Reading the owner's manual is a good way to become familiar with new functions, get advice on how best to handle the car in different situa- tions and learn how to make the best use of all the car's features. Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the owner's man- ual.
Development work is constantly in progress to improve our product. Modifications may mean that information, descriptions and illustrations in the owner's manual differ from the equipment in the car. We reserve the right to make modifica- tions without prior notice.

IMPORTANT
Do not remove this manual from the car - should a problem arise then the information required about where and how to seek pro- fessional help would be missing.

NOTE
NOTE texts give advice or tips that facilitate the use of e.g. features and functions.
Footnote There is footnote information in the owner's man- ual 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.

NOTE
It is not intended that the decals illustrated in the owner's manual should be exact replicas of those in the car. They are included to show their approximate appearance and locations in the car. The information that applies to your particular car can be found on the decal on the car.
Procedure lists Procedures where action must be taken in a cer- tain sequence are numbered in the owner's man- ual.
When there is a series of illustrations for step-by-step instructions each step is num- bered in the same way as the corresponding illustration.
Lists of letters appear adjacent to the series of illustrations where the order of the instruc- tions is not significant.

Recording data As part of Volvo's safety and quality assurance, certain information about the vehicle's operation, functionality and incidents are recorded in the car.
This vehicle is equipped with an "Event Data Recorder" (EDR). Its primary purpose is to regis- ter and record data related to traffic accidents or collision-like situations, such as times when the airbag deploys or the vehicle strikes an obstacle in the road. The data is recorded in order to increase understanding of how vehicle systems work in these types of situations. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short time, usually 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record data related to the following in the event of traffic accidents or collision-like situations:
How the various systems in the car worked
Whether the driver and passenger seatbelts were fastened/tensioned
The driver's use of the accelerator or brake pedal
The travel speed of the vehicle
This information can help us better understand the circumstances in which traffic accidents, inju- ries and damage occur. The EDR only records data when a non-trivial collision situation occurs. The EDR does not record any data during normal
driving conditions. Similarly, the system never registers who is driving the vehicle or the geo- graphic location of the accident or near-miss sit- uation. However, other parties, such as the police, could use the recorded data in combination with the type of personally identifiable information routinely collected after a traffic accident. Special equipment and access to either the vehicle or the EDR is required to be able to interpret the regis- tered data.
In addition to the EDR, the car is equipped with a number of computers designed to continually check and monitor the function of the car. They can record data during normal driving conditions, but in particular register faults affecting the vehi- cle's operation and functionality, or upon activa- tion of the vehicle's active driver support function (e.g. City Safety and the auto brake function).
Some of the recorded data is required to enable service and maintenance technicians to diagnose and remedy any faults that occurred in the vehi- cle. The registered information is also needed to enable Volvo to satisfy legal requirements laid out in laws and by government authorities. Informa- tion registered in the vehicle is stored in its com- puter until the vehicle is serviced or repaired.
In addition to the above, the registered informa- tion can be used in aggregate form for research and product development with the aim of contin- uously improving the safety and quality of Volvo cars.

Environmental philosophy Volvo Car Corporation is constantly working on the development of safer and more efficient
products and solutions in order to reduce the negative impact on the environment.
Environmental care is one of Volvo Cars core val- ues and influences all operations. The environ- mental work is based on the whole life cycle of the car and takes into account the environmental impact it has, from design to scrapping and recy- cling. Volvo Cars' basic principle is that every new product developed must have less impact on the environment than the product it replaces.
Volvo's environmental management work has resulted in the development of the more efficient and less polluting Drive-E drivelines. The personal environment is also important to Volvo - the air
inside a Volvo is, for example, cleaner than the air outside thanks to the climate control system.
Your Volvo complies with stringent international environmental standards. All Volvo's manufactur- ing units must be ISO 14001 certified, and this supports a systematic approach to the opera- tion's environmental issues, which leads to con- tinuous improvement with reduced environmental impact. Holding the ISO certificate also means that environmental laws and regulations in force are complied with. Volvo also requires that its partners must also meet these requirements.
Fuel consumption Since a large part of a car's total environmental impact stems from its use, the emphasis of Volvo Cars' environmental work is on reducing fuel con- sumption, carbon dioxide emissions and other air pollutants. Volvo cars have competitive fuel con- sumption in each of their respective classes. Lower fuel consumption generally results in lower emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.

Contributing to a better environment An energy-efficient and fuel-efficient car not only contributes to a reduced impact on the environ- ment, but also means reduced costs for the owner of the car. As the driver, it is easy to reduce fuel consumption and thereby save money and contribute to a better environment - here is some advice:
Plan for an effective average speed. Speeds above approx. 80 km/h (50 mph) and below 50 km/h (30 mph) lead to increased energy consumption.
Follow the Service and Warranty Booklet's recommended intervals for service and main- tenance of the car.
Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the engine when stationary for longer periods. Pay attention to local regulations.
Plan the journey - a lot of unnecessary stops and uneven speed contribute to increased fuel consumption.
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 reaches nor- mal operating temperature more quickly, which lowers consumption and reduces emissions.
Also remember to always dispose of environmen- tally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oil, in an environmentally safe manner. Consult a work-
shop in the event of uncertainty about how this type of waste should be discarded - an author- ised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Following this advice can save money, the plan- et's resources are saved, and the car's durability is extended. For more information and further advice see Eco guide (p. 70), Economical driv- ing (p. 316) and Fuel consumption (p. 422).
Efficient emission control Your Volvo is manufactured following the concept "Clean inside and out" a concept that encom- passes a clean interior environment as well as highly efficient emission control. In many cases the exhaust emissions are well below the applica- ble standards.
Clean air in the passenger compartment A passenger compartment filter prevents dust and pollen from entering the passenger compart- ment via the air intake.
The Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)* ensures that the incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traffic outside.
The system cleans the air in the passenger com- partment from contaminants such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and ground-level ozone. If the outside air is contaminated then the air intake is closed and the air is recirculated. Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic, queues and tunnels for example.
IAQS is a part of the Clean Zone Interior Pack- age (CZIP)*, which also includes a function that allows the fan to start when the car is unlocked with the remote control key.
Interior The material used in the interior of a Volvo is carefully selected and has been tested in order to be pleasant and comfortable. Some of the details are hand-made, such as the seams of the steer- ing wheel that are sewn by hand. The interior is monitored in order not to emit strong odours or substances that cause discomfort in the event of e.g. high heat and bright light.
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 also contribute to a cleaner environment. When Volvo's workshops are entrusted with the service and maintenance of your car it becomes part of Volvo's system. Volvo makes clear demands regarding the way in which workshop premises shall be designed in order to prevent spills and discharges into the environment. The workshop staff have the knowl- edge and the tools required to guarantee good environmental care.
Recycling Since Volvo works from a life cycle perspective, it is also important that the car is recycled in an environmentally sound manner. Almost all of the car can be recycled. The last owner of the car is

General information on seatbelts Heavy braking can have serious consequences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all pas- sengers are using their seatbelts during the jour- ney.
Tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder. The hip strap must be positioned low down (not over the abdomen).
It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a normal seating position.
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fasten their (p. 29) seatbelt by means of an audio and visual reminder (p. 31).
Remember Do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly.
The seatbelt must not be twisted or caught on anything.
WARNING 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 person.
WARNING Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
If a seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the protective characteristics of the seatbelt may have been lost, even if it appears to be undamaged. In addition, replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or damaged. The new seat- belt must be type-approved and intended for installation in the same position as the replaced seatbelt.

The diagonal section should wrap over the shoul- der then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen.
The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove the slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits as close to the body as possible. In addition, check that there are no twists in the seatbelt.
As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers must adjust the seat (p. 83) and steering wheel (p. 88) such that they can easily maintain con- trol of the vehicle as they drive (which means that they must be able to easily operate the foot ped- als and steering wheel). The aim should be to
position the seat with as large a distance as pos- sible between abdomen and steering wheel.

The audio reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time dependent. The visual reminder is located in the roof console and in the com- bined instrument panel (p. 66).
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 (p. 28) are being used in the rear seat. A message appears in the combined instru- ment panel 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 pressing the indicator stalk OK button (p. 112).
Provides a warning if one of the rear seat- belts is unfastened during travel. This warn- ing takes the form of a message in the com- bined instrument panel along with the audio/ visual signal. The warning stops when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can also be acknowledged manually by pressing the OK button.
The message in the combined instrument panel showing which seatbelts are in use is always shown. Press the OK button to see stored mes- sages.
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 sec- onds.
Seatbelt tensioner All the seatbelts (p. 28) are equipped with belt tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten- sioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a suf- ficiently violent collision. The seatbelt then pro- vides more effective restraint for the occupants.
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 for- eign objects into a buckle. The seatbelts and buckles would then possibly not function as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serous injury.

Airbag system viewed from above, left-hand-drive car.
G 0 1 8 6 6 6
Airbag system viewed from above, right-hand-drive car.
The system consists of airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag(s) are inflated and become hot. The airbag cushions the initial collision impact for the occupant. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely normal. The entire process, including inflation and defla- tion of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a sec- ond.
If the airbags have deployed, the following is rec- ommended:
Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not drive with deployed air- bags.
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.
WARNING The airbag system's 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 inten- sive exposure. In case of irritation, wash with cold water. The rapid deployment sequence and airbag fabric may cause friction and skin burns.
WARNING Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop for repair. Defec- tive work in the airbag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.
NOTE
The detectors react differently depending on the nature of the collision and whether or not the seatbelts are fastened. Applies to all belt positions.
It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a collision. The detectors sense the force of the collision on the vehicle and the action is adapted accord- ingly so that one or more airbags are deployed.

Side airbag (SIPS) In a side impact collision a large proportion of the collision force is transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pil- lars, the floor, the roof and other structural parts of the body. The side airbags at the driver's and front passenger seats protect the chest area and the hip and are an important part of the SIPS.
G 0 3 2 9 4 9
The SIPS bag system consists of two main com- ponents, side airbag and sensors. The side air- bags are located in the front seat's backrests.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the side airbags are inflated. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel and thereby cushions the initial impact. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. The side airbag is normally only deployed on the side of the collision.
Driver's seat, left-hand drive.
Front passenger seat, left-hand drive.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that repairs are only carried out by an authorised Volvo work- shop. 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.
Side airbags are a supplement the seat- belts. Always use a seatbelt.

Inflatable Curtain (IC) The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and passengers from striking their heads on the inside of the car during a collision.
Inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is part of the SIPS system (p. 38) and the airbag system (p. 33). It is fitted along both sides of the headlin- ing and helps protect the driver and passengers in the car's outer seats. A sufficiently violent colli- sion trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.
WARNING Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hook is only designed for light clothing (not for solid objects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended protection. Volvo recommends that you only ever use Volvo genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas.
WARNING Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the windows in the doors. Otherwise, the intended protection of the inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

The WHIPS system is actuated by a rear-end col- lision, where the angle and speed of the collision,
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.
Seat properties When the WHIPS system is deployed, the front seat backrests are lowered backward to change 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.

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 rec- ommends that it is checked by an authorised Volvo workshop.
Part of the WHIPS system's protective capacity may have been lost even if the seat appears to be undamaged.
Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the sys- tem checked even after a minor rear-end col- lision.
Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) Volvo's Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS) has been designed to reduce the risk of the car overturning and to provide the best possible pro- tection in the event of such an accident.
The system consists of two parts, a preventive stabilising system and a protective system.
The stabilising system Roll Stability Control (RSC) minimises the risk of overturning, for example during sudden evasive manoeuvres or if the car skids.
The RSC system uses a sensor which registers changes in the car's lateral inclination angle. This information is used to calculate the risk of the car overturning. If a risk exists then the ESC system (p. 191) engages, engine torque is reduced and one or more wheels are braked until the car has regained its stability.
If a rollover accident still occurs, the protective system intervenes and, depending on the situa- tion, may activate the car's seatbelt tensioner (p. 31) and inflatable curtains (p. 39).
WARNING Under normal driving conditions, the RSC sys- tem improves the car's road safety, but this must not be seen as an opportunity to increase speed. Always follow the normal pre- cautions for safe driving.

General information on safety mode Safety mode is a protective state that is trig- gered when a collision may have damaged any of the car's vital functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors for any of the safety systems, or the brake system.
Warning triangle in the analogue combined instrument panel.
Warning triangle in the digital combined instrument panel.
If the car is involved in a collision, the text Safety mode See manual may appear in the combined instrument panel (p. 66) information display. This means that the car has reduced functional- ity.
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.

Safety mode - attempting to start the car If the car is set in safety mode (p. 42) then an attempt to start the car can be made if every- thing seems normal and the absence of fuel leakage has been checked.
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 but- ton. 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 service (p. 326) used instead. Even if the car appears to be driveable, hidden damage may make the car impossible to control once moving.
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 transported to an authorised Volvo workshop.

General information on child safety Volvo has child safety equipment (child seats, booster cushions & attachment devices) which is designed for fitting in this particular car.
Using Volvo's child safety equipment, the opti- mum conditions are obtained for the child to travel safely in the car. In addition, the child safety equipment fits well and is simple to use.
Children of all ages and sizes must always sit correctly secured in the car. Never allow a child to sit on the knee of a passenger.
Volvo recommends that children travel in rear- facing child seats until as late an age as possible, at least up to 3-4 years of age, and then in front- facing booster cushions/child seats until the child is 140 cm tall.
NOTE
Legal provisions about the type of child seat that must be used for children of different ages and heights vary from country to coun- try. Check what does apply.
NOTE
In the event of questions when fitting child safety products, contact the manufacturer for clearer instructions.
Child safety locks The rear doors and the windows in the rear doors* can be locked manually (p. 184) or elec- tronically (p. 184)* to prevent them being opened from inside.

Child seat - two-stage booster seat* The integrated booster seats in the rear seat allow children to sit comfortably and safely.
The booster cushions are specially designed to provide optimum safety. In combination with the seatbelt (p. 28) they are approved for children who weigh between 15 and 36 kg and who are at least 95 cm in height.
Correct position, the seatbelt should be positioned in on the shoulder.
Incorrect positioning, the seatbelt must not be placed beneath the shoulder.
Check before driving that:
the integrated two-stage booster seat is cor- rectly set in accordance with the table (p. 52) and in locked position
the seatbelt is in contact with the child's body and is not slack or twisted
the seatbelt does not lie across the child's throat or below the shoulder (see preceding illustrations)
the lap section of the seatbelt is positioned low over the pelvis to provide optimal protec- tion.
Adjusting the booster seat's two levels is per- formed by raising (p. 52) and lowering (p. 53).
SAFETY
* Option/accessory.52
WARNING Volvo recommends that repair or replacement is only carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not make any modifications or additions to the booster cushion. If an inte- grated booster cushion has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire booster cushion must be replaced. Even if the booster cushion appears to be undamaged, it may not afford the same level of protection. The booster cushion must also be replaced if it is heavily worn.
WARNING If the instructions for the two-stage booster seat are not followed then the child could sustain serious injury in the event of an acci- dent.
Two-stage booster seat* - raising The integrated booster seat (p. 51) in the rear seat can be folded up into two stages. How many stages the cushion should be folded up depends on the child's weight.

Child seats - upper mounting points The car is equipped with upper mounting points for certain front-facing child seats (p. 45). These mounting points are located on the rear of the seat.
The upper mounting points are primarily intended for use with front-facing child seats. Volvo recom- mends that small children should sit in rear-fac- ing child seats to as late an age as possible.
NOTE
Fold the head restraints in order to facilitate fitting this type of child seat in cars with fold- ing head restraints on the outer seats.
NOTE
In cars with a cargo cover over the luggage compartment, this must be removed before child seats can be attached to the securing points.
For detailed information on how the child seat should be tensioned in the upper mounting points, see the seat manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING The child seat's straps must always be drawn through the hole in the head restraint leg before they are tensioned at the attachment point.

Functionality check All indicator and warning symbols, apart from symbols in the centre of the information display, illuminate in key position II or when the engine is started. When the engine has started, all the symbols should go out except the parking brake symbol, which only goes out when the brake is disengaged.
If the engine does not start or if the functionality check is carried out in key position II then all symbols go out within a few seconds except the symbol for faults in the car's emissions system and the symbol for low oil pressure.

Eco guide & Power guide* Eco guide and Power guide are two combined instrument panel (p. 66) instruments which help the driver to drive the car with optimum driving economy.
The car also stores statistics of journeys made, which can be viewed in the form of a block dia- gram; see Trip computer - trip statistics* (p. 124).
Eco guide This instrument provides an indication of how economically the car is being driven.
To view this function, select the theme "Eco"; see Digital combined instrument panel - overview (p. 67).
Instantaneous value
Average value
Instantaneous value The instantaneous value is shown here - the higher the reading on the scale, the better.
The instantaneous value is calculated based on speed, engine speed, engine power utilised plus use of the foot brake.
Optimum speed (50-80 km/h (30-50 mph)) and low engine speeds are encouraged. The pointers fall during acceleration and braking.
Very low instantaneous values illuminate the red zone on the meter (with a short delay), which means poor driving economy and hence should be avoided.
Average value The average value slowly follows the instantane- ous value and describes how the car has been driven most recently. The higher the pointers on the scale, the better the economy achieved by the driver.
Power guide This instrument shows the relationship between how much power (Power) is being taken from the engine and how much power is available.
To view this function, select the theme "Performance"; see Digital combined instrument panel - overview (p. 67).
Available engine power
Engine power utilised
Available engine power The smaller, upper pointer shows the available engine power9. The higher the reading on the scale, the more power is available in the current gear.
Engine power utilised The larger, lower pointer shows the engine power utilised9. The higher the reading on the scale, the more power is being taken from the engine.
A large gap between the two pointers indicates a large power reserve.
9 Power is dependent on engine speed.

ABL fault The symbol illuminates if a fault has arisen in the ABL function (Active Bending Lights).
Emissions system If the symbol illuminates after the engine has been started 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 contin- ues 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 switched on.
Stability system A flashing symbol indicates that the stability sys- tem is operating. If the symbol illuminates with constant glow then there is a fault in the system.
Stability system, sport mode The symbol illuminates when the sport mode is activated. Sport mode allows for a more active driving experience. The system then detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel movements 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 preheating. Preheating takes place mostly due to low tem- perature.
Low level in fuel tank When the symbol illuminates the level in the fuel tank is low, refuel as soon as possible.

Tunnel detection* Tunnel detection changes the lighting from day- time running lights to dipped beam when the car is driven into a tunnel.
The tunnel detection function is available in cars with rain sensor*. The sensor detects the entrance to a tunnel and resets the lighting from daytime running lights to dipped beam. Approx. 20 seconds after the car has left the tunnel, the lighting returns to daytime running lights. If the car is driven into another tunnel within this time period then dipped beam is kept switched on. This avoids repeated changes to the car's light- ing.

