Reading the Owner’s Manual

Introduction

A good way of getting to know your new car is to read the owner’s manual, ideally before your first journey. This will give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with new functions, to see how best to handle the car in different sit- uations, and to make the best use of all the car’s features. Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the manual.

The specifications, design features and illus- trations in this owner’s manual are not binding. We reserve the right to make modifications without prior notice. Volvo Car Corporation

Option

All types of option/accessory are marked with an asterisk*.

In addition to standard equipment, this manual also describes options (factory fitted equip- ment) and certain accessories (retrofitted extra equipment).

The equipment described in the owner’s man- ual is not available in all cars — they have dif- ferent 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 stand- ard or an option/accessory, contact a Volvo dealer.

Special texts

WARNING

Warning texts advise of a risk of personal injury.

IMPORTANT

Important texts advise of a risk of material damage.

NOTE

NOTE texts give advice or tips that facilitate the use of features and functions for exam- ple.

Footnote

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.

Message texts

There are displays in the car that show text messages. These text messages are high-

lighted 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 mes- sage 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.

Recording data

Your vehicle contains a number of computers whose function is to continuously check and monitor the vehicle’s operation and function- ality. Some of the computers can record infor- mation during normal driving if they detect an error. In addition, information is recorded in the event of a crash or incident. Parts of the recor- ded information are required so that techni- cians can diagnose and rectify faults in the vehicle during servicing and maintenance and so that Volvo can fulfil legal requirements and other regulations. In addition to this, the infor- mation is used for research purposes by Volvo in order to continually develop quality and safety, as the information can contribute to a better understanding of the factors that cause accidents and injuries. The information includes details of the status and functionality of various systems and modules in the vehicle with regard to engine, throttle, steering and brake systems, amongst other things. This information may include details regarding the

way the driver drives the vehicle, such as vehi- cle speed, brake and accelerator pedal use, steering wheel movement and whether or not the driver and passengers have used their seatbelts. For the reasons given this informa- tion may be stored in the vehicle’s computers for a certain length of time, but also as a result of a collision or incident. This information may be stored by Volvo as long as it can help to further develop and further enhance safety and quality and as long as there are legal require- ments and other regulations that Volvo needs to consider.

Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri- bed information being disclosed to third parties without the vehicle owner’s consent. However, due to national legislation and regulations Volvo may be required to disclose such infor- mation to authorities such as police authorities, or others who may assert a legal right to have access to it.

To be able to read and interpret the information recorded by the computers in the vehicle requires special technical equipment that Volvo, and workshops that have entered into agreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvo is responsible that the information, which is transferred to Volvo during servicing and main- tenance, is stored and handled in a secure manner and that the handling complies with

applicable legal requirements. For further infor- mation — contact a Volvo dealer.

Accessories and extra equipment

The incorrect connection and installation of accessories can negatively affect the car’s electrical system. Certain accessories only function when their associated software is installed in the car’s computer system. Volvo therefore recommends that you always con- tact an authorised Volvo workshop before installing accessories which are connected to or affect the electrical system.

Change of ownership for cars with Volvo On Call*

Volvo On Call is a supplemental service that consists of safety, security and comfort serv- ices. If the car has Volvo On Call and there is a change of owner, it is very important that these services are discontinued so that the former owner cannot access the services in the car. Contact the call centre by pressing the ON

CALL button in the car or contact an author- ised Volvo workshop. See also «Changing the security code» in the owner’s manual for Volvo On Call.

Laser sensor

This vehicle is equipped with a sensor which transmits laser light. It is absolutely essential to follow the prescribed instructions when han- dling the laser sensor.

The following two labels in English are fitted directly on the laser sensor unit:

The upper label in the figure describes the laser beam’s classification:

Laser radiation — Do not look into the laser beam with optical instruments — Class 1M laser product.

The lower label in the figure describes the laser beam’s physical data:

IEC 60825-1:1993 + A2:2001. Complies with FDA (U.S. Food Administration) stand- ards for laser product design with the

exception of deviations in accordance with «Laser Notice No. 50» from 26 July 2001.

Radiation data for the laser sensor

The following table specifies the laser sensor’s physical data.

Maximum pulse energy 2.64 J

Maximum average output 45 mW

Pulse duration 33 ns

Divergence (horizontal x verti- cal)

28 12

WARNING

If any of these instructions are not followed then there is a risk of eye injury!

Never look into the laser sensor (which emits spreading invisible laser radiation) at a distance of 100 mm or closer with magnifying optics such as a magnifying glass, microscope, lens or similar opti- cal instruments.

Testing, repair, removal, adjustment and/or replacement of the laser sen- sor’s spare parts must only be carried out by a qualified workshop — we rec- ommend an authorised Volvo work- shop.

To avoid exposure to harmful radiation, do not carry out any readjustments or maintenance other than those specified here.

The repairer must follow specially drawn up workshop information for the laser sensor.

Do not remove the laser sensor (this includes removing the lenses). A removed laser sensor does not fulfil laser class 3B as per standard IEC 60825-1. Laser class 3B is not eye-safe and therefore entails a risk of injury.

Introduction

Important information

10

The laser sensor’s connector must be unplugged before removal from the windscreen.

The laser sensor must be fitted onto the windscreen before the sensor’s con- nector is plugged in.

The laser sensor transmits laser light when the remote control key is in posi- tion II and also with the engine switched off (see page 76 on key positions).

For more information on the laser sensor, see page 182.

Introduction

Volvo and the environment

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 11

Volvo Cars’ environmental philosophy

G 00 00 00

Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo- ration’s core values which influence all opera- tions. We also believe that our customers share our consideration for the environment.

Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufac- tured in one of the cleanest and most resource- efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corpo- ration 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 emis- sion of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.

It is possible for the driver to influence fuel con- sumption. For more information read under the heading, Reducing environmental impact.

Efficient emission control

Your Volvo is manufactured following the con- cept «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 com- partment via the air intake.

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Inte- rior Air Quality System) ensures that the incom- ing air is cleaner than the air in the traffic out- side.

The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni- tored continuously and if there is an increase in

Introduction

Volvo and the environment

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

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.

Interior

The interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea- sant and comfortable, even for people with contact allergies and for asthma sufferers. Extreme attention has been given to choosing environmentally-compatible materials.

Volvo workshops and the environment

Regular maintenance creates the conditions for a long service life and low fuel consumption for your car. In this way you contribute to a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s workshops are entrusted with the service and mainte- nance of your car it becomes part of our sys- tem. Volvo makes clear demands regarding the way in which our workshops are designed in order to prevent spills and discharges into the environment. Our workshop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmental care.

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 Service and War- ranty Booklet’s recommended intervals.

If the car is equipped with an engine block heater*, use it before starting from cold — it improves starting capacity and reduces wear in cold weather and the engine rea- ches normal operating temperature more quickly, which lowers consumption and reduces emissions.

High speed increases consumption con- siderably due to increased wind resistance — a doubling of speed increases wind resis- tance 4 times.

Always dispose of environmentally hazar- dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. Consult a workshop in the event of uncertainty about how this type of waste should be discarded — an authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended.

Following this advice can save money, the planet’s resources are saved, and the car’s durability is extended. For more information and further advice, see the pages 264 and 355.

Recycling

As a part of Volvo’s environmental work, it is important that the car is recycled in an envi- ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of the car can be recycled. The last owner of the car is therefore requested to contact a dealer for referral to a certified/approved recycling facility.

General information

Heavy braking can have serious consequences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all passengers use their seatbelts.

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.

Putting on a seatbelt

Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by press- ing its locking tab into the seatbelt buckle. A loud «click» indicates that the belt has locked.

Correctly fitted seatbelt.

Incorrectly fitted seatbelt. The belt must rest on the shoulder.

Height adjustment of seatbelt’s upper fix-point. Press in the button and move the upper fix-point vertically. Position the upper fix-point as high as possible without the belt chafing against your throat.

The buckles only fit the intended lock in the rear seat1.

Releasing the seatbelt

Press the red button on the seatbelt buckle and then let the belt retract. If the seatbelt does not retract fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not hang loose.

The seatbelt locks and cannot be with-

drawn:

if it is pulled out too quickly

during braking and acceleration

if the car leans heavily.

Make sure that you:

do not use clips or anything else that can prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly

ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or caught on anything

the hip strap must be positioned low down (not over the abdomen)

tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder.

WARNING

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat- belt 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 per- son.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seatbelts your- self. 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 seat- belt 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 type-approved and intended for installation in the same position as the replaced seatbelt.

Seatbelts and pregnancy

G 02

09 98

The seatbelt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is then crucial that it be worn

in the correct way. 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 should adjust their seats and steering wheel 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 aim should be to posi- tion the seat with as large a distance as possi- ble between abdomen and steering wheel.

01 Safety

Seatbelts 01

Seatbelt reminder

G 01

77 26

Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fasten their seatbelts by means of an audio and visual reminder. The audio reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time depend- ent. The visual reminder is located in the roof console and the combined instrument panel.

Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt reminder system.

