Owner information
Your car is fitted with a screen which shows
information on how your car is working
1
.
For cars with owner information in the screen,
the printed owner's manual is a supplement
and contains important text, the latest
updates, as well as instructions that can be
useful when, for practical reasons, you are
unable to read the information on the screen.
Changing the display language may mean
that some information does not correspond
to national or local laws and regulations.
IMPORTANT
The driver is always responsible that the
vehicle is driven safely in traffic and that
applicable laws and regulations are fol-
lowed. It is also important that the car is
maintained and handled in accordance
with Volvo's recommendations in the
owner's information.
If there should be a difference between the
information on the screen and in the prin-
ted manual then it is always the printed
information that applies.
Reading the owner's manual
A good way of getting to know your new car
is to read the owner's manual, ideally before
your first journey.
Reading the owner's manual will give you the
opportunity to familiarise yourself with new
functions, advice on how best to handle the
car in different situations and to make the
best use of all the car's features. Please pay
attention to the safety instructions contained
in the owner's manual.
The specifications, design features and illus-
trations in this owner's manual are not bind-
ing. We reserve the right to make modifica-
tions without prior notice.
© Volvo Car Corporation
Owner's Manual in mobile devices
NOTE
The owner's manual is available for down-
load as a mobile application (applies for
certain car models and mobile devices),
see www.volvocars.com.
The mobile application also includes video
and searchable content and easy naviga-
tion between different sections.
Options/accessories
All types of option/accessory are marked with
an asterisk*.
In addition to standard equipment, the
owner's manual also describes options (fac-
tory fitted equipment) and certain accessories
(retrofitted extra equipment).
The equipment described in the owner's
manual is not available in all cars - they have
different equipment depending on adapta-
tions for the needs of different markets and
national or local laws and regulations.
In the event of uncertainty over what is stand-
ard or an option/accessory, contact a Volvo
dealer.

Special texts
WARNING
Warning texts appear if there is a risk of
injury.
IMPORTANT
"Important" texts appear if there is a risk of
damage.
NOTE
NOTE texts give advice or tips that facili-
tate the use of features and functions for
example.
Footnote
There is footnote information in the owner's
manual that is located at the bottom of the
page. This information is an addition to the
text that it refers to via a number. If the foot-
note refers to text in a table then letters are
used instead of numbers for referral.
Message texts
In the car there are displays that show menu
texts and message texts. In the owner's man-
ual the appearance of these texts differs from
the normal text. Examples of menu texts and
message texts:
Media, Sending location.
Decals
The car contains different types of decal
which are designed to convey important
information in a simple and clear manner. The
decals in the car have the following descend-
ing degree of importance for the warning/
information.
Warning for personal injury
G031590
Black ISO symbols on yellow warning field,
white text/image on black message field.
Used to indicate the presence of danger
which, if the warning is ignored, may result in
serious personal injury or fatality.
Risk of property damage
G031592
White ISO symbols and white text/image on
black or blue warning field and message field.
Used to indicate the presence of danger
which, if the warning is ignored, may result in
damage to property.

Information
G031593
White ISO symbols and white text/image on
black message field.
NOTE
It is not intended that the decals illustrated
in the owner's manual should be exact
replicas of those in the car. They are
included to show their approximate
appearance and location in the car. The
information that applies to your particular
car is available on the respective decals
for your car.
Procedure lists
Procedures where action must be taken in a
certain sequence are numbered in the
owner's manual.
When there is a series of illustrations for
step-by-step instructions each step is
numbered in the same way as the corres-
ponding illustration.
There are numbered lists with letters
adjacent to the series of illustrations
where the order of the instructions is not
significant.
Arrows appear numbered and unnum-
bered and are used to illustrate a move-
ment.
Arrows with letters are used to clarify a
movement when the reciprocal order is of
no relevance.
If there is no series of illustrations for step-by-
step instructions then the different steps are
numbered with normal numbers.
Position lists
Red circles containing a number are used
in overview images where different com-
ponents are pointed out. The number
recurs in the position list featured in con-
nection with the illustration that describes
the item.
Bulleted lists
A bulleted list is used when there is a list of
points in the owner's manual.
Example:
•
Coolant
•
Engine oil
Related information
Related information refers to other articles
containing closely-associated information.
Images
The manual's images are sometimes sche-
matic and may deviate from the car's appear-
ance depending on equipment level and mar-
ket.

Information on the Internet (p. 20)
Recording data
Certain information about the vehicle's opera-
tion and functionality, and any incidents, are
recorded in the car.
Your vehicle contains a number of computers
whose function is to continuously check and
monitor the vehicle's operation and function-
ality. Some of the computers can record
information during normal driving if they
detect an error. In addition, information is
recorded in the event of a collision or inci-
dent. Parts of the recorded information are
required so that technicians can diagnose
and rectify faults in the vehicle during servic-
ing and maintenance and so that Volvo can
fulfil legal requirements and other regulations.
In addition to this, the information is used for
research purposes by Volvo in order to con-
tinually develop quality and safety, as the
information can contribute to a better under-
standing of the factors that cause accidents
and injuries. The information includes details
of the status and functionality of various sys-
tems and modules in the vehicle with regard
to engine, throttle, steering and brake sys-
tems, amongst other things. This information
may include details regarding the way the
driver drives the vehicle, such as vehicle
speed, brake and accelerator pedal use,
steering wheel movement and whether or not
the driver and passengers have used their
seatbelts. For the reasons given this informa-
tion may be stored in the vehicle's computers

for a certain length of time, but also as a
result of a collision or incident. This informa-
tion may be stored by Volvo as long as it can
help to further develop and further enhance
safety and quality and as long as there are
legal requirements and other regulations that
Volvo needs to consider.
Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri-
bed information being disclosed to third par-
ties without the vehicle owner's consent.
However, due to national legislation and reg-
ulations Volvo may be required to disclose
such information to authorities such as police
authorities, or others who may assert a legal
right to have access to it.
To be able to read and interpret the informa-
tion recorded by the computers in the vehicle
requires special technical equipment that
Volvo, and workshops that have entered into
agreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvo
is responsible that the information, which is
transferred to Volvo during servicing and
maintenance, is stored and handled in a
secure manner and that the handling com-
plies with applicable legal requirements. For
further information - contact a Volvo dealer.
Accessories and extra equipment
The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories and extra equipment can nega-
tively affect the car's electronic system.
Certain accessories only function when asso-
ciated software is installed in the car's com-
puter system. Volvo therefore recommends
that you always contact an authorised Volvo
workshop before installing accessories or
extra equipment which are connected to or
affect the electrical system.
Heat-reflecting windscreen*
The windscreen is equipped with a heat-
reflecting film (IR) that reduces the solar heat
radiation into the passenger compartment.
The positioning of electronic equipment, such
as a transponder, behind a glass surface with
heat-reflecting film may affect its function and
performance.
For the optimal function of electronic equip-
ment, it should be positioned on the part of
the windscreen with no heat-reflecting film
(see the highlighted area in the illustration).
Areas where IR film is not applied.

Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also manufac-
tured in one of the cleanest and most
resource-efficient plants in the world.
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor-
poration's core values which influence all
operations. We also believe that our custom-
ers share our consideration for the environ-
ment.
Volvo Car Corporation has global ISO certifi-
cation, which includes the environmental
standard ISO 14001 covering all factories and
several of our other units. We also set
requirements for our partners so that they
work systematically with environmental
issues.
Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consump-
tion in each of their respective classes. Lower
fuel consumption generally results in lower
emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon diox-
ide.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel
consumption. For more information read
under the heading, Reducing environmental
impact.
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the
concept "Clean inside and out" – a concept
that encompasses a clean interior environ-
ment as well as highly efficient emission con-
trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions are
well below the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger
compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents dust
and pollen from entering the passenger com-
partment via the air intake.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS*
(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the
incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf-
fic outside.
||
01 Introduction
01
22
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
The system consists of an electronic sensor
and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-
tored continuously and if there is an increase
in the level of certain unhealthy gases such as
carbon monoxide then the air intake is
closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy
traffic, queues and tunnels for example.
The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level
ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the
carbon filter.
Interior
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea-
sant and comfortable, even for people with
contact allergies and for asthma sufferers.
Extreme attention has been given to choosing
environmentally-compatible materials.
Volvo workshops and the environment
Regular maintenance creates the conditions
for a long service life and low fuel consump-
tion for your car. In this way you contribute to
a cleaner environment. When Volvo's work-
shops are entrusted with the service and
maintenance of your car it becomes part of
our system. Volvo makes clear demands
regarding the way in which our workshops
are designed in order to prevent spills and
discharges into the environment. Our work-
shop staff have the knowledge and the tools
required to guarantee good environmental
care.
Reducing environmental impact
You can easily help reduce environmental
impact - here are a few tips:
•
Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off
the engine when stationary for longer
periods. Pay attention to local regula-
tions.
•
Drive economically - think ahead.
•
Perform service and maintenance in
accordance with the instructions in the
owner's manual - follow the Service and
Warranty Booklet's recommended inter-
vals.
•
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 normal operating tem-
perature more quickly, which lowers con-
sumption and reduces emissions.
•
High speed increases consumption con-
siderably due to increased wind resis-
tance - a doubling of speed increases
wind resistance 4 times.
•
Always dispose of environmentally hazar-
dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in
an environmentally safe manner. Consult
a workshop in the event of uncertainty
about how this type of waste should be
discarded - an authorised Volvo work-
shop is recommended.
Following this advice can save money, the
planet's resources are saved, and the car's
durability is extended. For more information
and further advice, see Eco guide (p. 65),
Economical driving (p. 301) and Fuel con-
sumption (p. 409).
Recycling
As a part of Volvo's environmental work, it is
important that the car is recycled in an envi-
ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of the
car can be recycled. The last owner of the car
is therefore requested to contact a dealer for
referral to a certified/approved recycling
facility.

General information on seatbelts
Heavy braking can have serious consequen-
ces if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that
all passengers are using their seatbelts during
the journey.
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 protec-
tion. Do not lean the backrest too far back.
The seatbelt is designed to protect in a nor-
mal seating position.
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas-
ten their (p. 26) seatbelt by means of an
audio and visual reminder (p. 28).
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
seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,
this may diminish the protection provided
by the airbag in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one per-
son.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts your-
self. Volvo recommends that you contact
an authorised Volvo workshop.
If the seatbelt has been subjected to a
major load, such as in conjunction with a
collision, the entire seatbelt must be
replaced. Some of the seatbelt's protective
properties may have been lost even if the
seatbelt does not appear damaged. The
seatbelt must also be replaced if it shows
signs of wear or damage. The new seatbelt
must be type-approved and designed for
installation at the same location as the
replaced seatbelt.

Seatbelt - pregnancy
Seatbelt (p. 25) must always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in
the correct way.
G020998
The diagonal section should wrap over the
shoulder then be routed between the breasts
and to the side of the abdomen.
The lap section should lay flat over the thighs
and as low as possible under the abdomen. –
It must never be allowed to ride upward.
Remove the slack from the seatbelt and
ensure that it fits as close to the body as pos-
sible. In addition, check that there are no
twists in the seatbelt.
As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant dri-
vers must adjust the seat (p. 77) and steer-
ing wheel (p. 82) such that they can easily
maintain control of the vehicle as they drive
(which means that they must be able to easily
operate the foot pedals and steering wheel).
The aim should be to position the seat with as
large a distance as possible between abdo-
men and steering wheel.

Seatbelt reminder
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas-
ten their (p. 26) seatbelt by means of an audio
and visual reminder.
The audio reminder is speed dependent, and
in some cases time dependent. The visual
reminder is located in the roof console and in
the combined instrument panel (p. 61).
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. 25) 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 acknowledged
automatically after approximately
30 seconds driving or after pressing the
indicator stalk OK button (p. 105). If any-
one is unbelted then the message can
only be acknowledged manually by
pressing the indicator stalk OK button.
•
Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-
belts is unfastened during travel. This
warning takes the form of a message in
the combined 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 combined instrument panel's information
display shows which seatbelts are in use.
This information is always available.
Seatbelt tensioner
Seatbelts (p. 25) on the driver's side, the pas-
senger side and at the outer rear seats are fit-
ted with seatbelt tensioners. A mechanism in
the seatbelt tensioner tightens the seatbelt in
the event of a sufficiently violent collision. The
seatbelt then provides 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 seat-
belt into the buckle on the correct side. Do
not make any damages on seatbelts nor
insert any foreign objects into a buckle.
The seatbelts and buckles would then
possibly not function as intended in the
event of a collision. There is a risk of
serous injury.

Airbag system
In the event of a frontal collision the airbag
system helps to protect the head, face and
chest of the driver and passenger.
G018665
Airbag system viewed from above, left-hand-
drive car.
G018666
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 deflation of the airbag,
occurs within tenths of a second.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that you contact an
authorised Volvo workshop for repair.
Defective work in the airbag system could
cause malfunction and result in serious
personal injury.
NOTE
The detectors react differently depending
on the nature of the collision and whether
or not the seatbelt is fastened. Applies to
all seatbelt positions apart from centre
seat rear.
It is therefore possible that only one (or
none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli-
sion. The detectors sense the force of the
collision on the vehicle and the action is
adapted accordingly so that one or more
airbags are deployed.

Side airbag (SIPS)
In a side impact collision a large proportion of
the collision force is transferred by the SIPS
(Side Impact Protection System) to beams,
pillars, the floor, the roof and other structural
parts of the body. The side airbags at the driv-
er's and front passenger seats protect the
chest area and the hip and are an important
part of the SIPS.
The SIPS bag system consists of two main
components, side airbag and sensors. The
side airbags are located in the front seat'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
workshop. Defective work in the SIPS-
bag system could cause malfunction
and result in serious personal injury.
•
Do not put objects in the area between
the outside of the seat and the door
panel, since this area is required by
the side airbag.
•
Volvo recommends the use only of car
seat covers approved by Volvo. Other
seat covers may impede the operation
of the side airbags.
•
Side airbags are a supplement the
seatbelts. 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 colli-
sion.
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is
a part of the SIPS system (p. 35). It is fitted in
the headlining along both sides of the roof
and protects the car's occupants sitting in the
outer seats. A sufficiently violent collision
trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is
inflated.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only
designed for light clothing (not for solid
objects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the
car's headlining, door pillars or side pan-
els. 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 con-
cealed in the headlining, may be compro-
mised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.

General information on WHIPS
(whiplash protection)
WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System) is a pro-
tection against whiplash injuries. The system
consists of energy absorbing backrests and
specially designed head restraints in the front
seats.
The WHIPS system is actuated by a rear-end
collision, where the angle and speed of the
collision, and the nature of the colliding vehi-
cle 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 work-
shop.

WHIPS - seating position
In order to obtain optimum protection from
the WHIPS system (p. 37) the driver and pas-
senger must have the correct seating position
and make sure that the system's function is
not obstructed.
Seating position
Set the correct seating position in the front
seat (p. 77) before driving starts.
Driver and front seat passenger should sit in
the centre of the seat with as little space as
possible between the head and the head
restraint.
Function
Do not leave any objects on the floor behind the
driver's seat/passenger seat that may prevent the
WHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
Do not squeeze rigid objects between the
rear seat cushion and the front seat's
backrest. Make sure you do not to
obstruct the function of the WHIPS sys-
tem.
Do not place objects on the rear seat that may
prevent the WHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the
corresponding front seat must be moved
forward so that it does not touch the
folded backrest.

WARNING
If a seat has been subjected to extreme
forces, such as due to a rear-end collision,
the WHIPS system must be checked.
Volvo recommends that it is checked by
an authorised Volvo workshop.
Part of the WHIPS system's protective
capacity may have been lost even if the
seat appears to be undamaged.
Volvo recommends that you contact an
authorised Volvo workshop to have the
system checked even after a minor rear-
end collision.

The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a
collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors
such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed
of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the
different safety systems of the car are activated.
If the airbags (p. 30) have deployed, the fol-
lowing is recommended:
•
Recovering the car. Volvo recommends
that you have it conveyed to an author-
ised Volvo workshop. Do not drive with
deployed airbags.
•
Volvo recommends that you engage an
authorised Volvo workshop to handle the
replacement of components in the car's

WARNING
The airbag system's control module is
located in the centre console. If the centre
console is drenched with water or other
liquid, disconnect the battery cables. Do
not attempt to start the car since the air-
bags may deploy. Recovering the car.
Volvo recommends that you have it con-
veyed 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 irrita-
tion/injury after intensive exposure. In case
of irritation, wash with cold water. The
rapid deployment sequence and airbag
fabric may cause friction and skin burns.
General information on safety mode
Safety mode is a protective state that is
enforced when the collision may have dam-
aged any of the car's vital functions, such as
the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety
systems, or the brake system.

Pedestrian airbag*
The airbag for pedestrians (Pedestrian Airbag)
contributes in certain frontal collisions to alle-
viating the collision of the pedestrian with the
car.
The pedestrian airbag (Pedestrian Airbag) is
fitted under the bonnet near the windscreen.
In the event of certain frontal collisions with a
pedestrian, the sensors in the front bumper
react and the airbag inflates if required, based
on the force of the impact. The sensors are
active at a speed of approx. 20-50 km/h and
an ambient temperature between
-20 and +70°C.
The sensors are designed to detect a collision
with an object that has similar properties to
those of the human leg.
NOTE
There may be objects in the traffic environ-
ment that prompt a signal to the sensors
that is similar to a collision with a pedes-
trian. It is possible that the system will be
activated in the event of a collision with
such an object.
If the airbag is activated (Pedestrian Airbag)
•
the rear part of the bonnet is raised and
locked in this position
•
the hazard warning flashers are activated
•
the brake system is prepared for the
upcoming emergency braking.
WARNING
Do not fit any accessories or change any-
thing in the front if the car is equipped with
airbag (Pedestrian Airbag). Incorrect inter-
vention at the front may cause incorrect
function in the system and lead to serious
injury and damage to the car.
Volvo recommends that genuine wiper
arms are used and that you only use genu-
ine parts for them.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an author-
ised Volvo workshop in the event of dam-
age to the bumper in order to ensure that
the system is intact.

sit in rear-facing child seats to as late an age
as possible.
NOTE
Fold the head restraints in order to facili-
tate fitting this type of child seat in cars
with folding head restraints on the outer
seats.
NOTE
In cars with a cargo cover over the lug-
gage 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 instruc-
tions.
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.

Eco guide & Power guide*
Eco guide and Power guide are two com-
bined instrument panel (p. 61) 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 diagram; see Trip computer - trip statis-
tics* (p. 119).
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 - over-
view (p. 62).
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 uti-
lised plus use of the foot brake.
Optimum speed (50-80 km/h) and low engine
speeds are encouraged. The pointers fall dur-
ing 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 instanta-
neous 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 instru-
ment panel - overview (p. 62).
Available engine power
Engine power utilised
Available engine power
The smaller, upper pointer shows the availa-

Engine power utilised
The larger, lower pointer shows the engine
power utilised

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 work-
shop 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
continues to work, but without the ABS func-
tion.
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

Rear fog lamp on
This symbol illuminates when the rear fog
lamp is switched on. There is only one rear
fog lamp - it is located on the driver's side.
Stability system
A flashing symbol indicates that the stability
system is operating. If the symbol illuminates
with constant glow then there is a fault in the
system.
Stability system, sport mode
Sport mode allows for a more active driving
experience. The system then detects whether
the accelerator pedal, steering wheel move-
ments and cornering are more active than in
normal driving and then allows controlled
skidding of the rear section up to a certain
level before it intervenes and stabilises the
car. The symbol illuminates when the sport
mode is activated.

