Recording dataYour vehicle contains a number of computerswhose function is to continuously check andmonitor the vehicle's operation and function-ality. Some of the computers can recordinformation during normal driving if theydetect an error. In addition, information isrecorded in the event of a collision or inci-dent. Parts of the recorded information arerequired so that technicians can diagnoseand 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 forresearch purposes by Volvo in order to con-tinually develop quality and safety, as theinformation can contribute to a better under-standing of the factors that cause accidentsand injuries. The information includes detailsof the status and functionality of various sys-tems and modules in the vehicle with regardto engine, throttle, steering and brake sys-tems, amongst other things. This informationmay include details regarding the way thedriver drives the vehicle, such as vehiclespeed, brake and accelerator pedal use,steering wheel movement and whether or notthe driver and passengers have used theirseatbelts. For the reasons given this informa-tion may be stored in the vehicle's computersfor a certain length of time, but also as aresult of a collision or incident. This informa-tion may be stored by Volvo as long as it canhelp to further develop and further enhancesafety and quality and as long as there arelegal requirements and other regulations thatVolvo 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 disclosesuch information to authorities such as police

authorities, or others who may assert a legalright to have access to it.

To be able to read and interpret the informa-tion recorded by the computers in the vehiclerequires special technical equipment thatVolvo, and workshops that have entered intoagreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvois responsible that the information, which istransferred to Volvo during servicing andmaintenance, is stored and handled in asecure manner and that the handling com-plies with applicable legal requirements. Forfurther information - contact a Volvo dealer.

Accessories and extra equipmentThe incorrect connection and installation ofaccessories can negatively affect the car'selectrical system. Certain accessories onlyfunction when their associated software isinstalled in the car's computer system. Volvotherefore recommends that you always con-tact an authorised Volvo workshop beforeinstalling accessories which are connected toor affect the electrical system.

Volvo and the environment

Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy

G000000

Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor-poration's core values which influence alloperations. We also believe that our custom-ers share our consideration for the environ-ment.

Your Volvo complies with strict internationalenvironmental standards and is also manu-factured in one of the cleanest and mostresource-efficient plants in the world. VolvoCar Corporation has global ISO certification,which includes the environmental standardISO 14001 covering all factories and severalof our other units. We also set requirements

for our partners so that they work systemati-cally with environmental issues.

Fuel consumptionVolvo cars have competitive fuel consump-tion in each of their respective classes. Lowerfuel consumption generally results in loweremission of the greenhouse gas, carbon diox-ide.

It is possible for the driver to influence fuelconsumption. For more information readunder the heading, Reducing environmentalimpact.

Efficient emission controlYour Volvo is manufactured following theconcept "Clean inside and out" – a conceptthat encompasses a clean interior environ-ment as well as highly efficient emission con-trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions arewell below the applicable standards.

Clean air in the passengercompartmentA passenger compartment filter prevents dustand pollen from entering the passenger com-partment via the air intake.

Page 13: Owners Manual

Introduction

Volvo and the environment

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

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS*(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that theincoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf-fic outside.

The system consists of an electronic sensorand a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-tored continuously and if there is an increasein the level of certain unhealthy gases such ascarbon monoxide then the air intake isclosed. Such a situation may arise in heavytraffic, queues and tunnels for example.

The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-levelozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by thecarbon filter.

InteriorThe interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea-sant and comfortable, even for people withcontact allergies and for asthma sufferers.Extreme attention has been given to choosingenvironmentally-compatible materials.

Volvo workshops and the environmentRegular maintenance creates the conditionsfor a long service life and low fuel consump-tion for your car. In this way you contribute toa cleaner environment. When Volvo's work-shops are entrusted with the service andmaintenance of your car it becomes part ofour system. Volvo makes clear demandsregarding the way in which our workshopsare designed in order to prevent spills and

discharges into the environment. Our work-shop staff have the knowledge and the toolsrequired to guarantee good environmentalcare.

Reducing environmental impactYou can easily help reduce environmentalimpact - here are a few tips:

• Avoid letting the engine idle - switch offthe engine when stationary for longerperiods. Pay attention to local regula-tions.

• Drive economically - think ahead.

