speed information3.

When RSI has recorded a road sign with an imposed speed, the combined instrument panel displays the sign as a symbol.

Together with the symbol for

the current speed limit, a

07

sign showing that overtaking

is prohibited may also be

displayed where appropriate.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 179

07 Driver support
|| End of restriction or motorway A corresponding road sign is shown in the combined instrument panel for approx. 10 seconds in situations where RSI detects a sign that involves the end of a speed limit - or other speed-related information, e.g. end of a motorway. Examples of such signs are:

End of all restrictions.

End of motorway.

Following which, the sign information is hid-

07

den until the next speed-related sign is detected.

Additional signs

Examples of additional signs3. Sometimes different speed limits are signposted for the same road - an additional sign then indicates the circumstances under which the different speeds apply. The road section may be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain and/or fog, for example. An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use.
The speed applicable on an exit is indicated in certain markets by means of an additional sign containing an arrow. Speed signs linked to this type of additional sign are displayed only if the driver is using the direction indicator.

Some speeds are applicable only after e.g. a specific distance or at a certain time of day. The driver's attention is drawn to the situation by means of a symbol for an additional sign under the symbol showing speed. Display of additional information
A symbol for additional sign in the form of an empty frame under the combined instrument panel's speed symbol means that the RSI has detected an additional sign with supplementary information for the current speed limit. Setting in MY CAR There are options for RSI in the MY CAR menu system; see MY CAR (p. 103).

The RSI function's camera sensor has limitations just like the human eye - read more about camera sensor limitations (p. 220)). Signs which indirectly provide information on a prevailing speed limit, e.g. name signs for towns/districts, are not recorded by the RSI function. Here are several examples of what can disrupt the function:
· Faded signs · Signs positioned on bends · Rotated or damaged signs · Concealed or poorly positioned signs · Signs completely or partly covered with
frost, snow and/or dirt.

Adaptive cruise control - ACC* The adaptive cruise control (ACC ­ Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an even speed and a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
The adaptive cruise control provides a more relaxing driving experience on long journeys on motorways and long straight main roads in smooth traffic flows. The driver sets the desired speed (p. 191) and time interval (p. 192) to the car in front. When the radar detector detects a slower vehicle in front of the car, the speed is automatically adapted to that. When the road is clear again the car returns to the selected speed. If the adaptive cruise control is switched off or set to standby mode (p. 193) and the car comes too close to a vehicle in front, then the driver is warned instead by the Distance Warning (p. 202) function about the short distance.

WARNING
The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and intervene when the adaptive cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed or suitable distance. The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. Read all the sections about the adaptive cruise control in the owner's manual in order to learn about its limitations, of which the driver should be aware before it is used. The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when the adaptive cruise control is being used.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of adaptive cruise control components must only be performed at a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Adaptive cruise control* - function The adaptive cruise control (ACC ­ Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an even speed and a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. It consists of a cruise control system and a coordinated spacing system.
Function overview

WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must intervene if the system does not detect a vehicle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and objects. Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on slip roads.

The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval set by the driver. If the radar sensor cannot see any vehicle in front then the car will instead maintain the cruise control's set speed. This also happens if the speed of the vehicle in front exceeds the cruise control's set speed. The adaptive cruise control aims to control the speed in a smooth way. In situations that demand sudden braking the driver must brake himself/herself. This applies with large differences in speed, or if the vehicle in front brakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radar sensor (p. 197) braking may come unexpectedly or not at all.

Function overview6. Warning lamp - braking by driver required
Steering wheel keypad (p. 190)
Radar sensor (p. 197)

Distance to the vehicle ahead (p. 192) is measured primarily by a radar sensor (p. 197). Cruise control regulates the speed with acceleration and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a low sound when they are being used by the adaptive cruise control.
WARNING

The adaptive cruise control can be activated to follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h7 up to 200 km/h. If the speed falls below 30 km/h or if the engine speed becomes too low, the cruise control is set in standby mode (p. 193) at which automatic braking ceases - the driver must then take over himself/herself to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead.

Adaptive cruise control has a braking

capacity that is equivalent to more than 40%

of the car's braking capacity.

07 Driver support

|| If the car needs to be braked more heavily than cruise control capacity and the driver does not brake, then cruise control uses the warning lamp and warning sound from the Collision warning system (p. 212) in order to alert the driver that immediate intervention is required.
NOTE
The warning lamp may be difficult to see in strong sunlight or when wearing sunglasses.

WARNING
Cruise Control warns only of vehicles which the radar sensor has detected. Hence the warning may not be given, or it may be given with a certain delay. Do not wait for a warning without braking when so required.

Steep roads and/or heavy load

Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control

is primarily intended for use when driving on

level road surfaces. It may have difficulty in

07

keeping the correct distance from the vehicle

ahead when driving on steep downhill slopes,

with a heavy load or with a trailer - in which

case, be extra attentive and ready to slow

down.

Adaptive cruise control* - set time interval The adaptive cruise control (ACC ­ Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an even speed and a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Different time intervals to the vehicle in front can be selected and shown in the combined instrument panel as 1-5 horizontal lines - the more lines the longer the time interval. One line corresponds to approximately 1 second to the vehicle in front, 5 lines approximately 3 seconds. To set/change the time distance:
· Turn the thumbwheel on the steering
wheel keypad (p. 190) (or use the / buttons for cars without Speed limiter). At low speed, when the distances are short, the adaptive cruise control increases the time interval slightly. The adaptive cruise control allows the time interval to vary noticeably in certain situations in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle in front smoothly and comfortably. Note that a short time interval only allows the driver a short time to react and take action if any unforeseen traffic problem should arise.

192 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

The same symbol is also shown when Distance Warning (p. 202) function is activated.
NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations. If Cruise Control does not appear to react when activated, this may be because the time distance to the car in front is preventing an increase in speed.

Sometimes the radar sensor is late at

detecting vehicles at close distances, e.g.

a vehicle that drives in between the car

and vehicles in front.

07

Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or

vehicles not driving in the centre of the

lane can remain undetected.

In bends the radar sensor may detect the wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehicle from view.

WARNING
The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and intervene when the adaptive cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed or suitable distance. The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. Read all the sections about the adaptive cruise control in the owner's manual in order to learn about its limitations, of which the driver should be aware before it is used. The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when the adaptive cruise control is being used.
WARNING
Accessories or other objects such as auxiliary lamps must not be fitted in front of the grille.

WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must intervene if the system does not detect a vehicle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and objects. Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on slip roads.
IMPORTANT
In the event of visible damage to the car's grille, or if you suspect that the radar sensor may be damaged:
· Contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended. The function may completely or partially disappear - or malfunction - if the grille, the radar sensor or its bracket is damaged or has loosened.

NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections or strong variations in light intensity, as well as wearing sunglasses, could mean that the warning light in the windscreen cannot be seen. Poor weather or winding roads could affect the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles in front. The size of other vehicles could also affect detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. This could mean that the warning lamp illuminates at a shorter distance than the setting or that the warning is temporarily absent. Extremely high speeds can also cause the lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance than that set due to limitations in sensor range.

City SafetyTM City SafetyTM is a function for helping the driver to avoid a collision when driving in queues, amongst other things, when changes in the traffic ahead, combined with a lapse in attention, could lead to an incident.
The City SafetyTM function is active at speeds under 50 km/h and it helps the driver by automatically braking the car in the event of imminent risk of collision with vehicles in front, should the driver not react in time by braking and/or steering away. City SafetyTM is activated in situations where the driver should have started braking earlier, which is why it cannot help the driver in every situation. City SafetyTM is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary intervention.

IMPORTANT
Maintenance and replacement of City SafetyTM components must only be performed by a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
WARNING
City SafetyTM does not engage in all driving situations or traffic, weather or road conditions. City SafetyTM does not react to vehicles driving in a different direction from the car, to small vehicles and motorcycles or to humans and animals. City SafetyTM can prevent collision at a speed difference of less than 15 km/h - at a higher speed difference, it is only possible to reduce collision speed. In order to obtain full brake function, the driver must depress the brake pedal.

City SafetyTM - function City SafetyTM detects the traffic in front of the car with a laser sensor fitted in the top edge of the windscreen. If there is an imminent risk of collision, City SafetyTM will automatically brake the car, which may be experienced as sudden braking.

City SafetyTM - limitations The sensor in City SafetyTM is designed to detect cars and other large vehicles in front of the car irrespective of whether it is day or night. However, the function has a number of limitations.
However, the sensor has limitations and has poorer functionality - or none at all - in e.g. heavy snowfall or rain, dense fog, dust storms or white-out situations. Mist, dirt, ice

City SafetyTM is not activated at low speeds under 4 km/h, which is why the system does not intervene in situations where a vehicle in front is being approached very slowly, e.g. when parking.

IMPORTANT
If there are cracks, scratches or stone chips in the windscreen in front of either of the laser sensor's "windows" and they cover a surface of approx. 0.5 x 3.0 mm (or larger), then a workshop must be contacted for replacement of the windscreen (see the illustration for sensor location (p. 205)) - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Failure to take action may result in reduced performance for City SafetyTM.
To avoid the risk of failed, deficient or reduced operation for City SafetyTM, the following also applies:
· Volvo recommends that you do not
repair cracks, scratches or stone chips in the area in front of the laser sensor instead, the whole windscreen should be replaced.
· Before replacing a windscreen, con-

City SafetyTM - laser sensor The City SafetyTM function includes a sensor which transmits laser light (see illustration (p. 205) for sensor location). Contact a qualified workshop in the event of a fault or if the laser sensor needs servicing - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. It is absolutely essential to follow the prescribed instructions when handling the laser sensor.
The following two labels relate to the laser sensor:

Collision warning system* "Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to assist the driver when there is a risk of colliding with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle in front that are stationary or moving in the same direction.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection is activated in situations where the driver should have started braking earlier, which is why it cannot help the driver in every situation. Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary intervention. Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection may prevent a collision or reduce the collision speed.

Level 2 The driver is warned of occurring obstacles by means of visual and acoustic signals - the car is braked automatically if the driver himself does not act within a reasonable time.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of components included in Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection must only be carried out in a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

3. Auto Brake16 The collision warning system and City SafetyTM (p. 205) complement each other.
1 - Collision warning The driver is first warned of a potentially imminent collision. The collision warning system detects pedestrians, stationary vehicles as well as vehicles driving in the same direction in front of the car. If there is a risk of collision with a pedestrian or a vehicle then the driver's attention is attracted with a flashing red warning signal (1) and an acoustic signal.

3 - Auto Brake16 The automatic brake function is activated last.
If in this situation the driver has not yet started to take evasive action and the risk of collision is imminent then the automatic braking function is deployed - this takes place irrespective of whether or not the driver brakes. Braking then takes place with full brake force in order to reduce collision speed, or with limited brake force if it is sufficient to avoid a collision. For cyclists, the warning and full brake intervention may come very late or simultaneously.

|| WARNING

The collision warning system does not engage in all driving situations or traffic, weather or road conditions. The collision warning system does not react to vehicles or cyclists driving in another direction to the car or to animals. Warning only activated in the event of a high risk for collision. This section "Function" and the section "Limitations" inform about limitations that the driver must be aware of before using the Collision Warning system with Auto Brake. Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated at a vehicle speed exceeding 80 km/h.

Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists do not work in darkness and tunnels - not even when streetlights are lit.

The auto-brake function can prevent a collision or reduce collision speed. To ensure full brake performance, the driver should always depress the brake pedal - even when the car auto-brakes.

Never wait for a collision warning. The

07

driver is always responsible that the correct distance and speed are maintained -

even when the collision warning system

with auto-brake is used.

Collision warning system* - general limitations "Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to assist the driver when there is a risk of colliding with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle in front that are stationary or moving in the same direction. The function has certain limitations - for example, it is not active until approx. 4 km/h..
The collision warning system's visual warning signal (see (1) in the illustration (p. 213)) may be difficult to notice in the event of strong sunlight, reflections, when sunglasses are being worn or if the driver is not looking straight ahead. The warning sound should therefore always be activated. On slippery road surfaces the braking distance is extended, which may reduce the capacity to avoid a collision. In such situations the ABS and DSTC systems will provide best possible braking force with maintained stability.