Rear seat

The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two subfunctions:

Provides information on which seatbelts are being used in the rear seat. A message appears in the information display when the seatbelts are in use, or if one of the rear doors has been opened. The message is cleared automatically after driving for approximately 30 seconds or after press- ing the indicator stalk’s READ button.

Provides a warning if one of the rear seat- belts is unfastened during travel. This warning takes the form of a message on the information display along with the audio/visual signal. The warning stops when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can also be acknowledged manually by press- ing the READ button.

The message on the information display show- ing which seatbelts are in use is always avail- able. Press the READ button to see stored messages.

Certain markets

An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remind the driver and front seat passenger to use a seatbelt if either of them is not wearing one. At low speed, the audio reminder will sound for the first 6 seconds.

Seatbelt tensioner

All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten- sioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt tensioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a suffi- ciently violent collision. The seatbelt then pro- vides more effective restraint for the occu- pants.

WARNING

Never insert the tongue of the passenger’s seatbelt into the buckle on the driver’s side. Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt into the buckle on the correct side. Do not make any damages on seatbelts nor insert any foreign objects into a buckle. The seatbelts and buckles would then possibly not func- tion as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serous injury.

01 Safety

Airbags 01

19

Warning symbol on the combined instrument panel

The warning symbol in the combined instru- ment panel illuminates when the remote con- trol key is in key position II or III. The symbol clears after approx. 6 seconds provided the airbag system is fault-free.

WARNING

If the warning symbol for the airbag system remains illuminated or illuminates while driv- ing, it means that the airbag system does not have full functionality. The symbol indi- cates a fault in the seatbelt tensioner sys- tem, SIPS, the IC system or some other fault in the system. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately.

As well as the warning symbol, a message may appear on the information display in appropri- ate cases. If the warning symbol malfunctions, the warning triangle illuminates and SRS

Airbag system

G 01

86 65

Airbag system, left-hand drive car.

G 01

86 66

Airbag system, right-hand drive car.

The system consists of airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely nor- mal. 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 per- sonal injury.

01 Safety

Airbags 01

20

NOTE

The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether or not the seatbelts on the driver and passen- ger side are used.

It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli- sion. The airbag system senses the force of the collision on the car and adapts accord- ingly so that one or more airbags are deployed.

The capacity of the airbags is also adapted to the collision force to which the vehicle is subjected.

Airbag on the driver’s side

The car has an airbag to supplement the pro- tection afforded by the seatbelt on the driver’s side. It is folded up into the centre of the steer- ing wheel. The steering wheel is marked AIRBAG.

WARNING

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

Passenger airbag

The car has an airbag to supplement the pro- tection afforded by the seatbelt on the passen- ger side. It is folded up into a compartment above the glovebox. Its cover panel is marked AIRBAG.

WARNING

To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright as possible with their feet on the floor and backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must be secured.

WARNING

Do not put objects in front of or above the dashboard where the passenger airbag is located.

Side airbag

G 03

29 49

In a side impact collision a large proportion of the collision force is transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pil- lars, the floor, the roof and other structural 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 back- rests.

WARNING

Volvo recommends that repairs are only carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop. Defective work in the SIPS- bag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.

Do not put objects in the area between the outside of the seat and the door panel, since this area is required by the side airbag.

Volvo recommends the use only of car seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.

The side airbag is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

Child seats and side airbags

The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the side airbag.

A child seat or booster cushion can be placed on the front passenger seat provided that the car does not have an activated1 passenger air- bag.

The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is a part of SIPS and the airbags. 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. The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and passengers from striking their heads on the inside of the car during a collision.

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 pro- tection. 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. Other- wise, the intended protection of the inflat- able curtain, which is concealed in the head- lining, may be compromised.

WARNING

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts.

Always use a seatbelt.

01 Safety

WHIPS 01

27

Protection against whiplash injury WHIPS

The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con- sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe- cially designed head restraints in the front seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end collision, where the angle and speed of the col- lision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle all have an influence.

WARNING

The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

Properties of the seat

When the WHIPS system is deployed, the front seat backrests are lowered backward to alter the seating position of the driver and front seat passenger. This reduces the risk of whiplash injury.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

WHIPS system and child seats/booster

cushions

The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the WHIPS system.

Correct seating position

For the best possible protection, the driver and front seat passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with as little space as possible between the head and the head restraint.

Do not obstruct the WHIPS system

Do not leave any objects on the floor behind the driver’s seat/passenger seat that may prevent the WHIPS system from functioning.

WARNING

Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear seat cushion and the front seat back- rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the function of the WHIPS system.

01 Safety

WHIPS 01

28

Do not place objects on the rear seat that may prevent the WHIPS system from functioning.

WARNING

If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the corresponding front seat must be moved forward so that it does not touch the folded backrest.

WARNING

If a seat has been subjected to extreme forces, such as due to a rear-end collision, the WHIPS system must be checked. Volvo recommends that it is checked by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Part of the WHIPS system’s protective capacity may have been lost even if the seats appear to be undamaged.

Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the sys- tem checked even after a minor rear-end collision.

A The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a col- lision 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 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 SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner sys- tems are deployed only once during a colli- sion.

WARNING

The airbag control module is located in the centre console. If the centre console is drenched with water or other liquid, discon- nect 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.

01 Safety

Safety mode 01

30

Driving after a collision

If the car is involved in a collision, the text Safety mode See manual may appear on the information display. This means that the car has reduced functionality. Safety mode is a protective state that is enforced when the col- lision may have damaged any of the car’s vital functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety systems, or the brake system.

Attempting to start the car

First, check that no fuel is leaking from the car. There must be no smell of fuel either.

If everything seems normal and you have checked for indications of fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the car.

Remove the remote control key and open the driver’s door. If a message is now shown to the

effect that the ignition is on, press the start button. Then close the door and reinsert the remote control key. The car’s electronics will now try to reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to start the car.

If the message Safety mode See manual is still shown on the display then the car must not be driven or towed, but a vehicle recovery serv- ice used instead. Even if the car appears to be driveable, hidden damage may make the car impossible to control once moving.

Moving the car

If Normal mode is shown after Safety mode

See manual has been reset, the car can be moved carefully out of a dangerous position. Do not move the car further than necessary.

WARNING

Never attempt to repair your car or reset the electronics yourself if the car has been in safety mode. This could result in personal injury or the car not functioning as normal. Volvo recommends that you engage an authorised Volvo workshop to check and restore the car to normal status after Safety mode See manual has been displayed.

WARNING

Never, under any circumstances, attempt to restart the car if it smells of fuel when the Safety mode See manual message is dis- played. Leave the car at once.

WARNING

If the car is in safety mode it must not be towed. It must be transported from its loca- tion. Volvo recommends that it is transpor- ted to an authorised Volvo workshop.

Children should sit comfortably and safely

Volvo recommends that children travel in rear- facing child seats until as late an age as pos- sible, 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, for more information, see page 33.

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of children in cars vary from country to coun- try. Check what does apply.

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 has child safety equipment (child seats, booster cushions & attachment devices) which is designed for your particular car. Using Vol- vo’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.

In order to open a door or the boot lid, a PCC must be no more than approx. 1.5 metres from

the car door handle or boot lid. This means that the person who wishes to lock or unlock a door must have the PCC with him or her. It is not possible to lock or unlock a door if the PCC is on the opposite side of the car.

The red rings in the preceding illustration indi- cate the range covered by the system’s anten- nas.

If all PCCs are removed from the car when the engine is running or key position I or II is active (see page 76) and if all doors are closed, then a warning message is shown in the information display and an audible reminder signal sounds at the same time.

The warning message clears and the audio reminder signal stops when the PCC is brought back to the car after:

a door has been opened and closed

the PCC is inserted into the ignition switch

the READ button has been pressed.

Handling the PCC safely

If a PCC with keyless drive function is left in the car, it is deactivated temporarily when the car is locked. This prevents unauthorised entry.

However, if someone breaks into the car, opens the door and finds the PCC, it can be

reactivated. It is therefore important to handle all PCCs with great care.

IMPORTANT

Never leave a PCC behind in the car.

Interference to PCC function

Electromagnetic fields and screening can inter- fere with the keyless drive system.

NOTE

Do not place/store the PCC near a mobile phone or metal object — no closer than 10-15 cm.

If interference is experienced nonetheless, use the PCC and the key blade as a remote control key, see page 43.

Locking

Cars with the Keyless system have a pressure- sensitive area on the outer handle of the doors and a rubberised button next to the boot lid’s rubber- ised pressure plate.

Lock the doors and the boot lid with one long press on any of the door handles’ pressure- sensitive areas or press the smaller of the boot lid’s two rubberised buttons — the lock indicator in the windscreen confirms that locking has been completed by starting to flash, see page 43.

All doors and the boot lid must be closed before the car can be locked — otherwise the car is not locked.

NOTE

On cars with automatic transmission, the gear selector must be set in the P position otherwise the car cannot be locked or the alarm armed.

Unlocking

Unlocking takes place when a hand grasps a door handle or the boot lid’s rubberised pres- sure plate is actuated — open the door or boot lid as normal.