• Perform service and maintenance inaccordance with the owner's manual'sinstructions - follow the Service and War-ranty Booklet's recommended intervals.

• If the car is equipped with an engineblock heater*, use it before starting fromcold - it improves starting capacity andreduces wear in cold weather and theengine 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 increaseswind resistance 4 times.

• Always dispose of environmentally hazar-dous waste, such as batteries and oils, inan environmentally safe manner. Consult

a workshop in the event of uncertaintyabout how this type of waste should bediscarded - an authorised Volvo work-shop is recommended.

Following this advice can save money, theplanet's resources are saved, and the car'sdurability is extended. For more informationand further advice, see the pages 296 and387.

RecyclingAs a part of Volvo's environmental work, it isimportant that the car is recycled in an envi-ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of thecar can be recycled. The last owner of the caris therefore requested to contact a dealer forreferral to a certified/approved recyclingfacility.

The owner's manual and theenvironmentThe Forest Stewardship Council® symbolshows that the paper pulp in this publicationcomes from FSC® certified forests or othercontrolled sources.

General information

Heavy braking can have serious consequen-ces if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure thatall passengers use their seatbelts.

It is important that the seatbelt lies againstthe 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.

Putting on a seatbeltPull the belt out slowly and secure it bypressing its locking tab into the seatbeltbuckle. A loud "click" indicates that the belthas locked.

Correctly fitted seatbelt.

Incorrectly fitted seatbelt. The belt must rest onthe shoulder.

Seatbelt height adjustment. Press the button andmove the belt vertically. Position the belt as highas possible without it chafing against your throat.

The locking tab at the centre rear seat onlyfits into the intended seatbelt buckle.

Releasing the seatbeltPress the red button on the seatbelt buckleand then let the belt retract. If the seatbeltdoes not retract fully, feed it in by hand sothat it does not hang loose.

The seatbelt locks and cannot be with-drawn:

• if it is pulled out too quickly

• during braking and acceleration

• if the car leans heavily.

Page 19: Owners Manual

01 Safety

Seatbelts 01

17

Make sure that you:• do not use clips or anything else that can

prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly

• ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted orcaught on anything

• the hip strap must be positioned lowdown (not over the abdomen)

• tension the hip strap over the lap by pull-ing the diagonal shoulder belt up towardsthe shoulder.

WARNING

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If aseatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,this may diminish the protection providedby 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 contactan authorised Volvo workshop.

If the seatbelt has been subjected to amajor load, such as in conjunction with acollision, the entire seatbelt must bereplaced. Some of the seatbelt's protectiveproperties may have been lost even if theseatbelt does not appear damaged. Theseatbelt must also be replaced if it showssigns of wear or damage. The new seatbeltmust be type-approved and designed forinstallation at the same location as thereplaced seatbelt.

Seatbelts and pregnancy

G020998

The seatbelt should always be worn duringpregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn inthe correct way. The diagonal section shouldwrap over the shoulder then be routedbetween the breasts and to the side of theabdomen.

The lap section should lay flat over the thighsand as low as possible under the abdomen. –It must never be allowed to ride upward.Remove the slack from the seatbelt andensure that it fits as close to the body as pos-sible. In addition, check that there are notwists in the seatbelt.

As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant dri-vers should adjust their seats and steeringwheel such that they can easily maintain con-trol of the vehicle as they drive (which meansthat they must be able to easily operate thefoot pedals and steering wheel). The aimshould be to position the seat with as large adistance as possible between abdomen andsteering wheel.

Seatbelt reminder

Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas-ten their seatbelts by means of an audio andvisual reminder. The audio reminder is speeddependent, and in some cases time depend-ent. The visual reminder is located in the roofconsole and in the combined instrumentpanel.

Child seats are not covered by the seatbeltreminder system.

Rear seatThe seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has twosubfunctions:

• Provides information on which seatbeltsare being used in the rear seat. A mes-sage appears in the combined instrumentpanel when the seatbelts are in use, or ifone of the rear doors has been opened.The message is acknowledged automati-cally after approximately 30 seconds driv-ing or after pressing the indicator stalk'sOK button. If anyone is unbelted then themessage can only be acknowledgedmanually by pressing the indicator stalk'sOK button.

• Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-belts is unfastened during travel. Thiswarning takes the form of a message inthe combined instrument panel along withthe audio/visual signal. The warning stopswhen the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it canalso be acknowledged manually bypressing the OK button.

The combined instrument panel's informationdisplay, see page 71, shows which seat-belts are in use. This information is alwaysavailable.

Seatbelt tensionerThe seatbelts on the driver’s side, the pas-senger side and at the outer rear seats are fit-ted with seatbelt tensioners. A mechanism inthe seatbelt tensioner tightens the seatbelt inthe event of a sufficiently violent collision. Theseatbelt then provides more effective restraintfor the occupants.

WARNING

Never insert the tongue of the passenger'sseatbelt into the buckle on the driver'sside. Always insert the tongue of the seat-belt into the buckle on the correct side. Donot make any damages on seatbelts norinsert any foreign objects into a buckle.The seatbelts and buckles would thenpossibly not function as intended in theevent of a collision. There is a risk ofserous injury.

The system consists of airbags and sensors.A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensorsand the airbag(s) are inflated and becomehot. The airbag cushions the initial collisionimpact for the occupant. The airbag deflateswhen compressed by the collision. When thisoccurs, smoke escapes into the car. This iscompletely normal. The entire process,including inflation and deflation of the airbag,occurs within tenths of a second.

WARNING

Volvo recommends that you contact anauthorised Volvo workshop for repair.Defective work in the airbag system couldcause malfunction and result in seriouspersonal injury.

NOTE

The detectors react differently dependingon the nature of the collision and whetheror not the seatbelts are fastened. Appliesto all seatbelt positions apart from centreseat rear.

It is therefore possible that only one (ornone) of the airbags may inflate in a colli-sion. The detectors sense the force of thecollision on the vehicle and the action isadapted accordingly so that one or moreairbags are deployed.

Airbags on the driver's sideThe car has two airbags to supplement theprotection afforded by the seatbelt on thedriver's side. One of the airbags is folded upin the centre of the steering wheel (see theillustration on page 19); the steering wheel islabelled AIRBAG.

Knee airbag on the driver's side in a left-hand-drive car.

The second airbag (at knee level) is fitted inthe lower part of the instrument panel on thedriver's side; this panel is labelled AIRBAG.

Side airbags (SIPS bags) 01

24

Side airbag

In a side impact collision a large proportion ofthe collision force is transferred by the SIPS(Side Impact Protection System) to beams,pillars, the floor, the roof and other structuralparts of the body. The side airbags at thedriver's and front passenger seats protect thechest area and the hip and are an importantpart of the SIPS.

The SIPS bag system consists of two maincomponents, side airbag and sensors. Theside airbags are located in the front seatbackrests.

Location

Driver's seat, left-hand drive.

Front passenger seat, left-hand drive.

The SIPS bag system consists of side airbagsand sensors. A sufficiently violent collisiontrips the sensors and the side airbags areinflated. The airbag inflates between the

occupant and the door panel and therebycushions the initial impact. The airbagdeflates when compressed by the collision.The side airbag is normally only deployed onthe side of the collision.

Child seats and side airbagsThe protection provided by the car to childrenseated in a child seat or on a booster cushionis not diminished by the side airbag.

WARNING

• Volvo recommends that repairs areonly carried out by an authorised Volvoworkshop. Defective work in the SIPS-bag system could cause malfunctionand result in serious personal injury.

• Do not put objects in the area betweenthe outside of the seat and the doorpanel, since this area is required bythe side airbag.

• Volvo recommends the use only of carseat covers approved by Volvo. Otherseat covers may impede the operationof the side airbags.

• Side airbags are a supplement theseatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

Inflatable Curtain (IC) 01

25

Properties

The inflatable curtain (IC) is a part of the SIPSsystem. It is fitted in the headlining along bothsides of the roof and protects the car's occu-pants sitting in the outer seats. A sufficientlyviolent collision trips the sensors and theinflatable curtain is inflated. The inflatablecurtain helps to prevent the driver and pas-sengers from striking their heads on theinside of the car during a collision.

WARNING

WHIPS 01

26

Protection against whiplash injury –WHIPS

The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con-sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe-cially designed head restraints in the frontseats. The system is actuated by a rear-endcollision, where the angle and speed of thecollision, and the nature of the colliding vehi-cle all have an influence.