When one of the car's systems does not
behave as intended, this information symbol
illuminates and a text appears on the informa-
tion display. The message text is cleared with
the OK button, see Menu navigation - com-
bined instrument panel (p. 105), or it disap-
pears automatically after a time (time
depending on which function is indicated).

when a fault has been indicated which could
affect the safety and/or driveability of the car.
An explanatory text is shown on the informa-
tion display in the combined instrument panel
at the same time.
- When one of the car's systems does
not behave as intended, this information sym-
bol illuminates, and a text appears on the
information display in the combined instru-
ment panel. The yellow information symbol
can also illuminate in conjunction with other
symbols.

DRL
Knob for headlamp control in AUTO position.
With the knob for headlamp control in
position the daytime running lights (Daytime
Running Lights - DRL) are activated automati-
cally when the car is driven in daylight. A light
sensor on the top of the instrument panel
changes from daytime running lights to
dipped beam at twilight or when daylight
becomes too weak. Switching to dipped
beam also takes place when the rear fog
lamps are activated.
On cars with halogen headlamps the daytime
running light lamps are switched off when
main or dipped beam is activated.
On cars with active Xenon headlamps
(p. 89) the daytime running light lamps are
switched on with reduced brightness when
main or dipped beam is activated.
WARNING
This system help to save energy - it cannot
determine in all situations when daylight is
too weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mist
and rain.
The driver is always responsible for ensur-
ing that the car is driven with the correct
beam pattern for the traffic situation and in
accordance with applicable traffic regula-
tions.

Tunnel detection*
Tunnel detection changes the lighting from
daytime running lights to dipped beam when
the car is driven into a tunnel. Approx. 20 sec-
onds after the car has left the tunnel, the light-
ing returns to daytime running lights.
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 prevents frequent
changes to the car's beam pattern.
Note that the headlamp control's knob must
remain in
position for tunnel detection
to work.

lamp 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 stopped.
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.
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.
Activating/deactivating
AHB can be activated when the headlamp
control's knob is in position
(provided
that the function has not been deactivated in
the menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR
(p. 108)).
Stalk switch and knob for headlamp control in
AUTO position.
The function can start while driving in the
dark when the car's speed is 20 km/h or
higher.
Activate/deactivate AHB by moving the left-
hand stalk switch towards the steering wheel
to the end position and then releasing. Deac-
tivation when main beam is on means that the
lights are reset directly to dipped beam.

play.
When main beam has been switched on the
symbol also illuminates in the com-

Manual operation
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the
camera sensor free from ice, snow, mist
and dirt.
Do not stick or attach anything to the
windscreen in front of the camera sensor
as this may reduce effectiveness or cause
one or more of the systems dependent on
the camera to stop working.
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 headlamp control can
still remain in position
. The same
applies if the message
Windscreen sensors
blocked See manual
and the symbol
are shown. The
symbol goes out when
these messages are shown.
AHB may be temporarily unavailable e.g. in
situations with dense fog or heavy rain. When
AHB becomes available again, or the wind-
screen sensors are no longer blocked, the
message goes out and the
symbol illu-
minates.
WARNING
AHB is an aid for using the optimum beam
pattern when conditions are favourable.
The driver always bears responsibility for
manually switching between main and
dipped beam when traffic situations or
weather conditions so require.
IMPORTANT
Examples of when manual switching
between main and dipped beam may be
required:
•
In heavy rain or dense fog
•
In freezing rain
•
In snow flurries or slush
•
In moonlight
•
When driving in poorly lit built-up
areas
•
When the traffic ahead has weak light-
ing
•
If there are pedestrians on or beside
the road
•
If there are highly reflective objects
such as signs in the vicinity of the road
•
When the lighting from oncoming traf-
fic is obscured by e.g. a crash barrier
•
When there is traffic on connecting
roads
•
On the brow of a hill or in a hollow
•
In sharp bends.

Rearview mirror - interior
The interior rearview mirror can be dimmed
with a control in the mirror's lower edge.
Alternatively, the rearview mirror dims auto-
matically.
Control for dimming
Manual dimming
Bright light from behind could be reflected in
the rearview mirror and dazzle the driver. Use
dimming with the dimming control when
lights from behind are distracting:
1. Use dimming by moving the control in
towards the passenger compartment.
2. Return to normal position by moving the
control towards the windscreen.
Automatic dimming*
Bright light from behind is automatically

rors with automatic dimming.
The rearview mirror contains two sensors -
one forward facing and one rearward facing -
that work together to identify and eliminate
dazzling light. The forward facing sensor
detects ambient light, while the rearward fac-
ing sensor detects the light from vehicle
headlights behind.
NOTE
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking
permits, transponders, sun visors or
objects in the seats or in the cargo area in
such a way that light is prevented from
reaching the sensors, then the dimming
function of the rearview mirror is reduced.

Compass
The rearview mirror contains an integrated
display that shows the compass direction in
which the front of the car is pointing.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview
mirror has an integrated display that shows
the compass direction in which the front of
the car is pointing. Eight different directions
are shown with English abbreviations:
N
(north), NE (north east), E (east), SE (south
east), S (south), SW (south west), W (west)
and NW (north west).
The compass* is activated automatically
when the car is started or when key position
II is active, see Key positions - functions at
different levels (p. 76). To deactivate/activate
the compass - press in the button on the rear
side of the mirror using a paper clip for exam-
ple.
The compass is deactivated when the heated
windscreen is activated. When the heated
windscreen is deactivated, the compass is
reactivated.
Calibration
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones.
The compass is set for the geographic area to
which the car was delivered. The compass
should be calibrated if the car is moved
across several magnetic zones. Proceed as
follows:
1. Stop the car in a large open area free
from steel structures and high-voltage
power lines.
2. Start the car.
NOTE
For the best calibration, switch off all elec-
trical equipment (climate control system,
wipers, etc.) and makes sure that all doors
are closed.
3. Hold the button on the underside of the
rearview mirror depressed
approx. 3 seconds. The number of the
current magnetic zone is shown.

Magnetic zones.
4. Press the button repeatedly until the
required magnetic zone (
1–15) is shown.
See the map of magnetic zones for the
compass.
5. Wait until the display returns to showing
the character
C, or hold the button on the
bottom of the rearview mirror depressed
for approx. 6 seconds (use e.g. a paper
clip) until the character C is shown.
6. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no
more than 10 km/h until a compass direc-
tion is shown in the display, indicating
that calibration is complete. Then drive a
further 2 circles to fine-tune calibration.
7. Repeat the above procedure as neces-
sary.

Trip computer - supplementary
information
Supplementary information covering several
functions follows below.
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 driv-
ing 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 below."Change unit"
(p. 118)
Range - distance to empty tank
The trip computer shows the approximate
distance that can be driven with the fuel
quantity remaining in the tank.
No guaranteed range remains when the head-
ing
Distance to empty shows "----".
•
In which case, refuel as soon as possible.
The calculation is based on the average fuel
consumption over the last 30 km and the
remaining driveable fuel quantity.
NOTE
There may be a slight deviation if the driv-
ing style has been changed.
An economic driving style generally results in
a longer driving distance. For more informa-
tion on how fuel consumption can be influ-
enced, see Volvo Cars' environmental philos-
ophy (p. 21).
Digital speed display
29
The speed is shown in the opposite unit
(kmh/mph) in relation to the main instrument.
If it is calibrated in mph then the trip com-
puter shows the corresponding speed in
km/h and vice versa.
Change unit
You can change unit (km/miles) for distance
and speed in the menu system MY CAR, see
MY CAR (p. 108).
NOTE
In addition to in the trip computer, these
units are also changed in Volvo's naviga-
tion system*.

General information on climate
control
The car is equipped with electronic climate
control. The climate control system cools or
heats as well as dehumidifies the air in the
passenger compartment.
There are two different climate control sys-
tems:
•
Electronic temperature control (ETC)
(p. 128)
•
Electronic climate control (ECC) (p. 127)
NOTE
Air conditioning (AC) (p. 131) can be
switched off, but to ensure the best possi-
ble climate comfort in the passenger com-
partment, and to prevent the windows
from misting, it should always be switched
on.
To bear in mind
•
To ensure that the air conditioning works
optimally, the side windows must be
closed.
•
Global opening (p. 173) 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
control 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 tem-
perature in the passenger compartment.
•
Remove misting on the insides of the win-
dows primarily by using the defroster
function (p. 132). To reduce the risk of
misting, keep the windows clean and use
window cleaner.
Cars with Start/Stop*
With an auto-stopped (p. 276) engine certain
equipment may have its function temporarily
reduced, e.g. climate control fan speed
(p. 130).
Cars with ECO*
Certain equipment may have its function tem-
porarily reduced or deactivated when the
ECO (p. 285) function is activated, e.g. the air
conditioning (p. 131).
NOTE
When the ECO function is activated, sev-
eral parameters in the climate control sys-
tem's settings are changed, and several
electricity consumer functions are
reduced. Certain settings can be reset
manually, but full functionality is only
restored by deactivating the ECO function.

Actual temperature
The temperature you select in the passenger
compartment corresponds to the physical
experience with reference to factors such as
ambient temperature, air speed, humidity and
solar radiation etc. in and around the car at
the time.
The system includes a sun sensor (p. 122)
which detects on which side the sun is shin-
ing into the passenger compartment. This
means
1
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 compart-
ment is cleaned with a filter.
The filter must be replaced at regular inter-
vals. Follow the Volvo Service Programme for
the recommended replacement intervals. If
the car is used in a severely contaminated
environment, it may be necessary to replace
the filter more often.
NOTE
There are different types of passenger
compartment filter. Make sure that the cor-
rect filter is fitted.

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 sub-
stances.
The following is included:
•
An enhanced fan function that means that
the fan starts when the car is opened with
the remote control key. The fan fills the
passenger compartment with fresh air.
The function starts when required and is
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. 124) is a
fully automatic system that cleans the air
in the passenger compartment from con-
taminants such as particles, hydrocar-
bons, nitrous oxides and ground-level
ozone.
NOTE
To maintain the CZIP standard in cars with
CZIP the IAQS filter should be changed
after 15 000 km or once per year depend-
ing on whichever occurs first. However, up
to 75 000 km over 5 years. In cars without
CZIP and where the customer does not
want to retain the CZIP standard, the IAQS
filter must be replaced during a regular
service.
For more information on CZIP, see the bro-
chure included with the purchase of the car.

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 in order to shut out hydrocar-
bons, nitrous oxides and ground-level ozone.
The air is recirculated in the passenger com-
partment.
It is possible to activate/deactivate the func-
tion in the menu system MY CAR. For a
description of the menu system, see MY CAR
(p. 108).
NOTE
The air quality sensor must always be ena-
bled to ensure the best air in the passen-
ger compartment.
In a cold climate, automatic recirculation is
limited so as to prevent misting.

Air quality - material
Tested materials have been developed in
order to minimise the quantity of dust in the
passenger compartment and to contribute to
making the passenger compartment easier to
keep clean.
The carpets in both the passenger compart-
ment and the cargo area are removable and
easy to remove and clean. Use cleaning

Engine block heater and passenger
compartment heater*
Preconditioning prepares the heater, engine
and passenger compartment before depar-
ture so that both wear and energy needs dur-
ing the journey are reduced. Warming up your
car will also extend the driving distance.
The heater can be started directly (p. 137) or
with a timer (p. 138).
The heater cannot start if the outside tem-
perature exceeds 15 °C. At –5 °C or lower the
maximum running time of the heater is 50
minutes.
WARNING
Do not use the fuel-driven heater indoors.
Exhaust gases are secreted.
NOTE
When the fuel-driven auxiliary heater is
active there may be smoke from under-
neath the car, which is perfectly normal.
Refuelling

WARNING
Fuel which spills out could be ignited.
Switch off the fuel-driven auxiliary heater
before starting to refuel.
Check in the combined instrument panel
that the heater is switched off. The heat
symbol is shown when it is operating.
Parking on a hill
If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of
the car should point downhill to ensure that
there is a supply of fuel to the fuel-driven
heater.
Battery and fuel
If the battery has insufficient charge or the
fuel level is too low, the heater will be
switched off automatically and a message
appears in the display. Acknowledge the
message by pressing the indicator stalk
(p. 105) OK button once.
IMPORTANT
Repeated use of the heater in combination
with short driving distances may cause low
charge level in the starter battery, this can
lead to the heater stopping or never star-
ting. In the worst case, engine starting will
not be possible.
The car should be driven for the same time
as the heater is used to ensure that the
starter battery is recharged adequately to
replace the energy consumed by the
heater when it is used on a regular basis.
The heater is used for a maximum of 50
minutes each time.

tion of the WHIPS system for the front seats if
any of the rear seat's backrests is folded
down, see WHIPS - seating position (p. 38).
•
Centre the load.
•
Heavy objects should be placed as low
as possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on
lowered backrests.
•
Cover sharp edges with something soft to
avoid damaging the upholstery.
•
Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-
lets with straps or web lashings.
WARNING
A loose object weighing 20 kg can, in a
frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h,
carry the impact of an item weighing
1000 kg.
WARNING
The protection provided by the inflatable
curtain in the headlining may be compro-
mised or eliminated by high loads.
•
Never load cargo above the backrest.
WARNING
Always secure the load. Always secure the
load. During heavy braking the load may
otherwise shift, causing personal injury to
the car's occupants.

Cargo net
A cargo net prevents cargo from being
thrown forward in the passenger compart-
ment in the event of heavy braking.
The cargo net is fitted into four mounting points.
For safety reasons, the cargo net must
always be correctly fastened and secured.
The mesh is made of a strong nylon fabric
and secured behind the front seat backrests.
WARNING
Loads in the luggage compartment must
be anchored well, and also have a cor-
rectly fitted safety net.
Attaching
NOTE
The easiest way to fit the safety net is via
one of the rear doors.
WARNING
It is necessary to ensure that the upper
securing points of the safety net are fitted
correctly and that the puller-straps are
secured properly. Damaged nets must not
be used.
1. Unfold the cargo net and make sure that
the split upper rod is locked in the
extended position.
2. Hook one end of the rod into the roof
mounting with the anchoring strap locks
turned towards you.
3. Hook the other end of the rod into the
roof mounting on the opposite side - the
telescopic spring-loaded retaining hooks
facilitate alignment. Take care to press
forward the rod's retaining hooks for each
respective roof mounting's front end posi-
tion.

4. Hook the cargo net's anchoring straps
into the eyes on the rear of the seat slide
rails - it is easier if the backrests are
straightened and the seats are moved
forward slightly.
Pay attention to make sure that you do
not press the seat/backrest hard against
the net when the seat/backrest is moved
back again - only adjust until the seat/
backrest makes contact with the net.
IMPORTANT
If a seat/backrest is pushed backwards
hard into the safety net then the net and/or
its roof mounts may be damaged.
5. Tension the cargo net with the anchoring
straps.
Removal and storage
The cargo net can be easily removed and folded
up.
Release the tension in the net by pressing
in the button on the anchoring strap's
lock and feeding out part of the strap.
Press in the catch and detach both of the
anchoring strap's hooks.
Unhook the rod from its roof mounting by
pulling back on the rod in the roof mount-
ings' rear end position. Press the rod in
any direction so that the hook engages in
the rod, which at the same time releases
the hook on the other side.
Finally, remove the remaining roof mount-
ing hook from the roof mounting.
4. Break the rod in the centre, fold it
together and roll up the net.
Insert the net in the storage bag.
The folded cargo net is stored in its bag in the
cargo area.

Remote control key - personalisation*
The key memory in the remote control key
means that certain settings in the car can be
individually adapted for different people.
The key memory function is available in com-
bination with power* driver's seat (p. 79).
Settings for door mirrors (p. 101), driver's
seat, steering force (p. 258) and the com-
bined instrument panel's theme, contrast and
colour mode (p. 62) can be stored in the key
memory, depending on the car's equipment
level.
The function
1
can be activated/deactivated in
the menu system MY CAR. For a description
of the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 108).
When the function is activated, the settings
are automatically linked to the key memory.
This means that a change in a setting will
automatically be saved in the specific remote
control key's memory.
Storing settings
Make sure that the key memory function is
activated in the menu system MY CAR.
Proceed as follows in order to store the set-
tings and use the key memory in the remote
control key:
1. Unlock the car with the remote control
key in whose memory the setting
2
shall
be stored.
2. Make the desired settings for e.g. the
seat and the door mirrors.
3. 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 auto-
matically - providing 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. Ensure
that none of the rear seat passengers 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.
•
Select one of three possible memories for
seat adjustment with seat button 1-3.

(Personal Car Communicator) for unlocking
the doors and tailgate is approx. 20 metres
from the car - the other functions are up to
approx. 100 metres. If the car does not verify
a button being pressed - move closer and try
again.
NOTE
The information button function may be
disrupted by surrounding radio waves,
buildings, topographical conditions, etc.
Out of range
If the remote control key is too far away from
the car for the information to be read then the
status the car was last left in is shown, with-
out the light travelling around on the remote
control key.
If several remote control keys are used for the
car then it is only the remote control key last
used for locking/unlocking that shows the
correct status.
NOTE
If none of the indicator lamps illumi-
nates with repeated use of the information
button and in different locations (as well as
after 7 seconds and after the light has
travelled around on the PCC), contact a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended.

have the remote control key with you in a
pocket. The system makes it easier and more
convenient to e.g. open the car when your
hands are full.
Both of the remote control keys included with
the car have Keyless functionality. It is possi-
ble to order more remote control keys.
The car's electrical system can be set to
three different levels - key position 0, I and II
(p. 76) - with the remote control key.

It is important to handle all remote control
keys with great care.
If one of the remote control keys

has been
left in the car then the Keyless functionality is
deactivated in case the car is e.g. locked with
the other remote control key that belongs to
the car. This prevents unauthorised entry.
The next time the car is unlocked with the
other remote control key the forgotten remote
control key is reactivated again.