NOTE

The door handles normally register a hand that takes hold of the handle, but with thick gloves on or after a very quick hand move- ment a second attempt may be required, or with the glove taken off.

Unlocking with the key blade

Hole for key blade — to loosen the cover.

If central locking cannot be activated with the PCC, e.g. if the batteries are discharged, then the left-hand front door can be opened with the PCC’s detachable key blade (see page 46).

To access the lock cylinder, the door handle’s plastic cover must be removed — this is also done with the key blade:

1. Press the key blade approx. 1 cm straight up into the hole on the underside of the door handle/cover — do not prize. > The plastic cover loosens automatically

by means of the torque when the blade

02 Locks and alarm

is pushed straight up and into the open- ing.

2. Then insert the key blade in the lock cylin- der and unlock the door.

3. Refit the plastic cover after unlocking.

NOTE

When the driver’s door is unlocked using the key blade and is opened, the alarm is trig- gered. It is switched off by inserting the PCC in the ignition switch, see page 63.

PCC memory function

If several people each with a PCC approach the car, then the settings for seat and mirrors are implemented for the person who opens the driver’s door.

After the driver’s door has been opened by person A with PCC-A, but person B with PCC- B shall drive, the settings can be changed in three ways:

Standing by the driver’s door, or sitting behind the steering wheel, person B

presses their PCC’s unlock button, see page 43.

Select one of three possible memories for seat adjustment with seat button 1-3, see page 79.

Adjust seat and mirrors manually, see page 79 and 96.

From the outside

The remote control key can lock/unlock all doors and the boot lid simultaneously. Differ- ent sequences for unlocking can be selected, see «Unlocking with the remote control key» page 44.

In order that the lock sequence can be acti- vated, the driver’s door must be closed — if any of the other doors or the boot lid is open, then it/they is/are locked and the alarm is activated only when it/they are closed. With the Key- less* system all the doors and boot lid must be closed.

NOTE

Be aware of the risk of locking the remote control key in the car.

If it is not possible to lock/unlock with the remote control key, the battery may be dis- charged — lock or unlock the left-hand front door with the detachable key blade, see page 46.

NOTE

Remember that the alarm is triggered when the door is opened after being unlocked with the key blade — the alarm is switched off when the remote control key is inserted into the ignition switch.

WARNING

Be aware of the risk of being locked in the car when it is locked from the outside using the remote control key — it is then not pos- sible to open any of the doors from the inside with the door controls. Read more about this in the section «Deadlocks» later on.

Automatic relocking

If none of the doors or the boot lid is opened within 2 minutes of unlocking, all are locked again automatically. This function reduces the risk that the car is left unlocked unintentionally. (For cars with alarm, see page 62.)

Manual locking

In certain situations the car must be lockable manually, e.g. in the event of power failure.

The left-hand front door can be locked with its lock cylinder and the remote control key’s detachable key blade, see page 52.

Other doors do not have lock cylinders and instead have lock knobs on each door’s end face which must be re-turned — then they are mechanically locked/blocked against opening from the outside. The doors can still be opened from the inside.

Manual locking of the door. Not to be mixed up with child safety locks, see page 61.

Use the remote control key’s detachable key blade to turn the knob, see page 46.

Unlocking with the remote control key

The alarm for the boot lid can be disarmed* and the boot lid unlocked and opened on its own by using the remote control key’s button.

The lock indicator on the instrument panel stops flashing which indicates that not all of the car is locked and the alarm’s* level and move- ment sensors and the sensors for opening the boot lid are disconnected.

The doors remain locked and armed.

The boot lid can be opened in two

different ways

One press — The boot lid is unlocked, but remains closed — press lightly on the rubberised pressure plate under the outer handle and lift the boot lid.

If the tailgate is not opened within 2 minutes then it is relocked and the alarm is re-armed.

Two presses — The boot lid is unlocked and the lock is disengaged at which the boot lid opens about a centimetre — lift the outer handle to open. Rain, cold, frost or snow could however prevent the tailgate from disengaging from the lock.

NOTE

When the boot lid/tailgate is unlocked with 2 presses, automatic relocking does not take place because the boot lid/tailgate is open — it must be closed manually.

After the boot lid/tailgate has been closed it is unlocked and the alarm is not armed — relock it and re-arm the alarm with the remote control key’s lock button .

Unlocking with the key blade

General

Activated alarm is triggered if:

a door, the bonnet or the boot lid 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, the infor- mation display 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 regis- tered. 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 porta- ble electric heater) shall be used — direct the airflow from the air vents so that they are not pointing upwards in the passenger com- partment.

NOTE

Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm system components. All such attempts could affect the terms of insurance.

If the alarm cannot be deactivated with the remote control key, e.g. if the key’s battery is discharged — the car can be unlocked, dis- armed and the engine started as follows:

1. Open the driver’s door with the detachable key blade — see page 52. > The alarm is triggered, the alarm indica-

tor flashes rapidly and the siren sounds.

2. Insert the remote control key in the ignition switch. > The alarm is deactivated and the alarm

indicator goes out.

3. Start the engine.

Alarm signals

When the alarm is triggered, the following hap- pens:

A siren sounds for 30 seconds or until the alarm is switched off. The siren has its own battery and works independently of the car battery.

The direction indicators flash for 5 minutes or until the alarm is switched off.

Reduced alarm level

To avoid accidental triggering of the alarm — e.g. if a dog is left in a locked car or during transport on a car train or car ferry — the move- ment and tilt detectors should be temporarily deactivated.

The procedure is the same as with the tempo- rary disengaging of deadlocks, see page 59.

ABL fault

The symbol illuminates if a fault has arisen in the ABL function (Active Bending Lights).

Emissions system

If the symbol illuminates then it may be due to a fault in the car’s emissions system. Drive to a workshop for checking. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.

ABS fault

If this symbol illuminates then the system is not working. The car’s regular brake system con- tinues to work, but without the ABS function.

1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off the engine.

2. Restart the engine.

3. If the symbol remains illuminated, drive to a workshop to have the ABS system

checked. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.

Rear fog lamp on

This symbol illuminates when the rear fog lamp is on. There is only one fog lamp. It is located on the driver’s side.

Stability system

A flashing symbol indicates that the stability system is operating. If the symbol illuminates with constant glow then there is a fault in the system.

Stability system, Sport mode

Sport mode allows for a more active driving experience. The system then detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel move- ments and cornering are more active than in normal driving and then allows controlled skid- ding of the rear section up to a certain level before it intervenes and stabilises the car.

Engine preheater (diesel)

This symbol illuminates during engine preheat- ing. Preheating occurs when the temperature is below 2 C. The car can be started once the symbol goes out.

Low level in fuel tank

When the symbol illuminates the level in the fuel tank is low, refuel as soon as possible.

Information, read display text

When one of the car’s systems does not behave as intended, this information symbol illuminates and a text appears on the informa- tion display. The message text is cleared with the READ button, see page 136, or it disap- pears automatically after a time (time depend- ing on which function is indicated). The infor- mation symbol can also illuminate in conjunc- tion with other symbols.

NOTE

When a service message is shown, the sym- bol and message are cleared using the READ button, or clear automatically after a while.

Warning

A For certain engine variants, the symbol for low oil pressure is not used. Warnings are made via display text, see pages 305 and 307.

Low oil pressure

If this symbol illuminates during driving then the engine’s oil pressure is too low. Stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level, top up if necessary. If the symbol illumi- nates and the oil level is normal, contact a workshop. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo work- shop.

Parking brake applied

This symbol illuminates with a constant glow when the parking brake is applied. The symbol flashes during application, and then changes over to a constant glow.

A flashing symbol means that a fault has arisen. Read the message on the information display.

Airbags SRS

If this symbol remains illuminated or illuminates while driving, it means a fault has been detected in the seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS, or IC systems. Drive immediately to a workshop to have the system checked. Volvo recom- mends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.

Seatbelt reminder

This symbol illuminates if someone in a front seat has not put on their seatbelt or if someone in a rear seat has taken off their seatbelt.

Alternator not charging

This symbol illuminates during driving if a fault has occurred in the electrical system. Visit a workshop. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo work- shop.

Fault in brake system

If this symbol illuminates, the brake fluid level may be too low. Stop the car in a safe place

and check the level in the brake fluid reservoir, see page 309.

If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at the same time, there may be a fault in the brake force distribution system.

1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off the engine.

2. Restart the engine.

If both symbols extinguish, continue driving.

If the symbols remain illuminated, check the level in the brake fluid reservoir, see page 309. If the brake fluid level is nor- mal but the symbols are still illuminated, the car can be driven, with great care, to a workshop to have the brake system checked. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further before topping up the brake fluid.

The loss of brake fluid must be investigated by a workshop. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

Alcoguard*

03

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

General information on the alcolock

The function of the Alcolock is to prevent the car from being driven by individuals under the influence of alcohol. Before the engine can be started the driver must take a breath test that verifies that he/she is not under the influence of alcohol. Alcolock calibration takes place in accordance with each market’s limit value in force for driving legally.

WARNING

The Alcolock is an aid and does not exempt the driver from responsibility. It is always the responsibility of the driver to be sober and to drive the car safely.