18 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
218 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

NOTE
The visual warning signal can be temporarily disengaged in the event of high passenger compartment temperature caused by strong sunlight for example. If this occurs then the warning sound is activated even if it is deactivated in the menu system.
· Warnings may not appear if the dis-

Collision warning system* - camera sensor limitations "Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to assist the driver when there is a risk of colliding with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle in front that are stationary or moving in the same direction. The function uses the car's camera sensor, which has certain limitations.
The car's camera sensor is also used - as well as by Collision Warning with Auto Brake - by the functions:
· Automatic main/dipped beam dim-
ming (p. 82)
· Road sign information (p. 179) · Driver Alert Control - DAC (p. 224) · Lane Keeping Aid (p. 229)
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the camera sensor free from ice, snow, mist and dirt. Do not stick or attach anything to the windscreen in front of the camera sensor as this may reduce effectiveness or cause one or more of the systems dependent on the camera to stop working.
The camera sensors have limitations similar to the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in

darkness, heavy snowfall or rain and in thick fog for example. Under such conditions the functions of camera-dependent systems could be significantly reduced or temporarily disengaged. Strong oncoming light, reflections in the carriageway, snow or ice on the road surface, dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markings could also significantly reduce camera sensor function when it is used to scan the carriageway and detect pedestrians and other vehicles. The field of vision of the camera sensor is limited, which is why pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles cannot be detected in some situations, or they are detected later than anticipated. During very high temperatures the camera is temporarily switched off for about 15 minutes after the engine is started in order to protect camera functionality.
Fault tracing and action If the display shows the message Windscreen Sensors blocked then this means that the camera sensor is blocked and cannot detect pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles or road markings in front of the car. At the same time, this means that - besides Collision Warning with Auto Brake - the Automatic main/dipped beam dimming, Road Sign Information, Driver Alert Control and Lane

Keeping Aid functions will not have full functionality either. The following table presents possible causes for a message being shown along with the appropriate action.

Cause The windscreen surface in front of the camera is dirty or covered with ice or snow. Thick fog, heavy rain or snow means that the camera does not work sufficiently well.

Action Clean the windscreen surface in front of the camera from dirt, ice and snow. No action. At times the camera does not work during heavy rain or snowfall.

Cause The windscreen surface in front of the camera has been cleaned but the message remains. Dirt has appeared between the inside of the windscreen and the camera.

Action Wait. It may take several minutes for the camera to measure the visibility.
Visit a workshop to have the windscreen inside the camera cover cleaned - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Driver Alert System* The Driver Alert System is intended to assist drivers whose driving ability is deteriorating or who are inadvertently leaving the lane they are driving on.
The Driver Alert System consists of different functions which can either be switched on at the same time or individually:
· Driver Alert Control - DAC (p. 225). · Lane Departure Warning - LDW (p. 229). · Lane Keeping Aid - LKA (p. 234)
A switched-on function is set in standby mode and is not activated automatically until speed exceeds 65 km/h.

· Lane Departure Warning (LDW)* (p. 229) · Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)* (p. 234)

Driver Alert Control (DAC)* The DAC function is intended to attract the driver's attention when he/she starts to drive less consistently, e.g. if he/she becomes distracted or starts to fall asleep.
The objective for DAC is to detect slowly deteriorating driving ability and it is primarily intended for major roads. The function is not intended for city traffic.

The function is deactivated again when speed decreases to below 60 km/h.

Both functions use a camera which is dependent on the lane having side markings painted on each side.

WARNING

Driver Alert System does not work in all

07

situations but is designed merely as a supplementary aid.

The driver always bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely.

A camera detects the side markings painted on the carriageway and compares the section of the road with the driver's steering wheel movements. The driver is alerted if the vehicle does not follow the carriageway evenly. In some cases driving ability is not affected despite driver fatigue. In which case there may not be any warning issued for the driver. For this reason it is always important to stop and take a break in the event of any signs of

NOTE
The function must not be used to extend a period of driving. Always plan breaks at regular intervals, and make sure you are well rested.
Limitation In some cases the system may issue a warning despite driving ability not deteriorating, for example:
· in strong side winds · on rutted road surfaces.
NOTE

WARNING
· The parking camera serves as an aid.
It does not relieve the driver of responsibility when reversing.
· The camera has blind spots, where
obstacles cannot be detected.

The camera shows what is behind the car and if something appears from the sides. The camera shows a wide area behind the car and part of the bumper and any towbar. Objects on the screen may appear to tilt slightly - this is normal.

Park assist camera - limitations The parking camera is an assist system and is activated when reverse gear is engaged.
NOTE
A bike carrier or other accessory mounted on the rear of the car could obscure the camera's view.
To bear in mind Pay attention to the possibility that, even if it only looks like a relatively small part of the image is obscured, it could be a relatively large sector that is hidden from view. Obstacles could thereby go undetected until they are very close to the car.
· Keep the camera lens free from dirt, ice
and snow.
· Clean the camera lens regularly with luke-
warm water and car shampoo - take care not to scratch the lens.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* 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.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - function 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.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and turns the steering wheel - the driver's task is to follow the combined instrument panel's instructions and select the gear (reverse/forward), control the speed, brake and stop.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria are met once the engine has been started:
· The functions DSTC or ABS must not
intervene while the PAP function is enabled - these can be activated due to a steep or slippery surface, for example; see the sections on Foot brake and Stability and traction control system for more information.
· A trailer must not be connected to the
car.
· The speed must be below 50 km/h.

Principle for PAP. The PAP function parks the car using the following steps: 1. The function searches for a parking space
and measures it (A & B) - during measurement the speed must not exceed 30 km/h. 2. The car is steered into the space while reversing (C & D). 3. The car is straightened up in the space by driving back and forth (E & F ).

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - operation 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.
NOTE
Remember that certain steering wheel positions may obstruct the combined instrument panel's instructions when you turn it during the parking manoeuvre.

The PAP function searches for a parking space and checks whether it is big enough. Proceed as follows:
1. Activate PAP by pressing this button and do not drive faster than 30 km/h.
2. Keep an eye on the combined instrument panel and be prepared to stop the car when the graphics and text so request.
3. Stop the car when the graphics and text so request.

1 - Searching and checking measurements

NOTE
PAP searches the area for a parking space, displays instructions and guides the car in on its passenger side. But if required the car can also be parked on the driver's side of the street:
· Activate the direction indicator for the
driver's side - the car is then parked on that side of the street instead.

|| 2 - Reversing in

NOTE
· Keep your hands away from the steer-
ing wheel when the PAP function is activated.
· Make sure that the steering wheel is
not hindered in any way and can rotate freely.
· For optimum results - Wait until the
steering wheel has been turned before starting to drive backwards/forwards.