Alarm
The alarm is a device that warns in the event
of e.g. a break-in in the car.
Activated alarm is triggered if:
•
a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened
•
a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement
detector*)
•
the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector*)
•
the battery's cable is disconnected
•
the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system then the
information display in the combined instru-
ment panel shows a message. In which case,
contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in
the event of movement in the passenger
compartment - air currents are also regis-
tered. For this reason the alarm is trig-
gered if the car is left with a window open
or if the passenger compartment heater is
used.
To avoid this: Close the window when
leaving the car. If the car's integrated pas-
senger compartment heater (or a portable
electric heater) shall be used - direct the
airflow from the air vents so that they are
not pointing upwards in the passenger
compartment. Alternatively, reduced alarm
level can be used, Reduced alarm level
(p. 180).
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter compo-
nents in the alarm system yourself. Any
such attempts may affect the terms of the
insurance.
Arming the alarm
– Press the remote control key lock button.
Deactivate the alarm
– Press the remote control key unlock but-
ton.
Deactivating a triggered alarm

•
The LED flashes rapidly after disarming
the alarm (and until the remote control
key is inserted in the ignition switch and
key position I is selected) – Alarm has
been triggered.
Alarm - automatic re-arming
Automatic re-arming of the alarm (p. 178) pre-
vents the car being left with the alarm dis-
armed unintentionally.
If the car is unlocked with the remote control
key (p. 156)(and the alarm is disarmed) but
none of the doors or the tailgate is opened
within 2 minutes, then the alarm is automati-
cally re-armed. The car is relocked at the

Alarm - remote control key not
working
If the alarm (p. 178) cannot be deactivated
with the remote control key, e.g. if the key's
battery (p. 165) is discharged - the car can be
unlocked, disarmed and the engine started as
follows:
1. Open the left-hand front door with the
detachable key blade (p. 169).
> The alarm is triggered, the direction
indicators flash and the siren sounds.
2. Insert the remote control key in the igni-
tion switch.
> The alarm is deactivated.
Alarm signals
When the alarm (p. 178) is triggered a siren
sounds and all direction indicators flash.
•
A siren sounds for 30 seconds or until the
alarm is switched off. The siren has its
own battery and works independently of
the car battery.
•
The direction indicators flash for 5
minutes or until the alarm is switched off.
Reduced alarm level
Reduced guard means that the movement
and tilt detectors can be temporarily deacti-
vated.
To avoid accidental triggering of the alarm -
e.g. if a dog is left in a locked car or during
transport on a car train or car ferry - tempo-
rarily deactivate the movement and tilt detec-
tors.
The procedure is the same as with the tem-
porary disengaging of deadlocks, see Dead-

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
during braking may be noticed as a
throbbing sound. The car may
accelerate slower than expected
when the accelerator 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 appli-
cable road traffic rules and regulations are
followed.
The ESC system consists of the following
functions:
•
Active Yaw Control
•
Spin Control
•
Traction control system
•
Engine drag control - EDC
•
Corner Traction Control - CTC
•
Driver Steering Recommendation – DSR
•
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 reduces engine power if the
drive wheels slip against the underlying sur-
face in order to maintain stability and traction.
Traction control system
The function is active at low speed and trans-
fers power from the driving wheel that is spin-
ning to the one that is not.
Engine drag control - EDC
EDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun-
tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or
engine braking when driving in low gears on
slippery road surfaces.
Involuntary wheel locking while driving can,
amongst other things, impair the driver's abil-
ity to steer the car.
Corner Traction Control - CTC
CTC (Corner Traction Control) compensates
for understeer and allows higher than normal
acceleration in a bend without wheelspin on
the inner wheel, e.g. on an arcing motorway
entrance road to quickly reach the prevailing
traffic speed.
Driver Steering Recommendation – DSR
DSR (Driver Steering Recommendation) helps
the driver steer the car in the right direction
when there is reduced traction or when the
ABS system engages.
The primary role of the DSR function is to
help the driver steer in the right direction
when the car is skidding.
DSR engages by applying slight torque to the
steering wheel in the direction in which the
car should be steered to maintain/achieve
maximum possible traction and stabilise the
car.
Trailer Stability Assist* - TSA
1
Trailer stability assist (p. 308) function is to
stabilise the car and trailer combination if it
begins to snake. For more information, see
Driving with a trailer (p. 301).
NOTE
The function is deactivated if the driver
selects Sport mode.

Electronic stability control (ESC) -
operation
Selection of level - Sport mode
The ESC system is always activated - it can-
not be deactivated.
However, the driver can
select the Sport mode,
which allows for a more
active driving experience.
In Sport mode the system
detects whether the acceler-
ator pedal, steering wheel movements and
cornering are more active than in normal driv-
ing and then allows controlled skidding with
the rear section up to a certain level before it
intervenes and stabilises the car.
If the driver stops a controlled skid by releas-
ing the accelerator pedal, for example, 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.
Proceed as follows to select Sport mode:
Sport mode is selected in the menu system
MY CAR. For a description of the menu sys-
tem, see MY CAR (p. 108).
Sport mode is indicated in the com-
bined instrument panel by means of
this symbol illuminating with a con-
stant glow until the driver deselects
the function or until the engine is switched off
- after the next time the engine is started the
ESC system is back in its normal mode once
again.

Road Sign Information (RSI)
The road sign information function (RSI –
Road Sign Information) helps the driver to
remember which road signs the car has
passed.
Examples of readable speed related
2
signs.
The road sign information function gives
information on current speed, that a motor-
way or road is starting/ending and when
overtaking is prohibited. If both a sign for
motorway/road for motorised traffic and a
sign showing the maximum permitted speed
are passed, RSI decides to show the sign
symbol for maximum permitted speed.
WARNING
RSI does not work in all situations but is
designed merely as a supplementary aid.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely and that applicable road traffic rules
and regulations are followed.

End of restriction or motorway
A corresponding road sign is shown in the
combined instrument panel for
approx. 10 seconds in situations where RSI
detects a sign that involves the end of a
speed limit - or other speed-related informa-
tion, e.g. end of a motorway.
Examples of such signs are:
End of all restrictions.
End of motorway.
Following which, the sign information is hid-
den until the next speed-related sign is
detected.
Additional signs
Examples of additional signs
3
.
Sometimes different speed limits are signpos-
ted for the same road - an additional sign
then indicates the circumstances under which
the different speeds apply. The road section
may be particularly susceptible to accidents
in rain and/or fog, for example.
An additional sign relating to rain is displayed
only if the windscreen wipers are in use.
The speed applicable on an
exit is indicated in certain
markets by means of an
additional sign containing an
arrow.
Speed signs linked to this
type of additional sign are displayed only if
the driver is using the direction indicator.
Some speeds are applicable
only after e.g. a specific dis-
tance or at a certain time of
day. The driver's attention is
drawn to the situation by
means of a symbol for an
additional sign under the
symbol showing speed.
Display of additional information
A symbol for additional sign
in the form of an empty
frame under the combined
instrument panel's speed
symbol means that the RSI
has detected an additional
sign with supplementary
information for the current speed limit.

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. 202)
and time interval to the car in front. When the
radar detector detects a slower vehicle in
front of the car, the speed is automatically
adapted to that. When the road is clear again
the car returns to the selected speed.
If the adaptive cruise control is switched off
or set to standby mode and the car comes
too close to a vehicle in front, then the driver
is warned instead by a Distance Alert (p. 213)
about the short distance.
WARNING
The driver must always be observant with
regard to the traffic conditions and inter-
vene when the adaptive cruise control is
not maintaining a suitable speed or suita-
ble 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 con-
trol is being used.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of adaptive cruise control
components must only be performed at a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended.
Automatic gearbox
Cars with automatic gearbox have enhanced
functionality with the adaptive cruise control's
Queue assistance (p. 205) function.

Adaptive cruise control consists of a cruise
control system and a coordinated spacing
system.
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision
avoidance system. The driver must inter-
vene if the system does not detect a vehi-
cle in front.
The adaptive cruise control does not brake
for humans or animals, and not for small
vehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-
cles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary
vehicles and objects.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for
example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at
junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot
of water or slush on the road, in heavy
rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding
roads or on slip roads.
The distance to the vehicle ahead is mainly
measured by a radar sensor. The cruise con-
trol function regulates the speed with acceler-
ation 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.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the
vehicle ahead in the same lane according to
what the driver set for time interval (p. 203). 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. 208) braking may come unexpect-
edly or not at all.
The adaptive cruise control can be activated
to follow another vehicle at speeds from
30 km/h
10
up to 200 km/h. If the speed falls
below 30 km/h or if the engine speed
becomes too low, the cruise control is set in
standby mode at which automatic braking
ceases - the driver must then take over him-
self/herself to maintain a safe distance to the
vehicle ahead.
Warning lamp - braking by driver
required
Adaptive cruise control has a braking
capacity that is equivalent to approx. 40% of
the car's braking capacity.
1. Collision warning system warning lamp and
warning sound
11
.
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 warning sound from the Collision
warning system (p. 223) are used in order to
alert the driver that immediate intervention is
required.
NOTE
The warning lamp may be difficult to see in
strong sunlight or when wearing sun-
glasses.
WARNING
The adaptive cruise control only warns of
vehicles which the radar sensor has
detected. Hence the warning may not be
given, or it may be given with a certain
delay. Do not wait for a warning without
braking when so required.
Steep roads and/or heavy load
Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control
is primarily intended for use when driving on
level road surfaces. It may have difficulty in
keeping the correct distance from the vehicle
ahead when driving on steep downhill slopes,
with a heavy load or with a trailer - in which
case, be extra attentive and ready to slow
down.

Adaptive cruise control* - managing
speed
To switch on ACC:
•
Press the steering wheel button
- a
similar WHITE symbol illuminates in the
combined instrument panel (8) which
shows that the adaptive cruise control is
in standby mode (p. 203).
To activate ACC:
•
At the required speed - press the steering
wheel button
or .
> The current speed is stored in the mem-
ory, 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, 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 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 vehi-
cle in front.
Changing the stored speed
Stored speed is changed with short or long
presses on the
or button.
To adjust +/- 5 km/h:
•
Use short presses - each press gives
+/- 5 km/h.
To adjust +/- 1 km/h:
•
Hold the button depressed and release
when the combined instrument panel's
mark is by the desired 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 accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the setting - the car returns to the last
stored speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
NOTE
If any of the adaptive cruise control but-
tons are held depressed for several
minutes then the function is blocked and
deactivated. To be able to reactivate it, the
car must be stopped and the engine
restarted.
In certain situations it cannot be reactiva-
ted - in which case, the combined instru-
ment panel (p. 211) shows
Adaptive
cruise control unavailable.

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 horizontal lines - the
more lines the longer the
time interval. One line corre-
sponds to approximately 1 second to the
vehicle in front, 5 lines
approximately 3 seconds.
To set/change the time distance:
•
Turn the steering wheel button set's
thumbwheel (or use the
/ buttons for
cars without Speed limiters).
At low speed, when the distances are short,
the adaptive cruise control increases the time
interval slightly.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time
interval to vary noticeably in certain situations
in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle
in front smoothly and comfortably.
Note that a short time interval only allows the
driver a short time to react and take action if
any unforeseen traffic problem should arise.
The same symbol is also shown when Dis-
tance Alert (p. 213) 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 vehi-
cle in front is preventing an increase in
speed.
The higher the speed the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a given time
interval.

The driver must then regulate the speed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the setting - the car returns to the last
stored speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
For more information, see the sections Man-
aging speed (p. 202) and Overtaking another
vehicle (p. 204).
Automatic standby mode
The adaptive cruise control is dependent on
other systems, e.g. Stability system ESC
(p. 183). If any of these systems stops work-
ing, the adaptive 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 inter-
vene 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/h
14
•
wheels lose traction
•
brake temperature is high
•
the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet
snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).

Adaptive Cruise Control* - queue
assistance
Queue assistance also provides the adaptive
cruise control with enhanced functionality at
speeds lower than 30 km/h.
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 and at stationary
•
Change of target
•
Automatic braking ceases when station-
ary
Note that the lowest programmable speed for
the adaptive cruise control is 30 km/h - even
though the cruise control is capable of follow-
ing another vehicle down to a standstill, a
lower speed cannot be selected.
Learn more about how you manage the
speed (p. 198) and different time intervals to
the vehicle in front (p. 203).
Extended speed range
NOTE
In order to activate the cruise control the
driver's door must be closed and the driver
must be wearing the seatbelt.
With an automatic gearbox, the adaptive
cruise control can follow another vehicle
within the range 0-200 km/h.
NOTE
Activation of the cruise control below
30 km/h requires a vehicle in front within a
reasonable distance.
For shorter stops in connection with inching
in slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is
automatically resumed if the stops do not
exceed approx. 3 seconds - if it takes longer
before the car in front starts moving again
then the cruise control is set in standby mode
(p. 203) with automatic braking. The driver
must then reactivate it in one of the following
ways:
•
Press the steering wheel button
.
or
•
Depress the accelerator pedal.
> The cruise control will then resume fol-
lowing the vehicle in front.

NOTE
Queue Assist can keep the car stationary
for a maximum of 4 minutes - then the
brakes release.
See more information under the header
below, "Cessation of automatic braking
when stationary".
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 lower than
30 km/h and changes target from a moving to
a stationary vehicle, the cruise control will
slow down for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When the adaptive cruise control is follow-
ing a vehicle ahead at speeds in excess of
30 km/h and the target is changed from a
vehicle ahead to a stationary vehicle, the
cruise control will ignore the stationary
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 and
cruise control is not sure whether the tar-
get object is a stationary vehicle or some
other object, e.g. a speed bump.
•
when the speed is below 5 km/h and the
vehicle in front turns off so the cruise
control no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Termination of automatic braking at a
standstill
In the following situations, queue assistance
stops automatic braking at a standstill:
•
the driver opens the door
•
the driver takes off his seatbelt.
This means that the brakes are released and
the car will start to roll - the driver must there-
fore intervene and brake the car himself in
order to maintain its position.
IMPORTANT
Queue Assist can keep the car stationary
for a maximum of 4 minutes - then the
brakes release.
The driver's attention is drawn to this over
several stages, with increasing intensity:
1. Acoustic alarm (pinging) and text mes-
sage.
2. A warning lamp in the windscreen also
starts to flash.
3. "Stabbing" braking occurs.
For more information on symbols, mes-
sages and their meaning, see the section
Symbols and messages in the dis-
play (p. 211).
Queue assistance releases the foot brake and
is set to standby mode in these situations as
well:
•
the driver puts his/her foot on the brake
pedal
•
the gear selector is moved to P, N or R
position
•
the driver sets the cruise control in
standby mode
•
the parking brake is applied.

in the same lane.
The radar sensor is used by the following
functions:
•
Distance Warning*
•
Adaptive cruise control*
•
Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Pedestrian Detection*
IMPORTANT
In the event of visible damage to the car's
grille, or if you suspect that the radar sen-
sor may be damaged:
•
Contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
The function may completely or partially
disappear - or malfunction - if the grille,

Radar sensor - limitations
A radar sensor (p. 208) 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 signifi-
cantly 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 sen-
sor.
NOTE
Keep the surface in front of the radar sen-
sor clean.
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.
ACC field of vision.
Sometimes the radar sensor is late at
detecting vehicles at close distances -
e.g. a vehicle that drives in between the
car and vehicles in front.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles not driving in the centre of the
lane can remain undetected.
In bends the radar sensor may detect the
wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehicle
from view.

Adaptive cruise control* - fault tracing
and action
If the combined instrument panel shows the
message

means that the adaptive cruise control's radar
sensor (p. 208) cannot detect other vehicles
in front of the car.
This message indicates that neither of the
functions for Distance Alert (p. 213) or Colli-
sion Warning with Auto Brake (p. 223) are
working.
The following table presents examples of
possible causes for a message being shown
along with the appropriate action:
Cause Action
The radar surface in the grille is dirty or covered with ice or snow. Clean the radar surface in the grille from dirt, ice and snow.
Heavy rain or snow blocking the radar signals. No action. Sometimes the radar does not work during heavy rain or snowfall.
Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the
radar signals.
No action. Sometimes the radar does not work on a very wet or snowy road
surface.
The radar surface has been cleaned but the message remains. Wait. It could take several minutes for the radar to sense that it is no longer
blocked.

Distance Warning* - limitations
This function, which uses the same radar
sensor as Adaptive cruise control (p. 198) and
Collision warning with auto brake (p. 223),
has certain limitations.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia-
tions in light intensity, as well as wearing
sunglasses, could mean that the warning
light in the windscreen cannot be seen.
Poor weather or winding roads could
affect the radar sensor's capacity to detect
vehicles in front.
The size of other vehicles could also affect
detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. This
could mean that the warning lamp illumi-
nates at a shorter distance than the setting
or that the warning is temporarily absent.
Extremely high speeds can also cause the
lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance
than that set due to limitations in sensor
range.

City 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 traffic ahead, combined with a lapse in
attention, could lead to an incident.
The City Safety™ function is active at speeds
under 50 km/h and it helps the driver by auto-
matically braking the car in the event of immi-
nent 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
intervention.
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 colli-
sion 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. 223) 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 driv-
ing situations or traffic, weather or road
conditions.
City Safety™ does not react to vehicles
driving in a different direction from the car,
to small vehicles and motorcycles or to
people and animals.
City Safety™ can prevent collision at a
speed difference of less than 15 km/h - at
a higher speed difference, it is only possi-
ble 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
maintaining the proper distance and
speed.

City Safety™ - function
City Safety™ detects the traffic in front of the
car with a laser sensor (p. 220) fitted in the
top edge of the windscreen. If there is an
imminent risk of collision, City Safety™ will
automatically brake the car, which may be
experienced as sudden braking.

Laser sensor transmitter and receiver window
17
.
If the speed difference is 4-15 km/h in relation
to the vehicle in front then City Safety™ can
completely prevent a collision.
City Safety™ activates a short, sharp braking
and stops the car in normal circumstances,
just behind the vehicle in front. For most dri-
vers this is well outside normal driving style
and may be experienced as being uncomfort-
able.
If the difference in speed between the vehi-
cles is greater than 15 km/h then City
Safety™ may not prevent the collision on its
own. To obtain full brake force, the driver
must depress the brake pedal. This could
then make it possible to prevent a collision,
even at speed differences above 15 km/h.
When the function is activated and brakes,
the combined instrument panel shows a mes-
sage (p. 222) to the effect that the function
is/has been active.
NOTE
When City Safety™ brakes, the brake
lights come on.

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
projecting load, or accessories such as auxili-
ary lamps and bull bars that are higher than
the bonnet limit the function.
The laser light 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 dis-
tance is extended, which may reduce the
capacity of City Safety™ to avoid a collision.
In such situations the ABS
18
and ESC
19
sys-
tems will provide best possible braking force
with maintained stability.
When your own car is reversing, City Safety™
is temporarily deactivated.
City Safety™ is not activated at low speeds -
under 4 km/h, which is why the system does
not intervene in situations where a vehicle in
front is being approached very slowly, e.g.
when parking.
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 colli-
sion is unavoidable.
When City Safety™ has prevented a collision
with a stationary object the car remains sta-
tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If the
car is braked for a vehicle in front that is mov-
ing, 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 (p. 220) free from
ice, snow and dirt. For an illustration of
sensor location, see City Safety™ -
function (p. 216).
•
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 (p. 222) Windscreen
sensors blocked See manual is shown in
the combined instrument panel it indicates
that the laser sensor is blocked and cannot
detect vehicles in front of the car. This means
that City Safety™ is not operational.
The
Windscreen sensors blocked See
manual message is not shown for all situa-
tions 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
suggestions for appropriate action.
Cause Action
The windscreen sur-
face in front of the
laser sensor 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
blocking 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 con-
tacted for replacement of the windscreen -
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended. For an illustration of sensor loca-
tion, see City Safety™ - function (p. 216).
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
following also applies:
•
Volvo recommends that you do not
repair cracks, scratches or stone chips
in the area in front of the laser sensor -
instead, the whole windscreen should
be replaced.
•
Before replacing a windscreen, con-
tact an authorised Volvo workshop to
verify that the correct windscreen is
ordered and fitted.
•
The same type or Volvo-approved
windscreen wipers must be fitted dur-
ing replacement.