Functions

1. Nozzle for breath test. 2. Switch. 3. Transmission button. 4. Lamp for battery status. 5. Lamp for result of breath test. 6. Lamp indicates ready for breath test.

Operation

Battery

Alcolock indicator lamp (4) shows battery sta- tus:

Yellow Semi-charged

Red Discharged — fit the charger in the holder or connect the power supply cable from the glovebox.

NOTE

Store the Alcolock in its holder. This will keep the built-in battery fully charged and the Alcolock is activated automatically when the car is opened.

Before starting the engine

The Alcolock is activated automatically and is then ready for use when the car is opened.

1. When the indicator lamp (6) is green the Alcolock is ready for use.

2. Withdraw the Alcolock from its holder. If the Alcolock is outside the car when it is unlocked then it must first be activated with the switch (2).

3. Fold up the nozzle (1), take a deep breath and blow with an even pressure until a «click» is heard after approx. 5 seconds. The result will be one of the alternatives in the following table Result after breath

test. 4. If no message is shown then the transmis-

sion to the car may have failed — in which case, press the button (3) to transmit the result to the car manually.

5. Fold down the nozzle and refit the Alcolock in its holder.

6. Start the engine following an approved breath test within 5 minutes — otherwise it must be repeated.

A Limits vary between countries, so find out what limits apply. See also the section entitled General information on the Alcolock on page 102

NOTE

After a completed period of driving, the engine can be restarted within 30 minutes without a new breath test.

To bear in mind

Before the breath test

In order to obtain correct function and as accu- rate a measurement result as possible:

Avoid eating or drinking approx. 5 minutes before the breath test.

Avoid excess windscreen washing — the alcohol in the washer fluid may result in an incorrect measurement result.

Change of driver

In order to ensure that a new breath test is car- ried out in the event of a change of driver — depress the switch (2) and the send button (3) simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds. At which point the car returns to start inhibition mode and a new approved breath test is required before starting the engine.

Calibration and service

The Alcolock must be checked and calibrated at a workshop1 every 12 months.

30 days before recalibration is necessary the display shows Alcoguard Calibr. required. If calibration is not carried out within these 30 days then normal engine starting will be blocked — only starting with the Bypass func-

tion will then be possible, see page 104 sec- tion Emergency situation.

The message can be cleared by pressing the send button (3) once. Otherwise it goes out on its own after approx. 2 minutes but then reap- pears each time the engine is started — only recalibration at a workshop1 can clear the mes- sage permanently.

Cold or hot weather

The colder the weather the longer it takes before the Alcolock is ready for use:

Temperature (C) Maximum heat- ing time (sec-

onds)

+10 — +85 10

-5 — +10 60

-40 — -5 180

At temperatures below -20 C or above +60 C the Alcolock requires additional power supply. The display shows Alcoguard insert

power cable. In which case, connect the power supply cable from the glovebox and wait until indicator lamp (6) is green.

1 An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

03 Your driving environment

Alcoguard*

In extremely cold weather the heating time can be reduced by taking the Alcolock indoors.

Emergency situation

In the event of an emergency situation, or if the Alcolock is out of order or has been removed, it is possible to bypass the Alcolock in order to drive the car.

NOTE

All Bypass activation is logged and saved in memory, see page 8 in the section, Record- ing data.

After the Bypass function has been activated the display shows Alcoguard Bypass

enabled the whole time while driving and can only be reset by a workshop1.

The Bypass function can be tested without the error message being logged — in which case, carry out all the steps without starting the car. The error message is cleared when the car is locked.

When the Alcolock is installed, either the Bypass or Emergency function is selected as the bypassing option. This setting can be changed afterwards at a workshop1.

Activating the Bypass function

Depress and hold the left-hand stalk switch READ button and the button for hazard warning flashers simultaneously for approx. 5 seconds — the display first shows Bypass activated Wait 1 minute and then Alcoguard Bypass enabled — after which the engine can be started.

This function can be activated several times. The error message shown during driving can only be cleared at a workshop1.

Activating the Emergency function

Depress and hold the left-hand stalk switch READ button and the button for hazard warning flashers simultaneously for approx. 5 seconds — the display shows Alcoguard Bypass enabled and the engine can be started.

This function can be used once, after which a reset must be made at a workshop1.

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 par- ticular if there are children in the car. For information on how this works — see page 77.

NOTE

The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types during cold starting. This is so that the emissions system can reach normal operating tem- perature as quickly as possible, which min- imises exhaust emissions and protects the environment.

Keyless drive*

Follow steps 23 for starting petrol and diesel engines. For more information on Keyless drive — see page 51.

NOTE

A prerequisite for the car to start is that one of the car’s remote control keys with the Keyless drive* function is in the passenger compartment or cargo area.

Starting the engine Flexifuel

03

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

General information about starting with Flexifuel

The engine is started in the same way as in a petrol-engined car.

In the event of starting difficulties

If the engine does not start at the first start attempt:

Make further attempts to start with the START/STOP ENGINE button.

If the engine still does not start

The outside temperature is lower than +5 C:

1. Connect the engine block heater for at least 1 hour.

2. Make further attempts to start with the START/STOP ENGINE button.

IMPORTANT

If the engine does not start despite repeated start attempts, you are recommended to contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

Engine block heater*

Electrical input to the engine block heater.

When the temperature is expected to be lower than 10 C and the car has been refuelled with bioethanol E85, an engine block heater should be used for about 2 hours to facilitate the quick starting of the engine.

The lower the temperature, the longer the time required with the engine block heater. At -20 C the heater should be used for approx. 3 hours.

Cars intended for E85 have an electric engine block heater*. Starting and driving with a pre- heated engine involves significantly lower emissions and reduced fuel consumption. For this reason you should aim to use the engine block heater throughout the winter months.

WARNING

The engine block heater is powered by high voltage. Fault tracing and repair of an elec- tric engine block heater and its electrical connections must only be carried out by a workshop — an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

NOTE

Points to remember for carrying reserve fuel:

In the event of stalling due to an empty fuel tank, bioethanol E85 from a reserve fuel can may make the engine difficult to start in extreme cold. This is avoided by filling the reserve fuel can with 95 octane petrol.

For more information on Flexifuel’s bioethanol E 85 fuel, see page 269 and 355.

03 Your driving environment

Starting the engine Flexifuel

03

109

Fuel adaptation

Flexifuel engines can be driven on both 95 octane unleaded petrol and bioethanol E85. Both fuels are filled in the common fuel tank so that any variations of mixing ratios between these two fuels is possible.

If the fuel tank is filled with petrol after the car has been driven on bioethanol E85 (or vice versa) then the engine may run slightly unevenly for a time. For this reason it is impor- tant to allow the engine to accustom itself (adapt) to the new fuel mixture.

Adaptation takes place automatically when the car is driven for a short period at an even speed.

IMPORTANT

After the fuel mixture in the tank has been changed an adaptation should be made by driving at an even speed for about 15 minutes.

If the battery has been discharged or discon- nected then a slightly longer period of driving is required for the adaptation as the memory for the electronics has been cleared.

03 Your driving environment

Starting the engine external battery

Jump starting

If the battery is flat then the car can be started with current from another battery.

When jump starting the car, the following steps are recommended to avoid short circuits or other damage:

1. Insert the remote control key in key posi- tion 0, see page 76.

2. Check that the donor battery has a voltage of 12 V.

3. If the donor battery is installed in another car — switch off the donor car’s engine and make sure that the two cars do not touch each other.

4. Connect one of the red jump lead’s clamps to the donor battery’s positive terminal (1).

IMPORTANT

Connect the start cable carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in the engine compartment.

5. Open the clips on the front cover of the battery in your car and remove the cover, see page 320.

6. Connect the red jump lead’s other clamp onto the car’s positive terminal (2).

7. Connect one of the black jump lead’s clamps to the donor battery’s negative ter- minal (3).

8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting at the top, the outer screw head (4).

9. Check that the jump lead clamps are affixed securely so that there are no sparks during the starting procedure.

10. Start the engine of the «donor car» and allow it to run a few minutes at a speed slightly higher than idle approx. 1500 rpm.

11. Start the engine in the car with the dis- charged battery.

IMPORTANT

Do not touch the crocodile clips during the start procedure. There is a risk of sparks forming.

12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order — first the black and then the red. > Make sure that none of the black jump

lead’s clamps comes into contact with the battery’s positive terminal or the clamp connected to the red jump lead!

WARNING

The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A spark can be formed if a jump lead is con- nected incorrectly, and this can be enough for the battery to explode.

The battery contains sulphuric acid, which can cause serious burns.

If sulphuric acid comes into contact with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large quantities of water. If acid splashes into the eyes — seek medical attention immediately.

For more information on the car’s battery — see page 319.

The 6-speed box is available in two versions — reverse gear position differs between them.

Look at the actual gearshift pattern imprinted on the gear lever.

Depress the clutch pedal fully during each gear change.

Take your foot off the clutch pedal between gear changes.

WARNING

Get into the habit of always applying the parking brake when parking on a slope — an engaged gear is not sufficient to hold the car in all situations.