Active main beam* Active main beam function detects the headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or the rear lights of vehicles in front, and switches the lighting from main beam to dipped beam. The lighting returns to main beam when the incoming light has stop- ped.
Active main beam - AHB Active main beam (Active High Beam - AHB) is a function which uses a camera sensor at the top edge of the windscreen to detect the headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or the rear lights of vehicles in front, and then switches from main beam to dipped beam. The function can also take streetlights into account.
Main beam is reactivated when the camera sen- sor no longer sees any oncoming vehicles or vehicles ahead.
Car with halogen headlamps
The lighting returns to main beam about a sec- ond after the camera sensor no longer detects the headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.
Car with active Xenon headlamps
If the active main beam has the on/off functional- ity21 then the lighting returns to main beam about a second after the camera sensor no longer
detects the headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.
If the active main beam has adaptive functional- ity21 then, unlike what happens during conven- tional dimming, the light beam continues to illu- minate with main beam on both sides of oncom- ing traffic or vehicles ahead - only the part of the light beam that points directly to the vehicle is dimmed.
Adaptive functionality: Dipped beam directly toward oncoming vehicles, but continued main beam on both sides of the vehicle.
The lighting returns to full main beam about a second after the camera sensor no longer detects the headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.

NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the camera sensor free from ice, snow, mist and dirt.
Do not stick or attach anything to the wind- screen in front of the camera sensor as this may reduce effectiveness or cause one or more of the systems dependent on the cam- era to stop working.
If the message Active main beam Temporary unavailable Switch manually is shown in the combined instrument panel's information display then you have to switch manually between main and dipped beam. However, the knob for head-
lamp control can still remain in position . The same applies if the message Windscreen sensors blocked See manual and the

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
* Option/accessory.108
Rearview mirror - interior The interior rearview mirror can be dimmed with a control in the mirror's lower edge. Alternatively, the rearview mirror dims automatically.
Control for dimming
Manual dimming Bright light from behind could be reflected in the rearview mirror and dazzle the driver. Use dim- ming with the dimming control when lights from behind are distracting:
1. Use dimming by moving the control in towards the passenger compartment.
2. Return to normal position by moving the con- trol towards the windscreen.
Automatic dimming* Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed by the rearview mirror. The control for manual dimming is not available on mirrors with auto- matic dimming.
The rearview mirror contains two sensors - one forward facing and one rearward facing - that work together to identify and eliminate dazzling light. The forward facing sensor detects ambient light, while the rearward facing sensor detects the light from vehicle headlights behind.
NOTE
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking permits, transponders, sun visors or objects in the seats or in the cargo area in such a way that light is prevented from reaching the sen- sors, then the dimming function of the interior rearview and door mirrors is reduced.
Only rearview mirror with automatic dimming can be equipped with compass (p. 108).
Related information Door mirrors (p. 106)
Compass* The upper right-hand corner of the rearview mir- ror contains a display that shows the compass direction in which the front of the car is pointing.
Operation

Trip computer The car's trip computer records and calculates vales such as e.g. distance, fuel consumption and average speed whilst driving.
Trip computer content and appearance varies depending on whether the combined instrument panel is analogue or digital:
Trip computer - analogue combined instru- ment panel (p. 118)
Trip computer - digital combined instrument panel (p. 121)
The information from the trip computer can be shown in the combined instrument panel's information display29.
Trip meter The trip computer has two trip meters and one odometer for the total mileage.
Average Average fuel consumption is calculated from the last resetting.
NOTE
There may be a slight deviation if a fuel-driven heater* has been used.
Average speed The average speed is calculated for the driving distance driven since the last reset to zero.
Instantaneous The information for current fuel consumption is updated continuously - approximately once per second. When the car is driven at low speed the consumption is shown per time unit - at a higher speed it is shown related to mileage.
Different units (km/miles) can be selected for the display - see section "Change unit" (p. 116).
Range - distance to empty tank The trip computer shows the approximate dis- tance that can be driven with the fuel quantity remaining in the tank.
No guaranteed range remains when the heading Distance to empty shows "----".
In which case, refuel as soon as possible.
The calculation is based on the average fuel con- sumption over the last 30 km and the remaining driveable fuel quantity.
NOTE
There may be a slight deviation if the driving style has been changed.
An economic driving style generally results in a longer driving distance. For more information on how fuel consumption can be influenced, see Volvo Car Corporation 's Environmental Philoso- phy (p. 22).

CLIMATE CONTROL
CLIMATE CONTROL
* Option/accessory.126
General information on climate control The car is equipped with electronic climate con- trol (p. 132). The climate control system cools or heats as well as dehumidifies the air in the passenger compartment.
NOTE
Air conditioning (AC) (p. 136) 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 switched on.
To bear in mind To ensure that the air conditioning works
optimally, the side windows, and sunroof* should be closed.
Global opening (p. 180) opens/closes all side windows simultaneously and can be used for example to quickly air the car during hot weather.
Remove ice and snow from the climate con- trol system air intake (the grille between the bonnet and the windscreen).
In warm weather, condensation from the air conditioning may drip under the car. This is normal.
When the engine requires full power, e.g. for full acceleration, the air conditioning can be temporarily switched off. There may then be
a temporary increase in temperature in the passenger compartment.
Remove misting on the insides of the win- dows primarily by using the defroster func- tion (p. 136). To reduce the risk of misting, keep the windows clean and use window cleaner.
Cars with Start/Stop* With an auto-stopped (p. 290) engine certain equipment may have its function temporarily reduced, e.g. climate control fan speed (p. 134).
Cars with ECO* Certain equipment may have its function tempo- rarily reduced or deactivated when the ECO (p. 298) function is activated, e.g. the air condi- tioning (p. 136).
NOTE
When the ECO function is activated, several parameters in the climate control system's settings are changed, and several electricity consumer functions are reduced. Certain set- tings can be reset manually, but full function- ality is only restored by deactivating the ECO function.

Actual temperature The temperature you select in the passenger compartment corresponds to the physical expe- rience with reference to factors such as ambient temperature, air speed, humidity and solar radia- tion etc. in and around the car at the time.
The system includes a sun sensor (p. 127) 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.

Air quality - passenger compartment filter All air entering the car's passenger compartment is cleaned with a filter.
The filter must be replaced at regular intervals. Follow the Volvo Service Programme for the rec- ommended 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 fil- ter is fitted.
Related information Air quality (p. 127)
Air quality - Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP)* CZIP comprises a series of modifications that keep the passenger compartment even clearer from allergy and asthma-inducing substances.
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 pas- senger compartment with fresh air. The func- tion starts when required and is disengaged 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 (p. 128) is a fully automatic system that cleans the air in the passenger compartment from contaminants such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and ground-level ozone.

Air quality (p. 127)
Air quality - IAQS* The air quality system IAQS 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.
It is possible to activate/deactivate the function in the menu system MY CAR. For a description of the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 115).
NOTE
The air quality sensor must always be enabled to ensure the best air in the passenger com- partment.
In a cold climate recirculation is limited so as to prevent misting.
In the event of misting, the air quality sensor should be disengaged, and the defroster functions for the windscreen and side win- dows, as well as the rear window, should be used.

Roof load The load carriers recommended for roof loads are the ones developed by Volvo. This is in order to avoid damage to the car and in order to achieve the maximum possible safety during a journey.
Carefully follow the installation instructions sup- plied with the carriers.
Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Lash the load securely with retaining straps.
Distribute the load evenly over the load carri- ers. Put the heaviest objects at the bottom.
The size of the area exposed to the wind, and therefore fuel consumption, increase with the size of the load.
Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration, heavy braking and hard cornering.
WARNING The car's centre of gravity and driving charac- teristics are altered by roof loads.
For information about the maximum permitted load on the roof, including load carriers and any space box, see Weights (p. 410).

All remote control keys have a detachable key blade (p. 169) made of metal. The visible section is available in two versions so that it is possible to distinguish between the remote control keys.
More remote control keys can be ordered - but not variants other than the one supplied with the car. Up to six keys can be programmed and used for one single car.
The car is supplied with two remote control keys.
WARNING If there are children in the car:
Remember to switch off the supply to the power windows and sunroof by removing the remote control key if the driver leaves the car.

Remote control key - personalisation* The key memory in the remote control key (p. 162) means that certain settings in the car can be individually adapted for different people.
The key memory function is available in combina- tion with, for example, power* driver's seat.
Settings for door mirrors (p. 106), driver's seat, steering force (p. 190) and the combined instru- ment panel's theme, contrast and colour mode (p. 67) can be stored in the memory, depending on the car's equipment level.
The function1 can be activated/deactivated in the menu system MY CAR. For a description of the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 115).
When the function is activated, the settings are automatically linked to the key memory. This means that a change in a setting will automati- cally be saved to the specific remote control key's memory.
Storing settings Proceed as follows in order to store the settings and use the key memory in the remote control key:
1. Unlock the car with the remote control key in whose memory the setting2 shall be stored.
2. Make sure that the key memory function is activated in the menu system MY CAR.
3. Make the desired settings for e.g. the seat and the door mirrors.
4. The settings are stored in the current remote control key's memory.
The next time the car is unlocked with the same remote control key, the positions that are stored in the key memory will be set automatically - pro- viding that they have been changed since the last time the current remote control key was used.
Emergency stop If the seat accidentally begins to move, press one of the setting buttons for the seat or memory buttons in order to stop the seat.
Restarting to reach the seat position stored in the key memory is performed by pressing the unlock button on the remote control key. The driver's door must then be open.
WARNING Risk of crushing! Make sure that children do not play with the controls. Check that there are no objects in front of, behind or under the seat during adjustment. Make sure that none of the passengers in the rear seat is in danger of becoming trapped.
Changing settings If several people each with a remote control key approach the car, then the settings for e.g. seat and door mirrors are implemented for the person whose remote control key unlocks the driver's door.
If the driver's door has been opened by person A with remote control key A, but person B with remote control key B shall drive, then the settings can be changed as follows:
Standing by the driver's door, or sitting behind the steering wheel, person B presses the button for unlocking on his/her remote control key, see Remote control key - func- tions (p. 166).
Select one of three possible memories for seat adjustment with seat button 1-3, see Seats, front - electrically operated* (p. 84).
Adjust seat and door mirrors manually, see Seats, front - electrically operated* (p. 84) and Door mirrors (p. 106).

Reactivation of settings When the car is locked or after 30 minutes if the car is left unlocked, the key memory will be deac- tivated and a standard driver profile will be set. To reactivate the key memory for the current remote control key, the following is required.
For cars without keyless start and lock system The settings that are stored in the key memory are activated if the car is unlocked by pressing the remote control key's unlock button.
For cars with keyless start and lock system The key memory is activated if:
1. The car is unlocked either by pressing the remote control key's unlock button or via keyless unlocking.
2. If the car is unlocked, a key scan is made when the driver's door is opened. If a unique remote control key is found, its stored set- tings will be activated. If the car is locked, see the previous point.

If there is a fault in the alarm system then the information display in the combined instrument panel shows a message. In which case, contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec- ommended.
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 portable electric heater) shall be used - direct the air- flow from the air vents so that they are not pointing upwards in the passenger compart- ment. Alternatively, reduced alarm level can be used, see Reduced alarm level* (p. 187).

Active chassis - Four C* Active chassis "Four-C" (Continously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the characteristics 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 maximum roadholding and rolling in bends is further mini- mised.
Operation
Control buttons.
The required chassis setting is selected using the centre console buttons. The setting used when the engine was switched off is re-activated when the engine is next started.
Adjustable steering force* Speed related power steering causes the steer- ing wheel force to increase with the speed of the car in order to give the driver enhanced sensitiv- ity.
On motorways the steering feels firmer. 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 in the menu system MY CAR (p. 115):
Once there, search for Steering force level and select Low, Medium or High.
This setting is not accessible when the car is moving.
NOTE
In certain situations the power steering may become too hot and then needs to be tempo- rarily cooled - during this time the power steering operates with reduced power and turning the steering wheel may then be per- ceived to be slightly heavier.
In parallel with the temporarily reduced steer- ing assistance the combined instrument panel shows a message.

Electronic stability control (ESC) - general Stability system ESC (Electronic Stability Control) helps the driver to avoid skidding and improves the car's traction.
The activation of the ESC system dur- ing braking may be noticed as a throb- bing sound. The car may accelerate slower than expected when the accel-
erator pedal is depressed.
WARNING The stability system ESC is supplementary assistance - it cannot handle all situations in all road conditions.
The driver always bears responsibility that the vehicle is driven safely and that applicable road traffic rules and regulations are followed.
The ESC system consists of the following func- tions:
Active Yaw Control
Spin Control
Traction control system
Engine drag control - EDC
Corner Traction Control - CTC
Trailer Stability Assist - TSA
Active Yaw Control The function checks 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 acceler- ation.
Traction control system The function is active at low speed and transfers power from the driving wheel that is spinning to the one that is not.
Engine drag control - EDC EDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involuntary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or engine braking when driving in low gears on slippery road surfaces.
Involuntary wheel locking while driving can, amongst other things, impair the driver's ability to steer the car.
Corner Traction Control - CTC* CTC compensates for understeer and allows higher than normal acceleration in a bend without wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. on an arcing motorway entrance road to quickly reach the pre- vailing traffic speed.

Electronic stability control (ESC) - operation
Selection of level - Sport mode The ESC system is always activated - it cannot be deactivated.
However, the driver can select the Sport mode, which allows for a more active driving experi- ence.
Sport mode is selected in the menu system MY CAR. For a
description of the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 115).
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, for example, the driver stops a controlled skid by releasing the accelerator pedal, then the ESC system intervenes and stabilises the car.
With Sport mode, maximum traction is also obtained if the car has become stuck, or when driving on a loose surface - e.g. sand or deep snow.
Sport mode is indicated in the com- bined instrument panel by means of this symbol illuminating with a constant glow until the driver deselects the
function or until the engine is switched off - after the next time the engine is started the ESC sys- tem is back in its normal mode again.

Speed limiter* - deactivation A Speed Limiter (Speed Limiter) can be regar- ded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regu- lates the speed using the accelerator pedal but is prevented from accidentally exceeding a pre- selected/set speed by the speed limiter.
To deactivate the speed limiter:
Press the steering wheel button .
> The combined instrument panel's symbol for speed limiter (6) and the selection of the set speed (5) both extinguish - the set/stored speed is thus cleared and can-
not then be resumed with the button.

> The current speed is stored in memory and the combined instrument panel's marking (5) illuminates at the selected speed and the symbol (6) changes from GREY to WHITE - the car then follows the stored speed.
NOTE
Cruise Control cannot be enabled at speeds below 30 km/h (20 mph).
Changing the stored speed Stored speed is changed with short or long
presses on the or steering wheel button.
To adjust 5 km/h (5 mph):
Use short presses - each press gives 5 km/h (5 mph).
To adjust 1 km/h (1 mph):
Hold down the button and release it at the required speed.
Last press made is stored in the memory.
If speed is increased using the accelerator pedal
prior to pressing the / button, then it is the car's current speed when the button is pressed that is stored.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelera- tor 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.
NOTE
If any of the Cruise Control buttons are held depressed for several minutes then it is blocked and deactivated. To be able to reacti- vate Cruise Control, the car must be stopped and the engine restarted.

Distance Warning* The Distance Warning function (Distance Alert) warns the driver if the time interval to the vehicle ahead becomes too short.
Distance Warning is active at speeds above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts to vehicles driving in front of the car, in the same direction. No distance information is provided for oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles.
Orange-coloured warning lamp4.
An orange-coloured warning lamp in the wind- screen illuminates with a constant glow if the dis- tance to the vehicle in front is shorter than the set time interval.
NOTE
Distance warning is deactivated during the time the adaptive cruise control is active.
WARNING Distance warning only reacts if the distance to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset value - the speed of the driver's vehicle is not affected.
Operation
Press the button in the centre console to switch the function on or off. The function is switched on if one lamp is illuminated in the button.
Some combinations of the selected equipment leave no vacant space for a button in the centre
console - in which case, the function is operated in the car's menu system MY CAR (p. 115) - once there, search for the Distance Alert func- tion.

Distance Warning* - limitations
This function, which uses the same radar sensor as Adaptive cruise control (p. 204) and Collision warning with auto brake (p. 229), has certain lim- itations.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia- tions in light intensity, as well as wearing sun- glasses, could mean that the warning light in the windscreen cannot be seen.
Poor weather or winding roads could affect the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles in front.
The size of other vehicles could also affect detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. This could mean that the warning lamp illuminates at a shorter distance than the setting or that the warning is temporarily absent.
Extremely high speeds can also cause the lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance than that set due to limitations in sensor range.

Adaptive cruise control - ACC* The adaptive cruise control (ACC Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an even speed combined with a pre-selected time interval to the vehicle ahead.
The adaptive cruise control provides a more relaxing driving experience on long journeys on motorways and long straight main roads in smooth traffic flows.
The driver sets the desired speed (p. 207) and time interval (p. 209) to the car in front. When the radar detector detects a slower vehicle in front of the car, the speed is automatically adap- ted to that. When the road is clear again the car returns to the selected speed.
If the adaptive cruise control is switched off or set to standby mode (p. 209) and the car comes too close to a vehicle in front, then the driver is warned instead by the Distance Warning (p. 201) function about the short distance.
WARNING The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and intervene when the adaptive cruise control is not main- taining a suitable speed or suitable distance.
The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions.
Read all the sections about the adaptive cruise control in the owner's manual in order to learn about its limitations, of which the driver should be aware before it is used.
The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when the adaptive cruise control is being used.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of adaptive cruise control com- ponents must only be performed at a work- shop - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec- ommended.
For a limited time after the service, the ACC function can have a somewhat limited range. The system is calibrated whilst driving and full function returns automatically.

Adaptive cruise control* - function Adaptive cruise control consists of a cruise con- trol system and a coordinated spacing system.
Function overview
Function overview5.
Warning lamp - braking by driver required
Steering wheel keypad (p. 206)
Radar sensor (p. 217)
WARNING Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoid- ance system. The driver must intervene if the system does not detect a vehicle in front.
The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for low trailers, oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and objects.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at junc- tions, 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.
Distance to the vehicle ahead (p. 209) is meas- ured primarily by a radar sensor (p. 217). The cruise control function regulates the speed with acceleration and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a low sound when they are being used by the adaptive cruise control.
WARNING The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control brakes. Do not rest your foot beneath the brake pedal - it may then become trapped.
The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane according to what the driver set for time interval (p. 209). If the radar sensor cannot see any vehicle in front then the car will instead maintain the speed set and stored by the driver. This also takes place if the speed of the vehicle in front exceeds the stored speed.
The adaptive cruise control aims to control the speed in a smooth way. In situations that demand sudden braking the driver must brake himself/ herself. This applies with large differences in speed, or if the vehicle in front brakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radar sensor (p. 217) braking may come unexpectedly or not at all.
The adaptive cruise control can be activated to follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h6
(20 mph) up to 200 km/h (125 mph). If the speed falls below 30 km/h (20 mph) or if the engine speed becomes too low, the cruise con- trol is set in standby mode (p. 209) at which automatic braking ceases - the driver must then take over himself/herself to maintain a safe dis- tance to the vehicle in front.
5 NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may differ depending on car model. 6 Queue Assist (p. 211) (in cars with automatic gearbox) can operate in the range 0-200 km/h (0-125 mph).