During the Reversing step, PAP will steer the car into the parking space. Proceed as follows:
1. Check that the area behind the car is clear, then engage reverse gear.
2. Reverse slowly and carefully without touching the steering wheel - and no faster than approx. 7 km/h.
3. Keep an eye on the combined instrument panel and be prepared to stop the car when the graphics and text so request.

3 - Straightening up

07

When the car has reversed into the parking

space, it must be straightened up and stop-

ped.

1. Engage 1st gear or D position, wait until the steering wheel has been turned, then drive slowly forwards.
2. Stop the car when the graphics and text message so request.
3. Engage reverse gear and drive backwards slowly until the graphics and text message tell you to stop.
The function is disengaged automatically when parking is complete, and the graphics and text message show that parking is complete. It may be necessary for the driver to correct the positioning afterwards. Only the driver can determine whether the car is properly parked.
IMPORTANT
The warning distance is shorter when the sensors are used by Active Park Assist compared with when Park Assist uses the sensors.

BLIS* (Blind Spot Information System) - operation BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is a function designed for providing support for the driver when driving in dense traffic on roads with several lanes in the same direction.
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

· 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 constant 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.

The CTA function can be deactivated with the Parking assistance (p. 240) On/Off button.

Principle for CTA.

The BLIS lamp flashes once on activation

CTA supplements the BLIS function by being able to see crossing traffic from the side dur-

07

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.

* 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 situations, but has a certain limitation - for example, 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:

Starting the engine The engine is started and switched off using the remote control key and the START/STOP ENGINE button.
Petrol and diesel engine

1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition switch and press it in to its end position. Note that if the car is equipped with 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.

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 operating temperature as quickly as possible, which minimises exhaust emissions and protects the environment.

08 Starting and driving

Remote start (ERS)* Remote start (ERS ­ Engine Remote Start) means that the car's engine can be started remotely using the remote control key or the PCC key. This is so that the passenger compartment 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 battery 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.

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 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.

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 continue.
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corporation'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.

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 function's symbol illuminating in the combined instrument panel and the On/Off button lamp illuminating. 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 temporarily reduced, e.g. the climate control system's fan speed or extremely high volume on the audio system.

08 Starting and driving

ECO* ECO is an innovative Volvo function for automatic-gearbox cars, capable of reducing fuel consumption by up to 5%, depending on the driver's driving style. The function gives the driver the option of a more active environmentally conscious way of driving.

General

The following are changed upon activation of the ECO function:

· Gearbox gearshift points. · Engine management and response from
the accelerator pedal.
· Start/Stop function - the engine can also
auto-stop before the car has stopped to being fully stationary.
· The Eco Coast function is activated -
engine braking ceases.
· Climate control system settings - some
electricity consumers are deactivated or operate at reduced power.
08

NOTE
When the ECO function is activated, several parameters in the climate control system's settings are changed, and several electricity consumer functions are reduced - a press of the AC button resets the climate control system, but then with reduced AC function. ECO - Operation
ECO On/Off ECO symbol The ECO function is deactivated when the engine is switched off, and must therefore be activated after each time the engine is started. There are exceptions for certain engines. However, it is easily verified by means of both the combined instrument panel ECO symbol and the ECO button lamp illuminating when the function is activated.

ECO function On or Off Disengaged ECO function is indicated by the combined instrument panel ECO symbol and the ECO button lamp extinguishing. The function is then switched off until it is reactivated with the ECO button.
Eco Coast - Function The Eco Coast subfunction means in practice that engine braking is deactivated, meaning in turn that the car's kinetic energy is used to coast for longer distances. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal the gearbox is automatically disengaged from the engine whose speed is reduced to idling speed with minimum consumption. This function is intended for use in the event of an anticipated reduction in speed, e.g. to roll forward to an intersection or a red light. Eco Coast enables proactive driving where the driver can use the so-called "Pulse & Glide" technique and a minimum of braking. Combination On and Off
A combination of Eco Coast and temporarily deactivated ECO function can also collectively contribute to reduced consumption. Accordingly:
· Active Eco Coast: Long coasting without
engine braking = Low consumption

288 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

08 Starting and driving

and
· Deactivated ECO function: Short coasting
with engine braking = Minimum consumption.
NOTE
However, to achieve optimal low fuel consumption, Eco Coast in combination with short coasting distances should generally be avoided.
Activate Eco Coast The function is activated when the accelerator pedal is fully released, in combination with the following parameters:
· The ECO button activated · The gear selector in D position · Speed within the range of
approx. 65-140 km/h
· The road's downhill gradient is not
steeper than approx. 6%.
Deactivate Eco Coast In certain situations it may be desirable to deactivate the Eco Coast function. Examples of such situations include:

Deactivating Eco Coast and returning to engine braking can be performed as follows:
· Press the ECO button. · Move the gear lever to manual "S+/-"
position.
· Change gear with the steering wheel pad-
dle shifters.
· Actuate the accelerator or brake pedal.
Eco Coast - Limitations The function is not available if:
· cruise control is activated · the road's downhill gradient is steeper
than approx. 6%.
· manual gear changing is performed with
the steering wheel paddle shifters*
· engine and/or gearbox are not at normal
operating temperature.
· the gear selector is moved from D- to "S
+/-" position
· speed is outside the range of
approx. 65-140 km/h

and after the car has been washed, it is advisable to carry out cleaning by braking gently for a short period while driving.

All Wheel Drive is always available

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 higher pedal pressure is needed to produce the normal braking effect.

Maintenance To keep the car as safe and reliable as possible, follow the Volvo service intervals as specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet.

The driver's brake pedal pressure is assisted by a brake servo.

IMPORTANT

WARNING

The wear on the brake system's components must be checked regularly.

All Wheel Drive (All Wheel Drive) means that the car is driving all four wheels at the same time. The power is automatically distributed between the front and rear wheels. An electronically 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.

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 a higher pedal pressure 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 Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p. 395).

Contact a workshop for information about the procedure or engage a workshop to carry out the inspection - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Foot brake - anti-lock braking system The anti-lock braking system, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), prevents the wheels from locking up during braking.
The function allows steering ability to be 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 automatically 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.

Foot brake - 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 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 (p. 86) are activated, and they flash until the driver changes engine speed with the accelerator pedal or they are deactivated with their button.

Parking brake The parking brake holds the car stationary, when the driver's seat is empty, by mechanically locking/blocking two wheels.
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 automatic 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 stationary.
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 Jump starting with battery (p. 270).