Reverse gear inhibitor

The reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possibil- ity of mistakenly attempting to engage reverse gear during normal forward travel.

Start from neutral position N and only engage reverse gear R when the car is sta- tionary.

NOTE

With the upper variant of the shifting pattern for 6-speed gearbox (see previous illustra- tion) — first press down the gear lever in the N position in order to engage reverse gear.

Automatic gearbox Geartronic*

D: Automatic gear positions. M (+/): Manual gear positions.

Gear positions

Parking position (P)

Select P when starting the engine or when the car is parked. The brake pedal must be depressed to disengage the gear selector from the P position.

The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P position is engaged. Apply the parking brake as well, as a precaution — see page 127.

03 Your driving environment

112

IMPORTANT

The car must be stationary when position P is selected.

WARNING

Get into the habit of always applying the parking brake when parking on a slope — the automatic transmission’s P position is not sufficient to hold the car in all situations.

Reverse (R)

The car must be stationary when position R is selected.

Neutral position (N)

No gear is engaged and the engine can be started. Apply the parking brake if the car is stationary with the gear selector in position N.

Drive (D)

D is the normal driving position. Shifting up and down takes place automatically based on the level of acceleration and speed. The car must be stationary when the gear selector is moved to position D from position R.

Geartronic Manual gear positions (+/-)

The driver can also change gear manually using the Geartronic automatic gearbox. The

car engine-brakes when the accelerator pedal is released.

Manual gearshift mode is obtained by moving the lever to the side from position D to the end position at +/. The information display shifts the indication from D to one of the figures 1 6, which is equivalent to the gear that is engaged just then, see page 69.

Move the lever forwards towards + (plus) to change up a gear and release the lever, which returns to its rest position between + and .

or

Pull the lever back towards (minus) to change down a gear and release it.

The manual gearshift mode (+/) can be selected at any time while driving.

Geartronic automatically shifts down if the driver allows the speed to decrease lower than a level suitable for the selected gear, in order to avoid jerking and stalling.

To return to automatic driving mode:

Move the lever to the side to the end posi- tion at D.

NOTE

f the gearbox has a Sport programme then the gearbox will only become manual after the lever has been moved forwards or back- wards in its (-+/) position. The information display then shifts the indication from S to show which of the gears 1—6 is engaged.

Geartronic — Sport mode (S)1

The Sport programme provides sportier cha- racteristics and allows higher engine speed for the gears. At the same time it responds more quickly to acceleration. During active driving, the use of a lower gear is prioritised, leading to a delayed upshift.

Sport mode is obtained by moving the lever to the side from D position to the end position at +/. The information display shifts the indica- tion from D to S.

Sport mode can be selected at any time while driving.

Geartronic — Winter mode

It can be easier to pull away on slippery roads if 3rd gear is engaged manually.

1. Depress the brake pedal and move the gear lever from the D position to the end position at +/ — the instrument panel dis-

play shifts the indication from D to the fig- ure 1.

2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the lever forward towards + (plus) twice — the display shifts the indication from 1 to 3.

3. Release the brake and accelerate carefully.

The gearbox «winter mode» means that the car moves off with a lower engine speed and reduced engine power on the drive wheels.

Kick-down

When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the way to the floor (beyond the position normally regarded as full acceleration) a lower gear is immediately engaged. This is known as kick- down.

If the accelerator is released from the kick- down position, the gearbox automatically changes up.

Kick-down is used when maximum accelera- tion is needed, such as for overtaking.

Safety function

To prevent overrevving the engine, the gearbox control program has a protective downshift inhibitor which prevents the kick-down func- tion.

Geartronic does not permit downshifting/kick- down which would result in an engine speed high enough to damage the engine. Nothing

happens if the driver still tries to shift down in this way at high engine speed the original gear remains engaged.

When kick-down is activated the car can change one or more gears at a time depending on engine speed. The car changes up when the engine reaches its maximum speed in order to prevent damage to the engine.

Mechanical gear selector inhibitor

G 02

13 51

The gear selector can be moved forward and back freely between N and D. Other positions are locked with a latch that is released with the inhibitor button on the gear selector.

With the inhibitor button depressed the lever can be moved forwards or backwards between P, R, N and D.

Automatic gearbox Powershift*

D: Automatic gear positions. M (+/): Manual gear positions.

Powershift is a six-stage automatic gearbox that has double mechanical clutch discs in contrast to a conventional automatic gearbox. A conventional automatic gearbox has a hydraulic torque converter instead that trans- fers power from engine to gearbox.

Powershift transmission operates in the same way and has similar controls and functions as the Geartronic automatic transmission, descri- bed in the previous section.

Powershift or Geartronic?

In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not the car is equipped with Powershift transmis- sion, this can be verified by checking the des- ignation on the decal number (5) under the

bonnet — see page 344. The designa- tion MPS6 means that it is Powershift trans- mission — otherwise it is Geartronic automatic transmission.

HSA

The HSA (Hill Start Assist) function means that the pressure in the brake system remains for several seconds while the foot is moved from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal before setting off or reversing uphill.

The temporary braking effect releases after several seconds or when the driver acceler- ates.

To bear in mind

The transmission’s double clutch has overload protection that is activated if it becomes too hot, e.g. if the car is held stationary with the accelerator pedal on an uphill gradient for a long time.

Overheated transmission causes the car to shake and vibrate, and the warning symbol illu- minates and the information display shows a message. The transmission can also overheat during slow driving in queues (10 km/h or slower) on an uphill gradient, or with a trailer hitched. The transmission cools down when the car is stationary, with foot brake depressed and the engine running at idling speed.

03 Your driving environment

Gearboxes

03

115

Overheating during slow driving in queues can be avoided by driving in stages: Stop the car and wait with your foot on the brake pedal until there is a moderate distance to the traffic ahead, drive forward a short distance, and then wait another moment with your foot on the brake pedal.

IMPORTANT

Use the foot brake to hold the car stationary on an uphill gradient — do not hold the car with the accelerator pedal. The gearbox could then overheat.

For important information regarding Powershift transmission and towing — see page 281.

Text message and action

In some situations the display may show a message at the same time as a symbol is illu- minated.

Quieter and cleaner

Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo- ration’s core values and it influences all of our operations. This target-orientation has resulted in the DRIVe vehicle series whose concept consists of an interaction between several sep- arate energy-saving functions, all with the common purpose of reducing fuel consump- tion, which in turn contributes to reduced exhaust emissions.

General information on Start/Stop

The engine is switched off — it becomes quieter and cleaner….

Some combinations of engine and gearbox are equipped with a Start and Stop function which engages in the event of e.g. stationary traffic or waiting at traffic lights — the engine is then switched off temporarily and restarts automat- ically when the journey is due to continue.

The Start/Stop function gives the driver the opportunity for a more active environmentally conscious way of driving the car by means of being able to allow the engine to stop auto- matically, whenever appropriate.

Manual or Automatic

Note that there are differences in the Start/Stop function depending on whether the gearbox is manual or automatic.

Function and operation

Start/Stop On/Off.

Illuminates briefly on activation and for text messages.

The engine is auto-stopped.

Start/StopThe function is activated automatically when the engine is

started with the key. The driver is alerted to the function by means of this symbol on the instru- ment panel illuminating briefly, the display text Auto Start-Stop ON is shown and the green lamp for the On/Off button illuminates.

03 Your driving environment

Eco Start/Stop DRIVe*

03

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

NOTE

After starting with the key and each auto- stop the car must first reach 5 km/h before the automatic Start/Stop function is re-acti- vated — following which certain conditions must also be fulfilled, refer to these under the heading «The engine does not auto- stop».

All of the car’s normal systems such as lighting, radio, etc. work as normal even with an engine that has stopped automatically, except that some equipment may have the function tem- porarily reduced, e.g. the climate control sys- tem’s fan speed or extremely high volume on the audio system.

Auto-stopping the engine

In order that the engine should stop automati- cally the car must be completely stationary:

Conditions M/AA

Declutch, set the gear lever in neutral position and release the clutch pedal — the engine is switched off.

M

Stop the car with the foot brake and then keep your foot on the pedal — the engine stops automat- ically.

A

A M = Only manual gearbox, A = Only automatic gearbox and model D3.

The AUTO START symbol on the information display illumi- nates as verification and reminder that the engine is has stopped automatically.

Auto-starting the engine

Conditions M/AA

With the gear lever in neutral posi- tion: Depress the clutch pedal — the engine starts. Engage a suit- able gear and continue the jour- ney.

M

With the gear lever in neutral posi- tion: Depress the accelerator pedal — the engine starts. Engage a suitable gear and continue the journey.

M

The following option is also avail- able on a downhill gradient: Release the foot brake and let the car move off — the engine starts automatically when the speed exceeds normal walking pace.

M

Release the foot pressure on the foot brake — the engine starts automatically and the journey can continue.

Start assistance HSA

The foot brake can also be released on an uphill gradient to start the engine automatically — the HSA function means that the car does not roll backwards.