Warning lamp - braking by driver required Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to approx. 40% of the car's braking capacity.
Audio-visual warning signal in the event of a collision risk7.
If the car needs to be braked more heavily than the adaptive cruise control capacity and the driver does not brake, then the warning lamp and warn- ing sound from the Collision warning system (p. 229) are used in order to alert the driver that immediate intervention is required.
NOTE
Information on the windscreen may be diffi- cult to see in strong sunlight and when wear- ing sunglasses.
WARNING The adaptive cruise control only warns of vehicles which its radar unit has detected - hence a warning may not be given, or it may be given with a certain delay. Do not wait for a warning without braking when so required.
Steep roads and/or heavy load Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving on level road surfaces. It may have difficulty in keeping the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when driving on steep downhill slopes, with a heavy load or with a trailer - in which case, be extra attentive and ready to slow down.

* Option/accessory.208
Press the steering wheel button - a simi- lar WHITE symbol illuminates in the com- bined instrument panel (8) which shows that the adaptive cruise control is in standby mode (p. 209).
To activate ACC:
At the required speed - press the steering
wheel button or .
> The current speed is stored in the memory, the combined instrument panel shows a "magnifying glass" (6) around the stored speed for a second or so and its marking changes from WHITE to GREEN.
When this symbol changes colour from WHITE to GREEN, the ACC is active and the car maintains the stored
speed.
Only when the symbol shows an image of another vehicle is the distance to the vehicle in front controlled by the ACC.
At the same time a speed range is marked:
the higher speed with GREEN marking is the pre-programmed speed
the lower speed is the speed of the vehicle in front.
Changing the stored speed Stored speed is changed with short or long
presses on the or steering wheel button.
To adjust +/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph):
Use short presses - each press gives +/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph).
To adjust +/- 1 km/h (+/- 1 mph):
Hold down the button and release it at the required speed.
Last press made is stored in the memory.
If speed is increased using the accelerator pedal
prior to pressing the / button, then it is the car's current speed when the button is pressed that is stored.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect

Adaptive cruise control* - set time interval
Different time intervals to the vehicle in front can be selected and shown in the combined instrument panel as 1-5 hori- zontal lines - the more lines the longer the time interval. One
line corresponds to approximately 1 second to the vehicle in front, 5 lines approximately 3 seconds.
To set/change the time distance:
Turn the thumbwheel on the steering wheel
keypad (p. 206) (or use the / buttons for cars without Speed limiter).
At low speed, when the distances are short, the adaptive cruise control increases the time interval slightly.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time inter- val 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 same symbol is also shown when Distance Warning (p. 201) function is activated.
NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations.
If the adaptive cruise control does not appear to react when activated, this may be because the time distance to the vehicle in front is pre- venting an increase in speed.
The higher the speed the longer the calcula- ted distance in metres for a given time inter- val.

the driver maintains speed higher than the stored speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then regulate the speed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the setting - the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode The adaptive cruise control is dependent on other systems, e.g. Stability system ESC (p. 191). If any of these systems stops working, the adap- tive cruise control is deactivated automatically.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message Adaptive cruise control cancelled is shown in the combined instrument panel. The driver must then intervene and adapt the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
the driver opens the door
the driver takes off his seatbelt
engine speed is too low/high
speed has fallen below 30 km/h11 (20 mph)
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 Adaptive cruise control in standby mode is reacti- vated with one press on the steering wheel but-
ton - the speed is then set to the last stored speed.

Adaptive cruise control* - overtaking another vehicle
When the car is following another vehicle and the driver indicates an impending overtaking manoeuvre with the direction indicator12, the adaptive cruise control helps to briefly accelerate the car towards the vehicle in front.
The function is active at speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph).
WARNING Be aware that this function can be activated in more situations other than during overtak- ing, e.g. when a direction indicator is used to indicate a change of lane or exit to another road - the car will then accelerate briefly.

Adaptive Cruise Control* - queue assistance Queue assistance also provides the adaptive cruise control with enhanced functionality at speeds below 30 km/h (20 mph).
In cars with automatic gearbox the adaptive cruise control is supplemented with the queue assistance function (also referred to as "Queue Assist").
Queue assistance has the following functions:
Extended speed range - also at lower than 30 km/h (20 mph) and at stationary
Change of target
Automatic braking ceases when stationary
Automatic activation parking brake.
Note that the lowest programmable speed for the adaptive cruise control is 30 km/h (20 mph) - even though it is capable of following another vehicle down to 0 km/h, a speed lower than 30 km/h (20 mph) cannot be selected/stored.
Extended speed range
NOTE
In order to activate the adaptive cruise control, the driver's door must be closed and the driver must be wearing the seatbelt.
With an automatic gearbox, the adaptive cruise control can follow another vehicle within the range 0-200 km/h (0-125 mph).
NOTE
A vehicle in front must be within a reasonable distance in order to enable activation of the adaptive cruise control at a speed lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).
For shorter stops in connection with inching in slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is automati- cally resumed if the stops do not exceed about 3 seconds - if it takes longer before the car in front starts moving again then the Adaptive cruise control is set in standby mode with auto- matic braking. The driver must then reactivate it in one of the following ways:
Press the steering wheel button

NOTE
The Queue Assist function can hold the car stationary for a maximum of 4 minutes - then the parking brake is applied and the adaptive cruise control is disengaged.
The parking brake must be released before the adaptive 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 adaptive cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is changed from a mov- ing vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the adaptive cruise control will brake for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING When the adaptive cruise control is following a vehicle in front at speeds in excess of 30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is changed from a vehicle in front to a stationary vehicle, the adaptive cruise control will ignore the sta- tionary vehicle and instead select the stored speed.
The driver must intervene him/herself and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change of target The adaptive cruise control is disengaged and set in standby mode:
when the speed is below 5 km/h (5 mph) and the adaptive cruise control is uncertain whether the target object is a stationary vehi- cle or some other object, e.g. a speed bump.
when the speed is below 5 km/h (5 mph) and the vehicle in front turns off so the adap- tive cruise control no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Termination of automatic braking at a standstill In certain situations, queue assistance stops automatic braking at a standstill. This means that the brakes are released and the car may start to roll - the driver must therefore intervene and
brake the car himself/herself in order to maintain its position.
Queue assistance releases the foot brake and sets the adaptive cruise control in standby mode in the following situations:
the driver puts his/her foot on the brake pedal
the parking brake is applied
the gear selector is moved to P, N or R posi- tion
the driver sets the adaptive cruise control in standby mode.
Automatic activation parking brake In certain situations queue assistance applies the parking brake in order to keep the car remaining stationary.
This takes place if:
the driver opens the door or takes off his/her seatbelt
ESC is changed from Normal to Sport mode
Queue assistance has held the car stationary for more than 4 minutes
the engine is switched off
the brakes have overheated.

Distance Warning* (p. 201) Radar sensor - limitations A radar sensor (p. 217) has certain limitations - due to its limited field of vision for example.
The capacity of the adaptive cruise control to detect a vehicle in front is significantly reduced if:
the speed of vehicles in front is significantly different from your own speed
its radar sensor becomes blocked - e.g. in heavy rain or slush, or if other objects have collected in front of the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean - see subheading "Maintenance" (p. 233).
Field of vision The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations another vehicle is not detected, or the detection is made later than expected.

Sometimes the radar sensor is late at detect- ing vehicles at close distances - e.g. a vehicle that drives in between the car and vehicles in front.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehi- cles not driving in the centre of the lane can remain undetected.
In bends the radar sensor may detect the wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehicle from view.
WARNING The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and intervene when the adaptive cruise control is not main- taining a suitable speed or suitable distance.
The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions.
Read all the sections about the adaptive cruise control in the owner's manual in order to learn about its limitations, of which the driver should be aware before it is used.
The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when the adaptive cruise control is being used.
WARNING Accessories or other objects such as auxiliary lamps must not be fitted in front of the grille.
WARNING Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoid- ance system. The driver must intervene if the system does not detect a vehicle in front.
The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and objects.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at junc- tions, 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.

City Safety City Safety is a function for helping the driver to avoid a collision when driving in queues, amongst other things, when changes in the traf- fic ahead, combined with a lapse in attention, could lead to an incident.
The City Safety function is active at speeds below 50 km/h (30 mph) and it helps the driver by automatically braking the car in the event of imminent risk of collision with vehicles in front, should the driver not react in time by braking and/or steering away.
City Safety is activated in situations where the driver should have started braking earlier, which is why it cannot help the driver in every situation.
City Safety is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary inter- vention.
City Safety must not be used as an excuse for the driver to change his/her driving style. If the driver solely relies on City Safety to do the braking, there might be a risk of a collision sooner or later.
The driver or passengers normally only notice City Safety if a situation arises where the car is extremely close to being in a collision.
If the car is also equipped with Collision Warning with Auto Brake (p. 229)* these two systems complement each other.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance and replacement of City Safety components must only be per- formed by a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
WARNING
City Safety does not engage in all driving situations or traffic, weather or road condi- tions.
City Safety does not react to vehicles driv- ing in a different direction from the car, to small vehicles and motorcycles or to humans and animals.
City Safety can prevent collision at a speed difference of less than 15 km/h (9 mph) - at a higher speed difference, it is only possible to reduce collision speed. In order to obtain full brake function, the driver must depress the brake pedal.
Never wait for City Safety to engage. The driver always bears responsibility for maintain- ing the proper distance and speed.

City Safety - function City Safety detects the traffic in front of the car with a laser sensor fitted in the top edge of the windscreen. If there is an imminent risk of colli- sion, City Safety will automatically brake the car, which may be experienced as heavy braking.
Laser sensor transmitter and receiver window13.
If the speed difference is 4-15 km/h (3-9 mph) in relation to the vehicle in front then City Safety can completely avoid a collision.
City Safety activates a short, sharp braking proce- dure and stops the car in normal circumstances, just behind the vehicle in front. For most drivers this is well outside normal driving style and may be experienced as being uncomfortable.
If the difference in speed between the vehicles is greater than 15 km/h (9 mph) then City Safety
may not avoid the collision on its own - to obtain full brake force, the driver must depress the brake pedal and this could then make it possible to avoid a collision, even at speed differences above 15 km/h (9 mph).
When the function is activated and brakes, the combined instrument panel shows a text mes- sage to the effect that the function is/has been active.
NOTE
When City Safety brakes, the brake lights come on.

NOTE
The City Safety function is activated auto- matically when the engine is started.
In certain situations, it may advisable to disable City Safety, e.g. where leafy branches could sweep over the bonnet and/or windscreen.
City Safety handled in the menu system MY CAR (p. 115) and after starting the engine the function can be deactivated as follows:
Search in MY CAR for Driver support system and select the Off option at City Safety.
However, the function will be enabled the next time the engine is started, regardless of whether the system was enabled or disabled when the engine was switched off.

City Safety - limitations The sensor in City Safety is designed to detect cars and other large vehicles in front of the car irrespective of whether it is day or night.
However, the function does have some limita- tions.
The sensor's limitations mean that City Safety has poorer functionality - or none at all - in e.g. heavy snowfall or rain, dense fog, dust storms or white-out situations. Misting, dirt, ice or snow on the windscreen may also disrupt the function.
Low-hanging objects, e.g. a flag/pennant for pro- jecting load, or accessories such as auxiliary lamps and bull bars that are higher than the bon- net limit the function.
The laser beam from the sensor in City Safety measures how the light is reflected. The sensor cannot detect objects with low reflection capacity. The rear sections of the vehicle generally reflect the light sufficiently thanks to the number plate and rear light reflectors.
On slippery road surfaces the braking distance is extended, which may reduce the capacity of City Safety to avoid a collision. In such situations the ABS14 and ESC15 systems will provide best pos- sible braking force with maintained stability.
When your own car is reversing, City Safety is temporarily deactivated.
City Safety is not activated at low speeds - below 4 km/h (3 mph), which is why the system does not intervene in situations where a vehicle in front is being approached very slowly, e.g. when park- ing.
Driver commands are always prioritised, which is why City Safety does not intervene in situations where the driver is steering or accelerating in a clear manner, even if a collision is unavoidable.
When City Safety has prevented a collision with a stationary object the car remains stationary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If the car is braked for a vehicle in front that is moving, then speed is reduced to the same speed as that maintained by the vehicle in front.
On a car with manual gearbox the engine stops when City Safety has stopped the car, unless the driver manages to depress the clutch pedal beforehand.

NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the laser sensor free from ice, snow and dirt (see the illustration for sensor loca- tion (p. 223)).
Do not affix or mount anything on the windscreen in front of the laser sensor.
Remove ice and snow from the bonnet - snow and ice must not exceed a height of 5 cm.
Fault tracing and action If the message Windscreen sensors blocked See manual is shown in the combined instru- ment panel it indicates that the laser sensor is blocked and cannot detect vehicles in front of the car. This means in turn that City Safety is not operational.
The Windscreen sensors blocked See manual message is not shown for all situations in which the laser sensor is blocked. The driver must therefore be diligent about keeping the windscreen and area in front of the laser sensor clean.
The following table presents possible causes for the message being shown, along with sugges- tions for appropriate action.
Cause Action
The windscreen surface in front of the laser sen- sor is dirty or covered with ice or snow.
Clean the wind- screen surface in front of the sensor from dirt, ice and snow.
The laser sensor field of vision is blocked.
Remove the block- ing object.
IMPORTANT
If there are cracks, scratches or stone chips in the windscreen in front of either of the laser sensor's "windows" and they cover a surface of approx. 0.5 x 3.0 mm (or larger), then a workshop must be contacted for replacement of the windscreen (see the illustration for sensor location (p. 223)) - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Failure to take action may result in reduced performance for City Safety.
To avoid the risk of failed, deficient or reduced operation for City Safety, the fol- lowing also applies:
Volvo recommends that you do not repair cracks, scratches or stone chips in the area in front of the laser sensor - instead, the whole windscreen should be replaced.
Before replacing a windscreen, contact an authorised Volvo workshop to verify that the correct windscreen is ordered and fitted.
The same type or Volvo-approved wind- screen wipers must be fitted during replacement.

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 optical instruments.
Testing, repair, removal, adjustment and/or replacement of the laser sensor's spare parts must only be carried out by a qualified workshop - we recommend an authorised Volvo workshop.
To avoid exposure to harmful radiation, do not carry out any readjustments or main- tenance 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.
The laser sensor's connector must be unplugged before removal from the wind- screen.
The laser sensor must be fitted onto the windscreen before the sensor's connec- tor is plugged in.
The laser sensor transmits a laser light when the remote control key is in key position II (p. 81) even if the engine is switched off.

Collision warning system* "Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to assist the driver when there is a risk of colliding with a pedestrian, cyclist or vehicle in front that are sta- tionary or moving in the same direction.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is activated in situa- tions where the driver should have started brak- ing earlier, which is why it cannot help the driver in every situation.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is designed to be acti- vated as late as possible in order to avoid unnec- essary intervention.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" can prevent a collision or reduce collision speed.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" must not be used as an excuse for the driver to change his/her driving style. If the driver solely relies on Collision Warn- ing with Auto Brake to do the braking, there might be a risk of a collision sooner or later.
Two system levels Depending on how the car is equipped, the "Col- lision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and
Pedestrian Detection" function may appear in two variants:
Level 1 The driver is merely warned16 of occurring obsta- cles by means of visual and acoustic signals - no automatic braking intervenes, the driver must himself brake.
Level 2 The driver is warned of occurring obstacles by means of visual and acoustic signals - the car is braked automatically if the driver himself does not act within a reasonable time.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of the internal components of the "Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" must only be performed at a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Audio-visual warning signal in the event of a collision risk.
Radar sensor18
Camera sensor
Collision Warning with Auto Brake executes three steps in the following order:
1. Collision warning
2. Brake support18
3. Auto Brake18
The collision warning system and City Safety (p. 222) complement each other.
1 - Collision warning The driver is first warned of a potentially immi- nent collision.
The collision warning system can detect pedes- trians, cyclists or vehicles that are stationary or moving in the same direction as your car and are located in front of you.
If there is a risk of collision with a pedestrian, cyclist or a vehicle then the driver's attention is attracted with a flashing red warning signal (1) and an acoustic signal.
2 - Brake support18
If the risk of collision has increased further after the collision warning then the brake support is activated.
This means that the brake system is prepared for rapid braking by applying the brakes lightly, which may feel like a slight jolt.
If the brake pedal is depressed sufficiently quickly then full brake function is implemented.
Brake support also reinforces the driver's braking if the system considers that the braking is not sufficient to avoid a collision.
3 - Auto Brake18
The automatic brake function is activated last.
If in this situation the driver has not yet started to take evasive action and the risk of collision is imminent then the automatic braking function is deployed - this takes place irrespective of whether or not the driver brakes. Braking then takes place with full brake force in order to reduce collision speed, or with limited brake force if it is sufficient to avoid a collision. For cyclists, the warning and full brake intervention may come very late or simultaneously.

WARNING The collision warning system does not engage in all driving situations or traffic, weather or road conditions. The collision warning system does not react to vehicles or cyclists driving in another direction to the car or to animals.
Warning only activated in the event of a high risk for collision. This section "Function" and the section "Limitations" inform about limita- tions that the driver must be aware of before using the Collision Warning system with Auto Brake.
Warnings and brake interventions for pedes- trians and cyclists are deactivated at vehicle speeds above 80 km/h (50 mph).
Warnings and brake interventions for pedes- trians and cyclists do not work in darkness and tunnels - not even when streetlights are lit.
The auto-brake function can prevent a colli- sion or reduce collision speed. To ensure full brake performance, the driver should always depress the brake pedal - even when the car auto-brakes.
Never wait for a collision warning. The driver is always responsible that the correct distance and speed are maintained - even when the collision warning system with auto-brake is used.

Collision warning system* - detection of cyclists
The function only "sees" cyclists from behind, who are travelling in the same direction.
Optimum examples of what the system interprets as a cyclist - with clear body and bicycle contours, directly from behind and in the car's centre line.
Optimal performance of the system requires that the system function that detects a cyclist receives as unambiguous information as possible about the body and bicycle contours - this implies the opportunity to identify the bicycle, head, arms, shoulders, legs, upper and lower body combined with a normal human pattern of movement.
If large parts of the cyclist's body or bicycle are not visible to the function's camera then the sys- tem cannot detect a cyclist.
||
DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.232
For the function to be able to detect a cyclist, he/she must be an adult and riding an "adult bicycle".
The bicycle must be equipped with a highly visible and approved19 rearward-facing red reflector, fitted at least 70 cm above the roadway.
The function can only detect cyclists directly from behind and who are travelling in the same direction - not at an angle from behind, not from the side.
Cyclists travelling on the left or right-hand edge of the car's imagined/extended side lines may be detected late or not at all.
The function's capacity to detect cyclists at dusk and dawn is limited - just like the human eye.
The function's capacity to detect cyclists is deactivated when driving in darkness and tunnels - even when streetlights are lit.
For optimum bicycle detection, the City Safety function must be activated, see City Safety (p. 222).
WARNING Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Cyclist Detection is a means of assistance.
The function cannot detect:
all cyclists in all situations and does not see partially obscured cyclists, for exam- ple.
cyclists in clothing that obscures the con- tours of the body or who are approaching from the side.
bicycles that have no rearward-facing red reflector.
bicycles loaded with large objects.
The driver is always responsible that the vehi- cle is driven properly and with a safety dis- tance adapted to the speed.