Fording Fording means that the car is driven through a water-covered roadway. Fording must be carried out with great caution.
The car can be driven through water at a maximum depth of 25 cm at a maximum speed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should be exercised when passing through flowing water.
During driving in water, maintain a low speed and do not stop the car. When the water has been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly and check that full brake function is achieved. Water and mud for example can make the brake linings wet resulting in delayed brake function.
· Clean the electric contacts of the electric
engine block heater and trailer coupling after driving in water and mud.
· Do not let the car stand with water over
the sills for any long period of time - this could cause electrical malfunctions.

IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter. In depths greater than 25 cm, water could enter the transmission. This reduces the lubricating ability of the oils and shortens the service life of these systems. In the event of the engine stalling in water, do not try restart - tow the car from the water to a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. Risk of engine breakdown.

Overload - starter battery The electrical functions in the car load the starter battery (p. 361) to varying degrees. Avoid using the key position (p. 70) II when the engine is switched off. Instead use the I mode - which uses less power.
Also, be aware of different accessories that load the electrical system. Do not use functions which use a lot of power when the engine is switched off. Examples of such functions are:
· ventilation fan · headlamps · windscreen wiper · audio system (high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low then the combined instrument panel's information display shows the text Low battery Power save mode. The energy-saving function then shuts down certain functions or reduces certain functions such as the ventilation fan and/or audio system.
­ In which case, charge the battery by starting the engine and then running it for at least 15 minutes - starter battery charging is more effective during driving than running the engine at idling speed while stationary.

Before a long journey Before a long journey, it makes good sense to go through the following points:
· Check that the engine is working normally
and that fuel consumption (p. 403) is normal.
· Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oil
or other fluid).
· Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths. · Carrying a warning triangle (p. 329) is a
legal requirement in certain countries.
Related information
· Engine oil - checking and filling (p. 346) · Changing wheels - removing wheels (p.
324)
· Lamp replacement (p. 352)

Winter driving For winter driving it is important to perform certain checks in order to ensure that the car can be driven safely.
Check the following in particular before the cold season:
· The engine coolant (p. 349) must contain
at least 50% glycol. This mixture protects the engine against frost erosion down to approximately ­35 °C. To achieve optimum antifreeze protection, different types of glycol must not be mixed.
· The fuel tank must be kept filled to pre-
vent condensation.
· Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils with
lower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate starting in cold weather and also reduce fuel consumption while the engine is cold. For more information on suitable oils, see Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p. 395).
IMPORTANT
Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard driving or in hot weather.

starter battery and its capacity is reduced by the cold.
· Use washer fluid (p. 361) to avoid ice
forming in the washer fluid reservoir. To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo recommends using winter tyres on all wheels if there is a risk of snow or ice.
NOTE
The use of winter tyres is a legal requirement in certain countries. Studded tyres are not permitted in all countries.
Slippery driving conditions Practise driving on slippery surfaces under controlled conditions to learn how the car reacts.

Fuel - handling Fuel of a lower quality than that recommended by Volvo must not be used as engine power and fuel consumption is negatively affected.
WARNING
Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and getting fuel splashes in the eyes. In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove any contact lenses and rinse the eyes in plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol, bioethanol and mixtures of them and diesel are highly toxic and could cause permanent injury or be fatal if swallowed. Seek medical attention immediately if fuel has been swallowed.
WARNING
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ignited.

IMPORTANT
Mixing different types of fuel or the use of fuel not recommended invalidates Volvo's guarantees, and any associated service agreement. This applies to all engines. NOTE: It does not apply to cars with engines that are adapted to run on ethanol fuel (E85).
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combination with fuel grade are factors that could affect the car's performance.

contaminants in the fuel, such as excessively high volumes of sulphur particles for example. At low temperatures (-6 °C to -40 °C), a paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel, which may lead to ignition problems. Special diesel fuel designed for low temperatures around freezing point is available from the major oil companies. This fuel is less viscous at low temperatures and reduces the risk of paraffin precipitate. The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is reduced if the tank is kept well filled. When refuelling, check that the area around the fuel filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the paintwork. Wash off any spillage with detergent and water.
IMPORTANT

· FAME15 (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) and
vegetable oil. These fuels do not fulfil the requirements in accordance with Volvo recommendations and generate increased wear and engine damage that is not covered by the Volvo warranty.
Empty tank The design of the fuel system in a diesel engine means that if the vehicle runs out of fuel, the tank may need to be vented in the workshop in order to restart the engine after fuelling. Once the engine has stopped due to fuel starvation, the fuel system needs a few moments to carry out a check. Do this before starting the engine, once the fuel tank has been filled with diesel:

Catalytic converters The purpose of the catalytic converters is to purify exhaust gases. They are located close to the engine so that operating temperature is reached quickly.

4. To start the engine: Depress the brake and/or clutch pedal and then press the START button again.
NOTE
Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel shortage:

The catalytic converters consist of a monolith (ceramic or metal) with channels. The channel walls are lined with a thin layer of platinum/ rhodium/palladium. These metals act as catalysts, i.e. they participate in and accelerate a chemical reaction without being used up themselves.

· Stop the car on as flat/level ground as
possible - if the car is tilting there is a risk of air pockets in the fuel supply.
Draining condensation from the fuel filter The fuel filter separates condensation from the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine operation. The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet or if you suspect that the car has been filled with contaminated fuel. For more information, see Volvo service programme (p. 340).
IMPORTANT

Lambda-sondTM oxygen sensor The Lambda-sond is part of a control system intended to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy (see Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (p. 403)).
An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen content of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. This value is fed into an electronic system that continuously controls the injectors. The ratio of fuel to air directed to the engine is continuously adjusted. These adjustments create optimal conditions for efficient combustion, and together with the three-way catalytic converter reduce harmful emissions (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides).

WARNING
Methanol must not be used. A decal on the inside of the fuel filler flap shows the correct alternative fuel. The use of components not designed for bioethanol engines could cause fire, injury or engine damage.
Reserve fuel can The reserve fuel can should be filled with petrol. For more information, see Starting the engine ­ Flexifuel (p. 269).
IMPORTANT
Make sure the reserve fuel can is securely fastened and that its cap is sealed.
WARNING
Ethanol is sensitive to sparks, and explosive gases could form in the reserve fuel can if it is refuelled with ethanol.