City Safety™ - laser sensor
The City Safety™ function includes a sensor
which transmits laser light. Contact a qualified
workshop in the event of a fault or if the laser
sensor needs servicing - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended. It is absolutely
essential to follow the prescribed instructions
when handling the laser sensor.
The following two labels relate to the laser
sensor:
The upper label in the figure describes the
laser beam's classification:
•
Laser radiation - Do not look into the
laser beam with optical instruments -
Class 1M laser product.
The lower label in the figure describes the
laser beam's physical data:
•
IEC 60825-1:1993 + A2:2001. Complies
with FDA (U.S. Food Administration)
standards for laser product design with
the exception of deviations in accordance
with "Laser Notice No. 50" from
26 July 2001.
Radiation data for the laser sensor
The following table specifies the laser sen-
sor's physical data.
Maximum pulse energy 2.64 µJ
Maximum average output 45 mW
Pulse duration 33 ns
Divergence (horizontal x verti-
cal)
28° × 12°
WARNING
If any of these instructions are not followed
then there is a risk of eye injury!
•
Never look into the laser sensor (which
emits spreading invisible laser radia-
tion) at a distance of 100 mm or closer
with magnifying optics such as a mag-
nifying glass, microscope, lens or simi-
lar optical instruments.
•
Testing, repair, removal, adjustment
and/or replacement of the laser sen-
sor's spare parts must only be carried
out by a qualified workshop - we rec-
ommend an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
•
To avoid exposure to harmful radia-
tion, do not carry out any readjust-
ments or maintenance other than
those specified here.
•
The repairer must follow specially
drawn up workshop information for the
laser sensor.
•
Do not remove the laser sensor (this
includes removing the lenses). A
removed laser sensor fulfils 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
windscreen.

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 collid-
ing with a pedestrian, cyclist or vehicle in
front that are stationary or moving in the same
direction.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is activated
in situations where the driver should have
started braking earlier, which is why it cannot
help the driver in every situation.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is designed
to be activated as late as possible in order to
avoid unnecessary intervention.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" can pre-
vent 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 Warning with Auto Brake to do
the braking, there might be a risk of a colli-
sion sooner or later.
Two system levels
Depending on how the car is equipped, the
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" function
may appear in two variants:
Level 1
The driver is merely warned
20
of occurring
obstacles 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 him-
self 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 recom-
mended.

3.
Auto Brake
22
The collision warning system and City
Safety™ (p. 216) complement each other.
1 - Collision warning
The driver is first warned of a potentially
imminent collision.
The collision warning system can detect
pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles that are sta-
tionary or moving in the same direction in
front of the driver's vehicle.
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 support
If the risk of collision has increased further
after the collision warning then the brake sup-
port 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 imple-
mented.
Brake support also reinforces the driver's
braking if the system considers that the brak-
ing is not sufficient to avoid a collision.
3 - Auto Brake
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 brak-
ing 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 "Func-
tion" and the section "Limitations" inform
about limitations that the driver must be
aware of before using the Collision Warn-
ing system with Auto Brake.
Warnings and brake interventions for
pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated at
a vehicle speed exceeding 80 km/h.
Warnings and brake interventions for
pedestrians and cyclists do not work in
darkness and tunnels - not even when
streetlights are lit.
The auto-brake function can prevent a col-
lision 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 cor-
rect distance and speed are maintained -
even when the collision warning system
with auto-brake is used.

who are travelling in the same direction.
Optimal example of what the system interprets
as a cyclist - with clear body and bicycle con-
tours, directly from behind and in the car's cen-

Optimal performance of the system requires
that the system function that detects a cyclist
receives as unambiguous information as pos-
sible 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 system cannot detect a cyclist.
•
For the function to be able to detect a
cyclist, he/she must be an adult and rid-
ing an "adult bicycle".
•
The function can only detect cyclists
directly from behind and who are travel-

Warning distance in
Collision warning in the menu system
MY CAR (p. 108) - and there select Long,
Normal or Short.
The warning distance determines the sys-
tem's sensitivity. Warning distance
Long pro-
vides an earlier warning. First test with Long
and if this setting produces too many warn-
ings, which could be perceived as irritating in
certain situations, then change to warning
distance
Normal.
Only use warning distance Short in excep-
tional 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
Alert (p. 213) set at time interval 4–5.

WARNING
No automatic system can guarantee
100 % correct function in all situations.
Therefore, never test Collision Warning

Collision warning system* - limitations
The function has certain limitations - for
example, it is not active until approx. 4 km/h.
The collision warning system's visual warning
signal may be difficult to notice in the event of
strong sunlight, reflections, when sunglasses
are being worn or if the driver is not looking
straight ahead. The warning sound should
therefore always be activated.
On slippery road surfaces the braking dis-
tance is extended, which may reduce the
capacity to avoid a collision. In such situa-
tions the ABS and ESC (p. 183) systems will
provide best possible braking force with
maintained stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal can be temporar-
ily disengaged in the event of high passen-
ger compartment temperature caused by
strong sunlight for example. If this occurs
then the warning sound is activated even if
it is deactivated in the menu system.
•
Warnings may not appear if the dis-
tance to the vehicle in front is small or
if steering wheel and pedal move-
ments are large, e.g. a very active driv-
ing style.

WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions could be
implemented late or not at all if the traffic
situation or external influences mean that
the radar or camera sensor cannot detect
a pedestrian, a vehicle or a cyclist in front
correctly.
The sensor system has a limited range for
pedestrians and cyclists
26
- the system
can provide effective warnings and brake
interventions for them at vehicle speeds up
to 50 km/h. For stationary or slow-moving
vehicles, warnings and brake interventions
are effective at vehicle speeds up to
70 km/h.
Warnings for stationary or slow-moving
vehicles could be disengaged due to dark-
ness or poor visibility.
Warnings and brake interventions for
pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated at
vehicle speeds exceeding 80 km/h.
The collision warning system uses the same
radar sensors as the adaptive cruise control
(p. 198).
If warnings are perceived as being too fre-
quent or disturbing then the warning distance
can be reduced. This then leads to the sys-
tem providing a warning at a later stage,
which reduces the total number of warnings;
see Collision warning system - operation
(p. 227).
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is tempo-
rarily deactivated with reverse gear engaged.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is not acti-
vated at low speeds - under 4 km/h, which is
why the system does not intervene in situa-
tions 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
warning 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 sta-
tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If the
car is braked for a vehicle in front that is mov-
ing, 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
The function uses the car's camera sensor,
which has certain limitations.
The car’s camera sensor is also used - as
well as by Collision Warning with Auto Brake
- by the functions:
•
Active high beam (p. 87)
•
Road sign information (p. 187)
•
Driver Alert Control - DAC (p. 232)
•
Lane Keeping Aid (p. 235).
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the
camera sensor free from ice, snow, mist
and dirt.
Do not stick or attach anything to the
windscreen in front of the camera sensor
as this may reduce effectiveness or cause
one or more of the systems dependent on
the camera to stop working.
The camera sensors have limitations similar
to the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in
darkness, heavy snowfall or rain and in thick
fog for example. Under such conditions the
functions of camera-dependent systems
could be significantly reduced or temporarily
disengaged.
26
For cyclists, the warning and full brake intervention may come very late or simultaneously.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Strong oncoming light, reflections in the car-
riageway, snow or ice on the road surface,
dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markings
could also significantly reduce camera sensor
function when it is used to scan the carriage-
way and detect pedestrians and other vehi-
cles.
The field of vision of the camera sensor is lim-
ited, which is why pedestrians, cyclists and
vehicles cannot be detected in some situa-
tions, or they are detected later than anticipa-
ted.
During very high temperatures the camera is
temporarily switched off for
approx. 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
Collision Warning with Auto Brake - the Auto-
matic main/dipped beam dimming, Road Sign
Information, Driver Alert Control and Lane
Keeping Aid functions will not have full func-
tionality either.
The following table presents possible causes
for a message being shown along with the
appropriate action.
Cause Action
The windscreen
surface in front of
the camera is dirty
or covered with ice
or snow.
Clean the wind-
screen surface in
front of the camera
from dirt, ice and
snow.
Thick fog, heavy
rain or snow means
that the camera
does not work suffi-
ciently well.
No action. At times
the camera does
not work during
heavy rain or snow-
fall.
The windscreen
surface in front of
the camera has
been cleaned but
the message
remains.
Wait. It may take
several minutes for
the camera to
measure the visibil-
ity.
Dirt has appeared
between the inside
of the windscreen
and the camera.
Visit a workshop to

Driver Alert System*
The Driver Alert System is intended to assist
drivers whose driving ability is deteriorating or
who are inadvertently leaving the lane they are
driving on.
The Driver Alert System consists of different
functions which can either be switched on at
the same time or individually:
•
Driver Alert Control - DAC (p. 233).
•
Lane Keeping Aid (p. 237).
A switched-on function is set in standby
mode and is not activated automatically until
speed exceeds 65 km/h.
The function is deactivated again when speed
decreases to below 60 km/h.
The functions use a camera which is depend-
ent on the lane having side markings painted
on each side.
WARNING
Driver Alert System does not work in all
situations but is designed merely as a sup-
plementary aid.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely.
Related information
•
Driver Alert Control (DAC)* (p. 232)
•
Lane Keeping Aid* (p. 235)
Driver Alert Control (DAC)*
DAC is intended to attract the driver's atten-
tion when he/she starts to drive less consis-
tently, e.g. if he/she becomes distracted or
starts to fall asleep.
The objective for DAC is to detect slowly
deteriorating driving ability and it is primarily
intended for major roads.
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
regular intervals, and make sure you are
well rested.
Limitation
In some cases the system may issue a warn-
ing despite driving ability not deteriorating, for
example:
•
in strong side winds
•
on rutted road surfaces.
DAC is not intended for city traffic.
NOTE
The camera sensor has certain limitations,
see Collision warning system* - camera
sensor limitations (p. 229).

WARNING
An alarm should be taken very seriously,
as a sleepy driver is often not aware of
his/her own condition.
In the event of an alarm or a feeling of
tiredness; stop the car in a safe manner as
soon as possible and rest.
Studies have shown that it is equally as
dangerous to drive while tired as it is under
the influence of alcohol.

Lane Keeping Aid*
Lane Keeping Aid is one of the functions in
the Driver Alert System - sometimes also
referred to as LKA (Lane Keeping Aid).
The function is intended for use on motor-
ways and similar major roads in order to
reduce the risk of the vehicle accidentally
leaving its own lane in certain situations.
A camera reads the painted 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 steer-
ing torque in the steering wheel.
If the car reaches or crosses a side line then
Lane Keeping Aid will also alert the driver with
pulsating vibration in the steering wheel.
WARNING
LKA is merely a driver's aid and does not
engage in all driving situations or traffic,
weather or road conditions.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely and that applicable laws and road
traffic regulations are followed.

Off & On
Lane Keeping Aid is active within the speed
range 65-200 km/h on roads with clearly visi-
ble side lines. The function is temporarily
deactivated on narrow roads with less than
2.6 metres between the lane side lines.
Press the button in the centre console to acti-
vate or deactivate the function. An illuminated
lamp in the button shows when the function
is switched on.
Some combinations of the selected equip-
ment leave no vacant space for an On/Off
button in the centre console - in which case,
the function is instead operated in the car's
menu system MY CAR (p. 108). Here, pro-
ceed as follows:

Active steering
Lane Keeping Aid strives to keep the car
within the side lines for the lane.
LKA intervenes and steers away.
If the vehicle approaches the left or right side
line of the lane and the direction indicator is
not activated, the car is steered back into the
lane.
Warning with vibration in the steering
wheel
LKA steers and warns with pulsing steering
wheel vibrations
27
.
If the vehicle crosses a side line then Lane
Keeping Aid alerts the driver with pulsating
vibration in the steering wheel. This occurs
regardless of whether the car is actively
steered back by applying a slight steering tor-
que.
Dynamic cornering
LKA does not engage in sharp inside curves.
In certain cases, Lane Keeping Aid allows the
car to cross side lines without engaging
active steering or alerting with pulsating
vibration in the steering wheel. Using an adja-
cent lane for dynamic cornering when there is
a clear line of vision is an example of one
such case.

Lane Keeping Aid - limitations
•
Lane Keeping Aid's camera sensor has
limitations in a similar way to the human
eye. For more information, see Collision
warning system* - camera sensor limita-
tions (p. 229) and (p. 228).
NOTE
In certain demanding situations LKA may
find it difficult to assist the driver correctly
- in which case it is recommended that
LKA is switched off.
Examples of such a situation could 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 steer-
ing 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.

car and detected obstacle.
Display screen view - showing an obstacle left
front and right rear.
Marked sectors show which of the four sen-
sor(s) detected an obstacle. The closer to the
car symbol a selected sector box is, the
shorter the distance 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 sensors - the pulsating tone may then
unexpectedly 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 par-
ticularly slowly or stop the current
parking manoeuvre - there may be a
high risk of damage to vehicles or
other objects since the sensors are
temporarily unable to function opti-
mally.

Park assist camera
The parking camera is an auxiliary system and
is activated when the reverse gear is selected.
The camera image is shown on the centre
console'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 is an aid and can
never replace the responsibilities of
the driver when reversing.
•
The camera has blind spots where
obstacles cannot be detected.
•
Be aware of people and animals near
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 hitching a trailer. The car's approxi-
mate external dimensions are illustrated by
means of dashed lines. The park assist lines
can be deactivated - see section Settings
(p. 246).
If the car is also equipped with Parking assis-
tance sensors * (p. 240) then their information
is shown graphically as coloured areas in
order to illustrate the distance 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 forward or
35 km/h 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 condi-
tions 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 particularly important in poor light.
Park assist lines
Examples of how the park assist lines can be dis-
played 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 move-
ment, 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 electrical system.
•
The parking camera is deactivated
automatically when towing a trailer if a
Volvo genuine trailer cable is used.
IMPORTANT
Remember that the display only shows the
area behind the car - so pay attention to
the sides and front of the car when turning
the steering while reversing.
Boundary lines
Different lines in the system.
Boundary line, free reversing zone
"Wheel tracks"
The dashed line (1) frames in a zone up to
about 1.5 m back from the bumper. It is also
the limit of the car's most protruding parts,
such as door mirrors and corners - also when
the car is turning.
The wide "wheel tracks" (2) between the side
lines indicate where the wheels will roll and
can extend about 3.2 m back from the
bumper if no obstacle is in the way.

To bear in mind
Pay attention to the possibility that, even if it
only looks like a relatively small part of the

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot)
helps the driver to park by first checking
whether a space is sufficiently large and then
turning the steering wheel and steering the
car into the space.
The combined instrument panel uses sym-
bols, graphics and text when elements are to
be executed.
The On/Off button is on the centre console.
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
PAP does not work in all situations but is
designed merely as a supplementary aid.
The driver always has the final responsibil-
ity for driving the vehicle in a safe manner
and for paying attention to the surround-
ings and other road users approaching or
passing during parking.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - function
The combined instrument panel uses sym-
bols, graphics and text when elements are to
be executed.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and
turns the steering wheel - the driver's task
is to follow the combined instrument pan-
el's instructions and select the gear
(reverse/forward), control the speed, brake
and stop.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria
are met once the engine has been started:
•
The functions ABS
30
or ESC
31
must not
intervene when the PAP function is acti-
vated - these can be activated in the
event of e.g. steep and slippery surfaces,
see the sections on Foot brake (p. 289)
and Stability system ESC (p. 183) for
more information.
•
Trailers must not be connected to the car.
•
The speed must be below 50 km/h.
Principle for PAP.
PAPThe function parks the car using the fol-
lowing steps:
1. The function searches for a parking space
and measures it - during measurement,
speed must not exceed 30 km/h.
2. The car is steered into the space during
reversing.
3. The car is positioned in the space by driv-
ing forward and back.

NOTE
Remember that certain steering wheel
positions may obstruct the combined
instrument panel's instructions when you
turn it during the parking manoeuvre.

The PAP function searches for a parking
space and checks whether it is big enough.
Proceed as follows:
1. Activate PAP by pressing
this button and do not drive
faster than 30 km/h.
2. Keep an eye on the combined instrument
panel and be prepared to stop the car
when the graphics and text message so
request.
3. Stop the car when the graphics and text
so request.
NOTE
PAP searches the area for a parking
space, displays instructions and guides
the car in on its passenger side. But if
required the car can also be parked on the
driver's side of the street:
•
Activate the direction indicator for the
driver's side - the car is then parked
on that side of the street instead.
2 - Reversing in
During the Reversing step, PAP will steer the
car into the parking space. Proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Check that the area behind the car is
clear, then engage reverse gear.
2. Reverse slowly and carefully without
touching the steering wheel - and no
faster than approx. 7 km/h.
3. Keep an eye on the combined instrument
panel and be prepared to stop the car
when the graphics and text message so
request.
NOTE
•
Keep your hands away from the steer-
ing wheel when the PAP function is
activated.
•
Make sure that the steering wheel is
not hindered in any way and can rotate
freely.
•
To achieve optimum results - wait until
the steering wheel is fully turned
before starting to drive backward/
forward.
3 - Straightening up
When the car has reversed into the parking
space, it must be straightened up and stop-
ped.

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 back-
wards slowly until the graphics and text
message tell you to stop.
The function is disengaged automatically
when parking is complete, and the graphics
and text message show that parking is 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 Active Park Assist
compared with when Park Assist uses the
sensors.

The PAP sequence is stopped:
•
if the car is driven too quickly - above
7 km/h
•
if the driver touches the steering wheel
•
if the ABS

or ESC
33
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
measurement.
IMPORTANT
Under certain circumstances, PAP is
unable to find parking spaces - one reason
for this may be the fact that there is inter-
ference with the sensors from external
sound sources which emit the same ultra-
sound 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-
automatic function. The driver must therefore
be prepared to intervene. There are also
details to bear in mind while parking, e.g.:
•
PAP starts out from the current location
of the parked vehicles - if they are inap-
propriately 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 parking situations, it helps the sys-
tem 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 park-
ing manoeuvre. This may cause PAP to
swing into the parking space too early,

(Anti-lock Braking System) - Anti-lock braking system.
33
(Electronic Stability Control) - Stability and traction control system.

and hence such parking pockets should
be avoided.
•
The driver is responsible for determining
whether the space selected by PAP is
suitable for parking.
•
Use approved tyres
34
with the correct tyre
pressure - this affects the ability of PAP
to park the car.
•
Heavy rain or snow may cause the sys-
tem to measure the parking space incor-
rectly.
•
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.
IMPORTANT
The PAP system's parameters may need
to be updated when changing to another
approved wheel rim size involving changed
tyre circumference. Consult a workshop -
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
Maintenance
The PAP sensors are located in the bumpers
35
-
6 front and 4 rear.
For the PAP function to work correctly, its
sensors must be cleaned (p. 243) regularly
with water and car shampoo - these are the
same sensors as are used by parking assis-
tance (p. 240).