1. Acoustic and visual warning signal in the event of a collision risk20.
You can select whether the collision warning sys- tem's acoustic and visual warning signals should be switched on or off.
When starting the engine, the setting that was selected when the engine was switched off is obtained automatically.
NOTE
The Brake Support and Auto Brake functions are always enabled - they cannot be deacti- vated.
Settings for the collision warning system are made via the centre console's screen and the menu system MY CAR, see (p. 115).
Light and acoustic signals When the collision warning system's light and acoustic warnings are activated, the warning lamp (no. [1] in previous illustration) is tested each time the engine is started by briefly illuminating the warning lamp's separate points of light.
After starting the engine, both the light and acoustic signals can be switched off:
Search for Collision warning in Driver support system in the menu system MY CAR (p. 115) - and there select to uncheck the function.
Acoustic signal After starting the engine the warning sound can be activated/deactivated separately:
Search for Warning sound in Collision warning in the menu system MY CAR (p. 115) - and there select On or Off.

Set warning distance The warning distance regulates the distance at which the visual and acoustic warnings are deployed.
Search for Warning distance in Collision warning in the menu system MY CAR (p. 115) - and there select Long, Normal or Short.
The warning distance determines the system's sensitivity. Warning distance Long provides an earlier warning. First test with Long and if this setting produces too many warnings, which could be perceived as irritating in certain situations, then change to warning distance Normal.
Only use warning distance Short in exceptional cases, e.g. for dynamic driving.
NOTE
When the adaptive cruise control is in use the warning lamp and warning sound will be used by the cruise control even if the collision warning system is switched off.
The collision warning system warns the driver in the event of a risk of a collision, but the function cannot shorten driver reaction time.
In order for the collision warning system to be effective - always drive with Distance Warning (p. 201) set at time interval 45.
NOTE
Even if the warning distance has been set to Long warnings could be perceived as being late in certain situations, e.g. when there are large differences in speed or if vehicles in front brake heavily.
WARNING No automatic system can guarantee 100 % correct function in all situations. Therefore, never test Collision Warning with Auto Brake by driving at people or vehicles - this may cause severe damage and injury and risk lives.
Checking settings The current settings can be controlled via the centre console's screen and the menu system (p. 115) MY CAR.

Collision warning system* - limitations The function has certain limitations - for example, it is not active until 4 km/h (3 mph).
The collision warning system's visual warning sig- nal (see (1) in the illustration (p. 230)) may be difficult to notice in the event of strong sunlight, reflections, when sunglasses are being worn or if the driver is not looking straight ahead. The warn- ing sound should therefore always be activated.
On slippery road surfaces the braking distance is extended, which may reduce the capacity to avoid a collision. In such situations the ABS and ESC (p. 191) systems will provide best possible brak- ing force with maintained stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal can be temporarily disengaged in the event of high passenger compartment temperature caused by strong sunlight for example. If this occurs then the warning sound is activated even if it is deacti- vated in the menu system.
Warnings may not appear if the distance to the vehicle in front is small or if steer- ing wheel and pedal movements are large, e.g. a very active driving style.
WARNING Warnings and brake interventions could be implemented late or not at all if the traffic sit- uation or external influences mean that the radar or camera sensor cannot detect a pedestrian, a vehicle or a cyclist in front cor- rectly.
The sensor system has a limited range for pedestrians and cyclists22 - the system can give effective warnings and brake interven- tions for them at vehicle speeds up to 50 km/h (30 mph). For stationary or slow- moving vehicles, warnings and brake interven- tions are effective at vehicle speeds up to 70 km/h (43 mph).
Warnings for stationary or slow-moving vehi- cles could be disengaged due to darkness or poor visibility.
Warnings and brake interventions for pedes- trians and cyclists are deactivated at vehicle speeds exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph).
The collision warning system uses the same radar sensors as the Adaptive cruise control (p. 204). Read more about radar sensor limita- tions (p. 217).
If warnings are perceived as being too frequent or disturbing then the warning distance can be reduced (p. 233). This would lead to the system
warning at a later stage, which reduces the total number of warnings.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is temporarily deactivated with reverse gear engaged.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is not acti- vated at low speeds - below 4 km/h (3 mph), which is why the system does not intervene in sit- uations where the car is approaching a vehicle in front very slowly, e.g. when parking.
In situations where the driver demonstrates active, aware driving behaviour, a collision warn- ing may be postponed slightly in order to keep unnecessary warnings to a minimum.
When Auto Brake has prevented a collision with a stationary object the car remains stationary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If the car is braked for a vehicle in front that is moving, then speed is reduced to the same speed as that maintained by the vehicle in front.
On a car with manual gearbox the engine stops when Auto Brake has stopped the car, unless the driver manages to depress the clutch pedal beforehand.

Collision warning system* - camera sensor limitations "Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to assist the driver when there is a risk of colliding with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle in front that are stationary or moving in the same direction.
The function uses the car's camera sensor, which has certain limitations.
The cars camera sensor is also used - as well as by Collision Warning with Auto Brake - by the functions:
Active main beam (p. 94)
Road sign information (p. 244)
Driver Alert Control - DAC (p. 249)
Lane assistance (p. 252)
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the camera sensor free from ice, snow, mist and dirt.
Do not stick or attach anything to the wind- screen in front of the camera sensor as this may reduce effectiveness or cause one or more of the systems dependent on the cam- era to stop working.
The camera sensors have limitations similar to the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in darkness, heavy snowfall or rain and in thick fog for exam- ple. Under such conditions the functions of cam- era-dependent systems could be significantly reduced or temporarily disengaged.
Strong oncoming light, reflections in the carriage- way, snow or ice on the road surface, dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markings could also sig- nificantly reduce camera sensor function when it is used to scan the carriageway and detect pedestrians and other vehicles.
The field of vision of the camera sensor is limited, which is why pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles cannot be detected in some situations, or they are detected later than anticipated.
During very high temperatures the camera is temporarily switched off for about 15 minutes after the engine is started in order to protect camera functionality.
Fault tracing and action If the display shows the message Windscreen sensors blocked See manual then this means that the camera sensor is blocked and cannot detect pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles or road markings in front of the car.
At the same time, this means that - besides Colli- sion Warning with Auto Brake - the following functions will not have full functionality either:
Active main beam
Driver Alert Control
Lane Keeping Aid

The following table presents possible causes for a message being shown along with the appropri- ate action.
Cause Action
The windscreen sur- face in front of the camera is dirty or cov- ered with ice or snow.
Clean the windscreen surface in front of the camera from dirt, ice and snow.

BLIS* BLIS (Blind Spot Information) is a function designed for providing support for the driver when driving in dense traffic on roads with sev- eral lanes in the same direction.
BLIS is a driver's aid intended to provide a warn- ing about:
vehicles in the car's blind spot
rapidly approaching vehicles in the left and right-hand lanes closest to the car.
The BLIS function CTA (p. 242) (Cross Traffic Alert) is a driver's aid intended to provide a warn- ing about:
crossing traffic when the car is reversed.
WARNING BLIS is a supplementary aid and does not work in all situations.
BLIS is no substitute for a safe driving style and the use of rearview and door mirrors.
BLIS can never replace the driver's responsi- bility and attention - it is always the driver's responsibility to change lanes in a safe man- ner.
Overview

BLIS* - operation BLIS (Blind Spot Information) is a function designed for providing support for the driver when driving in dense traffic on roads with sev- eral lanes in the same direction.
Activate/deactivate BLIS BLIS is activated when the engine is started. This is confirmed by the indicator lamps in the door panels flashing once.
Button for activating/deactivating.
The BLIS function can be deactivated/activated by pressing the BLIS button on the centre con- sole.
Some combinations of the selected equipment leave no vacant space for a button in the centre console - in which case the function is handled by the car's menu system MY CAR (p. 115).
When BLIS is deactivated/activated the lamp in the button extinguishes/illuminates and the com- bined instrument panel confirms the change with a text message. The door panel indicator lamps flash once upon activation.
To extinguish the message:
Press the left stalk switch OK button.
or
Wait approx. 5 seconds - the message extin- guishes.
When BLIS operates
Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone for rap- idly approaching vehicle.
The BLIS function is active at speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph).
The system is designed to react when:
the driver's vehicle is overtaken by other vehicles
the driver's vehicle is rapidly caught up by another vehicle.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, the door panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a constant glow. If the driver activates the direction indicator on the same side as the warning in this situation then the BLIS lamp will change from a constant glow to flashing with a more intense light.
WARNING BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
BLIS does not work when the car is being reversed.
Limitations Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can
reduce functionality and make it impossible to provide warnings. BLIS cannot detect haz- ards if it is covered.
Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in the area of the sensors.
BLIS is deactivated when a trailer is con- nected to the car's electrical system.

BLIS - symbols and messages (p. 244)
CTA* The BLIS function CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) is a driver aid intended to warn about crossing traffic when the car is reversing. CTA is a supplement to BLIS (p. 240).
Activate/deactivate CTA CTA is activated when the engine is started. This is confirmed by the indicator lamps for BLIS in the door panels flashing once.
On/Off for parking assistance and CTA sensors.
The CTA function can be deactivated/activated separately with the Parking assistance (p. 261) On/Off button. The BLIS lamps flash once on reactivation.
However, the BLIS function remains activated after the CTA has been deactivated.
WARNING CTA is a supplementary aid and does not work in all situations.
CTA is no substitute for a safe driving style and the use of rearview and door mirrors.
CTA can never replace the driver's responsi- bility and attention - it is always the driver's responsibility to reverse in a safe manner.
When CTA operates
Principle for CTA.
CTA supplements the BLIS function by being able to see crossing traffic from the side during reversing, such as when reversing out of a park- ing space.
CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles. In favourable conditions, it may also be able to
DRIVER SUPPORT
}}
243
detect smaller objects, such as cyclists and pedestrians.
CTA is only active during reversing and is acti- vated automatically when the gearbox's reverse position is selected.
If CTA detects something approaching from the side, an acoustic warning signal sounds. The signal comes from either the left or the right-hand speaker, depending on the direc- tion from which the object is approaching.
CTA also warns by illuminating the BLIS lamps.
An additional warning is provided in the form of an illuminated icon in the display screen's PAS graphics (p. 261).
Limitations CTA does not perform optimally in all situations, but has a certain limitation - for example, the CTA sensors cannot "see" through other parked vehi- cles or obstructing objects.
Here are some examples of when CTA's "field of vision" may be limited from the beginning and approaching vehicles cannot therefore be detected until they are very close:
The car is parked deep inside a parking slot.
Blind CTA sector.
Sector where CTA can detect/"see".
In an angled parking slot CTA can be completely "blind" on one side.
However, when the driver is slowly reversing the car, the angle is changed in relation to the vehi-
cle/object that is blocking, at which the blind sector rapidly decreases.
Examples of further limitations:
Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can reduce functionality and make it impossible to provide warnings. CTA cannot detect haz- ards if it is covered.
CTA is deactivated when a trailer is con- nected to the cars electrical system.
IMPORTANT
Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions' com- ponents or repainting the bumpers must only be performed by a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

The RSI function gives information on current speed, e.g. that a motorway or road is starting/ ending and when overtaking is prohibited.
If both a sign for motorway/road for motorised traffic and a sign showing the maximum permit- ted speed are passed, RSI decides to show the sign symbol for maximum permitted speed.
WARNING RSI does not work in all situations but is designed merely as a supplementary aid.

Together with the symbol for the current speed limit, a sign showing that overtaking is pro- hibited may also be displayed where appropriate.
End of restriction or motorway A corresponding road sign is shown in the com- bined instrument panel for approx. 10 seconds in situations where RSI detects a sign that involves the end of a speed limit - or other speed-related information, e.g. end of a motorway.
Examples of such signs are:
End of all restrictions.
End of motorway.
Following which, the sign information is hidden until the next speed-related sign is detected.
Additional signs
Examples of additional signs25.
Sometimes different speed limits are signposted for the same road - an additional sign then indi- cates the circumstances under which the differ- ent speeds apply. The road section may be par- ticularly susceptible to accidents in rain and/or fog, for example.
An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use.
The speed applicable on an exit is indicated in certain markets by means of an additional sign containing an arrow.
Speed signs linked to this type of additional sign are displayed
only if the driver is using the direction indicator.
Some speeds are applicable only after e.g. a spe- cific distance or at a certain time of day. The driv- er's attention is drawn to the situation by means of a symbol for an additional sign under the sym- bol showing speed.

Driver Alert Control (DAC)* The DAC function is intended to attract the driv- er's attention when he/she starts to drive less consistently, e.g. if he/she becomes distracted or starts to fall asleep.
The objective for DAC is to detect slowly deterio- rating driving ability and it is primarily intended for major roads. The function is not intended for city traffic.
A camera detects the side markings painted on the carriageway and compares the section of the road with the driver's steering wheel movements. The driver is alerted if the vehicle does not follow the carriageway evenly.
In some cases driving ability is not affected despite driver fatigue. In which case there may not be any warning issued for the driver. For this reason it is always important to stop and take a
break in the event of any signs of driver fatigue, irrespective of whether or not DAC issues a warning.
NOTE
The function must not be used to extend a period of driving. Always plan breaks at regu- lar intervals, and make sure you are well rested.
Limitation In some cases the system may issue a warning despite driving ability not deteriorating, for exam- ple:
in strong side winds
on rutted road surfaces.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)* The purpose of Lane Departure Warning (Lane Departure Warning) is to help the driver to reduce the risk of the vehicle accidentally leaving its own lane in certain situations on motorways and similar major routes.
Lane Departure Warning LDW or LKA There are two versions of Lane assistance:
LDW - Lane Departure Warning - alerts the driver with an acoustic signal or vibration in the steering wheel.
LKA - Lane Keeping Aid (Lane Keeping Aid) - steers the car back into its lane and/or alerts the driver with an acoustic signal or vibration in the steering wheel.
The car is supplied with one of these two sys- tems - market and engine alternative determine which of the systems the car is equipped with.
In the event of uncertainty whether the car has LDW or LKA:
Open the menu system MY CAR and locate Driver support system - which specifies Lane Departure Warning if the car has LDW or Lane Keeping Aid for LKA.
Principle for LDW
(The figure is schematic - not model specific.)
A camera reads the side lines of the road/lane.
Warning with steering wheel vibration27.
If the car crosses one of the side lines the driver is alerted with an acoustic signal or vibration in the steering wheel. Steering wheel vibration var- ies - the longer the time for which the car has crossed the side line, the longer the vibration.
NOTE
The driver is only warned once each time the wheels cross a line. So there is no acoustic alarm when there is a line between the car's wheels.
WARNING Lane assistance is merely a driver aid and does not engage in all driving situations or traffic, weather or road conditions.
The driver always bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely and that applicable laws and road traffic regu- lations are followed.

LKA - Lane Keeping Aid (Lane Keeping Aid) - steers the car back into its lane and/or alerts the driver with an acoustic signal or vibration in the steering wheel.
The car is supplied with one of these two sys- tems - market and engine alternative determine which of the systems the car is equipped with.
In the event of uncertainty whether the car has LDW or LKA:
Open the menu system MY CAR and locate Driver support system - which specifies Lane Departure Warning if the car has LDW or Lane Keeping Aid for LKA.
Principle for LKA
(The figure is schematic - not model specific.)
A camera reads the side lines of the road/lane.
If the car is about to cross a side line then Lane Keeping Aid will actively steer the car back into the lane with a slight steering torque in the steer- ing wheel.
If the car reaches or crosses a side line then Lane Keeping Aid will also alert the driver with vibration in the steering wheel.
WARNING Lane assistance is merely a driver aid and does not engage in all driving situations or traffic, weather or road conditions.
The driver always bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely and that applicable laws and road traffic regu- lations are followed.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - function Certain settings can be made for the Lane Keep- ing Aid (Lane Keeping Aid) function.
Off & On Lane Keeping Aid is active within the speed range 65-200 km/h (40-125 mph) on roads with clearly visible side lines. The function is temporar- ily deactivated on narrow roads with less than 2.6 metres between the lane's side lines.
Press the centre console's button to activate or deactivate the function. The button's lamp illumi- nates when the function is switched on.
Some combinations of the selected equipment leave no vacant space for an On/Off button in the centre console - in which case the function is instead handled in the car's menu system MY
CAR. For a description of the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 115).
In addition, the following selections can be made in MY CAR:
Warning with vibration in the steering wheel: Vibration only - On or Off.
Active steering: Steering assist only- On or Off.
Both Warning with vibration in the steering wheel and Active steering: Full function - On or Off.
Active steering Lane Keeping Aid strives to keep the car within the side lines for the lane.
LKA intervenes and steers away.
If the car approaches the left or right side line of the lane and the direction indicator is not acti- vated, the car is steered back into the lane.
Warning with vibration in steering wheel
LKA steers and alerts with steering wheel vibration29.
If the car crosses a side line then Lane Keeping Aid will alert the driver with vibration in the steer- ing wheel30. This occurs regardless of whether the car is actively steered back by applying a slight steering torque.
29 The figure shows 3 vibrations when the side line is crossed. 30 Steering wheel vibration varies - the longer the time for which the car has crossed the side line, the more pulses there are.

Dynamic cornering
LKA does not intervene in sharp inside bends.
In certain cases Lane assistance will allow the car to cross lane lines without engaging active steering or activating a warning. Using an adja- cent lane for cutting a corner when there is a clear line of vision is an example of this.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - operation Lane Keeping Aid (Lane Keeping Aid) is comple- mented in the combined instrument panel with intuitive graphics in different situations. Here are some examples:
NOTE
LKA is temporarily deactivated for as long as the direction indicator is switched on.
LKA "sees" and follows the side lines.
If Lane Keeping Aid is active and detects/"sees" the side lines, the LKA symbol indicates this with WHITE lines.
GREY side line - Lane Keeping Aid does not see a line on that side of the car.
LKA intervenes on the right-hand side.
Lane Keeping Aid intervenes and steers away from the side line - this is indicated with:
RED line for the side in question.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - limitations Lane Keeping Aid (Lane Keeping Aid) camera sensor has limitations in a similar way to the human eye.
For more information, read about camera sensor limitations (p. 236) and see Collision warning system* - operation (p. 233).
NOTE
In certain demanding situations Lane assis- tance may have difficulty assisting the driver in the right way - in which case it is recom- mended to deactivate the function.
Examples of such situations may be:
roadworks
winter road conditions
poor road surface
very sporty driving style
poor weather with reduced visibility.
Hands on the steering wheel In order for Lane Keeping Aid to operate, the driver must have his/her hands on the steering wheel. LKA continually monitors this. If hands are not detected on the steering wheel then a text message is shown, prompting the driver to actively steer the car.
If the driver does not follow the request to begin steering then Lane Keeping Aid goes into
standby mode and will remain in this mode until the driver begins to steer the car again.