Trailer stabiliser - TSA17 The trailer stability assist (TSA - Trailer Stability Assist) function is designed to stabilise the car and trailer combination if it begins to snake.
The trailer stability assist is included in the stability and traction control system (p. 175) (DSTC - Dynamic Stability and Traction Control).
Function The snaking phenomenon can occur with any car/trailer combination. Snaking normally occurs at high speeds. But, there is a risk of it occurring at lower speeds (70-90 km/h) if the trailer is overloaded or the load is improperly distributed, e.g. too far back.
In order for snaking to occur, there must be a triggering factor, e.g.:
· Car with trailer subjected to a sudden and
powerful side wind.
· Car with trailer drives on an uneven road
surface or in a pothole.
· Sweeping steering wheel movements.
Operation If snaking has started, it could be difficult or even impossible to suppress. This makes the car/trailer combination difficult to control and there is a risk that you could, for example,

08 Starting and driving

end up in the wrong lane or leave the carriageway. The trailer stability assist continually monitors the car's movements, particularly lateral movements. If snaking is detected, the front wheels are individually braked. This serves to stabilise the car/trailer combination. This is often enough to help the driver regain control of the car. If snaking is not eliminated the first time the trailer stability assist comes into action, the car/trailer combination is braked with all wheels and engine power is reduced. Once snaking has been gradually suppressed and the car/trailer combination is stable once again, the system stops regulating and the driver once again has full control of the car. For more information, see Stability and traction control system (DSTC) - operation (p. 176)
Miscellaneous The trailer stability assist can engage within the speed interval 60-160 km/h.

such a situation the system cannot determine whether it is the trailer or the driver that is causing the snaking.
When the trailer stability assist is working, the combined instrument panel's DSTC symbol flashes. Related information

G021778

The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation. The tyre must always rotate in the same direction throughout its lifespan. Tyres should only be switched between front and rear positions, never between left and right-hand sides, or vice versa. If the tyres are fitted incorrectly, the car's braking characteristics and capacity to force rain and slush out of the way are adversely affected. Tyres with the greatest tread depth should always be fitted to the rear of the car (to decrease the risk of skidding).

Tyres - maintenance Amongst other things, the function of the tyres is to provide grip on the road surface, dampen vibration and protect the wheel from wear.
Driving characteristics Tyres greatly affect the car's driving characteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre pressure and speed rating are important for how the car performs.
Tyre age All tyres older than 6 years old should be checked by an expert even if they seem undamaged. Tyres age and decompose, even if they are hardly ever or never used. The function can therefore be affected. This applies to all tyres that are stored for future use. Examples of external signs which indicate that the tyre is unsuitable for use are cracks or discoloration.

Tyres are perishable. After a few years they begin to harden at the same time as the friction capacity/characteristics gradually deteriorate. For this reason, aim to get as fresh tyres as possible when you replace them. This is especially important with regard to winter tyres. The last four digits in the sequence mean the week and year of manufacture. This is the tyre's DOT marking (Department of Transportation), and this is stated with four digits, for example 1510. The tyre in the figure was manufactured in week 15 of 2010.

wear (> 1 mm difference in tread depth) between tyres have already occurred, the least worn tyres must always be placed on the rear. Understeer is normally easier to correct than oversteer, and leads to the car continuing forwards in a straight line rather than having the rear end skidding to one side, resulting in possible complete loss of control over the car. This is why it is important for the rear wheels never to lose grip before the front wheels. Wheels should be stored lying down or hanging up - and not standing up.

Summer and winter tyres When summer and winter wheels are changed the wheels should be marked with which side of the car they were mounted on, for example L for left and R for right.

WARNING
A damaged tyre may lead to loss of control over the car.

Wheel bolts

A tread wear indicator shows the status of the tyre's tread.

Wheel bolts are used to fasten the wheels at the hubs and are available in different versions.

IMPORTANT
The wheel bolts must be tightened to 140 Nm. Overtightening can damage the nuts and the bolts.

Tools Amongst other things, the car contains towing eye, jack* and wheel bolt wrench*.

Tread wear indicators. Tread wear indicators are narrow treadless bands across the width of the tread. On the side of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread Wear Indicator). When the tyre's tread depth is down to 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be level in height with the tread wear indicators. Change to new tyres as soon as possible. Remember that tyres with little tread depth provide very poor grip in rain and snow.

Winter tyres

09

Winter tyres are tyres that are adapted for winter road conditions.

Winter tyres Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent on engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, the correct type of tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.

NOTE
Volvo recommends that you consult a Volvo dealer about which wheel rim and tyre types are most suitable.

Studded tyres Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properly into the tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially the studs, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded tyres vary from country to country.

Tread depth Road conditions with ice, slush and low temperatures place considerably higher demands on tyres than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recommends not to drive on winter tyres that have a tread depth of less than 4 mm.

Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow

chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this

wears out both the snow chains and tyres.

WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent chains designed for the car model, and tyre and rim dimensions. In the event of uncertainty Volvo recommends that you consult an authorised Volvo workshop. The wrong snow chains may cause serious damage to your car and lead to an accident.

19-inch wheels must never be used on cars that are not equipped with the RDesign or Sport chassis options. The use of 19-inch wheels on cars with standard chassis constitutes a safety risk, with a risk of vehicle damage, and it impairs the car's driving characteristics.

Load index indicates a tyre's ability to carry a certain load. Each tyre has a certain capacity to carry a load, a load index (LI). The car's weight determines the load capacity required of the tyres. Minimum permissible index is indicated in the load index table.

Each tyre can withstand a certain maximum speed and therefore belongs to a particular speed rating (SS - Speed Symbol). Tyre speed class must at least correspond with the car's top speed. Minimum speed rating is indicated in the speed rating table below. The only exception to these regula-

Spare wheel* The following instructions only apply if a spare wheel has been purchased as an accessory for the car. If the car is not equipped with a spare wheel - see information about Emergency puncture repair (TMK) (p. 333).
The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only intended for use temporarily and must be replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as possible. The car's handling may be altered by the use of the spare wheel. The spare wheel is smaller than the normal wheel. The car's ground clearance is affected accordingly. Pay attention to high kerbs and do not machine wash the car. If the spare wheel is fitted on the front axle, you cannot use snow chains at the same time. On all-wheel drive cars the drive on the rear axle can be disconnected. The spare wheel must not be repaired.
The correct tyre pressure for the spare wheel is stated in the tyre pressure table (p. 407).

IMPORTANT · Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a
spare wheel on the car.
· The car must never be driven fitted
with more than one "Temporary Spare" wheel. The spare wheel is supplied in a bag which must be secured on the cargo area floor using straps.