BLIS
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is a
function designed for providing support for
the driver when driving in dense traffic on
roads with several lanes in the same direction.
BLIS is a driver's aid intended to provide a
warning about:
•
vehicles in the car's blind spot
•
quickly approaching vehicles in the left
and right lanes closest to the car.
WARNING
BLIS is a supplementary aid and does not
work in all situations.
BLIS is no substitute for a safe driving
style and the use of rearview and door mir-
rors.
BLIS can never replace the driver's
responsibility and attention - it is always
the driver's responsibility to change lanes
in a safe manner.

When BLIS operates
Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone
for quickly approaching vehicle.
The BLIS function is active at speeds above
approx. 10 km/h.
The system is designed to react when:
•
the vehicle is overtaken by other vehicles
•
another vehicle is quickly approaching
the vehicle.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a
quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, the
door panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a con-
stant glow. If the driver activates the direction
indicator on the same side as the warning in
this situation then the BLIS lamp will change
from a constant glow to flashing with a more
intense light.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
BLIS does not work when the car is being
reversed.
Limitations
•
Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can
reduce functionality and make it impossi-
ble to provide warnings. BLIS cannot
detect hazards if it is covered.
•
Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in
the area of the sensors.
•
BLIS is deactivated when a trailer is con-
nected to the car's electrical system.

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 sup-
plement to BLIS (p. 253).
Activate/deactivate CTA
CTA is activated when the engine is started.
This is confirmed by the indicator lamps in
the door panels flashing once.
On/Off for parking assistance and CTA sensors.
In cars equipped with Parking assistance
(p. 240), the CTA function can be deacti-
vated/activated separately with the parking
assistance On/Off button.
In cars without a button for parking assis-
tance, the CTA function can be operated in
the menu system MY CAR (p. 108), as fol-
lows:
•
Search for
Cross Traffic Alert under
BLIS and uncheck - the CTA function is
then deactivated.
However, the BLIS function remains activated
after the CTA has been deactivated.

ing reversing, such as when reversing out of a
parking space.
CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles.
In favourable conditions, it may also be able
to detect smaller objects, such as cyclists
and pedestrians.
CTA is only active during reversing and is
activated automatically when reverse is
selected at the gearbox.
•
If CTA detects something approaching
from the side, an acoustic warning signal
sounds. The signal comes from either the
left or the right speaker depending on
which direction the approaching object is
coming from.
•
CTA also warns by illuminating the BLIS
lamps.
•
An additional warning is provided in the
form of an illuminated icon in the display
screen's PAS graphics (p. 240).
Limitations
CTA does not perform optimally in all situa-
tions, but has a certain limitation - for exam-
ple, the CTA sensors cannot "see" through
other parked vehicles or obstructing objects.
Here are some examples of when CTA's "field
of vision" may be limited from the beginning
and approaching vehicles cannot therefore be
detected until they are very close:
The car is parked deep inside a parking slot.
Blind CTA sector.
Sector where CTA can detect/"see".
In an angled parking slot CTA can be completely
"blind" on one side.
However, when the driver is slowly reversing
the car, the angle is changed in relation to the
vehicle/object that is blocking, at which the
blind sector rapidly decreases.
Examples of further limitations:
•
Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can
reduce functionality and make it impossi-
ble to provide warnings. CTA cannot
detect hazards if it is covered.
•
CTA is deactivated when a trailer is con-
nected to the car’s electrical system.

Adjustable steering force
Speed related power steering causes the
steering wheel force to increase with the
speed of the car in order to give the driver
enhanced sensitivity.
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 differ-
ent levels of steering force for road respon-
siveness or steering sensitivity in the menu
system MY CAR (p. 108):
•
Once there, search for
Steering force
level and select Low, Medium or High.
This menu is not accessible when the car is
moving.
NOTE
In certain situations the power steering
may become too hot and then needs to be
temporarily cooled - during this time the
power steering operates with reduced
power and turning the steering wheel may
then be perceived to be slightly heavier.
In parallel with the temporarily reduced
steering assistance the combined instru-
ment panel shows a message.

Alcohol lock*
The function of the alcohol lock is to prevent
the car from being driven by individuals under
the influence of alcohol. Before the engine
can be started the driver must take a breath
test that verifies that he/she is not under the
influence of alcohol. Alcohol lock calibration
takes place in accordance with each market's
limit value in force for driving legally.
WARNING
The alcohol lock is an aid and does not
exempt the driver from responsibility. It is
always the responsibility of the driver to be
sober and to drive the car safely.

Alcohol lock* - to bear in mind
In order to obtain correct function and as
accurate a measurement result as possible:
•
Avoid eating or drinking
approx. 5 minutes before the breath test.
•
Avoid excess windscreen washing - the
alcohol in the washer fluid may result in
an incorrect measurement result.
Change of driver
In order to ensure that a new breath test is
carried out in the event of a change of driver -
depress the switch (2) and the send button (3)
simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds. At
which point the car returns to start inhibition
mode and a new approved breath test is
required before starting the engine.
Calibration and service
The alcohol lock must be checked and cali-
brated at a workshop
1
every 12 months.
30 days before recalibration is necessary the
combined instrument panel shows the mes-
sage
Alcoguard Calibration required See
manual. If calibration is not carried out within
these 30 days then normal engine starting will
be blocked - only starting with the Bypass
function will then be possible, see the follow-
ing heading "Emergency situation".
The message can be cleared by pressing the
send button (3) once. Otherwise it goes out
on its own after approx. 2 minutes but then
reappears each time the engine is started -
only recalibration at a workshop
1
can clear
the message permanently.
Cold or hot weather
The colder the weather the longer it takes
before the alcohol lock is ready for use:
Temperature (ºC) Maximum heat-
ing time (sec-
onds)
+10 to +85 10
-5 to +10 60
-40 to -5 180
At temperatures below -20 ºC or above
+60 ºC the alcohol lock requires additional
power supply. The combined instrument
panel shows
Alcoguard Please insert
power cable. In which case, connect the
power supply cable from the glovebox and
wait until indicator lamp (6) is green.
In extremely cold weather the heating time
can be reduced by taking the alcohol lock
indoors.
Emergency situation
In the event of an emergency situation or the
alcohol lock is out of order, it is possible to
bypass the alcohol lock in order to drive the
car.
NOTE
All activation with bypass is logged and
saved in a memory; see Recording data
(p. 18).
After the bypass function has been activated
the combined instrument panel shows
Alcoguard Bypass enabled the whole time
while driving and can only be reset by a work-
shop
1
.
The Bypass function can be tested without
the error message being logged - in which
case, carry out all the steps without starting
the car. The error message is cleared when
the car is locked.
When the alcohol lock is installed, either the
Bypass or Emergency function is selected as
the bypassing option. This setting can be
changed afterwards at a workshop
1
.

Starting the engine
The engine is started and switched off using
the remote control key and the START/STOP
ENGINE button.
Ignition switch with remote control key extrac-
ted/inserted. and START/STOP ENGINE button.
IMPORTANT
Do not press in the remote control key
incorrectly turned - Hold the end with the
detachable key blade; see Detachable key
blade - detaching/attaching (p. 164)
1. Insert the remote control key in the igni-
tion switch and press it in to its end posi-
tion. Note that if the car is equipped with
alcohol lock* then a breath test must first
be approved before the engine can be
started. For more information on the
Alcohol lock, see Alcohol lock* (p. 260).
2.
Hold the clutch pedal fully depressed
2
.
(For cars with automatic gearbox -
Depress the brake pedal.)
3. Press the START/STOP ENGINE button
and then release it.
The starter motor works until the engine is
started or until its overheating protection trig-
gers.
IMPORTANT
If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts -
wait for 3 minutes before making a further
attempt. Starting capacity increases if the
battery is allowed to recover.
WARNING
Always remove the remote control key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
car, and make sure that the key position is
0 - in particular if there are children in the
car. For information on how this works,
see Key positions (p. 75).
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is done in order that the
emissions system can reach normal oper-
ating temperature as quickly as possible,
which minimises exhaust emissions and
protects the environment.
Keyless Drive*
Follow steps 2–3 for keyless (p. 166) starting
of petrol and diesel engines.
NOTE
A prerequisite for the engine to start is that
one of the car's remote control keys with
the Keyless drive function is in the passen-
ger compartment or cargo area.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the car while driving or during towing.

Jump starting
If the starter battery (p. 370) is discharged
then the car can be started with current from
another battery.
When jump starting the car, the following
steps are recommended to avoid short cir-
cuits or other damage:
1. Set the car's electrical system in key
position 0, see Key positions (p. 75).
2. Check that the donor battery has a volt-
age of 12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another
car - switch off the donor car's engine
and make sure that the two cars do not
touch each other.
4. Connect one of the red jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's positive
terminal (1).
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
5. Open the clips on the front cover of the
battery in your car and remove the cover.
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp
onto the car's positive terminal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's negative
terminal (3).
8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding
point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting at
the top, the outer screw head (4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are
affixed securely so that there are no
sparks during the starting procedure.
10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and
allow it to run a few minutes at a speed
slightly higher than idle
approx. 1500 rpm.
11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery.
IMPORTANT
Do not use the connections when attempt-
ing to start, as there is a risk of sparking.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -
first the black and then the red.
> Make sure that none of the black jump
lead's clamps comes into contact with
the battery's positive terminal or the
clamp connected to the red jump lead!
WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark
can be formed if a jump lead is con-
nected incorrectly, and this can be
enough for the battery to explode.
•
The battery contains sulphuric acid,
which can cause serious burns.
•
If sulphuric acid comes into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with
large quantities of water. If acid
splashes into the eyes - seek medical
attention immediately.

There are two main types of gearbox - Manual
and Automatic.
•
Manual gearbox (p. 268)
•
Automatic gearbox - Geartronic (p. 269)
and Powershift (p. 273)
IMPORTANT
To prevent damage to any drive system
components, the working temperature of
the gearbox is checked. If there is a risk of
overheating, a warning symbol in the com-
bined instrument panel lights up and a text
message is shown. Follow the recommen-
dation given in the text message.
Manual gearbox
The function of the gearbox is to change the
gear ratio depending on speed and power
requirements.
Gearing pattern.
The 6-speed box is available in two versions -
reverse gear position differs between them.
Look at the actual gearshift pattern imprinted
on the gear lever.
•
Depress the clutch pedal fully during
each gear change.
•
Take your foot off the clutch pedal
between gear changes.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when
parking on a slope - leaving the car in gear
is not sufficient to hold the car in all situa-
tions.
Reverse gear inhibitor
The reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possi-
bility of mistakenly attempting to engage
reverse gear during normal forward travel.
•
Follow the gearing pattern printed on the
gear lever and start from neutral position,
N before moving it to R position.
•
Engage reverse gear only when the car is
stationary.

Gear shift indicator*
The gear shift indicator notifies the driver
when it is appropriate to engage the next
higher or lower gear in order to obtain the
lowest possible fuel consumption.
An essential detail in connection with environ-
mental driving is to drive in the right gear and
to change gear in plenty of time.
An indicator is available as an aid on certain
variants - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) - which
notifies the driver when it is appropriate to
engage the next higher or lower gear in order
to obtain the lowest possible fuel consump-
tion. However, taking into consideration cha-
racteristics such as performance and vibra-
tion-free running, it may be advantageous to
change gear at a higher engine speed.
Manual gearbox
Gear shift indicator for man-
ual gearbox. Only one
marker is illuminated at a
time - it is illuminated in the
centre only during normal
driving.
When gearing up/down as recommended, the
upper one is illuminated at "+" or the lower at
"-", marked red in the illustration.
Automatic gearbox
Combined instrument panel "Digital" with
gear shift indicator.
The framed number indicates the current

Automatic gearbox - Geartronic*
An automatic gearbox with Geartronic differs
from an Automatic gearbox - Powershift
(p. 273), in that it has a hydraulic torque con-
verter that transfers power from engine to
gearbox. It has two different gear modes -
Automatic and Manual.
D: Automatic gear positions. +/–: Manual gear
positions. S: Sport mode*.

The combined instrument panel shows the
position of the gear selector using the follow-
ing indications:

Gear positions
Automatic gear positions are
indicated on the right of the
combined instrument panel.
(Only one marker is illumi-
nated at a time - the one
showing the current gear
selector position.)
Symbol "S" for Sport mode is ORANGE when
the mode is active.
P – Parking position
Select P when starting the engine or when
the car is parked.
In order to move the gear selector from the P
position the brake pedal must be depressed
and the remote control key must be in posi-
tion I or II.
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when
the P position is engaged. Also apply the
parking brake when the car is parked, see
Parking brake (p. 291).
NOTE
The gear selector must be in P position to
allow the car to be locked and alarmed.
IMPORTANT
The car must be stationary when posi-
tion P is selected.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when
parking on a slope - the automatic trans-
mission in P is not sufficient to hold the car
in all situations.
R – Reverse
The car must be stationary when position R is
selected.
N – Neutral
No gear is engaged and the engine can be
started. Apply the parking brake if the car is
stationary with the gear selector in position N.
To be able to move the gear selector from N
to other gear positions, the brake pedal must
be depressed and the remote control key
must be in key position II.
D – Drive
D is the normal driving position. Shifting up
and down takes place automatically based on
the level of acceleration and speed. The car
must be stationary when the gear selector is
moved to position D from position R.
Geartronic – Manual gear positions (+/-)
The driver can also change gear manually
using the Geartronic automatic gearbox. The
car engine-brakes when the accelerator pedal
is released.
The manual gear position is reached by mov-
ing the lever to the side from position D to the
end position at "+/-". The combined instru-
ment panel's symbol "+/-" changes colour
from WHITE to ORANGE and the digits
1, 2, 3
etc. are displayed in a box which corre-
sponds to the gear that has just been
selected.
•
Move the lever forwards towards + (plus)
to change up a gear and release the
lever, which returns to its neutral position
between "+" and "–".
or
•
Pull the lever back towards "–" (minus) to
change down a gear and release it.
The manual gearshift mode "+/-" can be
selected at any time while driving.
Geartronic automatically shifts down if the
driver allows the speed to decrease lower
than a level suitable for the selected gear, in
order to avoid jerking and stalling.
To return to automatic driving mode:
•
Move the lever to the side to the end
position at D.
NOTE
f the gearbox has a Sport programme then
the gearbox will only become manual after
the lever has been moved forwards or
backwards in its "+/-" position. The com-
bined instrument panel then shifts the indi-
cation from
S to show which of the gears
1, 2, 3 etc. is engaged.

271
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 figure, which indicates the cur-
rent gear.
To then change gear one step:
•
Pull one of the paddles backwards -
towards the steering wheel - and release.
Both steering wheel "paddles".
"-": Selects the next lower gear.
"+": Selects the next higher gear.
A gear change occurs at each pull of the pad-
dle provided that the engine speed does not
leave the permitted range.
After each gear change the combined instru-
ment panel changes figure to show the cur-
rent gear.
NOTE
Automatic deactivation
If the steering wheel paddles are not used
then they are deactivated after a short time
- this is indicated when the combined
instrument panel switches indication, from
the figure for the current gear back to "D".
The exception is during engine braking -
then the paddles are activated as long as
engine braking is in progress.
Manual deactivation
The steering wheel paddle shifters can
also be deactivated manually:
•
Pull both paddles toward the steering
wheel and hold until the combined
instrument panel changes character
from the figure for the current gear to
"D".
The paddles can also be used with the gear
selector in Sport mode* - then the paddles
are constantly activated without being deacti-
vated.
Geartronic - Sport mode (S)
The Sport programme provides
sportier characteristics and allows
higher engine speed for the gears.
At the same time it responds more
quickly to acceleration. During active driving,
the use of a lower gear is prioritised, leading
to a delayed upshift.
To activate Sport mode:
•
Move the gear selector to the side from D
position to the end position at "+S–" - the
combined instrument panel changes indi-
cation from
D to S.
Sport mode can be selected at any time while
driving.
Geartronic - Winter mode
It can be easier to pull away on slippery roads
if 3rd gear is engaged manually.
1. Depress the brake pedal and move the
gear selector from D position to the end
position at "+/–" - the combined instru-
ment panel shifts the indication from
D to
the figure
1
5
.
2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the lever
forward towards "+" (plus) twice - the
combined instrument panel shifts the
indication from
1 to 3.
3. Release the brake and accelerate care-
fully.
5
If the car has Sport mode* then "S" is shown first.
||
08 Starting and driving
08
272
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
The gearbox "winter mode" means that the
car moves off with a lower engine speed and
reduced engine power on the drive wheels.
Kick-down
When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the
way to the floor (beyond the position normally
regarded as full acceleration) a lower gear is
immediately engaged. This is known as kick-
down.
If the accelerator is released from the kick-
down position, the gearbox automatically
changes up.
Kick-down is used when maximum accelera-
tion is needed, such as for overtaking.
Safety function
To prevent overrevving the engine, the gear-
box control program has a protective down-
shift inhibitor which prevents the kick-down
function.
Geartronic does not permit downshifting/
kick-down which would result in an engine
speed high enough to damage the engine.
Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shift
down in this way at high engine speed – the
original gear remains engaged.
When kick-down is activated the car can
change one or more gears at a time depend-
ing on engine speed. The car changes up
when the engine reaches its maximum speed
in order to prevent damage to the engine.
Towing
If the car has to be towed - see important
information in the section Towing (p. 309).

Automatic gearbox - Powershift*
The Powershift automatic gearbox transmits
the motive force from the engine to the drive
wheels with double mechanical clutch discs,
as opposed to Geartronic which instead uses
a hydraulic torque converter.
D: Automatic gear positions. +/–: Manual gear
positions. S: Sport mode*.
6
Powershift transmission operates in the same
way and has similar controls and functions as
the Geartronic automatic transmission.
One exception is "Geartronic - Winter mode"
(p. 269):
•
Powershift enables driving away on a
slippery road surface if 2nd gear is
engaged manually - instead of 3rd gear
with Geartronic.
Towing
The model with Powershift transmission
should not be towed as it is dependent on the
engine running in order to receive sufficient
lubrication. If towing (p. 309) still has to take
place, the route must be as short as possible
and then at very low speed.
In the event of uncertainty as to whether the
car is equipped with Powershift or Geartronic
transmission, this can be verified by checking
the designation on the gearbox label under
the bonnet, Type designations (p. 393). The
designation ”MPS6” means that it is
Powershift transmission - otherwise it is
Geartronic automatic transmission.
See also important information in section
Towing (p. 309).
To bear in mind
The transmission's double clutch has over-
load protection that is activated if it becomes
too hot, e.g. if the car is held stationary with
the accelerator pedal on an uphill gradient for
a long time.
Overheated transmission causes the car to
shake and vibrate, and the warning symbol
illuminates and the combined instrument
panel shows a message. The transmission
can also overheat during slow driving in
queues (10 km/h or slower) on an uphill gradi-
ent, or with a trailer hitched. The gearbox
cools down when the car is stationary, with
foot brake depressed and the engine running
at idling speed.
Overheating during slow driving in queues
can be avoided by driving in stages:
•
Stop the car and wait with your foot on
the brake pedal until there is a moderate
distance to the traffic ahead, drive for-
ward a short distance, and then wait
another moment with your foot on the
brake pedal.
IMPORTANT
Use the foot brake to hold the car station-
ary on an uphill gradient - do not hold the
car with the accelerator pedal. The gear-
box could then overheat.
Text message and action
In some situations the combined instrument
panel may show a text message at the same
time as a symbol is illuminated.

gearbox may become so high that the
power transmission between engine and
gearbox is temporarily halted in order to
prevent the clutch from malfunctioning -
the car then loses drive and is stationary
until gearbox temperature has cooled to
an acceptable level.