WARNING

The WHIPS system is a supplement to theseatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

Properties of the seatWhen the WHIPS system is deployed, thefront seat backrests are lowered backward toalter the seating position of the driver andfront seat passenger. This reduces the risk ofwhiplash injury.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPSsystem yourself. Volvo recommends thatyou contact an authorised Volvo work-shop.

WHIPS system and child seats/boostercushionsThe protection provided by the car to childrenseated in a child seat or on a booster cushionis not diminished by the WHIPS system.

Correct seating positionFor the best possible protection, the driverand front seat passenger should sit in thecentre of the seat with as little space as pos-sible between the head and the headrestraint.

Do not obstruct the WHIPS system

Do not leave any objects on the floor behind thedriver's seat/passenger seat that may prevent theWHIPS system from functioning.

WARNING

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

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

WARNING

If a rear seat backrest is folded down, thecorresponding front seat must be movedforward so that it does not touch thefolded backrest.

WARNING

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

Part of the WHIPS system's protectivecapacity may have been lost even if theseats appear to be undamaged.

Volvo recommends that you contact anauthorised Volvo workshop to have thesystem checked even after a minor rear-end collision.

Keyless lock and ignition system*

General

Below is a description of remote control keyswith Keyless drive and Keyless start func-tions. For cars with a Keyless start function,the car can be started without the remotecontrol key being inserted in the ignition lock.For cars with a Keyless drive function, the carcan be locked and unlocked without pressinga button on the remote control key, and alsobe started without the key being inserted inthe ignition lock. The system makes it easierand more convenient to open the car, e.g.when your hands are full.

Both of the car's remote control keys haveKeyless function. It is possible to order moreremote control keys, see page 44.

The car's electrical system can be set to 3different levels (key positions) - 0, I and II -with the remote control key, see page 81.

Remote control key range1

In order to open a door or the tailgate withoutpressing a button on the remote control key,a remote control key must be approx. 1.5 mfrom the car door handle or tailgate. Thismeans that the person who wishes to lock orunlock a door must have the remote controlkey with him or her. It is not possible to lockor unlock a door if the remote control key ison the opposite side of the car.

The red rings in the preceding illustration indi-cate the range covered by the system'santennas.

If all remote control keys are removed fromthe car when the engine is running or keyposition I or II is active (see page 81) and adoor has been opened and then closed, theinformation display in the combined instru-ment panel shows a warning message whilesounding an audible reminder at the sametime.

When the remote control key has beenreturned to the car, the warning messagegoes off and the audible reminder ceasesonce either/or:

• a door has been opened and closed

• the remote control key has been insertedin the ignition lock

• The OK button on the direction indicatorstalk.

Safe operation of the remote controlkey with keyless functionIf a remote control key with keyless functionis left in the car, it is deactivated temporarilywhen the car is locked. This prevents unau-thorised entry.

However, if someone breaks into the car andfinds the remote control key, it is reactivated.It is therefore important to handle all remotecontrol keys with great care.

IMPORTANT

When the door has been unlocked usingthe key blade and is opened, the alarm istriggered.

Interference to remote control keyfunctionElectromagnetic fields and screening caninterfere with the Keyless function.

NOTE

Do not place/store the remote control keywith keyless function near a mobile phoneor metal object - no closer than 10-15 cm.

If interference is experienced nonetheless,use the remote control key and the key bladelike a traditional remote control key, seepage 46.

Locking2

Cars with the Keyless-drive system have a touch-sensitive area on the outer handle of the doorsand a rubberised button next to the tailgate'srubberised pressure plate.

Lock the doors and the tailgate by graspingone of the door handles or pressing thesmaller of the tailgate's two rubberised but-tons - the lock indicator in the windscreenconfirms that locking has been completed bystarting to flash, see page 45.

All doors and the tailgate must be closedbefore the car can be locked - otherwise thecar is not locked.

NOTE

In cars with automatic gearbox selectors,the gear selector must be set to the Pposition; otherwise the car can be neitherlocked nor alarmed.

Unlocking2

Unlocking with Keyless-drive takes placewhen a hand grasps a door handle or the tail-gate's rubberised pressure plate is actuated -open the door or tailgate as normal.