09 Tyre pressure monitoring* recommendations Tyre pressure monitoring TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)7 warns the driver when the pressure is too low in one or more of the car's tyres. · Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors are fitted to all wheels on the car. · Volvo recommends that sensors are not moved between different wheels.
WARNING
When inflating a tyre equipped with TPMS, hold the nozzle of the pump directly against the valve to avoid damaging the valve.
Related information
· Tyre pressure monitoring* (p. 330)

Tyre pressure monitoring - driveable punctured tyres* If SST (Self Supporting run flat Tires)* is selected, the car is also equipped with TPMS (p. 330).
This type of tyre has a specially reinforced side wall that makes continued driving possible to a limited extent despite the tyre losing all or some of its pressure. These tyres are fitted on a special rim. (Normal tyres can also be fitted to this rim.) If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the yellow TPMS lamp in the combined instrument panel illuminates and a message is shown in the information display. If this occurs, reduce speed to max. 80 km/h. The tyre must be replaced as soon as possible. Drive carefully, in some cases it can be difficult to see which tyre is faulty. In order to establish which tyre needs attention, check all four tyres.

WARNING
Only people with knowledge of SST tyres should fit them. SST tyres must only be fitted together with TPMS. After an error message about low tyre pressure has been shown, do not drive faster than 80 km/h. Maximum mileage before tyre replacement is 80 km. Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking or turning. SST tyres must be replaced if they are damaged or punctured.

IMPORTANT

10

In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.

Volvo recommends:

An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil for both filling and oil change, otherwise you will risk affecting service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.

Volvo recommends that oil changes are carried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.

Volvo uses different systems for warning of low/high oil level or low/high oil pressure. Certain engine variants have an oil pressure sensor, and then the combined instrument panel's warning symbol for low oil pressure is used. Other variants have an oil level sensor, when the driver is informed via the instru-

The oil level must be between the MIN and MAX marks.
Measurement and filling if required 1. Ensure that the car is level. After switch-
ing off the engine it is important to wait 5 minutes to allow the oil time to run back to the sump. 2. Pull up and wipe the dipstick. 3. Re-insert the dipstick.

Volvo recommends checking the oil level every 2 500 km. The most accurate measurements are made on a cold engine before starting. The measurement will be inaccurate if taken immediately after the engine is switched off. The dipstick will indicate that the level is too low because the oil has not had time to flow down into the oil sump.

4. Pull it out and check the level. 5. If the level is close to MIN then 0.5 litres
should be added. If the level is significantly below, then an additional amount is required. 6. If required, check the level again, do it after driving a short distance. Then repeat steps 1-4.

operating temperature, unscrew the expansion tank cap slowly to gently

release the overpressure.

For capacities and for standards regarding water quality; see Coolant - grade and volume (p. 398).
Check the coolant regularly The level must lie between the MIN and MAX marks on the expansion tank. If the system is not filled sufficiently, high temperatures could occur, causing a risk of damage to the engine.

IMPORTANT
· A high content of chlorine, chlorides
and other salts may cause corrosion in the cooling system.
· Always use coolant with anti-corrosion
agent as recommended by Volvo.
· Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50%
water and 50% coolant.
· Mix the coolant with approved quality
tap water. In the event of any doubt about water quality, used ready-mixed coolant in accordance with Volvo recommendations.
· When changing coolant/replacing
cooling system components, flush the cooling system clean with approved quality tap water or flush with readymixed coolant.
· The engine must only be run with a
well-filled cooling system. Otherwise, temperatures that are too high may occur resulting in the risk of damage (cracks) in the cylinder head.

Brake and clutch fluid - level Brake and clutch fluid level should be between the reservoir MIN and MAX marks.
Checking the level Brake and clutch fluid have a common reservoir. The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks that are visible inside the reservoir. Check the level regularly. Change the brake fluid every other year or at every other regular service. For capacities and recommended brake fluid grade, see Brake fluid - grade and volume (p. 401). The fluid should be changed annually on cars driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent braking, such as driving in mountains or tropical climates with high humidity.

See Jump starting with battery (p. 270) for a description of how the cable clamps must be attached.

NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if it becomes discharged repeatedly. The life of the battery is affected by several factors, including driving conditions and climate. Battery starting capacity decreases gradually with time and therefore needs to be recharged if the car is not used for a longer time or when it is only driven short distances. Extreme cold further limits starting capacity. To maintain the battery in good condition, at least 15 minutes of driving/week is recommended or that the battery is connected to a battery charger with automatic trickle charging. A battery that is kept fully charged has a maximum service life.

A workshop should be contacted in the event of questions or problems - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed then the Start/Stop function may temporarily cease to work after the connection of an external battery or battery charger:
· The negative battery terminal on the
car's starter battery must never be used for connecting an external battery or battery charger - only the car chassis may be used as the grounding point. See Jump starting with battery (p. 270) for a description of how the cable clamps must be attached.

NOTE
If the battery has become so discharged that everything is "black" and in principle the car does not have all the normal electrical functions and the engine is subsequently started using an external battery or battery charger, then the Start/Stop function will be activated. It will then be possible for the engine to be auto-stopped but in the event of an auto-stop the Start/Stop function may fail to auto-start the engine due to inadequate capacity in the battery. The battery must first be charged in order to ensure a successful auto-start after an auto-stop. At an outside temperature of +15 °C the battery needs to be charged for at least 1 hour. At a lower outside temperature a charging time of 3-4 hours is recommended. The recommendation is that the battery is charged using an external battery charger. If this is not possible then the recommendation is to temporarily deactivate the Start/Stop function until the battery has been adequately recharged. For more information on charging the starter battery, see Battery (p. 361).

· Fuses - in the engine compartment's cold
zone (p. 377) 10

If an electrical component or function does not work, it may be because the component's fuse was temporarily overloaded and failed. If the same fuse fails repeatedly then there is a fault in the circuit. Volvo recommends that you visit an authorised Volvo workshop for checking.

Changing 1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the
fuse.
2. Pull out the fuse and check from the side to see whether the curved wire has blown.
3. If this is the case, replace it with a new fuse of the same colour and amperage.