Gear selector inhibitor
There are two different types of gear selector
inhibitor - mechanical and automatic.
Mechanical gear selector inhibitor
G021351
The gear selector can be moved forward and
back freely between N and D. Other positions
are locked with a latch that is released with
the inhibitor button on the gear selector.
With the inhibitor button depressed the lever
can be moved forwards or backwards
between P, R, N and D.
Automatic gear selector inhibitor
The automatic gearbox has special safety
systems:
Parking position (P)
Stationary car with engine running:
•
Keep your foot on the brake pedal when
moving the gear selector to another posi-
tion.
Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock
Parking position (P)
To be able to move the gear selector from P
to other gear positions, the brake pedal must
be depressed and the remote control key
must be in position II.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)
If the gear selector is in the N position and
the car has been stationary for at least 3 sec-
onds (irrespective of whether the engine is
running) then the gear selector is locked.
To be able to move the gear selector from N
to another gear position the brake pedal must
be depressed and the remote control key
must be in key position II (p. 75).
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 out the contoured insert in the com-
partment behind the centre console and
locate a spring-loaded button in the bot-
tom of the compartment.
Press and hold the button.
Move the gear selector from the P posi-
tion and release the button.

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

Start/Stop*
Some engine and gearbox combinations
come fitted with a Start/Stop function which
engages in the event of e.g. stationary traffic
or waiting at traffic lights - the engine is then
switched off temporarily and restarts auto-
matically when the journey is due to continue.
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor-
poration's core values and it influences all of
our operations. This target orientation has
resulted in several separate energy-saving
functions of which Start/Stop is one, all with
the collective task of reducing fuel consump-
tion, which in turn helps to reduce exhaust
emissions.
General information on Start/Stop
The engine is switched off - it becomes quieter
and cleaner...
The Start/Stop function gives the driver the
opportunity for a more active environmentally
conscious way of driving the car by means of
being able to allow the engine to stop auto-
matically, whenever appropriate.
Manual or Automatic
Note that there are differences in the
Start/Stop function depending on whether the
gearbox is manual or automatic.

Start/Stop* - function and operation
The Start/Stop function is activated automati-
cally when the engine is started with the key.
The Start/Stop function is
activated automatically when
the engine is started with the
key. The driver is alerted to
the function by means of the
symbol for the On/Off button
illuminating in the combined
instrument panel and the
lamp in the On/Off button
illuminating.
All of the car's normal systems such as light-
ing, radio, etc. work as normal even with an
engine that has stopped automatically,
except that some equipment may have the
function temporarily reduced, e.g. the climate
control system's fan speed or extremely high
volume on the audio system.
Auto-stopping the engine
The following is required for the engine to
auto-stop:
Conditions M/A
A
Declutch, set the gear lever in neu-
tral position and release the clutch
pedal - the engine stops automati-
cally.
M
Stop the car with the foot brake
and then keep your foot on the
pedal - the engine stops automati-
cally.
A
A
M = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox.
If the ECO function is acti-
vated then the engine may
auto-stop before the car is
completely stationary.

symbols for the Start/Stop function
illuminate as verification and
reminder that the engine has stop-
ped automatically.

Deactivating the Start/Stop function
In certain situations, it may
advisable to temporarily
switch off the automatic
Start/Stop function - this is
carried out with a push of
this button.
Disengaged function is indicated by
the combined instrument panel's
Start/Stop symbols and the button's
lamp extinguishing.
The Start/Stop function is disengaged until it
is reactivated with the button or until the next
time the engine is started with the key.
Start assistance HSA
The foot brake can also be released on an
uphill slope to auto-start the engine - the HSA
(p. 276) (Hill Start Assist) function prevents
the car from rolling backwards.
HSA means that the pressure in the brake
system remains temporarily available while
the driver's foot is moved from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal for driving off
with the engine having stopped automatically.
The temporary braking effect releases after a
couple of seconds or when the driver acceler-
ates.

ECO*
ECO
7
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 environ-
mentally conscious way of driving.
General
The following are changed
upon activation of the ECO
function:
•
Gearbox gearshift points.
•
Engine management and response from
the accelerator pedal.
•
Start/Stop function - the engine can also
auto-stop before the car has stopped
down to being completely stationary.
•
The Eco Coast function is activated -
engine braking ceases.
•
Climate control system settings - some
electricity consumers are deactivated or
operate at reduced power.
NOTE
When the ECO function is activated, sev-
eral parameters in the climate control sys-
tem's settings are changed, and several
electricity consumer functions are
reduced. Certain settings can be reset
manually, but full functionality 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 pan-
el's
ECO symbol and the ECO- button's lamp
illuminating when the function is activated.
ECO function On or Off
Disengaged ECO function is
indicated by the combined
instrument panel
ECO sym-
bol and the ECO button lamp
extinguishing. The function is
then switched off until it is
reactivated with the ECO
button.
Eco Coast - Function
The Eco Coast subfunction means in practice
that engine braking is deactivated, meaning in
turn that the car's kinetic energy is used to
coast for longer distances. When the driver
releases the accelerator pedal the gearbox is
automatically disengaged from the engine
whose speed is reduced to idling speed with
minimum consumption.
This function is intended for use in the event
of an anticipated reduction in speed, e.g. to
coast forward to an intersection or a red light.
Eco Coast enables proactive driving where
the driver can use the so-called "Pulse &
Glide" technique and a minimum of braking.
Combination On and Off
A combination of Eco Coast and temporarily
deactivated ECO function can also collec-

tively contribute to reduced consumption.
Accordingly:
•
Active Eco Coast: Long coasting without
engine braking = Low consumption
and
•
Deactivated ECO function: Short coasting
with engine braking = Minimum con-
sumption.
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 accelera-
tor 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
•
The road's downhill gradient is not
steeper than approx. 6%.
Deactivate Eco Coast
In certain situations it may be desirable to
deactivate the Eco Coast function. Examples
of such situations include:
•
on steep downhill gradients - to be able
to use engine braking.
•
before an imminent overtaking manoeu-
vre - in order to be able to complete it in
the safest 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+/-"
position.
•
Change gear with the steering wheel pad-
dle shifters.
•
Actuate the accelerator or brake pedal.
Eco Coast - Limitations
The function is not available if:
•
cruise control is activated
•
the road's downhill gradient is steeper
than approx. 6%
•
manual gear changing is performed with
the steering wheel paddle shifters*
•
engine and/or gearbox are not at normal
operating temperature.
•
the gear selector is moved from D- to "S
+/-" position
•
speed is outside the range of
approx. 65-140 km/h

All Wheel Drive (AWD – All Wheel Drive)
means that the car is driven by all four wheels.
All-wheel drive is always engaged.
AWD principle
9
.
The power is automatically distributed
between the front and rear wheels. An elec-
tronically controlled clutch system distributes
the power to the wheels that have the best
grip on the current road surface. This pro-
vides the best traction and prevents wheel
spin. Under normal driving conditions, the
majority of power is transmitted to the front
wheels.
All-wheel drive improves driving safety in rain,
snow and icy conditions.

Hill Descent Control (HDC) (p. 287)
Hill Descent Control (HDC)
11
HDC can be compared to an automatic
engine brake. When you release the accelera-
tor on downhill gradients the car is normally
braked by means of the engine striving for low
engine idling speeds, so-called engine brak-
ing. 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
The function makes it possible to increase/
reduce speed on steep downhill gradients,
with a foot only on the accelerator pedal,
without using the footbrake. 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 allow-
ing the driver to fully focus on steering.
HDC is particularly helpful on steep gradients
with an uneven road surface and slippery
sections. E.g. when launching a boat on a
trailer from a ramp.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
WARNING
HDC does not work in all situations but is
designed merely as a supplementary aid.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility 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 illuminates when the function is acti-
vated.
When HDC is working normally the
combined instrument panel's symbol
illuminates combined with the text message
Hill descent control ON.
The function only operates in first gear posi-
tion and in reverse gear. For an automatic
gearbox, gear position 1 must be selected,
which is shown with the figure
1 in the com-
bined instrument panel, see Automatic gear-
box - Geartronic* (p. 269).
NOTE
HDC cannot be activated on an automatic
gearbox in position D.
Operation
HDC allows the car to roll at a maximum of
10 km/h forwards with engine braking and
7 km/h 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 respectively,
irrespective of the hill's gradient and without
the need for the footbrake.
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 higher than 1 is selected on a
manual gearbox
•
if a gear higher than 1 is selected on an
automatic gearbox, or if the gear selector
is moved to position D.
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 activa-
tion and engine response.

Foot brake
The foot brake is used to reduce the car's
speed while driving.
The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If
a brake circuit is damaged then the brake
pedal will engage deeper and a higher pres-
sure on the pedal is needed to produce the
normal braking effect.
The driver's brake pedal pressure is assisted
by a brake servo.
WARNING
The brake servo only works when the
engine is running.
If the brake is used when the engine is
switched off then the pedal will feel stiff and
more force must be used to brake the car.
In very hilly terrain or when driving with a
heavy load the brakes can be relieved by
using engine braking. Engine braking is most
efficiently used if the same gear is used
downhill as up.
For more general information on heavy loads
on the car, Engine oil - adverse driving condi-
tions (p. 400).
Cleaning the brake discs
Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs
may result in delayed brake function. This
delay is minimised by cleaning the brake lin-
ings.
Manual cleaning is advisable with wet road
surfaces, prior to long-stay parking and after
the car has been washed. Carry this out by
braking gently during a short period while en
route.
Maintenance
To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-
ble, follow the Volvo service intervals as
specified in the Service and Warranty Book-
let.
IMPORTANT
The wear on the brake system's compo-
nents must be checked regularly.
Contact a workshop for information about
the procedure or engage a workshop to
carry out the inspection - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.

Foot brake - anti-lock braking system
The anti-lock braking system, ABS (Anti-lock
Braking System), prevents the wheels from
locking up during braking.
The function allows 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 normal.
A short test of the ABS system is made auto-
matically after the engine has been started
when the driver releases the brake pedal. A
further automatic test of the ABS system may
be made when the car reaches 10 km/h. The
test may be experienced as pulses in the
brake pedal.

Emergency brake lights are activated to alert
vehicles behind about sudden braking. The
function means that the brake light flashes
instead of - as in normal braking - shining with
a constant glow.
Emergency brake lights are activated at
speeds above 50 km/h if the ABS system is
working and/or in the event of sudden brak-
ing. After the car's speed has been slowed
below 10 km/h the brake light returns from
flashing to the normal constant glow - while
at the same time the Hazard warning flashers
are activated, and they flash until the driver
accelerates the car to at least 20 km/h or they
are deactivated with their button.

Foot brake - emergency brake
assistance
Emergency brake assistance EBA (Emergency
Brake Assist) helps to increase the braking
force and so reduce the braking distance.
EBA detects the driver's braking style and
increases 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
lowers slightly more than usual, depress
(hold) the brake pedal as long as neces-
sary. If the brake pedal is released then all
braking ceases.

Parking brake
The parking brake holds the car stationary,
when the driver's seat is empty, by mechani-
cally locking/blocking two wheels.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when
parking on a slope - leaving the car in
gear, or in P if it has automatic transmis-
sion, is not sufficient to hold the car in all
situations.
Combined instrument panel warning symbol.
Applying the parking brake
1. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly.
2. Pull the lever firmly.
> The combined instrument panel warn-
ing symbol comes on.
NOTE
- The combined instrument panel's
warning symbol illuminates regardless of
whether the parking brake is applied
slightly or fully.
3. Release the foot brake pedal and make
sure that the car is at a standstill position.
4. If the vehicle moves then the parking
brake lever must be applied at least a lit-
tle more firmly.

Driving in water
Fording means that the car is driven through a
water-covered roadway. Fording must be car-
ried out with great caution.
The car can be driven through water at a
maximum depth of 30 cm at a maximum
speed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should be
exercised when passing through flowing
water.
During driving in water, maintain a low speed
and do not stop the car. When the water has
been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly
and check that full brake function is achieved.
Water and mud for example can make the
brake linings wet resulting in delayed brake
function.
•
Clean the electric contacts of the electric
engine block heater and trailer coupling
after driving in water and mud.
•
Do not let the car stand with water over
the sills for any long period of time - this
could cause electrical malfunctions.
IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters
the air filter.
In depths greater than 30 cm, 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, trans-
mission, 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.

Overload - starter battery
The electrical functions in the car load the
starter battery to varying degrees. Avoid using
the key position II when the engine is
switched off. Instead use the I mode - which
uses less power, see Key positions - functions
at different levels (p. 76).
Also, be aware of different accessories that
load the electrical system. Do not use func-
tions which use a lot of power when the
engine is switched off. Examples of such
functions are:
•
ventilation fan
•
headlamps
•

If the battery voltage is low the information
display shows the text
Low battery charge

tion then shuts down certain functions or
reduces certain functions such as the ventila-
tion fan and/or audio system.
– In which case, charge the starter battery
by starting the engine and then running it
for at least 15 minutes - battery charging
is more effective during driving than run-
ning the engine at idling speed while sta-
tionary.

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. 409) is nor-
mal.
•
Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oil
or other fluid).
•
Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths.
•

Winter driving
For winter driving it is important to perform
certain checks in order to ensure that the car
can be driven safely.
To bear in mind:
Check the following in particular before the
cold season:
•
The engine coolant (p. 403) must contain
at least 50% glycol. This mixture protects
the engine against frost erosion down to
approximately –35 °C. To achieve opti-
mum antifreeze protection, different types
of glycol must not be mixed.
•
The fuel tank must be kept filled to pre-
vent condensation.
•
Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils with
lower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate star-
ting in cold weather and also reduce fuel
consumption while the engine is cold. For
more information on suitable oils, see
Engine oil - adverse driving conditions
(p. 400).
IMPORTANT
Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard
driving or in hot weather.
•
The condition of the battery and charge
level must be inspected. Cold weather
08 Starting and driving
08
295
places great demands on the battery and
its capacity is reduced by the cold.
•
Use washer fluid (p. 370) to avoid ice
forming in the washer fluid reservoir.
To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo rec-
ommends using winter tyres on all wheels if
there is a risk of snow or ice.
NOTE
The use of winter tyres is a legal require-
ment in certain countries. Studded tyres
are not permitted in all countries.
Slippery driving conditions
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under
controlled conditions to learn how the car
reacts.
Fuel filler flap - Opening/closing
The fuel filler flap can be opened/closed as
follows:
Opening/closing the fuel filler flap
Open the fuel filler flap by slightly press-
ing in the rear part of the hatch.
Take out the flap.
Close the flap after fuelling.
For a description of locking and unlocking the

Fuel - handling
Fuel of a lower quality than that recom-

power and fuel consumption is negatively
affected.
WARNING
Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and fuel
splashing in the eyes.
In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove any
contact lenses and rinse the eyes in plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes and seek
medical attention.
Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol
and diesel are highly toxic and could
cause permanent injury or be fatal if swal-
lowed. Seek medical attention immediately
if fuel has been swallowed.
WARNING
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be
ignited.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
starting 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.

•
95 RON can be used for normal driving.
•
98 RON is recommended for optimum
performance and minimum fuel consump-
tion.
When driving in temperatures above +38 °C,
fuel with the highest possible octane rating is
recommended for optimum performance and

IMPORTANT
•
Use only unleaded petrol to avoid
damaging the catalytic converter.
•
Fuel that contains up to 10 volume-%

Fuel - diesel
Diesel is used as fuel.
Only use diesel fuel from well-known produc-
ers. Never use fuel of dubious quality. Diesel
fuel should fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204
standard. Diesel engines are sensitive to con-
taminants in the fuel, such as metals and a
high volume of sulphur for example.
At low temperatures (-6 °C to -40 °C), a par-
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,
which may lead to ignition problems. Special
diesel fuel designed for low temperatures
around freezing point is available from the
major oil companies. This fuel is less viscous
at low temperatures and reduces the risk of
paraffin precipitate.
The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is
reduced if the tank is kept well filled. When
refuelling, check that the area around the fuel
filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the
paintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-
gent 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 % FAME
(Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels that must not be used:
•
Special additives
•
Marine diesel fuel
•
Heating oil
•
FAME
13
(Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) and
vegetable oil.
These fuels do not fulfil the requirements in
accordance with Volvo recommendations
and generate increased wear and engine
damage that is not covered by the Volvo
warranty.
Empty tank
The design of the fuel system in a diesel
engine means that if the vehicle runs out of
fuel, the tank may need to be vented in the
workshop in order to restart the engine after
fuelling.
Once the engine has stopped due to fuel
starvation, the fuel system needs a few
moments to carry out a check. Do this before
starting the engine, once the fuel tank has
been filled with diesel:
1. Insert the remote control key in the igni-
tion switch and push it in to the end posi-
tion, see Key positions (p. 75).
2. Press the START button without
depressing the brake and/or clutch pedal.
3. Wait approx. one minute.
4. To start the engine: Depress the brake
and/or clutch pedal and then press the
START button again.
NOTE
Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel
shortage:
•
Stop the car on as flat/level ground as
possible - if the car is tilting there is a
risk of air pockets in the fuel supply.
Draining condensation from the fuel
filter
The fuel filter separates condensation from
the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine
operation.
The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals
specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet
13
Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of FAME, but further amounts must not be added.

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
themselves.
Lambda-sond
TM
oxygen sensor
The Lambda-sond is part of a control system
intended to reduce emissions and improve
fuel economy. For more information, see Fuel
consumption and CO2 emissions (p. 409).
An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen con-
tent of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.
This value is fed into an electronic system
that continuously controls the injectors. The
ratio of fuel to air directed to the engine is
continuously adjusted. These adjustments
create optimal conditions for efficient com-
bustion, and together with the three-way cat-
alytic converter reduce harmful emissions
(hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous
oxides).

Diesel particle filter (DPF)
Diesel cars are equipped with a particle filter,
which results in more efficient emission con-
trol.
The particles in the exhaust gases are collec-
ted 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 nor-
mal operating temperature.
Filter regeneration takes place automatically
and normally takes 10-20 minutes. It may
take a little longer at a low average speed.
Fuel consumption may increase slightly dur-
ing regeneration.
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 approximately
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 the information display.
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the
car until the engine reaches normal operating
temperature, preferably on a main road or
motorway. The car should then be driven for
approximately 20 minutes more.
NOTE
The following may arise during regenera-
tion:
•
a smaller reduction of engine power
may be noticed temporarily
•
fuel consumption may increase tem-
porarily
•
a smell of burning may arise.
When regeneration is complete the warning
text is cleared automatically.
Use the parking heater* in cold weather so
that the engine reaches normal operating
temperature more quickly.
IMPORTANT
If the filter is completely filled with parti-
cles, it may be difficult to start the engine
and the filter is non-functional. Then there
is a risk that the filter will need to be
replaced.