Park Assist* Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking. An acoustic signal as well as symbols on the centre console's screen indicate the distance to the detected obstacle.
Parking assistance sound level can be adjusted during the ongoing acoustic signal using the cen- tre console's VOL knob. The sound level can also be adjusted in the audio settings menu, which is accessed by pressing SOUND or in the car's menu system (p. 115) MY CAR31.
Parking assistance is available in two variants:
Rear only
Both front and rear.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's electrical system, the protrusion of the towbar is included when the function measures the parking space.
WARNING
Parking assistance does not relinquish the driver's own responsibility during parking.
The sensors have blind spots where obstacles cannot be detected.
Be aware of e.g. people or animals near the car.

Display screen view - showing an obstacle left front and right rear.
The centre console's display screen shows an overview of the relationship between the car and detected obstacle.
Marked sectors show which of the four sensor(s) detected an obstacle. The closer to the car sym- bol a selected sector box is, the shorter the dis- tance between the car and a detected obstacle.
The frequency of the signal increases the shorter the distance to an obstacle, in front of or behind the car. Other sound from the audio system is muted automatically.
When the distance is within 30 cm the tone is constant and the active sensor's field nearest the car is filled in. If the detected obstacle is within the distance for the constant tone both behind and in front of the car, then the tone sounds alternately from the loudspeakers.
IMPORTANT
Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or low barriers may be in the "signal shadow" and are then temporarily not detected by the sen- sors - the pulsating tone may then unexpect- edly stop instead of changing over to the expected constant tone.
The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as projecting loading docks.
In such situations, pay extra attention and manoeuvre/reposition the car particularly slowly or stop the current parking manoeuvre - there may be a high risk of damage to vehicles or other objects since information from the sensors is not always reliable in such situations.

The distance covered to the rear of the car is about 1.5 metres. The acoustic signal for obsta- cles behind comes from one of the rear loud- speakers.
Rear parking assistance is activated when reverse gear is engaged.
When reversing with e.g. a trailer on the towbar, rear parking assistance is switched off automati- cally - otherwise the sensors would react to the trailer.
DRIVER SUPPORT

The parking assistance system is automatically activated when the engine is started - the switch's On/Off lamp is illuminated. If parking assistance is switched off with the button, the lamp goes out.
The distance covered in front of the car is about 0.8 metres. The acoustic signal for obstacles in front comes from one of the front loudspeakers.
The front parking assistance system is active up to 10 km/h (6 mph).
If the Parking Assistance System is deactivated because the car is moving too quickly - 11 km/h
(7 mph) or above - the function is reactivated when the speed falls below 10 km/h (6 mph).
NOTE
Parking assistance is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or P mode is selected in a car with an automatic gearbox.

Park assist camera* Parking camera is an auxiliary system, which is activated when the reverse gear is selected.
The camera image is shown on the centre con- sole's screen.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's electrical system, the protrusion of the towbar is included when the function measures the parking space.
WARNING
The parking camera serves as an aid. It does not relieve the driver of responsibil- ity when reversing.
The camera has blind spots, where obsta- cles cannot be detected.
Be aware of people and animals in the vicinity of the car.
Function and operation
Camera location next to the opening handle.
The camera shows what is behind the car and if something appears from the sides.
The camera shows a wide area behind the car and part of the bumper and any towbar.
Objects on the screen may appear to tilt slightly - this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the display screen may be closer to the car than they appear to be on the screen.
If another view is active then the parking camera system takes over automatically and its camera image is displayed on the screen.
When reverse gear is selected, two unbroken lines are shown graphically which illustrate where the car's rear wheels will roll with the current steering wheel angle - this facilitates parallel parking, reversing into tight spaces and for hitch- ing a trailer. The car's approximate external dimensions are illustrated by means of dashed lines. The park assist lines can be deactivated - see section Settings (p. 267).
If the car is also equipped with Parking assis- tance sensors (p. 261)* then their information is shown graphically as coloured areas in order to illustrate distances to detected obstacles, see heading "Cars with reversing sensors" later in the text.
The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after reverse gear has been disengaged or until the car's speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph) forward or 35 km/h (22 mph) backward.
Light conditions The camera image is adjusted automatically according to prevailing light conditions. Because of this, the image may vary slightly in brightness and quality. Poor light conditions can result in a slightly reduced image quality.
NOTE
Keep the camera lens clear of dirt, snow and ice to ensure optimum function. This is partic- ularly important in poor light.

Park assist lines
Examples of how the park assist lines can be displayed for the driver.
The lines on the screen are projected as if they were at ground level behind the car and are directly related to steering wheel movement, which shows the driver the path the car will then take - also when the car is turning.
NOTE
When reversing with a trailer which is not connected electrically to the car, the lines on the display show the route the car will take - not the trailer.
The screen shows no lines when a trailer is connected electrically to the car's elec- trical system.
The parking camera is deactivated auto- matically when towing a trailer if a Volvo genuine trailer cable is used.
IMPORTANT
Remember, that with the rear camera view selected, the monitor only displays the area behind the car. Be aware of the sides and front of the car when manoeuvring in reverse.
Boundary lines

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - function
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and steers the car - the driver's task is to:
keep a close watch around the car
follow the instructions in the combined instrument panel
change gear (reverse/forward)
control and maintain a safe speed
brake and stop.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria are met once the engine has been started:
The functions ABS32 or ESC33 must not intervene when the PAP function is activated - these can be activated in the event of e.g. steep and slippery surfaces, see the sections on Foot brake and Stability system ESC (p. 191) for more information.
A trailer must not be connected to the car.
Speed must be lower than 50 km/h (30 mph).
Principle for PAP.
The PAP function parks the car using the follow- ing steps:
1. The function searches for a parking space and measures it - during measurement, speed must not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph).
2. The car is steered into the space during reversing.
3. The car is positioned in the space by means of driving forward/backward.

NOTE
Remember that certain steering wheel posi- tions may obstruct the combined instrument panel's instructions when you turn it during the parking manoeuvre.
1 - Searching and checking measurements
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and steers the car - the driver's task is to:
keep a close watch around the car
follow the instructions in the combined instrument panel
change gear (reverse/forward)
control and maintain a safe speed
brake and stop.
NOTE
The distance between the car and parking spaces should be 0.5-1.5 metres while PAP is searching for a parking space.
The PAP function searches for a parking space and checks whether it is big enough. Proceed as follows:
1. Activate PAP by pressing this button and do not drive faster than 30 km/h (20 mph).
2. Keep an eye on the combined instrument panel and be prepared to stop the car when the graphics and text so request.
3. Stop the car when the graphics and text so request.
NOTE
PAP searches the area for parking, displays instructions and guides the car in on its pas- senger side. But if required the car can also be parked on the driver's side of the street:
Activate the direction indicator to the driver's side - then the system searches for a parking space on that side of the car instead.
2 - Reversing in
During the Reversing step, PAP will steer the car into the parking space. Proceed as follows:
DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory. 271
1. Check that the area behind the car is clear, then engage reverse gear.
2. Reverse slowly and carefully without touching the steering wheel - and no faster than 7 km/h (4 mph).
3. Keep an eye on the combined instrument panel and be prepared to stop the car when the graphics and text so request.
NOTE
Keep your hands away from the steering wheel when the PAP function is acti- vated.
Make sure that the steering wheel is not hindered in any way and can rotate freely.
To achieve optimum results - wait until the steering wheel is fully turned before starting to drive backward/forward.
3 - Positioning
When the car has reversed into the parking space, it must be straightened up and positioned.
1. Engage first gear or D position, wait until the steering wheel has been turned, then drive slowly forwards.
2. Stop the car when the graphics and text message so request.
3. Engage reverse gear and drive backwards slowly until the graphics and text message tell you to stop.
The function is deactivated automatically and the graphics and message show that parking is com- plete. It may be necessary for the driver to correct the positioning. Only the driver can determine whether the car is properly parked.
IMPORTANT
The warning distance is shorter when the sensors are used by PAP compared with when Park Assist uses the sensors.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - limitations
The PAP sequence is stopped:
if the car is driven too quickly - above 7 km/h (4 mph)
if the driver touches the steering wheel
if the ABS34 or ESC35 function is engaged - e.g. if a wheel loses grip on a slippery road surface.
A text message indicates where the PAP sequence was stopped.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors will reduce their function and may prevent meas- urement.
IMPORTANT
Under certain circumstances, PAP is unable to find parking spaces - one reason for this may be the fact that there is interference with the sensors from external sound sources which emit the same ultrasound frequencies as those with which the system works.
Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.
To bear in mind The driver should bear in mind that the Park Assist Pilot is an aid not an infallible, fully-auto- matic function. The driver must therefore be pre- pared to intervene. There are also a few details to bear in mind while parking, e.g.:
PAP starts out from the current location of the parked vehicles - if they are inappropri- ately parked then the car's tyres and wheel rims may be damaged against kerbs.
PAP is designed for parking on straight streets, not sharp curves or bends. For this reason, make sure the car is parallel to the parking space when PAP measures the space.
It is not always possible to find parking spaces on narrow streets since there is not enough space for manoeuvring. In such park- ing situations, it helps the system to drive as close to the side of the road as possible where you intend to park.
Bear in mind that the front of the car may swing out towards oncoming traffic while being parked.
Objects situated higher than the detection areas of the sensors are not included when calculations are made for the parking manoeuvre. This may cause PAP to swing into the parking space too early, and hence such parking spaces should be avoided.
The driver is responsible for determining whether the space selected by PAP is suita- ble for parking.
Use approved tyres36 with the correct tyre pressure - this affects PAP's ability to park the car.
Heavy rain or snow may cause the system to measure the parking space incorrectly.
Do not use PAP if snow chains or a spare wheel are fitted.
Do not use PAP if loaded objects are pro- truding from the car.

* Option/accessory. 273
IMPORTANT
Changing to another approved wheel rim and/or tyre dimension may involve a changed tyre circumference, which means that the PAP system's parameters may then need to be updated. Consult a workshop - an author- ised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Maintenance
The PAP sensors are located in the bumpers37 - 6 front and 4 rear.
For the PAP function to work correctly, its sen- sors must be cleaned regularly with water and car shampoo.

NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types during cold starting. This is done in order that the emissions system can reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which minimises exhaust emissions and protects the environment.
Keyless starting (Keyless drive)* Follow steps 2-3 for keyless (p. 173) starting of the engine.
NOTE
A prerequisite for the engine to start is that one of the car's remote control keys with the keyless start and lock function is in the pas- senger compartment or cargo area.
WARNING Never remove the remote control key from the car while driving or during towing.

Remote start (ERS)* Remote start (ERS Engine Remote Start) means that the car's engine can be started remotely in order to be able to warm up/cool down the passenger compartment before depar- ture. Remote start is activated via key and/or via Volvo On Call*.
The climate control system starts on automatic settings. A remote-started engine is activated for a maximum of 15 minutes, then it is switched off. After two activations of remote start, the engine must be started in the normal way before remote start can be used again.
Engine remote start is only available in cars with automatic gearbox and cars that have a bonnet switch3 installed.
NOTE
The service life of the remote control key's battery is affected by the remote start func- tion. In the event of frequent use of remote start, the battery should therefore be changed once per year, see Remote control key - replacing the battery (p. 172).
2 In cars with keyless start and lock system it is enough to have a remote control key inside the passenger compartment. 3 Available in the XC60, cars with alarm, most cars with 4-cylinder engines or if ERS is selected for new construction.

Jump starting with another battery If the starter battery (p. 377) is discharged then the car can be started with current from another battery.
When jump starting the car, the following steps are recommended to avoid short circuits or other damage:
1. Set the car's electrical system in key position 0, see Key positions - functions at different levels (p. 81).
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 bat- tery in your car and remove the cover, see Starter battery - replacement (p. 379).
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp onto the car's positive terminal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's clamps to the donor battery's negative terminal (3).
8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting at the top, the outer screw head (4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are affixed securely so that there are no sparks during the starting attempt.
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 connections between cable and car during the starting attempt. 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 connected 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 imme- diately.

Gear shift indicator* The gear shift indicator notifies the driver when it is appropriate to engage the next higher or lower gear.
An essential detail in connection with environ- mental driving is to drive in the right gear and to change gear in good time.
An indicator is available as an aid on certain vari- ants - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) - which notifies the driver when it is appropriate to engage the next higher or lower gear in order to obtain the lowest possible fuel consumption.
However, taking into consideration characteristics such as performance and vibration-free running, it may be advantageous to change gear at a higher engine speed. The framed number indi- cates the current gear.
Manual gearbox Gear shift indicator for manual gearbox. Only one marker is illuminated at a time - during normal driving it is only illumi- nated in the centre.
At the recommended upshift the cursor illuminates "+", and at the recom- mended downshift the cursor illuminates "-" (marked red in the illustration).

Automatic gearbox - Geartronic* The Geartronic gearbox has two different gear modes - Automatic and Manual.
D: Automatic gear positions. +/: Manual gear positions. S: Sport mode*.
Combined instrument panel (p. 66) shows the position of the gear selector using the following indications: P, R, N, D, S*, 1, 2, 3 etc.
Gear positions Automatic gear positions are indicated on the right of the combined instrument panel. (Only one marker is illuminated at a time - the one showing the current gear selector position.)
Symbol "S" for Sport mode is ORANGE when the mode is active.
Parking position - P Select P position when starting the engine or when the car is parked.
In order to be able to move the gear selector from the P position, the brake pedal must be depressed and key position must be II, see Key positions - functions at different levels (p. 81).
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P position is engaged. Also apply the parking brake (p. 303) when the car is parked.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in P position to allow the car to be locked and alarmed.
IMPORTANT
The car must be stationary when position P is selected.
WARNING Always apply the parking brake when parking on a slope - the automatic transmission's P position is not sufficient to hold the car in all situation.
Reverse position - R The car must be stationary when R position is selected.
Neutral position - N No gear is engaged and the engine can be started. Apply the parking brake if the car is sta- tionary with the gear selector in N position.
In order to be able to move the gear selector from N to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and key position must be II, see Key positions - functions at different levels (p. 81).
Drive position - D D is the normal driving position. Shifting up and down takes place automatically based on the level of acceleration and speed. The car must be stationary when the gear selector is moved to D position from R position.
Geartronic Manual gear positions (+S-) The driver can also change gear manually using the Geartronic automatic gearbox. The car engine-brakes when the accelerator pedal is released.
The manual gear position is reached by moving the lever to the side from posi- tion D to the end position at "+S-". The combined instrument panel's symbol
"+S-" changes colour from WHITE to ORANGE and the digits 1, 2, 3 etc. are shown in a box, cor- responding to the gear selected at the time.
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 "+S" can be selected at any time while driving.
Geartronic automatically shifts down if the driver allows the speed to decrease lower than a level suitable for the selected gear, in order to avoid jerking and stalling.
To return to automatic driving mode:
Move the lever to the side to the end position at D.
NOTE
If the gearbox has a Sport programme then the gearbox will only become manual after the gear selector has been moved forwards or backwards in its "+S" position. The com- bined instrument panel then changes indica- tion from S to show which of the gears 1, 2, 3 etc. is engaged.
Paddles* As a supplement to manual gear changing with the gear selector there are also controls located on the steering wheel, so-called "paddles".
To be able to change gear with the steering wheel paddles they must first be activated. This is by means of pulling one of the paddles toward the steering wheel - the combined instrument panel then changes indication from "D" to a fig- ure, which indicates the current gear.
To then change gear one step:
Pull one of the paddles backwards - towards the steering wheel - and release.
Both steering wheel "paddles".
"-": Selects the next lower gear.
"+": Selects the next higher gear.
A gear change occurs at each pull of the paddle provided that the engine speed does not leave the permitted range.
After each gear change the combined instrument panel changes figure to show the current gear.
NOTE
Automatic deactivation
If the steering wheel paddles are not used then they are deactivated after a short time - this is indicated when the combined instru- ment panel switches indication, from the fig- ure for the current gear back to "D".
The exception is during engine braking - then the paddles are activated as long as engine braking is in progress.
Manual deactivation
The steering wheel paddle shifters can also be deactivated manually:
Pull both paddles toward the steering wheel and hold until the combined instru- ment panel changes character from the figure for the current gear to "D".
The paddles can also be used with the gear selector in Sport mode* - then the paddles are constantly activated without being deactivated.

Geartronic - Sport mode* (S)7
The Sport programme provides sportier characteristics and allows higher engine speed for the gears. At the same time it responds more quickly to
acceleration. During active driving, the use of a lower gear is prioritised, leading to a delayed upshift.
To activate Sport mode:
Move the gear selector to the side from D position to the end position at "+S" - the combined instrument panel changes 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 selector from D position to the end position at "+S" - the combined instrument panel changes indication from D to the figure 18.
2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the lever for- ward 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 acceleration is needed, such as for overtaking.
Safety function
To prevent over-revving the engine, the transmis- sion's control program has a protective downshift inhibitor, which prevents the kick-down function.
Geartronic does not permit downshifting/kick- down which would result in an engine speed high enough to damage the engine. Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shift down in this way at high engine speed the original gear remains engaged.
When kick-down is activated the car can change one or more gears at a time depending on engine speed. The car changes up when the
engine reaches its maximum speed in order to prevent damage to the engine.

M: Manual shifting9 - "+/-" or "Sport mode".
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 inhib- itor button on the gear selector.
With the inhibitor button depressed the lever can be moved forwards or backwards between P, R, N and D.
Automatic gear selector inhibitor The automatic gearbox has special safety sys- tems:
Parking position (P) Stationary car with engine running:
Keep your foot on the brake pedal when moving the gear selector to another position.
Electric gear inhibitor Shiftlock Parking position (P) In order to be able to move the gear selector from P to other gear positions, the brake pedal must be depressed and the key position (p. 81) must be II.
Shiftlock Neutral (N) If the gear selector is in N position and the car has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irre- spective of whether the engine is running) then the gear selector is locked.
In order to be able to move the gear selector from the N position to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the key posi- tion (p. 81) must be II.
Deactivate automatic gear selector inhibitor
If the car cannot be driven, e.g. due to a flat starter battery, the gear selector must be moved from the P position so that the car can be moved.
Lift the rubber mat in the compartment behind the centre console and locate a hole10 for the key blade (p. 169) in the bot- tom of the compartment.
Search for a spring-loaded button down in the hole with the key blade; depress the but- ton with the blade and hold.

Hill start assist (HSA)*11
The foot brake can be released before setting off or reversing uphill - the HSA (Hill Start Assist) function means that the car does not roll backwards.
The function means that the pedal pressure in the brake system remains for several seconds while the driver's foot is moved from brake pedal to accelerator pedal.
The temporary braking effect releases after sev- eral seconds or when the driver accelerates.

All-wheel drive - (AWD)* Optimal traction is achieved with all-wheel drive.
All Wheel Drive is always available
All Wheel Drive (All Wheel Drive) means that the car is driving all four wheels at the same time.
The power is automatically distributed between the front and rear wheels. An electronically con- trolled 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 condi- tions, the majority of power is transmitted to the front wheels.
All Wheel Drive improves driving safety in rain, snow and icy conditions.