HSA (Hill Start Assist) means that the pressure in the brake system remains temporarily avail- able while the driver moves his/her foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal for driving off with the engine having stopped automatically. The temporary braking effect releases after a couple of seconds or when the driver accelerates.

There is more information available on HSA on page 114.

Gear indicator1

An essential detail in connection with environ- mental driving is to drive in the right gear and change gear in time.

The driver is assisted by an indicator which notifies the driver when it is most advanta- geous to engage the next higher or lower gear — GSI (Gear Shift Indicator).

Indication is made with an up or down arrow in the combined instrument panel’s right-hand display.

Deactivating the Start/Stop function

In certain situations, it may advisable to temporarily switch off the automatic Start/Stop function — this is carried out by pressing this button once, at which point the button’s lamp goes out.

Disengaged Start/Stop func- tion is indicated by the infor- mation display’s symbol going out and the message Auto Start-Stop OFF being displayed for about 5 seconds — while the button’s lamp goes out at the same time.

The Start/Stop function is disengaged until it is reactivated with the button or until the next time the engine is started with the key.

Limitations

03

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

All Wheel Drive is always available

All Wheel Drive means that the car is driving all four wheels at the same time.

The power is automatically distributed between the front and rear wheels. An elec- tronically controlled clutch system distributes the power to the wheels that have the best grip on the current road surface. This provides the best traction and prevents wheel spin. Under normal driving conditions, the majority of power is transmitted to the front wheels.

All Wheel Drive improves driving safety in rain, snow and icy conditions.

03 Your driving environment

Foot brake

03

125

General

The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If one brake circuit is damaged then this will mean that the brakes engage at a deeper level and harder pressure on the pedal is needed to produce the normal braking effect.

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

WARNING

The brake servo only works when the engine is running.

If the brake is used when the engine is switched off then the pedal will feel stiff and more force must be used to brake the car.

In very hilly terrain or when driving with a heavy load the brakes can be relieved by using engine braking. Engine braking is most efficiently used if the same gear is used downhill as up.

For more general information on heavy loads on the car, see page 351.

Anti-lock braking system

The car is equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) which prevents the wheels from locking during braking. This means the ability to steer is maintained and it is easier to swerve to avoid a hazard for example. Vibration

may be felt in the brake pedal when this is engaged and this is normal.

A short test of the ABS system is made auto- matically after the engine has been started when the driver releases the brake pedal. A further automatic test of the ABS system may be made when the car reaches 10 km/h. The test may be experienced as pulses in the brake pedal.

Emergency brake lights and automatic

hazard warning flashers

Emergency brake lights are activated to alert vehicles behind about sudden braking. The function means that the brake light flashes instead of — as in normal braking — shining with a constant glow.

Emergency brake lights are activated at speeds above 50 km/h if the ABS system is working and/or in the event of sudden braking. After the car’s speed has been slowed below 10 km/h the brake light returns from flashing to the normal constant glow — while at the same time the hazard warning flashers are activated, and they flash until the driver changes engine speed with the accelerator pedal or they are deactivated with their button, see page 86.

Cleaning the brake discs

Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs may result in delayed brake function. This delay is minimised by cleaning the brake linings.

Manual cleaning is advisable with wet road sur- faces, prior to long-stay parking and after the car has been washed. Carry this out by braking gently during a short period while en route.

Emergency Brake Assistance

Emergency Brake Assistance EBA (Emergency Brake Assist) helps to increase brake force and so reduce braking distance. EBA detects the driver’s braking style and increases brake force as necessary. The brake force can be rein- forced up to the level when the ABS system is engaged. The EBA function is interrupted when the pressure on the brake pedal is reduced.

NOTE

When EBA is activated the brake pedal low- ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold) the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the brake pedal is released then all braking ceases.

Parking brake

03

127

General

Function

A faint electric motor noise can be heard when the electrical parking brake is being applied. The noise can also be heard during the auto- matic function checking of the parking brake.

If the car is stationary when the parking brake is applied then it only acts on the rear wheels. If it is applied when the car is moving then the normal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake acts on all four wheels. Brake function changes over to the rear wheels when the car is almost sta- tionary.

Low battery voltage

If the battery voltage is too low then the parking brake can neither be released nor applied. Connect a donor battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 110.

Applying the parking brake

Parking brake control — apply.

1. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly.

2. Press the control. > The combined instrument panel symbol

starts flashing — once there is a constant glow it is applied.

3. Release the foot brake pedal and make sure that the car is at a standstill position.

When parking the vehicle, always engage 1st gear (for manual gearbox) or put the gear selector in position P (for automatic gearbox).

In an emergency the parking brake can be applied when the vehicle is moving by depress- ing the control. When the control is released or

the accelerator pedal is depressed the braking is interrupted.

NOTE

In the event of emergency braking at speeds above 10 km/h a signal sounds during the braking procedure.

Parking on a hill

If the car is parked facing uphill:

Turn the wheels away from the kerb.

If the car is parked facing downhill:

Turn the wheels towards the kerb.

WARNING

Get into the habit of always applying the parking brake when parking on a slope — leaving the car in gear, or in P if it has auto- matic transmission, is not sufficient to hold the car in all situation.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 131

General

HomeLink is a programmable remote control which can control up to three different devices (e.g. garage door, alarm system, outdoor light- ing and indoor lighting etc.) and in doing so replace their remote controls. HomeLink is supplied built into the left-hand sun visor.

The HomeLink panel consists of three pro- grammable buttons and one indicator lamp.

NOTE

HomeLink is designed not to work if the car is locked from the outside.

Save the original remote controls for future programming (e.g. when switching to another car).

Delete the button programming when the car is to be sold.

Metallic sun visors should not be used in cars fitted with HomeLink . This may have an adverse effect on its function.

Operation

When HomeLink is fully programmed it can be used in place of the separate original remote controls.

Depress the programmed button to activate the garage door, alarm system etc. The indi- cator lamp illuminates for the time that the but- ton is kept depressed.

NOTE

If the ignition is not activated, HomeLink will work for 30 minutes after the driver’s door has been opened.

The original remote controls can of course be used in parallel with HomeLink .

WARNING

If HomeLink is used to operate a garage door or gate, ensure that nobody is in the vicinity of the door or gate while it is in motion.

Do not use the HomeLink remote control for any garage door that does not have safety stop and safety reverse. The garage door must react immediately when it detects that something is preventing its movement, and stop directly and reverse. A garage door without these characteristics could cause personal injury. For further information — contact the supplier via the Internet: www.homelink.com.

Programming for the first time

The first step erases the memory in HomeLink and must not be carried out when only one individual button is being reprogram- med.

1. Depress the two outer buttons and do not release until the indicator lamp starts to flash after approx. 20 seconds. The flash- ing indicates that HomeLink is set in «learn mode» and is ready to be pro- grammed.

2. Position the original remote control 5-30 cm from HomeLink . Monitor the indi- cator lamp.

03 Your driving environment

HomeLink *

03

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

The particular distance that is required between the original remote control and HomeLink depends on the programming of the device in question. Perhaps several attempts will be required at different dis- tances. Maintain each position for approx. 15 seconds before trying a new one.

3. Depress the button for the original remote control and the button to be programmed on HomeLink simultaneously. Do not release the buttons until the indicator lamp has changed over from slow to rapid flash- ing. The rapid flashing indicates successful programming.

4. Test the programming by depressing the programmed button on HomeLink and watching the indicator lamp:

Constant glow: The indicator lamp illu- minates with a constant glow when the button is kept depressed, this indicates that the programming is complete. The garage door, gate or similar should now be activated when the programmed HomeLink button is depressed.

Glow not constant: The indicator lamp flashes quickly for approx. 2 seconds and then changes over to a constant glow for approx. 3 seconds. This proc-

ess is repeated for approx. 20 seconds and indicates that the device has a «roll- ing code». The garage door, gate or sim- ilar is not activated when the pro- grammed HomeLink button is depressed. Continue the programming in accordance with the following.

5. Locate the «programming button1» on the receiver for the garage door for example, normally located close to the antenna’s bracket on the receiver. If you have diffi- culty in finding the button — consult the supplier’s manual, or contact the supplier via the Internet: www.homelink.com.

6. Depress and release the «programming button». The button flashes for approx. 30 seconds and the next step must be carried out within this period.

7. Depress the programmed button on HomeLink , while the «programming but- ton» is still flashing, keep it depressed for approx. 3 seconds and then release. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence up to 3 times to conclude the program- ming.

Programming individual buttons

To reprogram an individual button, proceed in accordance with the following:

1. Depress the required button on HomeLink and do not release until step 3 has been completed.

2. When the indicator lamp on HomeLink starts to flash, after approx. 20 seconds, position the original remote control 5-30 cm from HomeLink . Monitor the indi- cator lamp.

The particular distance that is required between the original remote control and HomeLink depends on the programming of the device in question. Perhaps several attempts will be required at different dis- tances. Maintain each position for approx. 15 seconds before trying a new one.

3. Depress the button on the original remote control. The indicator lamp will start to flash. When the flashing has changed over from a slow to a rapid flashing — release both buttons. The rapid flashing indicates successful programming.