10 Maintenance and service

Car washing The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. Wash the car in a car wash with oil separator. Use car shampoo.
Washing by hand
· Remove bird droppings from the paint-
work as soon as possible. Bird droppings contain chemicals that affect and discolour paintwork very quickly. An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended for the removal of any discoloration.
· Hose down the underbody. · Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirt
has been removed so as to reduce the risk of scratches from washing. Do not spray directly onto the locks.
· If necessary, use cold degreasing agent
on very dirty surfaces. Note that in this case, the surfaces must not be hot from the sun!
· Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and
plenty of lukewarm water.
· Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm
soap solution or car shampoo.
· Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or
a water scraper. If you avoid allowing drops of water to dry in strong sunlight, you reduce the risk of water drying stains which may need to be polished out.

WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a workshop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is hot.
IMPORTANT
Dirty headlamps have impaired functionality. Clean them regularly, when refuelling for example. Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents but use water and a non-scratching sponge instead.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog lamps and rear lamps may temporarily have condensation on the inside of the lens. This is normal, all exterior lighting is designed to withstand this. Condensation is normally vented out of the lamp housing when the lamp has been switched on for a time.
Wiper blades Asphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades, as well as insects, ice etc. on the windscreen, impair the service life of wiper blades. For cleaning: - Set the wiper blades to the service position, see Wiper blades (p. 359).

NOTE

Wash the wiper blades and windscreen

regularly with lukewarm soap solution or

car shampoo. Do not use any strong solvents.

10

Automatic car washes An automatic car wash is a simple and quick way of washing the car, but it cannot reach everywhere. Handwashing the car is recommended for achieving optimum results.
NOTE
The car must only be washed by hand over the first few months. This is because the paint is more delicate when it is new.

High-pressure washing When using high-pressure washing, use sweeping movements and make sure that the nozzle does not come closer than 30 cm to the surface of the car (the distance applies to all exterior parts). Do not spray directly onto the locks.

10 Maintenance and service

|| Testing the brakes

IMPORTANT

WARNING

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber.

10

Always test the brakes after washing the car, including the parking brake, to ensure

that moisture and corrosion do not attack

the brake linings and reduce braking per-

formance.

Lightly depress the brake pedal now and then when driving long distances in rain or slush. The heat from the friction causes the brake

Related information
· Polishing and waxing (p. 380) · Cleaning the interior (p. 381) · Water and dirt-repellent coating (p. 381)

Polishing and waxing Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull or to give the paintwork extra protection. The car does not need to be polished until it is at least one year old. However, the car can be waxed during this time. Do not polish or wax the car in direct sunlight. Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt and tar stains using tar remover or white spirit. More stubborn stains can be removed using fine rubbing paste designed for car paintwork. Polish first with a polish and then wax with liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on the packaging carefully. Many preparations contain both polish and wax.
IMPORTANT
Only paint treatment recommended by Volvo should be used. Other treatment such as preserving, sealing, protection, lustre sealing or similar could damage the paintwork. Paintwork damage caused by such treatments is not covered by Volvo warranty.

Inspection and maintenance Dirt and road salt can lead to corrosion so it is important to keep the car clean. The car's rustproofing needs to be checked regularly and touched-up if necessary in order for it to be maintained.

Take hold of the inlay mat at each pin and lift the mat straight up.

· To avoid damaging glass surfaces when
removing ice ­ only use plastic ice scrapers.
· Treatment with a special finishing agent
available from Volvo dealers is recommended in order to maintain the waterrepellent properties. This should be used first after three years and then each year.
IMPORTANT

Under normal conditions the rustproofing does not require treatment for approximately 12 years. After this period, it should be treated at three-year intervals. Volvo recommends that you engage an authorised Volvo workshop for assistance if the car needs further treatment. Related information
· Paint damage (p. 383)

Fit the inlay mat in place by pressing it in at each pin.
WARNING
Before setting off check that the inlaid mat in the driver area is firmly affixed and secured in the bosses in order to avoid getting caught adjacent to and under the pedals.

Do not use a metal ice scraper to remove ice from the windows. Use the heating to remove ice from the door mirrors, see Windows and rearview and door mirrors heating (p. 96).

A special textile cleaner is recommended for stains on the floor mat after vacuuming. Floor mats should be cleaned with agents recommended by your Volvo dealer.

3. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine brush, a matchstick or similar. Finish off with a basecoat and clearcoat once the primer has dried.
4. For scratches, proceed as above, but mask around the damaged area to protect the undamaged paintwork.

Before work is begun, the car must be clean and dry and at a temperature above 15 °C. 1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape to remove any loose paint. If the damage is down to the metal, use of a primer is appropriate. In the event of damage to a plastic surface, an adhesive primer should be used to give better results - spray into the lid of the spray can and brush on thinly. 2. Before painting, gentle polishing using a very fine polishing agent may be carried out locally if required (e.g. if there are any uneven edges). The surface is cleaned thoroughly and left to dry.

The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a car without extra equipment or accessories. This means that for every accessory added the loading capacity of the car is reduced correspondingly by the weight of the accessory. Examples of accessories that reduce loading capacity are the Kinetic/Momentum/ Summum equipment levels, as well as other accessories such as Towbar, Load carriers, Space box, Audio system, Auxiliary lamps, GPS, Fuel-driven heater, Safety grille, Carpets, Cargo cover, Power seats, etc. Weighing the car is a certain way of ascertaining the kerb weight of your own particular car.

· in temperatures colder than -30 °C or
hotter than +40 °C.

IMPORTANT

The above also apply to shorter driving distances at low temperatures. Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adverse driving conditions. It provides extra protection for the engine. Volvo recommends:

In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.

An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil for both filling and oil change, otherwise you will risk affecting service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.

Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.

Volvo recommends that oil changes are carried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.

3 Official fuel consumption figures are based on two standardised driving cycles in a laboratory environment ("EU driving cycles") all in accordance with EU Regulation no 692/2008 and 715/2007 (Euro 5 / Euro 6) and UN ECE Regulation no 101. The regulations cover the driving cycles for urban driving and extra-urban driving. - Urban driving - the measurement starts with cold starting the engine. The driving is simulated. - Extra-urban driving - the car is accelerated and braked at speeds between 0 and 120 km/h. The driving is simulated. - A car with T3, D2, D3, D4 or D5 engine and 6-speed manual gearbox is started in 2nd gear. The combined driving value given in the table is a combination of urban driving and extra-urban driving, in accordance with applicable legislation. CO2 emissions - the exhaust gases are collected in order to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions during the two driving cycles. These are then analysed and give the value for CO2 emissions.