Related information Hill Descent Control (HDC)* (p. 289)
Hill Descent Control (HDC)*12
HDC can be compared to an automatic engine brake. When you release the accelerator on downhill gradients the car is normally braked by means of the engine striving for low engine idling speeds, so-called engine braking. But the steeper the roadway and the more load in the car, the faster the car coasts despite engine braking - the HDC function compensates for this with automatic brake intervention.
General information on HDC HDC makes it possible to increase/reduce speed on steep downhill gradients, with a foot only on the accelerator pedal, without using the foot brake. The sensitivity of the accelerator pedal decreases and becomes more precise by means of the full actuation of the pedal being restricted to adjusting engine speed within a limited range. The brake system brakes itself and provides the car with a low and even speed, so allowing the driver to fully focus on steering.
HDC is particularly helpful on steep gradients with an uneven road surface and slippery sec- tions. E.g. when launching a boat on a trailer from a ramp.
WARNING HDC does not work in all situations but is designed merely as a supplementary aid.
The driver always bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely.
Function
HDC On/Off.
HDC is activated or deactivated with one of the centre console's switches. The lamp within it illu- minates when the function is activated.
When HDC is operating, the combined instrument panel's symbol illuminates
combined with the text message Hill descent control ON.

With manual transmission, the function works only on first gear and reverse gear.
With automatic transmission, gear 1 must be selected in manual gearshift mode (+S-), or R must be selected. This is indicated by the number 1 or R in the combined instrument panel, see Automatic gearbox - Geartronic* (p. 284).
NOTE
HDC cannot be activated on an automatic gearbox when the gear selector is in position D.
Operation HDC allows the car to roll at a maximum of 10 km/h (6 mph) forwards with engine braking and 7 km/h (4 mph) backwards. However, any speed within the gear's speed register can be selected using the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the car is braked quickly to 10 or 7 km/h (6 or 4 mph) respec- tively, irrespective of the hill's gradient and with- out the need for the foot brake.
The brake lights come on automatically when the function is operating. The driver can brake or stop the car at any time by using the foot brake.
HDC is deactivated:
with the centre console's On/Off button
if a gear other than 1 or R is selected on a manual gearbox
if a gear other than 1 or R is selected in manual gearshift mode on an automatic gearbox.
The function can be disengaged at any time. If it takes place on a steep downhill gradient then the braking effect will not release directly, but slowly instead.
NOTE
With HDC activated you may experience a delay between acceleration pedal activation and engine response.

Drive mode ECO* ECO is an innovative Volvo function for auto- matic-gearbox cars, capable of reducing fuel consumption by up to 5 %, depending on the driver's driving style. The function gives the driver the option of a more active environmentally con- scious way of driving.
General The following are changed upon activation of the ECO function:
Gearbox gearshift points.
Engine management and response from the accelerator pedal.
Start/Stop function - the engine can also auto-stop before the car has stopped down to being completely stationary.
The Eco Coast function is activated - engine braking ceases.
Climate control system settings - some elec- tricity consumers are deactivated or operate at reduced power.
NOTE
When the ECO function is activated, several parameters in the climate control system's settings are changed, and several electricity consumer functions are reduced. Certain set- tings can be reset manually, but full function- ality is only restored by deactivating the ECO function.
ECO - Operation
ECO On/Off
ECO symbol
The ECO function is deactivated when the engine is switched off, and must therefore be activated after each time the engine is started. There are exceptions for certain engines. However, it is easily verified by means of both the combined instrument panel ECO symbol and the ECO
button lamp illuminating when the function is activated.
ECO function On or Off Disengaged ECO function is indicated by the combined instrument panel ECO symbol and the ECO button lamp extin- guishing. The function is then switched off until it is reactiva- ted with the ECO button.
Eco Coast - Function The Eco Coast subfunction means in practice that engine braking is deactivated, meaning in turn that the car's kinetic energy is used to coast for longer distances. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal the gearbox is automatically disengaged from the engine whose speed is reduced to idling speed with minimum consump- tion.
This function is intended for use in the event of an anticipated reduction in speed, e.g. to coast into a zone with a lower speed limit.
Eco Coast enables proactive driving where the driver can use the so-called "Pulse & Glide" technique and a minimum of braking.
A combination of Eco Coast and temporarily deactivated ECO function can also collectively contribute to reduced consumption. Accordingly:
STARTING AND DRIVING
299
Active Eco Coast: Long coasting without engine braking = Low consumption
and
Deactivated ECO function: Short coasting with engine braking = Minimum consump- tion.
NOTE
However, to achieve optimal low fuel con- sumption, Eco Coast in combination with short coasting distances should generally be avoided.
Activating Eco Coast The function is activated when the accelerator pedal is fully released, in combination with the following parameters:
ECO button activated
Gear selector in D position
Speed within the range of approx. 65-140 km/h (40-87 mph)
The road's downhill gradient is not steeper than approx. 6%.
Deactivate Eco Coast In certain situations it may be desirable to deacti- vate the Eco Coast function. Examples of such situations include:
on steep downhill gradients - to be able to use engine braking.
before an imminent overtaking manoeuvre - in order to be able to complete it in the saf- est possible way.
Deactivating Eco Coast and returning to engine braking can be performed as follows:
Press the ECO button.
Move the gear lever to manual "S+/-" posi- tion.
Change gear with the steering wheel paddle shifters.
Actuate the accelerator or brake pedal.
Eco Coast - Limitations The function is not available if:
cruise control is activated
the road's downhill gradient is steeper than approx. 6%
manual gear changing is performed with the steering wheel paddle shifters*
engine and/or gearbox are not at normal operating temperature
the gear selector is moved from D- to "S+/-" position
speed is outside the range of approx. 65-140 km/h (40-87 mph)

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.300
Foot brake The foot brake is used to reduce the car's speed while driving.
The car is equipped with two brake circuits for safety reasons. If a brake circuit is damaged then the brake pedal will engage deeper and a higher 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 foot brake is used when the engine is switched off then the pedal will feel stiff and a higher pedal pressure must be used to brake the car.
For cars with the Hill start assist (HSA)* (p. 288)* function, the pedal returns more slowly than usual to normal position if the car is parked on a gradient or on an uneven surface.
In very hilly terrain or when driving with a heavy load the brakes can be relieved by using engine braking. Engine braking is most efficiently used if the same gear is used downhill as up.
For more general information on heavy loads on the car, see Engine oil - adverse driving condi- tions (p. 413).
Braking on wet roads When driving for a long time in heavy rain without braking, the braking effect may be delayed slightly when next using the brakes. This may also be the case after a car wash. It is then nec- essary to depress the brake harder. For this rea- son, maintain a greater distance to the traffic ahead.
Brake the car firmly after driving on wet roads and after a car wash. The brake discs are then warmed up, dry more quickly and are protected against corrosion. Take the prevailing traffic sit- uation into account when braking.
Braking on salted roads When driving on salted roads a layer of salt may form on the brake discs and brake linings. This may extend braking distance. For this reason, keep an extra-large safety distance to the vehicle ahead. Also make sure of the following:
Brake occasionally to remove any layer of salt. Make sure that other road users are not put at risk by the braking.
Gently depress the brake pedal when driving is finished and before the next journey starts.
Maintenance To keep the car as safe and reliable as possible, follow the Volvo service intervals as specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet.
New and replaced brake linings and brake discs do not provide optimal braking effect until they have been "worn in" a few hundred kilometres. Compensate for the reduced braking effect by depressing the brake pedal harder. Volvo recom- mends only fitting brake linings that are approved for your Volvo.
IMPORTANT
The wear on the brake system's components must be checked regularly.
Contact a workshop for information about the procedure or engage a workshop to carry out the inspection - an authorised Volvo work- shop is recommended.

Foot brake - anti-lock braking system The anti-lock braking system, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), prevents the wheels from lock- ing up during braking.
The function allows the steering ability to be maintained, and it is easier to swerve to avoid a hazard for example. Vibration may be felt in the brake pedal when this is engaged and this is nor- mal.
A short test of the ABS system is made automat- ically after the engine has been started when the driver releases the brake pedal. A further auto- matic test of the ABS system may be made at low speed. The test may be experienced as pul- ses in the brake pedal.

Foot brake - emergency brake lights and automatic hazard warning flashers Emergency brake lights are activated to alert vehicles behind about heavy braking. The func- tion 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 (31 mph) in the event of heavy braking. After the car's speed has been slowed down to below 10 km/h (6 mph) the brake light returns from flashing to the normal constant glow - while at the same time the car's hazard warning lights (p. 98) are activated. These flash until the driver accelerates the car to a higher speed again or switches off the hazard warning lights.

EBA detects the driver's braking style and increa- ses the braking force when necessary. The brake force can be reinforced 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 The parking brake prevents the car from rolling away from stationary by means of mechanically locking/blocking two wheels.
Function A faint electric motor noise can be heard when the electrically-controlled parking brake is being applied. The noise can also be heard during the automatic function checking of the parking brake.
If the car is stationary when the parking brake is applied then it only acts on the rear wheels. If it is applied when the car is moving then the normal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake acts on all four wheels. Brake function changes over to the rear wheels when the car is almost stationary.
Low battery voltage If the battery voltage is too low then the parking brake can neither be released nor applied. Con- nect a donor battery if the battery voltage is too low, see Jump starting with another battery (p. 281).
Applying the parking brake
Parking brake control - apply.
1. Depress the foot brake pedal firmly.
2. Press the parking brake control.
> The combined instrument panel's symbol starts flashing - once there is a constant glow the parking brake 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 selec- tor in position P (for automatic gearbox).
Emergency brake In an emergency the parking brake can be applied when the vehicle is in motion by pressing and holding the parking brake control. The brak-
ing procedure is stopped when the control is released.
NOTE
An acoustic signal sounds while emergency braking is active at high speeds.
Parking on a hill If the car is parked facing uphill:
Turn the wheels away from the kerb.
If the car is parked facing downhill:
Turn the wheels towards the kerb.
WARNING Always apply the parking brake when parking on a slope - leaving the car in gear, or in P if it has automatic transmission, is not sufficient to hold the car in all situation.

Driving in water Driving in water means that the car is driven through deep water on a water-covered road- way. Fording must be carried out with great cau- tion.
The car can be driven through water at a maxi- mum depth of 25 cm (30 cm with V60 Cross Country) at a maximum speed of walking pace. Extra caution must be exercised when passing through flowing water.
During driving in water, maintain a low speed and do not stop the car. When the water has been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly and check that full brake function is achieved. Water and mud for example can make the brake linings wet resulting in delayed brake function.
If necessary, clean the contacts for the elec- tric heater and trailer coupling after driving in water and mud.
Do not let the car stand with water over the sills for any long period of time - this could cause electrical malfunctions.
IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter.
In depths greater than 25 cm (30 cm with V60 Cross Country), water could enter the transmission. This reduces the lubricating ability of the oils and shortens the service life of these systems.
Damage to any component, engine, transmis- sion, turbocharger, differential or its internal components caused by flooding, hydrostatic locking or oil shortage, is not covered by the warranty.
In the event of the engine stalling in water, do not try restart - tow the car from the water to a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. Risk of engine breakdown.
Related information Recovery (p. 326)
Towing (p. 324)
Overheating Under special conditions, for example hard driv- ing in hilly terrain and hot climate, there is a risk that the engine and drive system may overheat - in particular with a heavy load.
For information about overheating when driving with a trailer, see Driving with a trailer* (p. 317).
Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille when driving in hot climates.
If the temperature in the engine's cooling system is too high then a warning symbol is illuminated in the combined instrument pan- el's information display and a text message High engine temperature Stop safely is shown there - stop the car in a safe way and allow the engine to run at idling speed for several minutes in order to cool down.
If the text message High engine temperature Turn off engine or Engine coolant level low Stop safely is shown then the engine must be switched off after stopping the car.
In the event of overheating in the gearbox a built-in protection function is activated which, amongst other things, illuminates a warning symbol in the combined instrument panel, and its display shows the text message Transmission hot Reduce speed or Transmission hot Stop safely Wait for cooling - follow the recommendation given and lower the speed and stop the car in a

safe way and allow the engine to run at idling speed for a few minutes in order to allow the gearbox to cool down.
If the car overheats, the air conditioning may be switched off temporarily.
Do not turn the engine off immediately you stop after a hard drive.
NOTE
It is normal for the engine's cooling fan to operate for a time after the engine has been switched off.
Driving with open tailgate/boot lid When driving with the tailgate open, toxic exhaust fumes can be sucked into the car through the cargo area.
WARNING Do not drive with an open tailgate! Toxic exhaust fumes could be drawn into the car through the cargo area.
Related information Loading (p. 154)
Overload - starter battery The electrical functions in the car load the starter battery (p. 377) to varying degrees. Avoid using the key position II (p. 81) when the car is switched off. Instead use position I - which uses less power.
Also, be aware of different accessories that load the electrical system. Do not use functions which use a lot of power when the car is switched off. Examples of such functions are:
ventilation fan
headlamps
windscreen wiper
audio system (high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low then the com- bined instrument panel's information display shows the text Low battery charge Power save mode. The energy-saving function then shuts down certain functions or reduces certain functions such as the ventilation fan and/or audio system.
In which case, charge the starter battery by starting the car and then running it for at least 15 minutes - starter battery charging is more effective during driving than running the engine at idling speed while stationary.
STARTING AND DRIVING
309
Before a long journey Before a long journey, it makes good sense to go through the following points:
Check that the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption (p. 422) is nor- mal.
Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid).
Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths.
Carrying a warning triangle (p. 341) is a legal requirement in certain countries.
Related information Engine oil - checking and filling (p. 360)
Changing wheels - removing wheels (p. 337)
Lamp replacement - general (p. 365)
Winter driving For winter driving it is important to perform cer- tain checks in order to ensure that the car can be driven safely.
Check the following in particular before the cold season:
The engine coolant (p. 362) must contain 50% glycol. This mixture protects the engine against frost erosion down to approximately 35 C. To avoid health risks, different types of glycol must not be mixed.
The fuel tank must be kept filled to prevent condensation.
Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils with lower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate starting in cold weather and also reduce fuel con- sumption while the engine is cold. For more information on suitable oils, see Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p. 413).
IMPORTANT
Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard driving or in hot weather.
The condition of the starter battery and charge level must be inspected. Cold weather places great demands on the starter
battery and its capacity is reduced by the cold.
Use washer fluid (p. 376) to avoid ice form- ing in the washer fluid reservoir.
To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo recom- mends using winter tyres on all wheels if there is a risk of snow or ice.
NOTE
The use of winter tyres is a legal requirement in certain countries. Studded tyres are not permitted in all countries.
Slippery driving conditions Practise driving on slippery surfaces under con- trolled conditions to learn how the car reacts.

Fuel - handling Fuel of a lower quality than that recommended by Volvo must not be used as engine power and fuel consumption is negatively affected.
WARNING Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and getting fuel splashes in the eyes.
In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove any contact lenses and rinse the eyes in plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medi- cal attention.
Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol, bioe- thanol and mixtures of them and diesel are highly toxic and could cause permanent injury or be fatal if swallowed. Seek medical atten- tion immediately if fuel has been swallowed.
WARNING Fuel which spills onto the ground can be igni- ted.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before star- ting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone when refuelling. The ring signal could cause spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes, leading to fire and injury.
IMPORTANT
Mixtures of various fuel types or use of fuels which are not recommended will invalidate Volvo's guarantees and any supplementary service agreements; this is applicable to all engines.
NOTE

Fuel - diesel Diesel is a type of engine fuel that is intended for cars with a diesel engine.
Only use diesel fuel from well-known producers. Never use fuel of dubious quality. Diesel fuel must fulfil the EN 590 or SS 155435 standard. Diesel engines are sensitive to contaminants in the fuel, such as excessively high volumes of sul- phur and metals.
Identifier The identifier17 is located on the inside of the fuel filler flap, and will soon (within two years) be on corresponding fuel pumps and their nozzles at filling stations throughout Europe.
This is the identifier that applies for current standard fuel in Europe. Diesel with the following identifiers may be used in cars with diesel engine:
B7 is diesel with maximum 7 volume % fatty acid methyl ester (FAME).
At low temperatures (lower than 0 C) a paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel, which may
lead to ignition problems. The fuel qualities that are sold must be adapted for season and climate zone, but in the event of extreme weather condi- tions, old fuel or moving between climate zones, paraffin precipitate may occur.
The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is reduced if the tank is kept well filled. When refu- elling, check that the area around the fuel filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the paint- work. Wash off any spillage with detergent and water.
IMPORTANT
Diesel fuel must:
fulfil the EN 590 and/or SS 155435 standards
have a sulphur content not exceeding 10 mg/kg
have a maximum of 7 vol % FAME18
(B7).
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels that must not be used:
Special additives
Marine diesel fuel
Heating oil
FAME19 and vegetable oil.
These fuels do not fulfil the requirements in accordance with Volvo recommendations and generate increased wear and engine damage that is not covered by the Volvo warranty.
Empty tank Once the engine has stopped due to fuel starva- tion, the fuel system needs a few moments to carry out a check. Do this before starting the engine, once the fuel tank has been filled with diesel:
1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition switch and push it in to the end position. For more information, see Key positions (p. 81).
2. Press the START button without depressing the brake and/or clutch pedal.
3. Wait approx. one minute.

Draining condensation from the fuel filter20
The fuel filter separates condensation from the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine operation.
For optimum performance, it is important to fol- low the service intervals for fuel filter change as well as to use genuine parts developed specifi- cally for this purpose.
The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet or if you suspect that the car has been filled with contaminated fuel. For more information, see Volvo service programme (p. 352).
IMPORTANT
Certain special additives remove the water separation in the fuel filter.

Diesel particle filter (DPF) (p. 314)
Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (p. 422)
Diesel particle filter (DPF) Diesel cars are equipped with a particle filter, which results in more efficient emission control.
The particles in the exhaust gases are collected in the filter during normal driving. So-called "regeneration" is started in order to burn away the particles and empty the filter. This requires the engine to have reached normal operating temperature.
Regeneration of the particle filter is automatic and normally takes 10-20 minutes. It may take a little longer at a low average speed. Fuel con- sumption may increase slightly during regenera- tion.
Regeneration in cold weather If the car is frequently driven short distances in cold weather then the engine does not reach normal operating temperature. This means that regeneration of the diesel particle filter does not take place and the filter is not emptied.
When the filter has become approx. 80% full of particles, a yellow warning triangle is shown in the combined instrument panel, and the message Soot filter full See manual is shown in its information display.
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the car until the engine reaches normal operating tem- perature, preferably on a main road or motorway.
20 Applicable to five-cylinder engines only.
STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory. 315
The car should then be driven for approximately 20 minutes more.
NOTE
The following may arise during regeneration:
a smaller reduction of engine power may be noticed temporarily
fuel consumption may increase temporar- ily
a smell of burning may arise.
When regeneration is complete the warning text is cleared automatically.
Use the parking heater* in cold weather - the engine then reaches normal operating tempera- ture more quickly.
IMPORTANT
If the filter is completely filled with particles, it may be difficult to start the engine and the fil- ter is non-functional. Then there is a risk that the filter will need to be replaced.

Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (p. 422)
Fuel tank - volume (p. 419) Catalytic converters The purpose of the catalytic converters is to purify exhaust gases. They are located close to the engine so that operating temperature is reached quickly.
The catalytic converters consist of a monolith (ceramic or metal) with channels. The channel walls are lined with a thin layer of platinum/ rhodium/palladium. These metals act as cata- lysts, i.e. they participate in and accelerate a chemical reaction without being used up them- selves.
Lambda-sondTM oxygen sensor The Lambda-sond is part of a control system intended to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. For more information, see Fuel con- sumption and CO2 emissions (p. 422).
An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen content of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. This value is fed into an electronic system that contin- uously controls the injectors. The ratio of fuel to air directed to the engine is continuously adjusted. These adjustments create optimal con- ditions for efficient combustion, and together with the three-way catalytic converter reduce harmful emissions (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides).

Economical driving Drive economically and eco-consciously by driv- ing smoothly, thinking ahead, and adjusting your driving style and speed to the prevailing condi- tions.
Use the ECO Guide* which indicates how fuel-efficiently the car is being driven, see Eco guide & Power guide* (p. 70).
For lower fuel consumption, activate Drive mode ECO21.
Use the Eco Coast22 freewheel function - engine braking will cease and the car's kinetic energy can be used to freewheel for longer distances.
Drive in the highest gear possible, adapted to the current traffic situation and road - lower engine speeds result in lower fuel consump- tion. Use the gear indicator (p. 283)23.
Drive at a steady speed and keep a good dis- tance to other vehicles and objects to mini- mise braking.
High speed results in increased fuel con- sumption - the wind resistance increases with speed.
Do not run the engine to operating tempera- ture at idling speed, but rather drive with a normal load right after starting - a cold
engine consumes more fuel than a warm one.
Drive with the correct air pressure in the tyres and check this regularly - select ECO tyre pressure for best results, see Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 427).
Choice of tyres can affect fuel consumption - seek advice on suitable tyres from a dealer.
Do not use winter tyres when the winter sea- son is over.
Remove unnecessary items from the car - the greater the load the higher the fuel con- sumption.
Use engine braking to slow down, when it can take place without risk to other road users.
A roof load and space box increase air resis- tance, leading to higher consumption - remove the load carriers when not in use.
Avoid driving with open windows.

Driving with a trailer* When driving with a trailer there are a number of important points to think about regarding e.g. the towing bracket, the trailer and how the load is positioned in the trailer.
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The total of the weight of the passengers and all accessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car's pay- load by a corresponding weight. For more detailed information, see Weights (p. 410).
If the towing bracket is mounted by Volvo, then the car is delivered with the necessary equipment for driving with a trailer.
The car's towing bracket must be of an approved type.
If the towbar is retrofitted, check with your Volvo dealer that the car is fully equipped for driving with a trailer.
Distribute the load on the trailer so that the weight on the towing bracket complies with the specified maximum towball load.
Increase the tyre pressure to the recom- mended pressure for a full load. For informa- tion on the tyre pressure, see Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 427).
The engine is loaded more heavily than usual when driving with a trailer.
Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is brand new. Wait until it has been driven at least 1000 km.
The brakes are loaded much more than usual on long and steep downhill slopes. Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your speed.
For safety reasons, the maximum permitted speed for the car when coupled with a trailer should not be exceeded. Follow the regula- tions in force for the permitted speeds and weights.
Maintain a low speed when driving with a trailer up long, steep ascents.
Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of more than 12%.
Trailer cable An adapter is required if the car's towing bracket has 13 pin electrics and the trailer has 7 pin electrics. Use an adapter cable approved by Volvo. Make sure the cable does not drag on the ground.
Direction indicators and brake lights on the trailer If any of the trailer's lamps for direction indicators are broken, then the combined instrument pan- el's symbol for direction indicators flashes faster than normal and the information display shows the text Trailer indicator malfunction.
If any of the trailer's lamps for the brake light are broken then the Trailer brake light malfunction text is shown.
Level control* The rear shock absorbers maintain a constant height irrespective of the car's load (up to the maximum permissible weight). When the car is stationary the rear of the car lowers slightly, which is normal.
Trailer weights For information on Volvo's permitted trailer weights, see Towing capacity and towball load (p. 411).
NOTE
The stated maximum permitted trailer weights are those permitted by Volvo. National vehicle regulations can further limit trailer weights and speeds. Towbars can be certified for higher towing weights than the car can actually tow.
WARNING Follow the stated recommendations for trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and trailer may be difficult to control in the event of sudden movement and braking.

Trailer Stability Assist - TSA24
The trailer stability assist TSA (Trailer Stability Assist) function is designed to stabilise the car and trailer combination if it begins to snake.
TSA- the function is included in the stability sys-
tem (p. 191) ESC25.
Function The snaking phenomenon can occur with any car/trailer combination. Snaking normally occurs at high speeds. But, there is a risk of it occurring at lower speeds if the trailer is overloaded or the load is improperly distributed, e.g. too far back.
In order for snaking to occur, there must be a triggering factor, e.g.:
Car with trailer subjected to a sudden and powerful side wind.
Car with trailer drives on an uneven road sur- face or in a pothole.
Sweeping steering wheel movements.
Operation If snaking has started, it could be difficult or even impossible to suppress. This makes the car/ trailer combination difficult to control and there is a risk that you could, for example, end up in the wrong lane or leave the carriageway.
The trailer stability assist function continually monitors car movements, particularly lateral movements. If snaking is detected, the front

STARTING AND DRIVING
324
wheels are individually braked. This serves to sta- bilise the car/trailer combination. This is often enough to help the driver regain control of the car.
If snaking is not eliminated the first time the TSA system comes into action, the car/trailer combi- nation is braked with all wheels and engine power is reduced. Once snaking has been gradu- ally suppressed and the car/trailer combination is stable once again, the system stops regulating and the driver once again has full control of the car. For more information, see Electronic stability control (ESC) - operation (p. 192).
Miscellaneous Engagement of TSA may take place at higher speeds.
NOTE
TSA function is switched off if the driver selects Sport mode, see Electronic stability control (ESC) - general (p. 191).
TSA may fail to engage if the driver uses sudden steering wheel movements to try to rectify the snaking because, in such a situation, the system cannot determine whether it is the trailer or the driver that is causing the snaking.
The ESC25 symbol in the combined instrument panel flashes when the TSA system is working.

The cover for the towing eye's attachment point is available in two variants which must be opened in different ways:
Open the variant with a recess using a coin or similar inserted in the recess, turn- ing it outwards. Then turn out the cover completely and remove it.
The second variant has a marking along one side or in a corner: Press the marking with a finger and fold out the opposite side/corner at the same time using a coin or similar - the cover turns around its axis and can then be removed.
Screw the towing eye right in up to its flange. Turn in the towing eye firmly e.g. using the wheel wrench.
After use, unscrew the towing eye and return it to its place.
Finish by refitting the cover onto the bumper.
The towing eye may be used to pull the car up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed platform. The car's position and ground clearance deter- mine whether it is possible. If the slope of the recovery vehicle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground clearance under the car is inadequate, then the car may be damaged if you try to pull it up using the towing eye. Raise the car using the recovery vehicle's lifting device if necessary.
WARNING No one/nothing is allowed to remain behind the recovery vehicle while the car pulled up onto the flatbed platform.

WHEELS AND TYRES
WHEELS AND TYRES

Tyres - maintenance Amongst other things, the function of the tyres is to carry load, provide grip on the road surface, dampen vibration and protect the wheel from wear.
Driving characteristics Tyres greatly affect the car's driving characteris- tics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre pressure and speed rating are important for how the car performs.
Tyre age All tyres older than 6 years old should be checked by an expert even if they seem undam- aged. Tyres age and decompose, even if they are hardly ever or never used. The function can therefore be affected. This applies to all tyres that are stored for future use. Examples of external signs which indicate that the tyre is unsuitable for use are cracks or discoloration.
New tyres
Tyres are perishable. After a few years they begin to harden at the same time as the friction capacity/characteristics gradually deteriorate. For this reason, aim to get as fresh tyres as possible when you replace them. This is especially impor- tant with regard to winter tyres. The last four dig- its in the sequence mean the week and year of manufacture. This is the tyre's DOT marking (Department of Transportation), and this is stated with four digits, for example 1510. The tyre in the figure was manufactured in week 15 of 2010.
Summer and winter wheels When summer and winter wheels are changed the wheels should be marked with which side of the car they were mounted on, for example L for left and R for right.
Wear and maintenance Correct tyre pressure (p. 332) results in more even wear. Driving style, tyre pressure, climate and road condition affect how quickly your tyres age and wear.
To avoid differences in tread depth and to pre- vent wear patterns arising, the front and rear wheels can be switched with each other. A suita- ble distance for the first change is approx. 5000 km and then at 10000 km intervals.
Volvo recommends that an authorised Volvo workshop is contacted for checking if you are uncertain about tread depth. If significant differ- ences in wear (> 1 mm difference in tread depth) between tyres have already occurred, then the least worn tyres must always be fitted on the rear. Understeer is normally easier to correct than oversteer, and leads to the car continuing for- wards in a straight line rather than having the rear end skidding to one side, resulting in possi- ble complete loss of control over the car. This is why it is important for the rear wheels never to lose grip before the front wheels.
WARNING A damaged tyre may lead to loss of control over the car.
Storage Wheels with tyres fitted must be stored lying down or hanging up - never standing up.

Tyres - direction of rotation Tyres with a tread pattern which are designed to only turn in one direction have the direction of rotation marked with an arrow.
G 0 2 1 7 7 8
The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation.
The tyre must always rotate in the same direction throughout its lifespan. Tyres should only be switched between front and rear positions, never between left and right-hand sides, or vice versa. If the tyres are fitted incorrectly, the car's braking characteristics and capacity to force rain and slush out of the way are adversely affected. Tyres with the greatest tread depth should always be fitted to the rear of the car (to decrease the risk of skidding).
NOTE
Make sure that both pairs of wheels have the same type and dimension, and also the same make.
Follow the recommended tyre pressures speci- fied in the tyre pressure table (p. 427).

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

Tyre pressure for the car's recommended tyre dimension.
ECO pressure1.
Check the tyre pressure on cold tyres. "Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same temperature as the ambient temperature. After several few kil- ometres of driving, the tyres warm up and the pressure increases.
Inadequate tyre pressure increases fuel con- sumption, shortens tyre lifespan and impairs the car's driving characteristics. Driving on tyres with tyre pressure that is too low could result in the tyres overheating and being damaged. Tyre pres- sure affects travelling comfort, road noise and driving characteristics.

Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also var- ies depending on ambient temperature.
Tyre pressure label
G 0 2 1 8 3 0
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door pillar (between frame and rear door) shows which pressures the tyres should have at different loads and speed conditions. This is also specified in the tyre pressure table, see Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 427).
Fuel economy, ECO pressure When carrying a light load (max. 3 people) and at speeds of up to 160 km/h (100 mph), the ECO pressure can be selected to give the best possi- ble fuel economy. If the best possible noise and travelling comfort conditions are sought, the lower comfort pressures are recommended instead.

Tyres - speed ratings Each tyre can withstand a certain maximum speed and therefore belongs to a particular speed rating (SS - Speed Symbol).
Tyre speed class must at least correspond with the car's top speed. The table below indicates the maximum permitted speed that applies for each speed rating (SS). The only exception to these regulations is the winter tyre (p. 336)2, where a lower speed rating may be used. If such a tyre is chosen, the car must not be driven faster than the speed rating of the tyre (for example, class Q can be driven at a maximum of 160 km/h (100 mph)). Traffic regulations determine how fast a car can be driven, not the speed rating of the tyres.
NOTE
The maximum permitted speed is specified in the table.
Q 160 km/h (100 mph) (only used on win- ter tyres)
T 190 km/h (118 mph)
H 210 km/h (130 mph)
V 240 km/h (149 mph)
W 270 km/h (168 mph)
Y 300 km/h (186 mph)
WARNING The car must be fitted with tyres which have the same or a higher load index (p. 335) (LI) and speed rating (SS) than specified. If a tyre with too low a load index or speed rating is used, it may overheat.

Wheel bolts Wheel bolts are used to fasten the wheels at the hubs and are available in different versions.
IMPORTANT
The wheel bolts must be tightened to 140 Nm. Overtightening or loose tightening may damage the nuts and the bolts.
Only use rims that are tested and approved by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine accessories. Check the torque with a torque wrench.
Do not use lubricant on the threads of the wheel bolts.
Locking wheel bolts* Locking wheel bolts* can be used on both alumi- nium and steel rims. Under the cargo area floor there is space for the sleeve for the lockable wheel bolts.
Related information Wheel and wheel rim dimensions (p. 334)
Winter tyres Winter tyres are tyres that are adapted for winter road conditions.
Winter tyres Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent on engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, the correct type of tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.
NOTE
Volvo recommends that you consult a Volvo dealer about which wheel rim and tyre types are most suitable.
Studded tyres Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properly into the tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially the studs, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded tyres vary from country to country.
Tread depth Road conditions with ice, slush and low tempera- tures place considerably higher demands on tyres than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-
mends not to drive on winter tyres that have a tread depth of less than 4 mm.
Using snow chains Snow chains may only be used on the front wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars). Never drive faster than 50 km/h (31 mph) with snow chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this wears out both the snow chains and tyres.
WARNING Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent chains designed for the car model, and tyre and rim dimensions. In the event of uncer- tainty Volvo recommends that you consult an authorised Volvo workshop. The wrong snow chains may cause serious damage to your car and lead to an accident.

Changing wheels - removing wheels The car's wheels can be changed for e.g. winter wheels/winter tyres.
Spare wheel* Two different versions of the spare wheel can be supplied, in a bag or beneath the cargo floor.
The following instructions only apply if a spare wheel has been purchased as an accessory for the car. If the car is not equipped with a spare wheel - see information about Emer- gency puncture repair (TMK) (p. 345).
The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only intended for use temporarily and must be replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as possi- ble. The car's handling may be altered by the use of the spare wheel. The spare wheel is smaller than the normal wheel. The car's ground clear- ance is affected accordingly. Pay attention to high kerbs and do not machine wash the car. If the spare wheel is fitted on the front axle, you cannot use snow chains at the same time. On all- wheel drive cars the drive on the rear axle can be disconnected. The spare wheel must not be repaired.
The correct tyre pressure for the spare wheel is stated in the tyre pressure table (p. 427).
IMPORTANT
Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) with a spare wheel on the car.
The car must never be driven fitted with more than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel well with the outside down. The same bolt runs through to secure the spare wheel and the foam block. The foam block contains all the tools nee- ded to change the wheels.
The spare wheel is supplied in a bag and must be secured on the cargo area floor using straps.
Cars with four load retaining eyelets.
Turn the handle on the spare wheel bag out towards you. Attach the sewn-in tensioning strap hooks in the front load retaining eyelets. Attach the long strap into one of the front load retaining
eyelets, run the strap diagonally over the spare wheel and through the upper handle. Tighten the short tensioning strap onto the long one. Attach the rear load retaining eyelet and tighten.
Taking out the spare wheel in the bag 1. Loosen the straps, lift out the spare wheel
from the cargo area and remove it from the spare wheel bag.
2. Fold up the cargo area floor.
3. Lift the tools and jack out from the foam block.

Tyre pressure monitoring*3
The tyre pressure monitoring system warns with an indicator symbol in the combined instrument panel when the pressure is too low in one or more of the car's tyres.
For certain markets the tyre pressure monitoring is standard in accordance with legal require- ments. The system does not replace normal tyre maintenance.
Indicator symbol for tyre pressure monitoring.
Related information Tyre monitoring (TM)* (p. 343)
Tyre monitoring (TM)*4
The TM (Tyre Monitor) system senses tyre rota- tion speed in order to determine whether the tyres have the correct tyre pressure.
System description If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre's diameter is changed and, as a result, so is its rotation speed. By comparing the tyres with each other the system can determine whether one or more tyres have pressure that is too low.
The system does not replace normal tyre mainte- nance.
Messages If the tyre pressure is too low then an indicator
symbol ( ) illuminates in the combined instru- ment panel and one of the following messages is shown:
Tyre pressure low Check, adjust and calibrate
Tyre pressure system Service required
Tyre pressure system Currently unavailable
IMPORTANT
If a fault occurs in the TM system the indica-
tor symbol in the combined instrument panel will flash for approx. 1 minute and then illuminate with a constant glow. A message is also shown in the combined instrument panel.
3 Standard in certain markets. 4 Standard in certain markets.

Deleting the messages 1. Check the tyre pressure in all tyres with a
tyre pressure gauge.
2. Inflate the tyre/tyres to the correct pressure in accordance with the tyre pressure label on the driver's side door pillar (between front and rear doors).
3. Recalibrate the TM system in MY CAR.
NOTE
To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the pressure should be checked on cold tyres. "Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same temperature as the ambient temperature (approx. 3 hours after the car has been driven). After a few kil- ometres of driving, the tyres warm up and the pressure increases.
WARNING
Incorrect tyre pressure may lead to tyre failure, which could result in the driver losing control of the car.
The system cannot indicate sudden tyre damage in advance.
TM calibration In order for TM system to work correctly, a refer- ence value for the tyre pressure must be deter- mined. This must be done each time the tyres are
changed or the tyre pressure is adjusted by reca- librating the system in MY CAR.
For example, the tyre pressure should be adjusted when driving with a heavy load or for high-speed driving (above 160 km/h (100 mph)). Following which, the system must be recalibrated.
Recalibration Settings are made using the centre console's controls, see MY CAR (p. 115).
1. Stop the engine.
2. Inflate all tyres to the desired pressure in accordance with the tyre pressure label on the driver's side door pillar (between front and rear doors).
Or see the tyre pressure table.
3. Start the engine and let the car stand still.
4. Open the menu system MY CAR and select the menu Tyre monitor.
5. Select Start calibration and press OK.
6. Press OK after all tyres have been checked and adjusted in order to start calibration.
7. Drive the car.
> Recalibration is carried out automatically while the car is being driven and can be interrupted at any time. If the engine is switched off while recalibration is in pro- gress then it is resumed when the car is driven again. The system provides no con- firmation when the calibration is complete.
The new reference value applies until steps 1-7 are repeated.
NOTE
Remember that the TM system must be reca- librated at each tyre change or if the tyre pressure is adjusted. If new reference values are not stored then the system cannot func- tion properly.
NOTE
After a tyre has been inflated, always refit the dust cap in order to avoid damage to the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust caps can rust and become difficult to unscrew.

Engine oil - general An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied.
Volvo recommends:
When driving under adverse conditions, see Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p. 413).
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.
An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil for both filling and oil change, otherwise you will risk affecting service life, starting charac- teristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.
Volvo recommends that oil changes are car- ried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.
Volvo uses different systems for warning of low/ high oil level or low oil pressure. Certain engine variants have an oil pressure sensor, and then the combined instrument panel's warning symbol for
low oil pressure is used . Other variants have an oil level sensor, when the driver is
informed via the instrument's warning symbol
and display texts. Certain variants have both systems. Contact a Volvo dealer for more information.
Change the engine oil and oil filter in accordance with the intervals specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet.
Using oil of a higher than specified grade is per- mitted. If the car is driven in adverse conditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of a higher grade than the one specified, see Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p. 413).
For filling capacities, see Engine oil - grade and volume (p. 414).