Economical driving
Driving economically means driving smoothly
while thinking ahead and adjusting your driv-

tions.
•
Use the ECO Guide* (p. 65) which indi-
cates how fuel-efficiently the car is being
driven.
•
For lowest fuel consumption, activate
ECO* (p. 285)
14
which can further reduce
fuel consumption.
•
Do not use winter tyres when the winter
season is over.
•
Drive in the highest gear possible, adap-
ted to the current traffic situation and
road - lower engine speeds result in lower
fuel consumption. Use the gear shift indi-
cator (p. 269)
15
.
•
Avoid sudden unnecessary acceleration
and heavy braking.
•
High speed results in increased fuel con-
sumption - the wind resistance increases
with speed.
•
Do not run the engine to operating tem-
perature at idling speed, but rather drive
with a light load as soon as possible - 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. 412).
•
Choice of tyres can affect fuel consump-
tion - seek advice on suitable tyres from a
dealer.
•
Remove unnecessary items from the car -
the greater the load the higher the fuel
consumption.
•
Use engine braking to slow down, when it
can take place without risk to other road
users.
•
A roof load and ski box increase air resis-
tance, leading to higher fuel consumption
- remove the load carriers when not in
use.
•
Avoid driving with open windows.
For more information, see Volvo Cars' envi-
ronmental philosophy (p. 21) and Fuel con-
sumption and CO2 emissions (p. 409).
WARNING
Never switch off the engine while moving,
such as downhill, this deactivates impor-
tant systems such as the power steering
and brake servo.
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
payload by a corresponding weight. For more
detailed information, see Weights (p. 396).
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 com-
plies with the specified maximum towball
load.
•
Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-
mended pressure for a full load. For infor-
mation on the tyre pressure, see Tyres -
approved tyre pressures (p. 412).
•
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 permit-
ted speed for the car when coupled with
a trailer should not be exceeded. Follow
the regulations 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 a 13 pin connector and the trailer
has a 7 pin connector. 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 indi-
cators are broken, the symbol for direction
indicators in the combined instrument panel
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. 397).
NOTE
The stated maximum permitted trailer
weights are those permitted by Volvo. The
maximum permitted speed for a car with a
trailer attached is 100 km/h. National vehi-
cle regulations may further restrict the
trailer weight and speed. 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 - TSA
16
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
system (p. 183) ESC
17
.
Function
The snaking phenomenon can occur with any
car/trailer combination. Snaking normally
occurs at high speeds. But, there is a risk of it
occurring at lower speeds (70-90 km/h) if the
trailer is overloaded or the load is improperly
distributed, e.g. too far back.
In order for snaking to occur, there must be a
triggering factor, e.g.:
•
Car with trailer subjected to a sudden and
powerful side wind.
•
Car with trailer drives on an uneven road
surface or in a pothole.
•
Sweeping steering wheel movements.
Operation
If snaking has started, it could be difficult or
even impossible to suppress. This makes the
car/trailer combination difficult to control and
there is a risk that you could, for example,
end up in the wrong lane or leave the car-
riageway.
The trailer stability assist function continually
monitors car movements, particularly lateral
movements. If snaking is detected, the front
wheels are individually braked. This serves to
stabilise the car/trailer combination. This is
often enough to help the driver regain control
of the car.
If snaking is not eliminated the first time the
TSA system comes into action, the car/trailer
combination is braked with all wheels and
engine power is reduced. Once snaking has
been gradually suppressed and the car/trailer
combination is once again stable, the TSA
system stops regulating and the driver once
again has full control of the car. For more
information, see Electronic stability control
(ESC) - general (p. 183).
Miscellaneous
The TSA system can engage within the speed
interval 65-160 km/h.
NOTE
TSA function is switched off if the driver
selects
Sport mode, see Electronic stabil-
ity control (ESC) - general (p. 183).
TSA may fail to engage if the driver uses
severe steering wheel movements to try to
rectify the snaking because in such a situa-
tion the TSA system cannot determine
whether it is the trailer or the driver that is
causing the snaking.
The ESC
17
symbol in the combined
instrument panel flashes when the
TSA system is working.

Towing
During towing, one vehicle is towed by
another vehicle using a tow rope.
Find out the statutory maximum speed limit
for towing before towing begins.
1. Unlock the steering lock (p. 266) by
inserting the remote control key in the
ignition switch and giving a long press on
the START/STOP ENGINE button - key
position II (p. 76) is activated.
2. The remote control key must remain in
the ignition switch while the car is being
towed.
3. Keep the towline taut when the towing
vehicle reduces speed by holding your
foot gently pressed on the brake pedal -
thereby avoiding unnecessary jerking.
4. Be prepared to brake to stop.
WARNING
•
Check that the steering lock is
unlocked before towing.
•
The remote control key must be in key
position II - in position I all airbags are
deactivated.
•
Never remove the remote control key
from the ignition switch when the car
is being towed.
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not
work when the engine is switched off - the
brake pedal needs to be depressed
about 5 times more heavily and the steer-
ing is considerably heavier than normal.
Manual gearbox
Prior to towing:
– Move gear lever into neutral and release
the parking brake.
Automatic gearbox Geartronic
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be towed
with the wheels rolling forward.
•
Do not tow cars with automatic trans-
mission at speeds higher than 80 km/h
or for distances in excess of 80 km.
Follow the speeds that are permitted
in accordance with local traffic regula-
tions.
Prior to towing:
– Move the gear selector to position N and
release the parking brake.
Automatic gearbox Powershift
Models with the Powershift gearbox should
not be towed. If towing still has to take place,
the route must be as short as possible and
then with very low speed.
In the event of uncertainty as to whether or
not the car is equipped with Powershift trans-
mission, this can be verified by checking the
type designation (p. 393) on the gearbox
label under the bonnet. The designa-
tion ”MPS6” means that it is Powershift trans-
mission - otherwise it is Geartronic automatic
transmission.
IMPORTANT
Avoid towing.
•
However, the car can be towed for a
short distance at low speed to move it
from a dangerous position - not further
than 10 km and not faster than
10 km/h. Note that the car must
always be towed with the wheels roll-
ing forward.
•
In the event of moving a longer dis-
tance than 10 km, the car must be
transported with the drive wheels
raised from the road - professional
recovery is recommended.
Prior to towing:
– Move the gear selector to position N and
release the parking brake.

carefully turning it outwards. Then turn
out the cover completely and remove
it.
•
The front bumper's recess has a mark-
ing along one side or in a corner: Press
the marking with a finger and fold out
the opposite side/corner at the same
time - 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.
The towing eye is unscrewed after use.
Place the towing eye back in its position.
Finish by refitting the cover onto the
bumper.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye is only designed for towing
on roads - not for pulling the car unstuck
or out of a ditch. Call a recovery service for
recovery assistance.

Call a recovery service for recovery assis-
tance.
The towing eye may be used to pull the car
up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed plat-
form. The car's position and ground clear-
ance determine 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 dam-
aged if you try to pull it up using the towing
eye. Raise the car using the recovery vehi-
cle's lifting device if necessary.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be transpor-
ted with the wheels rolling forward.

WHEELS AND TYRES

Tyres - maintenance
Amongst other things, the function of the
tyres is to provide grip on the road surface,
dampen vibration and protect the wheel from
wear.
Driving characteristics
Tyres greatly affect the car's driving characte-
ristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre
pressure and speed rating are important for
how the car performs.
Tyre age
All tyres older than 6 years old should be
checked by an expert even if they seem
undamaged. Tyres age and decompose, even
if they are hardly ever or never used. The
function can therefore be affected. This
applies to all tyres that are stored for future
use. Examples of external signs which indi-
cate 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 fric-
tion capacity/characteristics gradually deteri-
orate. For this reason, aim to get as fresh
tyres as possible when you replace them.
This is especially important with regard to
winter tyres. The last four digits in the
sequence mean the week and year of manu-
facture. 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 tyres
When summer and winter wheels are
changed the wheels should be marked with
which side of the car they were mounted on,
for example L for left and R for right.
Wear and maintenance
Correct tyre pressure (p. 315) results in more
even wear. Driving style, tyre pressure, cli-
mate and road condition affect how quickly
your tyres age and wear. To avoid differences
in tread depth and to prevent wear patterns
(p. 315) arising, the front and rear wheels can
be switched with each other. A suitable dis-
tance for the first change is approx. 5000 km
and then at 10000 km intervals. Volvo recom-
mends that you contact an authorised Volvo
workshop for checking if you are uncertain
about tread depth. If significant differences in
wear (>1 mm difference in tread depth)
between tyres have already occurred, the
least worn tyres must always be placed on
the rear. Understeer is normally easier to cor-
rect than oversteer, and leads to the car con-
tinuing forwards in a straight line rather than
having the rear end skidding to one side,
resulting in possible complete loss of control
over the car. This is why it is important for the
rear wheels never to lose grip before the front
wheels.
Wheels must be stored lying down or hanging
up - never standing up.
WARNING
A damaged tyre may lead to loss of control
over the car.

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.
G021778
The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation.
The tyre must always rotate in the same
direction throughout its lifespan. Tyres should
only be switched between front and rear
positions, never between left and right-hand
sides, or vice versa. If the tyres are fitted
incorrectly, the car's braking characteristics
and capacity to force rain and slush out of the
way are adversely affected. Tyres with the
greatest tread depth should always be fitted
to the rear of the car (to decrease the risk of
skidding).
NOTE
Make sure that both pairs of wheels have
the same type and dimension, and also the
same make.
Follow the recommended tyre pressure
(p. 315) specified in the tyre pressure table.

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

Tyres - air pressure
Tyres can have different air pressures which
are measured in bar.
Check the air pressure in the tyres
The air pressure for the tyres should be
checked every month and should be checked
on cold tyres. "Cold tyres" means the tyres
are the same temperature as the ambient
temperature. After several few kilometres of
driving, the tyres warm up and the pressure
increases. Inadequate tyre pressure increases
fuel consumption, shortens tyre lifespan and
impairs the car's roadholding. Driving on
tyres with tyre pressure that is too low could
result in the tyres overheating and being
damaged. Tyre pressure affects travelling
comfort, road noise and steering characteris-
tics.
NOTE
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is
a natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also
varies depending on ambient temperature.
Tyre pressure label
G021830
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side
door pillar (between frame and rear door)
shows which pressure the tyres should have
at different loads and speed conditions. This
is also specified in the tyre pressure table.
Tyre pressure for the car's recommended tyre
dimension and information about ECO pres-
sure that results in improved fuel economy
can be found in the printed owner's manual.
NOTE
Temperature differences change the
tyre pressure.

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. Minimum speed rat-
ing is indicated in the speed rating table
below. The only exception to these conditions
is winter tyres (p. 318) (both those with metal
studs and those without), 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). Traffic regulations determine how
fast a car can be driven, not the speed rating
of the tyres.
NOTE
The maximum permitted speed is speci-
fied in the table.
Q 160 km/h (used only on winter tyres)
T 190 km/h
H 210 km/h
V 240 km/h
W 270 km/h
Y 300 km/h
WARNING
The car must be fitted with tyres which
have the same or a higher load index
(p. 317) (LI) and speed rating (SS) than
specified. If a tyre with too low a load
index or speed rating is used, it may over-
heat.

Wheel nuts
Wheel nuts are used to fasten the wheels at
the hubs and are available in different ver-
sions.
Standard wheel nuts
Bulge acorn wheel nuts
Locking wheel nuts
Tightening torque
•
Type 1 wheel nut (steel wheel rim): 110
Nm
•
Type 2 wheel nut (aluminium wheel
rim): 130 Nm
•
Type 3 Lockable wheel nut (steel/
aluminium wheel rim): 110 Nm
Only use rims that are tested and approved
by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine acces-
sories. Check the torque with a torque
wrench.
Locking wheel nuts*
Locking wheel nuts can be used on both alu-
minium and steel rims. Under the cargo area
floor there is space for the sleeve for the lock-
able wheel nuts.

Winter tyres
Winter tyres are tyres that are adapted for
winter road conditions.
Winter tyres
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particu-
lar dimensions. Tyre dimensions are depend-
ent 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 espe-
cially 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 tem-
peratures place considerably higher demands
on tyres than summer conditions. Volvo
therefore recommends not to drive on winter
tyres that have a tread depth of less
than4 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 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 equiva-
lent chains designed for the car model,
and tyre and rim dimensions. In the event
of uncertainty Volvo recommends that you
consult an authorised Volvo workshop.
The wrong snow chains may cause serious
damage to your car and lead to an acci-
dent.

Spare wheel*
A spare wheel (Temporary spare) is used to
temporarily replace a punctured normal
wheel.
A spare wheel is only intended for use tempo-
rarily and must be replaced by an normal
wheel as soon as possible. The car's handling
may be altered by the use of a spare wheel.
The spare wheel is smaller than the normal
wheel. The car's ground clearance is affected
accordingly. Pay attention to high kerbs and
do not machine wash the car. If the spare
wheel is fitted on the front axle, you cannot
use snow chains at the same time. On all-
wheel drive cars the drive on the rear axle can
be disconnected. The spare wheel must not
be repaired. The correct tyre pressure for the
spare wheel is stated in the tyre pressure
table, Tyres - air pressure (p. 315).
IMPORTANT
•
Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a
spare wheel on the car.
•
The car must never be driven fitted
with more than one "Temporary
Spare" wheel.

Changing wheels - removing wheels
The car's wheels can be changed for e.g. win-
ter wheels/winter tyres.
Set up the warning triangle if a wheel must be
changed in a trafficked location. The car and
jack* must be on a firm horizontal surface.
1. Apply the parking brake and engage
reverse gear, or position P if the car has
an automatic gearbox.
WARNING
Check that the jack is not damaged, that
the threads are thoroughly lubricated and
that it is free from dirt.
NOTE
Volvo recommends only using the jack*
that belongs to the car model in question,
which is indicated on the jack's label.
The decal also indicates the jack's maxi-
mum lift capacity at a specified lifting
height.
2. Take out the wheel to be fitted (summer
tyre, winter tyre or spare wheel) as well as

9. Wind up the jack so that the flange in the
bodywork ends up in the notch in the
head of the jack.
10. Lift the car so that the wheel is free.
Remove the wheel nuts and lift off the
wheel.
WARNING
Never crawl under the car when it is raised
on the jack.
Passengers must leave the car when it is
raised on the jack. If a wheel must be
changed in a trafficked environment, pas-
sengers must stand in a safe place.
NOTE
The car's regular jack is designed only for
use occasionally and for a short time, such
as when changing a wheel with a punc-
tured tyre, switching between summer
tyres and winter tyres, etc. Only the jack
belonging to the specific model is to be
used to jack up the car. If the car is to be
jacked up more often, or for a longer time
than is required just to change a wheel,
use of a garage jack is recommended. In
this instance, follow the instructions for
use that come with the equipment.

Tyre pressure monitoring*
1
Tyre pressure monitoring warns the driver
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 accord-
ance with legal requirements.
There are two systems for tyre pressure
monitoring, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System) and TM (Tyre Monitor). In the event
of uncertainty about which system the car
has, open the menu system MY CAR and
search for the car's settings:
•
The
Tyre pressure menu is used if it is
TPMS, see Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem (TPMS)* - general (p. 326).
•
The
Tyre monitoring menu is used if it is
TM, see Tyre pressure monitoring (TM)*
(p. 331).
The system does not replace normal tyre
maintenance.
IMPORTANT
If a fault occurs in the TPMS system the
warning lamp
in the combined instru-
ment panel will flash for approx. 1 minute
and then illuminate with a constant glow. A
message is also shown in the combined

error has occurred in the system. Contact
a Volvo dealer or workshop.
Clearing warning messages
If a tyre pressure message has been shown
and the TPMS warning lamp has been illumi-
nated:
1. Check the tyre pressure on the indicated
tyre/tyres with a tyre pressure gauge.
2. Inflate the tyre/tyres to the correct pres-
sure in accordance with the tyre pressure
label on the driver's side door pillar
(between front and rear doors).
3. In some cases it may be necessary to
drive the car for a few minutes at a speed
above 30 km/h in order to clear the warn-
ing text. At which point, the TPMS warn-
ing lamp is extinguished as well.
NOTE
•
The TPMS system uses a so-called
compensated pressure value, based
on both tyre temperature and ambient
temperature. This means that the tyre
pressure may differ slightly from the
recommended pressures listed on the
tyre pressure label on the driver's side
door pillar (between front and rear
doors). For this reason, it may be nec-
essary to inflate the tyres to a slightly
higher pressure in order to clear a low
tyre pressure message.
•
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 kilo-
metres 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.

driveable punctured tyres*
If SST (Self Supporting run flat Tires)* is
selected, the car is also equipped with TPMS
(p. 325).
This type of tyre has a specially reinforced
side wall that makes continued driving possi-
ble to a limited extent despite the tyre losing
all or some of its pressure. These tyres are fit-
ted on a special rim. (Normal tyres can also
be fitted to this rim.)
If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the
yellow TPMS lamp in the combined instru-
ment panel illuminates and a message is
shown in the information display. If this
occurs, reduce speed to max. 80 km/h. The
tyre must be replaced as soon as possible.
Drive carefully, in some cases it can be diffi-
cult to see which tyre is faulty. In order to
establish which tyre needs attention, check
all four tyres.
WARNING
Only people with knowledge of SST tyres
should fit them.
SST tyres must only be fitted together with
TPMS.
After an error message about low tyre
pressure has been shown, do not drive
faster than 80 km/h.
Maximum mileage before tyre replacement
is 80 km.
Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking
or turning.
SST tyres must be replaced if they are

The TM (Tyre Monitor) system senses tyre
rotation speed in order to determine whether
the tyres have the correct tyre pressure. If the
pressure is too low, the tyre's diameter is
changed and, as a result, so is the rotation
speed. By comparing the tyres with each
other the system can determine whether one
or more tyres have pressure that is too low.
Messages
If the tyre pressure is too low then a warning
lamp (

The system does not replace normal tyre
maintenance.
TM recalibration
In order for TM to work correctly, a reference
value for the tyre pressure must be deter-
mined. This must be performed each time the
tyres are changed or the tyre pressure is
changed.
Recalibration
Settings are made using the centre console's
controls, see MY CAR (p. 108).
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. Inflate the tyres to the desired pressure in
accordance with the tyre pressure label
on the driver's side door pillar (between
front and rear doors) and select key posi-
tion II, see Key positions (p. 75).
3. Select the menu system MY CAR to open
the menus for tyre pressure.
4.
Select
Calibrate tyre pressure and
press OK.
5. Start and drive the car.
> Recalibration is carried out while the
car is being driven and can be inter-
rupted at any time. If the engine is
switched off while recalibration is in
progress then it is resumed when the
car is driven again.
TM is then recalibrated and the new reference
value applies until steps 1-5 are carried out
again.
NOTE
Remember that the TM system must be
recalibrated at each tyre change or if the
tyre pressure is changed. If new reference
values are not stored then the system can-
not function properly.
NOTE
•
After a tyre has been inflated, always
refit the dust cap in order to avoid

pressure that is too low.
•

Tyre
pressure system Service required: an
error has occurred in the system. Contact
a Volvo dealer or workshop.
Clearing warning messages
If a tyre pressure message has been shown
and the TPI warning lamp has been illumi-
nated:
1. Check the tyre pressure on the indicated
tyre/tyres with a tyre pressure gauge.
2. Inflate the tyre/tyres to the correct pres-
sure in accordance with the tyre pressure
label on the driver's side door pillar
(between front and rear doors).
3. Recalibrate the TM system.
NOTE
•
The TM system uses a so-called com-
pensated pressure value, based on
both tyre temperature and ambient
temperature. This means that the tyre
pressure may differ slightly from the
recommended pressures listed on the
tyre pressure label on the driver's side
door pillar (between front and rear
doors). For this reason, it may be nec-
essary to inflate the tyres to a slightly
higher pressure in order to clear a low
tyre pressure message.
•
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 kilo-
metres 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.