Climate control

04

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

General

Climate control

The car is equipped with electronic climate control. The climate control system cools or heats as well as dehumidifies the air in the pas- senger compartment.

NOTE

The air conditioning system (AC) can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible climate comfort in the passenger compart- ment and to prevent the windows from mist- ing, it should always be on.

Actual temperature

The temperature you select corresponds to the physical experience with reference to factors such as air speed, humidity and solar radiation etc. in and around the car.

The system includes a sun sensor1 which detects on which side the sun is shining into the passenger compartment. This means that the temperature can differ between the right and left-hand air vents despite the controls being set for the same temperature on both sides.

Sensor location

The sun sensor1 is located on the top side of the dashboard.

The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climate control panel.

The outside temperature sensor is located on the door mirror.

The humidity sensor* is located by the inte- rior rearview mirror.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.

Side windows and sunroof*

To ensure that the air conditioning works opti- mally, the side windows, and sunroof* if speci- fied, should be closed.

Misting windows

Remove misting on the insides of the windows by primarily using the defroster function.

To reduce the risk of misting, keep the win- dows clean and use window cleaner.

Vents in the parcel shelf

NOTE

To avoid misting, do not block the vents fur- thest back on the parcel shelf with clothing or other objects.

Temporary shut-off of the air

conditioning

When the engine requires full power, e.g. for full acceleration or driving uphill with a trailer, the air conditioning can be temporarily switched off. There may then be a temporary increase in temperature in the passenger compartment.

Condensation

In warm weather, condensation from the air conditioning may drip under the car. This is normal.

Ice and snow

Remove ice and snow from the climate control system air intake (the grille between the bonnet and the windscreen).

Fault tracing and repair

Engage a workshop that has authorisation for the fault tracing and repair of the climate con- trol system. Volvo recommends that you con- tact an authorised Volvo workshop.

1 Only applies to ECC.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Climate control

04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 147

Refrigerant

The air conditioning system contains a refrig- erant. This refrigerant contains no chlorine, which means that it is harmless to the ozone layer. Engage a workshop that has authorisa- tion for filling/changing refrigerant to carry out the work. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

Total airing function

The function opens/closes all side windows simultaneously and can be used for example to quickly air the car during hot weather, see page 56.

Passenger compartment filter

All air entering the car’s passenger compart- ment is cleaned with a filter. This must be replaced at regular intervals. Follow the Volvo Service Programme for the recommended replacement intervals. If the car is used in a severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to replace the filter more often.

NOTE

There are different types of passenger com- partment filter. Make sure that the correct filter is fitted.

Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP)*

This option keeps the passenger compartment clear of allergy and asthma inducing sub- stances. For more information on CZIP, see the brochure included with the purchase of the car.

The following is included:

An enhanced fan function that means that the fan starts when the car is opened with the remote control key. The fan fills the passenger compartment with fresh air. The function starts when required and is dis- engaged automatically after a time or when one of the passenger compartment doors is opened. The amount of time the fan runs is reduced gradually due to reduced need up until the car is 4 years old.

The air quality system IAQS is a fully auto- matic system that cleans the air in the pas- senger compartment from contaminants such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and ground-level ozone.

NOTE

To keep the CZIP standard in cars with CZIP the IAQS filter must be changed after 15 000 km or once per year depending on whichever occurs first. However, up to 75 000 km over 5 years. In cars without CZIP and where the customer does not want to keep the CZIP standard the IAQS filter must be changed at a regular service.

Use of tested materials in the interior

equipment.

The materials have been developed in order to minimise the quantity of dust in the passenger compartment and they contribute to making the passenger compartment easier to keep clean. The carpets in both the passenger com- partment and the cargo area are removable and easy to remove and clean. Use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo, see page 338.

Menu settings

It is possible to activate/deactivate or change the default settings for four of the climate con- trol system’s functions via the centre console. For general information about menu naviga- tion, see page 139:

Fan speed in automatic mode*, see page 152.

Recirculation timer for passenger com- partment air, see page 153.

AC Air conditioning on/off

When the lamp in the AC but- ton illuminates, the air condi- tioning is controlled by the system’s automatic function. This way, incoming air is cooled and dehumidified.

When the lamp in the AC button is switched off the air conditioning is disconnected. Other functions are still controlled automatically. When the max. defroster function is activated the air conditioning is switched on automati- cally, so that the air is dehumidified at the maxi- mum setting.

Max. defroster

Used to quickly remove mist- ing and ice from the wind- screen and side windows. Air flowing to the windows. The light in the defroster button illuminates when the function is active.

The following also takes place in order to pro- vide maximum dehumidification in the passen- ger compartment:

the air conditioning is automatically engaged

recirculation and the air quality system are automatically disengaged.

NOTE

The noise level increases as the fan is oper- ating at max.

When the defroster is switched off the climate control returns to the previous settings.

Recirculation

Recirculation

When recirculation is engaged the orange lamp in the button illuminates. The function is selected to shut out bad air, exhaust gases etc. from the passenger com- partment. The air in the pas-

senger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air is taken into the car when this func- tion is activated.

IMPORTANT

If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of misting on the insides of the windows.

Timer

With the timer function activated the system will exit manually activated recirculation mode according to a time that depends on the out-

side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice, misting and bad air. Activate/deactivate the function in the menu system MY CAR under Settings Climate settings

Recirculation timer. For a description of the menu system, see page 139.

NOTE

When max. defroster is selected, recircula- tion is always deactivated.

Air quality system IAQS*

The air quality system separates gases and particles to reduce the levels of odours and pollution in the passenger compartment. If the outside air is contaminated then the air intake is closed and the air is recirculated.

General information about the parking

heater

The parking heater heats the engine and pas- senger compartment and can be started directly or with the timer.

Two different times can be selected using the timer. Here, time refers to the time when the car is heated and ready. The car’s electronic sys- tem calculates when heating should be started based on the outside temperature.

The heater cannot start if the outside tempera- ture exceeds 15 C. At 5 C or lower the maximum running time of the parking heater is 50 minutes.

WARNING

The car must be outdoors when the parking heater is used.

NOTE

When the parking heater is active there may be smoke from the right-hand wheel hous- ing, which is perfectly normal.

Refuelling

Warning label on fuel filler flap.

WARNING

Fuel which spills out can be ignited. Switch off the fuel-driven heater before starting to refuel.

Check the information display to see that the parking heater is switched off. When it is running, the information display shows Park heat ON.

Parking on a hill

If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of the car should point downhill to ensure that there is a supply of fuel to the parking heater.

General information about the additional heater

In cold climate zones1 an additional heater may be required to obtain the correct operating temperature in the engine and to obtain suffi- cient heating in the passenger compartment.

Fuel-driven additional heater

A fuel-driven additional heater is fitted in cars with diesel engines.

The heater starts automatically when extra heat is required when the engine is running.

The heater is switched off automatically when the correct temperature is reached or when the engine is switched off.

NOTE

When the additional heater is active there may be smoke from the right-hand wheel housing which is perfectly normal.

Auto mode or shutdown

The additional heater’s automatic start sequence can be switched off if required.

3. Press RESET to select between ON and OFF.

NOTE

The menu options are only visible in key position I — any adjustments must therefore be made before starting the engine.

Passenger compartment heater*

If the additional heater is supplemented with timer function then it can be used as a fuel- driven passenger compartment heater, see page 156.

Electric additional heater

Cars with certain petrol engines2 have an elec- tric additional heater integrated into the car’s climate control system.

In a semi-cold1 climate zone diesel-driven cars have an electric additional heater instead of a fuel-driven version.

The heater cannot be controlled manually but is instead activated automatically after the engine has been started in outside tempera- tures below 14 C and is switched off after the set passenger compartment temperature has been reached.

DSTC Stability and traction control system

04

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

General information on DSTC

The stability and traction control system, DSTC (Dynamic Stability & Traction Control) helps the driver to avoid skidding and improves the car’s traction.

The activation of the system during braking may be noticed as a throbbing sound. The car may accelerate slower than expected when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

Active Yaw Control

The function limits the driving and brake force of the wheels individually in order to stabilise the car.

Spin Control

The function prevents the driving wheels from spinning against the road surface during accel- eration.

Traction control system

The function is active at low speed and trans- fers power from the driving wheel that is spin- ning to the one that is not.

Engine drag control — EDC

EDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun- tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or engine braking when driving in low gears on slippery road surfaces.

Involuntary wheel locking while driving can, amongst other things, impair the driver’s ability to steer the car.

Corner Traction Control CTC

CTC compensates for understeer and allows higher than normal acceleration in a bend with- out wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. on an arcing motorway entrance road to quickly reach the prevailing traffic speed.

Trailer Stability Assist* — TSA

The function serves to stabilise the car and trailer combination if it begins to snake, see page 280.

NOTE

The function is deactivated if the driver selects Sport mode.

Operation

Selection of level — Sport mode

The DSTC system is always activated — it can- not be deactivated.

However, the driver can select the Sport mode, which allows for a more active driving experi- ence. In Sport mode the system detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel movements and cornering are more active than in normal driving and then allows controlled skidding with the rear section up to a certain level before it intervenes and stabilises the car.