Coolant - level The coolant cools the internal combustion engine to the correct operating temperature. The heat that is transferred from the engine to the coolant can be used to heat the passenger com- partment.
Checking the level The coolant level must lie between the MIN and MAX marks on the expansion tank. If the cooling system is not filled sufficiently, excessively high temperatures could occur, causing a risk of dam- age to the engine.
NOTE
Check the coolant level regularly when the engine is cold.

When topping up the coolant, follow the instruc- tions on the packaging. Never top up with water only. The risk of freezing increases with both too little and too much coolant concentrate.
If there is coolant under the car, if there is cool- ant smoke, or if more than 2 litres have been filled, always call for recovery to avoid the risk of engine damage when starting due to a defective cooling system.
WARNING Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant requires topping up when the engine is at operating temperature, unscrew the expan- sion tank cap slowly to gently release the overpressure.
IMPORTANT
A high content of chlorine, chlorides and other salts may cause corrosion in the cooling system.
Always use coolant with anti-corrosion agent as recommended by Volvo.
Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50% water and 50% coolant.
Mix the coolant with approved quality tap water. In the event of any doubt about water quality, used ready-mixed coolant in accordance with Volvo recommendations.
When changing coolant/replacing cool- ing system components, flush the cooling system clean with approved quality tap water or flush with ready-mixed coolant.
The engine must only be run with a well- filled cooling system. Otherwise, tempera- tures that are too high may occur result- ing in the risk of damage (cracks) in the cylinder head.
For capacities and for standards regarding water quality; see Coolant - grade and volume (p. 416).
Brake and clutch fluid - level Brake and clutch fluid level should be between the reservoir MIN and MAX marks.
Checking the level Brake and clutch fluid have a common reservoir. The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks that are visible inside the reservoir. Check the level regularly.
Change the brake fluid every other year or at every other regular service.
The fluid should be changed annually on cars driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent brak- ing, such as driving in mountains or tropical cli- mates with high humidity.
For capacities and recommended brake fluid grade, see Brake fluid - grade and volume (p. 418).
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. Volvo rec- ommends that the reason for the loss of brake fluid is investigated by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Starter battery - general The starter battery is used to drive the starter motor and other electrical equipment in the car.
The starter battery is a traditional 12 V battery.
The service life and function of the starter battery is influenced by factors such as the number of starts, discharging, driving style, driving condi- tions, climatic conditions, etc.
Never disconnect the starter battery when the engine is running.
Check that the cables to the starter battery are correctly connected and properly tight- ened.
Voltage (V) 12
Cold start capacityA - CCAB
(A) 720
Size, LWH (mm) 278175190
Capacity (Ah) 70
A In accordance with EN standard. B Cold Cranking Amperes.
IMPORTANT
When replacing the starter battery in cars with the Start/Stop function, a battery of EFB9 type must be fitted.
IMPORTANT
When replacing the support battery, a battery of AGM10 type must be fitted.
IMPORTANT
If the starter battery is replaced, make sure you replace it with a battery with the same cold starting capacity and type as the original battery (see the label on the battery).
NOTE
The starter battery's container size should be consistent with the original battery's dimen- sions.
WARNING
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A spark can be formed if a jump lead is connected 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 imme- diately.
IMPORTANT
When charging the starter battery or the sup- port battery (p. 380), only use a modern bat- tery charger with controlled charging voltage. Fast charging function must not be used since it may damage the battery.

IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed then the energy saving function for infotain- ment system may be temporarily disengaged, and/or the message in the combined instru- ment panel's information display about the starter battery's state of charge may be tem- porarily inapplicable, following the connection of an external starter battery or battery charger:
The negative battery terminal on the car's starter battery must never be used for connecting an external starter battery or battery charger - only the car chassis may be used as the grounding point.
See Jump starting with another battery (p. 281) for a description of how the cable clamps must be attached.
NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if it becomes discharged repeatedly.
The life of the battery is affected by several factors, including driving conditions and cli- mate. Battery starting capacity decreases gradually with time and therefore needs to be recharged if the car is not used for a longer time or when it is only driven short distances. Extreme cold further limits starting capacity.
To maintain the battery in good condition, at least 15 minutes of driving/week is recom- mended or that the battery is connected to a battery charger with automatic trickle charg- ing.
A battery that is kept fully charged has a maximum service life.

Support battery
The support battery normally requires no more service than the normal battery that is used for starting. A workshop should be contacted in the event of questions or problems - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed then the Start/Stop function may temporarily cease to work after the connection of an external battery or battery charger:
The negative battery terminal on the car's starter battery must never be used for connecting an external battery or battery charger - only the car chassis may be used as the grounding point.
See Jump starting with another battery (p. 281) for a description of how the cable clamps must be attached.
NOTE
If the starter battery has been discharged so much that the car has no normal electrical functions and the engine is then jump-started with an external battery or a battery charger, the Start/Stop function will continue to be activated. If the Start/Stop function then auto-stops the engine shortly after, there is a great risk that engine auto-start will fail due to insufficient battery capacity, because the battery has not had the opportunity to recharge.
If the car has been jump-started, or if there is insufficient time to charge the battery with a battery charger, the recommendation is to temporarily deactivate the Start/Stop function until the battery has been recharged by the car. In an outside temperature of +15 C, the battery needs to be charged for at least 1 hour by the car. In a lower outside tempera- ture, the charging time may increase to 3-4 hours. The recommendation is to charge the battery using an external battery charger.
For more information on charging the starter battery, see Starter battery - general (p. 377).

Fuses - general All electrical functions and components are pro- tected by a number of fuses in order to protect the car's electrical system from damage by short circuiting or overloading.
If an electrical component or function does not work, it may be because the component's fuse was temporarily overloaded and failed. If the same fuse fails repeatedly then there is a fault in the circuit. Volvo recommends that you visit an authorised Volvo workshop for checking.
Changing 1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the fuse.
2. Pull out the fuse and check from the side to see whether the curved wire has blown.
3. If this is the case, replace it with a new fuse of the same colour and amperage.
WARNING Never use a foreign object or a fuse with an amperage higher than that specified when replacing a fuse. This could cause significant damage to the electrical system and possibly lead to fire.

Car wash The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This means that the car is easier to clean as the dirt does not attach as firmly. It also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the car fresh. Wash the car in a car wash with oil separator. Use car shampoo.
Handwashing Remove bird droppings from the paintwork
as soon as possible. Bird droppings contain substances that affect and discolour paint- work very quickly. For example, use soft paper or sponge soaked in plenty of water. An authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended for the removal of any discoloration.
Hose down the underbody.
Rinse the whole car until the loose dirt has been removed in order to reduce the risk of scratches from washing. Do not spray directly onto the locks.
If necessary, use cold degreasing agent on very dirty surfaces. Note that the surfaces must not then be warmed up by the sun!
Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and plenty of lukewarm water.
Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm soap solution or car shampoo.
Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or a water scraper. If you avoid allowing water droplets to dry in strong sunlight then the
risk of water stains that may need to be pol- ished away is reduced.
WARNING Always have the engine cleaned by a work- shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is hot.
IMPORTANT
Dirty headlamps have impaired functionality. Clean them regularly, when refuelling for example.
Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents but use water and a non-scratching sponge instead.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps and rear lamps may temporarily have condensation on the inside of the lens. This is normal, all exte- rior lighting is designed to withstand this. Condensation is normally vented out of the lamp housing when the lamp has been switched on for a time.
Automatic car washes An automatic car wash is a simple and quick way of washing the car, but it cannot reach every- where. Washing the car by hand is recommended
to achieve a good result, or to supplement auto- matic car washes with washing by hand.
NOTE
The car must only be washed by hand over the first few months. This is because the paint is more delicate when it is new.
High-pressure washing When using high-pressure washing, use sweep- ing movements and make sure that the nozzle does not come closer than 30 cm to the surface of the car. Do not spray directly onto the locks.
Testing the brakes
WARNING Always test the brakes after washing the car, including the parking brake, to ensure that moisture and corrosion do not attack the brake linings and reduce braking perform- ance.
Lightly depress the brake pedal now and then when driving long distances in rain or slush. The heat from the friction causes the brake linings to warm up and dry. Do the same thing after starting in very damp or cold weather.

Wiper blades Asphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades, as well as insects, ice etc. on the windscreen, impair the service life of wiper blades.
For cleaning:
- Set the wiper blades to the service position, see Wiper blades (p. 374).
NOTE
Wash the wiper blades and windscreen regu- larly with lukewarm soap solution or car shampoo. Do not use any strong solvents.
Exterior plastic, rubber and trim components A special cleaning agent available from Volvo dealers is recommended for the cleaning and care of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trim components, such as glossy trim mouldings. When using such a cleaning agent the instruc- tions must be followed carefully.
The frames around the side windows, the car's roof rails and the door frames at the windows* are produced in anodised aluminium. This means that they should only be washed using a cleaning agent with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5. This is in order to avoid discolouration.
Parts that should be washed using a cleaning agent with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber.
When using degreasant on plastic and rubber, only rub with light pressure if it is necessary. Use a soft washing sponge.
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surface layer.
Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.
IMPORTANT
Avoid washing the car with cleaning agent with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5. This may result in discolouration of ano- dised aluminium parts such as roof rack and around the side windows.
Never use metal polishing agent on anodised aluminium parts, this can result in discoloura- tion and destroy the surface treatment.
Rims Only use rim cleaning agent recommended by Volvo.
After washing, discolouration at the base of the spokes may remain due to metal dust from the brake discs attaching in the wheel rim's paint. Paint cleaner works in many cases, with very fine polishing using a soft cloth.
Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the sur- face and cause stains on chrome-plated alumi- nium rims.

Polishing and waxing Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull or to give the paintwork extra protection.
The car does not need to be polished until it is at least one year old. However, the car can be waxed during this time. Do not polish or wax the car in direct sunlight.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt and tar stains using tar remover or white spirit. More stubborn stains can be removed using fine rub- bing paste designed for car paintwork.
Polish first with a polish and then wax with liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on the pack- aging carefully. Many preparations contain both polish and wax.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber.
When using degreasant on plastic and rubber, only rub with light pressure if it is necessary. Use a soft washing sponge.
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surface layer.
Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.
IMPORTANT
Only paint treatment recommended by Volvo should be used. Other treatment such as pre- serving, sealing, protection, lustre sealing or similar could damage the paintwork. Paint- work damage caused by such treatments is not covered by Volvo warranty.
Related information Car wash (p. 397)
Water and dirt-repellent coating The windows are treated with a surface coating that improves visibility in difficult weather condi- tions.
Water and dirt-repellent coating* There is natural wear of the water- repellent coating.
Maintenance:
Never use products such as car wax, degreaser or similar on glass surfaces as this could ruin their water-repellent properties.
Take care when cleaning so as not to dam- age the glass surface.
To avoid damaging glass surfaces when removing ice only use plastic ice scrapers.
Treatment with a special finishing agent available from Volvo dealers is recommended in order to maintain the water-repellent prop- erties on the side windows. This should be used first after three years and then each year.
IMPORTANT
Do not use a metal ice scraper to remove ice from the windows. Use the heating to remove ice from the door mirrors, see Windows and rearview and door mirrors - heating (p. 107).

Rustproofing The car received a thorough and complete rust- proofing at the factory. Parts of the body are made of galvanised sheet metal. The underbody is protected by a wear-resistant anti-corrosion compound. A thin, penetrating rustproofing fluid was sprayed into the exposed members, cavi- ties, closed sections and side doors.
Inspection and maintenance The car's anti-corrosion protection does not nor- mally need to be maintained, but keeping the car clean always helps to further reduce the risk of corrosion. Strong alkaline or acidic cleaning solu- tions must always be avoided on the glossy trim components. Any stone chips should be rectified as soon as they are discovered.

Cleaning the interior Only use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and treat stains at once for best results. Vacuuming is important prior to using cleaning agents.
IMPORTANT
Certain items of coloured clothing (e.g. dark jeans and suede garments) may stain the upholstery. If this occurs, it is important to clean and treat these parts of the upholstery as soon as possible.
Never use strong solvents such as washer fluid, pure petrol or white spirit to clean the interior, since this may damage the upholstery as well as other interior materials.
Never spray the cleaning agent directly onto components that have electrical but- tons and controls. Wipe them instead using a moistened cloth containing the cleaning agent.
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the fabric upholstery.

fabric care product is available for purchase from a Volvo dealer.
Leather upholstery Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to preserve its original appearance.
Leather upholstery is a natural product that changes and acquires a beautiful patina over time. Regular cleaning and treatment are required in order that the properties and colours of the leather shall be preserved. Volvo offers a comprehensive product, Volvo Leather Care Kit/ Wipes, for the cleaning and treatment of leather upholstery which, when used in accordance with the instructions, preserves the leather's protective coating.
To achieve best results, Volvo recommends the cleaning and application of the protective cream once to four times per year (or more if required). The Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes is available for purchase from a Volvo dealer.
Leather steering wheel Leather needs to breathe. Never cover the leather steering wheel with protective plastic. Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes is recommended for cleaning the leather steering wheel.
Interior plastic, metal and wood parts A fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, lightly mois- tened with water, available from Volvo dealers, is recommended for cleaning interior parts and sur- faces.
Do not scrape or rub stains. Never use strong stain removers. A special cleaning agent available from Volvo dealers can be used for more difficult cleaning.
Seatbelts Use water and a synthetic detergent. A special textile cleaning agent is available from a Volvo dealer. Ensure that the seatbelt is dry before allowing it to retract.
Inlay mats and floor mat Remove inlaid carpets for separate cleaning of the floor carpet and the inlaid carpets. Use a vac- uum cleaner to remove dust and dirt. Each inlay mat is secured with pins.
Remove the inlay mat by taking hold of the inlay mat at each pin and lifting the mat straight up.
Fit the inlay mat in place by pressing it in at each pin.
WARNING Only use one inlaid mat at each seat, and check before setting off that the mat by the driver's seat is firmly affixed and secured in the pins so that it does not get caught adja- cent to and under the pedals.
A special textile cleaner is recommended for stains on the floor mat after vacuuming. Floor mats must be cleaned with agents recommended by a Volvo dealer.

Paint damage Paint is an important part of the car's rustproof- ing and should therefore be checked regularly. The most common types of paintwork damage are stone chips, scratches, and marks on the edges of wings, doors and bumpers.
Touching up minor paintwork damage To avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork should be rectified immediately.
Materials that may be needed
Primer17 - for e.g. bumpers, there are special adhesive primers available in spray cans.
Base coat and clear coat - are available in spray cans or as touch-up pens/sticks18.
Masking tape.
Fine sand paper17.
Colour code The label for colour code is located on the car's door pillar and is visible when the right-hand rear door is opened.
Exterior colour code
Any secondary exterior colour code
It is important that the correct colour is used. For product label location, see Type designations (p. 406).
Repairing minor paint damage such as stone chips and scratches
G 0 2 1 8 3 2
Before work is started, the car must be clean and dry as well as at a temperature above 15 C.
1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the dam- aged surface. Then remove the tape to remove any loose paint.
If the damage has reached down to a metal surface (sheet steel), it is preferable to use a primer. In the event of damage to a plastic surface, an adhesive primer should be used for better results - spray into the spray can's cap and brush thinly.
17 If required. 18 Follow the instructions that are included with the package for the touch-up pen/stick.

2. Before painting, gentle polishing using a very fine polishing agent may be carried out locally if required (e.g. if there are any uneven edges). Clean the surface thoroughly and allow to dry.
3. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine brush, matchstick or similar. Finish with base coat and clear coat once the primer has dried.
4. For scratches, proceed as above, but mask around the damaged area to protect the undamaged paintwork.
NOTE
If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the meal and an undamaged layer of paint remains in place, fill in with base coat and clear coat as soon as the surface has been cleaned.

Weights Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a label in the car.
Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank 90% full and all fluids.
The weight of passengers and accessories, and towball load (p. 411) (when a trailer is hitched) influence the load capacity and are not included in the kerb weight.
Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight - Kerb weight.
NOTE
The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a car without extra equipment or accessories. This means that for every accessory added the loading capacity of the car is reduced correspondingly by the weight of the accessory.
Examples of accessories that reduce load capacity are the different equipment levels (e.g. Kinetic, Momentum, Summum), as well as other accessories such as towbar, load carrier, space box, audio system, auxiliary lamps, GPS, fuel-driven heater, safety grille, carpets, cargo cover, power seats, etc.
Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer- taining the kerb weight of your own particular car.
WARNING The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded and how the load is distributed.

Engine oil - adverse driving conditions Adverse driving conditions can lead to abnor- mally high oil temperature or oil consumption. Below are some examples of adverse driving conditions.
Check the oil level (p. 360) more frequently for long journeys:
towing a caravan or trailer
in mountainous regions
at high speeds
in temperatures colder than -30 C or hotter than +40 C.
The above also apply to shorter driving distances at low temperatures.
Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adverse driving conditions. It provides extra protection for the engine.
Volvo recommends:
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.
An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil for both filling and oil change, otherwise you will risk affecting service life, starting charac- teristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.
Volvo recommends that oil changes are car- ried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.

A V60 Cross Country B Does not apply to the low-emissions variant. C This only applies to the low-emissions variant.
Fuel consumption and emission values in the table above are based on specific EU driving cycles (see below), that apply to cars with kerb weight in the basic version and without extra equipment. The car's weight may increase depending on equipment. This, as well as how heavily the car is loaded, increases fuel consump- tion and carbon dioxide emissions.
There are several reasons for increased fuel con- sumption compared with the table's values. Examples of this are:
If the car is equipped with extra equipment that affects the car's weight.
The driver's driving style.
If the customer chooses wheels other than those fitted as standard on the model's basic version then rolling resistance may increase.
High speed results in increased wind resis- tance.
Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions, weather and the condition of the car.
A combination of the above-mentioned examples can result in significantly increased consumption.
Large deviations in fuel consumption may arise in a comparison with the EU driving cycles (see below) which are used in the certification of the car and on which the consumption figures in the table are based. For further information, please refer to the regulations referred to.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combina- tion with fuel quality are factors that consider- ably increase the car's fuel consumption.
||
SPECIFICATIONS
424
EU driving cycles Official fuel consumption figures are based on two standardised driving cycles in a laboratory environment ("EU driving cycles") all in accord- ance with EU Regulation no 692/2008 and 715/2007 (Euro 5 / Euro 6) and UN ECE Regulation no 101. Since the driving cycles are also used for quality control, there are significant requirements for repeatability of the tests. For this reason the tests are carried out under close scrutiny and only with the car's basic functions (e.g. air conditioning, radio, etc. switched off). As a consequence of this the results from the official figures are not obviously representative of what the customer sees during actual usage.
The regulations cover the driving cycles for "Urban driving" and "Extra-urban driving":
Urban driving - the measurement starts with cold starting the engine. The driving is simu- lated.
Extra-urban driving - the car is accelerated and braked at speeds between 0-120 km/h (0-75 mph). The driving is simulated.
Cars with manual gearbox are started in 2nd gear.
The official value for combined driving, which is reported in the table, is a combination of the results from the "Urban driving" and "Extra-urban driving" driving cycles, in accordance with legal requirements.
The exhaust gases are collected in order to extrapolate the carbon dioxide emissions (CO2
emissions) during the two driving cycles. These are then analysed and give the value for CO2
emissions.