Emergency puncture repair*
The emergency puncture repair kit* (TMK -
Temporary Mobility Kit) is used to seal a
puncture and check and adjust the air pres-
sure. Air pressure for the car's recommended
tyre dimensions can be found in the printed
owner's manual.
The emergency puncture repair kit consists of
a compressor and a bottle of sealant. The
sealing works as a temporary repair. The
sealing fluid bottle must be replaced before
its expiration date and after use. The sealing
fluid effectively seals tyres punctured in the
tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture
in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures
in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emer-
gency puncture repair kit if they have larger
slits, cracks or similar damage. Connect the
compressor to one of the car's 12 V sockets.
Choose the socket that is nearest to the
punctured tyre.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency
puncture repair has been tested and
approved by Volvo.

WARNING
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h
after the emergency tyre repair kit has
been used. Volvo recommends that you
visit an authorised Volvo workshop for
inspection of the sealed tyre (maximum
driving distance is 200 km). The staff there
can determine whether or not the tyre can
be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
WARNING
The sealing fluid can irritate the skin. In the
case of contact with skin, wash away the
fluid with soap and water.
2. Check that the switch is in position 0 and
locate the cable and the air hose.
NOTE
Do not break the bottle's seal before use.
The seal is broken automatically when the
bottle is screwed in.

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. 400).
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 inter-
vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed
grade of oil for both filling and oil change,
otherwise you will risk affecting service life,
starting characteristics, fuel consumption
and environmental impact.
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war-
ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed
grade and viscosity is not used.
Volvo recommends that oil changes are
carried out at an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
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. Cer-
tain variants have both systems. Contact a
Volvo dealer for more information.
Change the engine oil and oil filter in accord-
ance with the intervals specified in the Serv-
ice and Warranty Booklet.
Using oil of a higher than specified grade is
permitted. If the car is driven in adverse con-
ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of a
higher grade; see Engine oil - adverse driving
conditions (p. 400).
For filling capacities, see Engine oil - grade
and volume (p. 401).

Engine oil - checking and filling
Depending on engine variant the oil level is
checked with the dipstick or the electronic oil
level sensor.
Engine with oil dipstick
5
Dipstick and filler pipe.
Checking the oil level in a new car is espe-
cially important before the first scheduled oil
change.
Volvo recommends checking the oil level
every 2 500 km. The most accurate measure-
ments are made on a cold engine before star-
ting. The measurement will be inaccurate if
taken immediately after the engine is
switched off. The dipstick will indicate that
the level is too low because the oil has not
had time to flow down into the oil sump.
G021737
The oil level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks.
Measurement and filling if required
1. Ensure that the car is level. After switch-
ing off the engine it is important to wait
5 minutes to allow the oil time to run back
to the sump.
2. Pull up and wipe the dipstick.
3. Re-insert the dipstick.
4. Pull it out and check the level.
5. If the level is close to MIN then 0.5 litres
should be added. If the level is signifi-
cantly below, then an additional amount
is required.
6. If required, check the level again, do it
after driving a short distance. Then repeat
steps 1 - 4.
WARNING
Never fill above the MAX mark. The level
should never be above MAX or below MIN
as this could lead to engine damage.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-
fold due to the risk of fire.

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 passen-
ger compartment.
The coolant level must lie between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion tank.
Checking the level and topping up
When topping up the coolant, follow the
instructions on the packaging. It is important
that the mixture of coolant concentrate and
water is correct for the prevailing weather
conditions. Never top up with water only. The
risk of freezing increases with both too little
and too much coolant concentrate.
10 Maintenance and service
10
}}
359
WARNING
Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant
requires topping up when the engine is at
operating temperature, unscrew the
expansion tank cap slowly to gently
release the overpressure.
For capacities and for standards regarding
water quality; see Coolant - grade and vol-
ume (p. 403).
Check the coolant regularly
The level must lie between the MIN and MAX
marks on the expansion tank. If the system is
not filled sufficiently, high temperatures could
occur, causing a risk of damage to the
engine.
IMPORTANT
•
A high content of chlorine, chlorides
and other salts may cause corrosion in
the cooling system.
•
Always use coolant with anti-corrosion
agent as recommended by Volvo.
•
Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50%
water and 50% coolant.
•
Mix the coolant with approved quality
tap water. In the event of any doubt
about water quality, used ready-mixed
coolant in accordance with Volvo rec-
ommendations.
•
When changing coolant/replacing
cooling 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,
temperatures that are too high may
occur resulting in the risk of damage
(cracks) in the cylinder head.
Brake and clutch fluid - level
Brake and clutch fluid level should be
between the reservoir MIN and MAX marks.
Checking the level
Brake and clutch fluid have a common reser-
voir. The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks that are visible inside the reser-
voir. 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
braking, such as driving in mountains or tropi-
cal climates with high humidity.
For capacities and recommended brake fluid
grade, see Brake fluid - grade and volume
(p. 405).
WARNING
If the brake fluid is below the MIN level in
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive fur-
ther before topping up the brake fluid.

WARNING
On cars with Xenon headlamps, the
replacement of Xenon lamps must be car-
ried out at a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended. Working
with Xenon lamps demands extreme cau-
tion because the headlamp is equipped
with a high voltage unit.
WARNING
The car’s electrical system must be in key
position 0 when replacing bulbs; see Key
positions - functions at different levels
(p. 76).
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs
with your fingers. Grease from your fingers
is vaporised by the heat, coating the
reflector and then causing damage.
NOTE
If an error message remains after the bro-
ken bulb has been replaced then we rec-
ommend that you visit an authorised Volvo
workshop.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog
lamps and rear lamps may temporarily
have condensation on the inside of the
lens. This is normal, all exterior lighting is
designed to withstand this. Condensation
is normally vented out of the lamp housing
when the lamp has been switched on for a
time.

IMPORTANT
When replacing the starter battery, in cars
with Start/Stop function, a battery of the
correct type must be fitted, EFB
12
in cars
with manual gearbox and AGM
13
in cars
with automatic gearbox.
When replacing the support battery, a bat-
tery of AGM 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 orig-
inal battery (see the label on the battery).
NOTE
•
The battery's container size should be
consistent with the original battery's
dimensions.
•
The battery's height is different
depending on size.
WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark
can be formed if a jump lead is con-
nected incorrectly, and this can be
enough for the battery to explode.
•
The battery contains sulphuric acid,
which can cause serious burns.
•
If sulphuric acid comes into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with
large quantities of water. If acid
splashes into the eyes - seek medical
attention immediately.
IMPORTANT
When charging the starter battery or the
support battery (p. 373), only use a mod-
ern battery charger with controlled charg-
ing voltage. Fast charging function must
not be used since it may damage the bat-
tery.
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed
then the energy saving function for info-
tainment system may be temporarily dis-
engaged, and/or the message in the com-
bined instrument panel's information dis-
play about the starter battery's state of
charge may be temporarily inapplicable,
following 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 bat-
tery or battery charger - only the car
chassis may be used as the ground-
ing point.
See Jump starting (p. 267) for a descrip-
tion of how the cable clamps must be
attached.

NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if it
becomes discharged repeatedly.
The life of the battery is affected by several
factors, including driving conditions and
climate. Battery starting capacity decrea-
ses 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 fur-
ther limits starting capacity.
To maintain the battery in good condition,
at least 15 minutes of driving/week is rec-
ommended or that the battery is con-
nected to a battery charger with automatic
trickle charging.
A battery that is kept fully charged has a
maximum service life.

Starter battery - replacement
The starter battery should be replaced by an
authorised workshop.
The starter battery is a traditional 12 V bat-
tery.
Volvo recommends that you allow an author-
ised workshop to replace the batteries - an
authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
For more information on the car's starter bat-
tery, see Jump starting (p. 267).
Battery - Start/Stop
Cars with Start/Stop function, in addition to
the starter battery, are equipped with a sup-
port battery.
Cars with the Start/Stop function are equip-
ped with two 12 V batteries - one extra pow-
erful starter battery for starting and one sup-
port battery that helps during the Start/Stop
function's starting sequence.
For more information on the Start/Stop func-
tion, see Start/Stop* (p. 276).
For more information on the car's starter bat-
tery, see Jump starting (p. 267).

NOTE
•
The higher the current take-off in the
car, the more the alternator must be
working and the batteries charging =
Increased fuel consumption.
•
When the capacity of the starter bat-
tery has fallen below the lowest per-
missible level then the Start/Stop func-
tion is disengaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due
to high current take-off means:
•
The engine starts automatically
16
without
the driver depressing the clutch pedal
(manual gearbox).
•
The engine starts automatically without
the driver lifting his/her foot off the foot
brake pedal (automatic gearbox).
Location of the batteries
(1) Starter battery
17
(2) Support battery
The support battery normally requires no
more service than the normal starter battery.
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 tempo-
rarily 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 bat-
tery or battery charger - only the car
chassis may be used as the ground-
ing point.
See Jump starting (p. 267) for a descrip-
tion of how the cable clamps must be
attached.

NOTE
If the battery has become so discharged
that everything is "black" and in principle
the car does not have all the normal elec-
trical functions and the engine is subse-
quently started using an external battery or
battery charger, then the Start/Stop func-
tion will be activated. It will then be possi-
ble for the engine to be auto-stopped but
in the event of an auto-stop the Start/Stop
function may fail to auto-start the engine
due to inadequate capacity in the battery.
The battery must first be charged in order
to ensure a successful auto-start after an
auto-stop. At an outside temperature of
+15 °C the battery needs to be charged for
at least 1 hour. At a lower outside tem-
perature a charging time of 3-4 hours is
recommended. The recommendation is
that the battery is charged using an exter-
nal battery charger.
If this is not possible then the recommen-
dation is to temporarily deactivate the
Start/Stop function until the battery has
been adequately recharged.
For more information on charging the
starter battery, see Starter battery - gen-
eral (p. 370).

Electrical system
The electrical system is single-pole and uses
the chassis and engine casing as a conductor.
The car has a voltage-regulated AC alterna-
tor.
The size, type and performance of the starter
battery depend on the car's equipment and
function.
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 orig-
inal battery (see the label on the battery).

Fuses - general
All electrical functions and components are
protected by a number of fuses in order to
protect the car's electrical system from dam-
age 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. Wash the car in a car wash
with oil separator. Use car shampoo.
Washing by hand
•
Remove bird droppings from the paint-
work as soon as possible. Bird droppings
contain chemicals that affect and discol-
our paintwork very quickly. An authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended for the
removal of any discoloration.
•
Hose down the underbody.
•
Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirt
has been removed so as to reduce the
risk of scratches from washing. Do not
spray directly onto the locks.
•
If necessary, use cold degreasing agent
on very dirty surfaces. Note that in this
case, the surfaces must not be hot from
the sun!
•
Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and
plenty of lukewarm water.
•
Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm
soap solution or car shampoo.
•
Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or
a water scraper. If you avoid allowing
drops of water to dry in strong sunlight,
you reduce the risk of water drying stains
which may need to be polished out.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a
workshop. There is a risk of fire if the
engine is hot.
IMPORTANT
Dirty headlamps have impaired functional-
ity. Clean them regularly, when refuelling
for example.
Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents
but use water and a non-scratching
sponge instead.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog
lamps and rear lamps may temporarily
have condensation on the inside of the
lens. This is normal, all exterior lighting is
designed to withstand this. Condensation
is normally vented out of the lamp housing
when the lamp has been switched on for a
time.
Wiper blades
Asphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper
blades, as well as insects, ice etc. on the
windscreen, impair the service life of wiper
blades.
For cleaning:
– Set the wiper blades to the service posi-
tion; see Wiper blades (p. 367).
NOTE
Wash the wiper blades and windscreen
regularly with lukewarm soap solution or
car shampoo.
Do not use any strong solvents.
Automatic car washes
An automatic car wash is a simple and quick
way of washing the car, but it cannot reach
everywhere. Handwashing the car is recom-
mended for achieving optimum results.
NOTE
The car must only be washed by hand
over the first few months. This is because
the paint is more delicate when it is new.
High-pressure washing
When using high-pressure washing, use
sweeping movements and make sure that the
nozzle does not come closer than 30 cm to
the surface of the car (the distance applies to
all exterior parts). Do not spray directly onto
the locks.

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 per-
formance.
Lightly depress the brake pedal now and then
when driving long distances in rain or slush.
The heat from the friction causes the brake
linings to warm up and dry. Do the same
thing after starting in very damp or cold
weather.
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
instructions must be followed carefully.
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.
Rims
Only use rim cleaning agent recommended
by Volvo.
Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the
surface and cause stains on chrome-plated
aluminium 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 spi-
rit. More stubborn stains can be removed
using fine rubbing paste designed for car
paintwork.
Polish first with a polish and then wax with
liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on
the packaging carefully. Many preparations
contain both polish and wax.
IMPORTANT
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.

Water and dirt-repellent coating
The windows are treated with a surface coa-
ting that improves visibility in difficult weather
conditions.
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 prop-
erties.
•
Take care when cleaning so as not to
damage the glass surface.
•
To avoid damaging glass surfaces when
removing ice – only use plastic ice scra-
pers.
•
Treatment with a special finishing agent
available from Volvo dealers is recom-
mended in order to maintain the water-
repellent properties. 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 Win-
dows and rearview and door mirrors -
heating (p. 102).

Rustproofing
The car received a thorough and complete
rustproofing 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, cavities, closed sections
and side doors.
Inspection and maintenance
Dirt and road salt can lead to corrosion so it
is important to keep the car clean. The car's
rustproofing needs to be checked regularly
and touched-up if necessary in order for it to
be maintained.
Under normal conditions the rustproofing
does not require treatment for approximately
12 years. After this period, it should be trea-
ted at three-year intervals. Volvo recom-
mends that you engage an authorised Volvo
workshop for assistance if the car needs fur-
ther treatment.

Cleaning the interior
Only use cleaning agents and car care prod-
ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly
and treat stains at once for best results. Vac-
uuming 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
buttons and controls. Wipe them
instead using a moistened cloth con-
taining the cleaning agent.
•
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage
the fabric upholstery.
Fabric upholstery and ceiling upholstery
Volvo offers a comprehensive fabric care
product for fabric upholstery and ceiling
upholstery which, when used in accordance
with the instructions, preserves the properties
of the upholstery. The fabric care product is
available at your Volvo dealer.
Leather upholstery
Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to pre-
serve 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 col-
ours 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, pre-
serves 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 from your Volvo dealer.
Leather steering wheel
Leather needs to breathe. Never cover the
leather steering wheel with protective plastic.
Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes is recom-
mended for cleaning the leather steering
wheel.
Interior plastic, metal and wood parts
A fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, lightly
moistened with water, available from Volvo
dealers, is recommended for cleaning interior
parts and surfaces.
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 spe-
cial textile cleaning agent is available from
your 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 vacuum 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 adjacent to and under the pedals.
A special textile cleaner is recommended for
stains on the floor mat after vacuuming. Floor
mats should be cleaned with agents recom-
mended by your Volvo dealer.

Paint is an important part of the car's rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. The most common types of paint-
work damage are stone chips, scratches, and
marks on the edges of wings, doors and
bumpers.

Repair minor paintwork damage such
as stone chips and scratches
G021832
Before work is begun, the car must be clean
and dry and at a temperature above 15 °C.
1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape
to remove any loose paint.
If the damage is down to the metal, use
of a primer is appropriate. In the event of
damage to a plastic surface, an adhesive
primer should be used to give better
results - spray into the lid of the spray
can and brush on thinly.
2. Before painting, gentle polishing using a
very fine polishing agent may be carried
out locally if required (e.g. if there are any
uneven edges). The surface is cleaned
thoroughly and left to dry.
3. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine
brush, a matchstick or similar. Finish off
with a basecoat and clearcoat once the
primer has dried.
4. For scratches, proceed as above, but
mask around the damaged area to pro-
tect 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 basecoat
and clearcoat 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. 397) (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-
ing capacity are the Kinetic/Momentum/
Summum equipment levels, as well as
other accessories such as Towbar, Load
carrier, Space box, Audio system, Auxiliary
lamps, GPS, Fuel-driven engine block
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 partic-
ular 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. 355), 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 dis-
tances 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 inter-
vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed
grade of oil for both filling and oil change,
otherwise you will risk affecting service life,
starting characteristics, fuel consumption
and environmental impact.
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war-
ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed
grade and viscosity is not used.
Volvo recommends that oil changes are
carried out at an authorised Volvo work-
shop.

Fuel consumption and emission values in the
table above are based on specific EU cycles
3
,
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 consumption and
carbon dioxide emissions.
There are several reasons for increased fuel
consumption compared with the table's val-
ues. Examples of this are:
3
Official fuel consumption figures are based on two standardised driving cycles in a laboratory environment ("EU driving cycles") all in accordance with EU Regulation no 692/2008 and 715/2007
(Euro 5 / Euro 6) and UN ECE Regulation no 101. The regulations cover the driving cycles for urban driving and extra-urban driving. - Urban driving - the measurement starts with cold starting the
engine. The driving is simulated. - Extra-urban driving - the car is accelerated and braked at speeds between 0-120 km/h. The driving is simulated. - Cars with manual gearbox are started in 2nd
gear. The value for combined driving, which is reported in the table, is a combination of urban driving and extra-urban driving, in accordance with legal requirements. CO
2
emissions - the exhaust
gases are collected in order to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions during the two driving cycles. These are then analysed and give the value for CO
2
emissions.

The driver's driving style.
•
If the customer has specified wheels
larger than those fitted as standard on the
model's basic version, then resistance
increases.
•
High speed results in increased wind
resistance.
•
Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,
weather and the condition of the car.
Even a combination of the above-mentioned
examples can result in significantly improved
consumption. For further information, please
refer to the regulations referred to
3
.
Large deviations in fuel consumption may
arise in a comparison with the EU driving
cycles
3
which are used in the certification of
the car and on which the consumption figures
in the table are based.
Consumption is higher and power output
lower for fuel with an octane rating of
91 RON.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a
trailer or driving at high altitudes in combi-
nation with fuel grade are factors that
could affect the car's performance.

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