If the driver stops a controlled skid by releasing the accelerator pedal then the DSTC system intervenes and stabilises the car.

With Sport mode, maximum traction is obtained if the car has become stuck, or when driving on a loose surface — e.g. sand or deep snow.

Proceed as follows to select Sport mode:

1. Press the centre console button MY CAR

and search in the display screen’s menu system and locate My S60 DSTC. (For information on the menu system, see page 138).

2. Uncheck the box and back out of the menu system with EXIT. > The system then allows a more sporty

driving style.

The Sport mode is active until the driver dese- lects it or until the engine is switched off — after the engine is started the next time the DSTC system is back in its normal mode again.

Adapting driving characteristics

04

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

Active chassis — Four-C*

Active chassis, Four-C (Continously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the characteris- tics of the shock absorbers so that the car’s driving characteristics can be adjusted. There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced.

Comfort

This setting means that the car is perceived as being more comfortable on rough and uneven road surfaces. Shock absorption is soft and the movement of the body is smooth and gentle.

Sport

This setting means that the car is perceived as being more sporty and is recommended for more active driving. Steering response is faster than in the Comfort mode. Shock absorption is harder and the body follows the road in order to reduce rolling during cornering.

Advanced

This setting is only recommended on very even and smooth road surfaces.

The shock absorbers are optimised for maxi- mum roadholding and rolling in bends is further minimised.

Operation

Chassis settings.

Use the buttons in the centre console to change setting. The setting in use when the engine is switched off is activated next time the engine is started.

Speed related power steering*

Steering force increases with the speed of the car to give the driver enhanced sensitivity. The steering is firmer and more immediate on motorways. Steering is light and requires no extra effort when parking and at low speed.

The driver can choose between three different levels of steering force for road responsiveness or steering sensitivity. Go to the menu system MY CAR and locate Settings Car settings

Steering wheel force and select Low, Medium or High.

For a description of the menu system, see page 138. This menu cannot be accessed while the car is in motion.

memory can be made both during a journey and while stationary.

While driving

1. When the car is moving at the desired high- est possible speed: Press the steering wheel button to switch on the speed limiter. > The symbol for the speed limiter is illu-

minated on the instrument panel dis- play.

2. Press one of the steering wheel buttons or until the instrument panel display

shows the desired maximum speed. > The speed limiter is then active and the

display (5) shows the maximum speed selected and the maximum speed stored in the memory.

When stationary

1. Press the steering wheel button to switch on the speed limiter.

2. Scroll with the button until the instru- ment panel display shows the desired maximum speed. > The speed limiter is then active and the

The speed limiter is automatically re- activated after the release of the accel- erator pedal and the car’s speed is slowed down to below the selected/ stored maximum speed — the display’s brackets disappear and the car’s maxi- mum speed is again limited.

Alarm for speed exceeded

On steep roads the engine braking effect may be inadequate and the selected maximum speed exceeded. The driver is alerted about this with an acoustic signal.

The signal is active until the driver has slowed to below the selected maximum speed.

NOTE

The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds if the speed has been exceeded by at least 3 km/h provided that none of the buttons

or has been depressed during the last half minute.

Adaptive cruise control*

04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 169

General information on ACC

The adaptive cruise control (ACC Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. The cruise control provides a more relaxing driving expe- rience on long journeys on motorways and long straight main roads in smooth traffic flows.

The driver sets the desired speed and time interval 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 the standby mode and the car comes too close to a vehicle in front, then the driver is warned by Distance Warning (see page 179) 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 dis- tance.

The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions.

Read the whole of this section for informa- tion on the limitations of the adaptive cruise control. The driver must be familiar with this information before using the adaptive cruise control.

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.

Automatic gearbox

Cars with automatic gearbox have enhanced functionality with the adaptive cruise control’s Queue Assistant, see page 173.

Radar sensor

Adaptive cruise control consists of a cruise control system and a coordinated spacing sys- tem.

1 NOTE: The illustration is schematic — details may vary depending on car model.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Adaptive cruise control*

04

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

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must inter- vene 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 vehi- cles 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 distance to the vehicle ahead is mainly measured by a radar sensor. 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 cruise con- trol.

WARNING

The brake pedal moves when the cruise control brakes. Do not rest your foot under the brake pedal as it could become trapped.

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 cruise control aims to control the speed in a smooth way. In situations that demand sud- den braking the driver must brake himself/her- self. This applies with large differences in speed, or if the vehicle in front brakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may come unexpectedly or not at all, see page 175.

The adaptive cruise control can be activated to follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h2 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 at which automatic braking ceases — the driver must then take over himself/herself to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead.

Warning lamp — braking by driver

required

Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to more than 40% of the car’s braking capacity.

If the car needs to be braked more heavily than cruise control capacity and the driver does not brake, then the cruise control uses the collision warning system’s warning lamp and warning sound (see page 187) to alert the driver that immediate intervention is required.

NOTE

The warning lamp may be difficult to notice in strong sunlight or when sunglasses are being worn.

WARNING

Cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor. Consequently there may be no warning or it may be sub- ject to a delay. Do not wait for a warning but brake when it is necessary.

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. The cruise control may have dif- ficultly in keeping the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when driving on steep roads, with a heavy load or with a trailer — in which case, be extra attentive and ready to slow down.

2 Queue Assistant (in cars with automatic gearbox) can operate in the range of 0-200 km/h, see page 173.

Changing the speed

In active mode the speed is adjusted 5 km/h with each press on or . In active mode the button has the same function as but results in a lower increase in speed. The last press is stored in the memory.

NOTE

If any cruise control button is held depressed for more than approx. 1 minute then cruise control is disengaged. The engine must be switched off in order to reset cruise control.

In certain situations, cruise control cannot be activated. Then the display shows Cruise control Unavailable, see page 177.

Set time interval

Different time intervals to the vehicle in front can be selected and shown in the display as 1-5 horizontal lines — the more lines the longer the time distance. One line corre- sponds to approximately

1 second, 5 lines approximately 2.5 seconds.

The time interval is increased or decreased with the steering wheel keypad’s thumbwheel (or 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.

The number of lines for the selected time interval is shown during the setting itself and for several seconds after- wards. Then a smaller scale version of the symbol is shown to the right of the dis-

play. The same symbol is also shown when Distance Warning is activated, see page 179.

NOTE

Only use the time interval that is allowed in accordance with local traffic regulations.

If cruise control does not seem to react to activation the reason may be that the time interval to the closest vehicle prevents an increase in speed.

The higher the speed, the longer the calcu- lated distance in metres for a specific time interval.

Temporary deactivation — standby mode

Press the steering wheel button to tempo- rarily disengage the cruise control and set it in standby mode — set speed is shown in brackets in the display, e.g. (100).

the gear selector is moved to N position (automatic gearbox)

the driver maintains a speed higher than the set speed for longer than 1 minute

The driver must then regulate the speed.

A temporary increase in speed with the accel- erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the cruise control setting — the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Automatic standby mode

Adaptive cruise control is dependent on other systems e.g. stability and traction control (DSTC). If any of these systems stop working then cruise control is automatically deacti- vated.

In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message Cruise control

Cancelled is shown in the display. The driver must then intervene and adapt the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.

An automatic deactivation can be due to:

engine speed is too low/high

speed falls below 30 km/h8

wheels lose traction

brake temperature is high

the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).

Resume set speed

Queue Assistant

In cars with automatic gearbox the adaptive cruise control has the Queue Assistant function (sometimes also referred to as «Queue Assist»).

Queue Assistant has the following functions:

Extended speed range

Change of target

Automatic braking ceases when stationary

Automatic activation parking brake.

Note that the lowest programmable speed for the cruise control is 30 km/h — even though the cruise control is capable of following another vehicle down to a standstill, a lower speed cannot be selected.

Extended speed range

NOTE

In order to activate the cruise control the driver’s door must be closed and the driver must be wearing the seatbelt.

With the automatic gearbox the cruise con- trol can follow another vehicle within the range of 0-200 km/h — right down to sta- tionary and up to 200 km/h.

8 Does not apply to a car with Queue Assistant — it manages right down to stationary.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Adaptive cruise control*

04

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

NOTE

Activation of the cruise control below 30 km/h requires a vehicle in front within a reasonable distance.

For shorter stops in connection with inching in slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is auto- matically resumed if the stops do not exceed about 3 seconds — if it takes longer before the car in front starts moving again then the cruise control is set in standby mode. The driver must then re-activate the cruise control in one of the following ways:

Press the steering wheel button .

or

Press the accelerator pedal and accelerate up to at least about 4 km/h (normal walking pace).

The cruise control will then resume following the vehicle in front.

NOTE

The cruise control can hold the car station- ary for a maximum of 2 minutes — then the parking brake is applied and the cruise con- trol is disengaged.

The driver has to release the parking brake before the cruise control can be reactivated.

Change of target

If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front.

When the cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h and changes target from a moving to a stationary vehicle, the cruise control will slow down for the stationary vehicle.

WARNING

When the cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds in excess of 30 km/h and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the cruise control will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead select the stored speed.