NOTE

The door handles normally register a handthat takes hold of the handle, but withthick gloves on or after a very quick handmovement a second attempt may berequired, or with the glove taken off.

Unlocking with the key blade

Hole for key blade - to loosen the cover.

If central locking cannot be activated with theremote control key - e.g. if the batteries aredischarged - then the left-hand front door canbe opened using the remote control key'sremovable key blade (see page 49).

To access the lock cylinder, the door handle'splastic cover must be removed - this is alsodone with the key blade:

1. Press the key blade approx. 1 cm straightup into the hole on the underside of thedoor handle/cover - do not prize.> The plastic cover loosens automati-

cally by means of the torque when the

blade is pushed straight up and intothe opening.

2. Then insert the key blade in the lock cyl-inder and unlock the door.

3. Refit the plastic cover after unlocking.

NOTE

When the front left door is unlocked usingthe key blade and is opened, the alarm istriggered. It is switched off by inserting theremote control key in the ignition switch,see page 64.

Key memory3 - driver’s seat, doormirrors and steering force

Memory function in remote control keywith keyless functionIf several people each with a remote controlkey approach the car, then the settings forseat and mirrors are implemented for the per-son who opens the driver's door.

GeneralActivated alarm is triggered if:

• a door, the bonnet or the tailgate isopened

• a movement is detected in the passengercompartment (if fitted with a movementdetector*)

• the car is raised or towed away (if fittedwith a tilt detector*)

• the battery's cable is disconnected

• the siren is disconnected.

If there is a fault in the alarm system then theinformation display in the combined instru-ment panel shows a message. In which case,contact a workshop - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended.

NOTE

The movement sensors trigger an alarm inthe event of movement in the passengercompartment - air currents are also regis-tered. For this reason the alarm is trig-gered if the car is left with a window openor if the passenger compartment heater isused.

To avoid this: Close the window whenleaving the car. If the car's integrated pas-senger compartment heater (or a portableelectric heater) shall be used - direct theairflow from the air vents so that they arenot pointing upwards in the passengercompartment. Alternatively, reduced alarmlevel can be used, see page 64.

NOTE

Do not attempt to repair or alter compo-nents in the alarm system yourself. Anysuch attempts may affect the terms of theinsurance.

Automatic re-arming of the alarmThis function prevents the car being left withthe alarm disarmed unintentionally.

If the car is unlocked with the remote controlkey (and the alarm is disarmed) but none ofthe doors or the tailgate is opened within 2minutes, then the alarm is automatically re-armed. The car is relocked at the same time.

Automatic alarm activationIn certain countries, the alarm is activatedafter a certain delay if the driver's door wasopened and closed but the car was not re-locked.

Remote control key not workingIf the alarm cannot be deactivated with theremote control key, e.g. if the key's battery isdischarged - the car can be unlocked, dis-armed and the engine started as follows:

1. Open the left-hand front door with thedetachable key blade - see page 54.> 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 signalsWhen the alarm is triggered, the followinghappens:

• A siren sounds for 30 seconds or until thealarm is switched off. The siren has itsown battery and works independently ofthe car battery.

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

Reduced alarm levelTo avoid accidental triggering of the alarm -e.g. if a dog is left in a locked car or duringtransport on a car train or car ferry - tempo-rarily deactivate the movement and tilt detec-tors.

Instantaneous value

Average value

Instantaneous valueThe instantaneous value is shown here - thehigher the reading on the scale, the better.

The instantaneous value is calculated basedon speed, engine speed, engine power uti-lised plus use of the foot brake.

Optimum speed (50-80 km/h) and low enginespeeds are encouraged. The pointers fall dur-ing acceleration and braking.

Very low instantaneous values illuminate thered zone on the meter (with a short delay),which means poor driving economy andhence should be avoided.

Average valueThe average value slowly follows the instanta-neous value and describes how the car hasbeen driven most recently. The higher thepointers on the scale, the better the drivingeconomy achieved by the driver.

Power guideThis instrument shows the relationshipbetween how much power (Power) is beingtaken from the engine and how much poweris available.

To view this function, select the themePerformance, see page 73.

Available engine power

Engine power utilised

Available powerThe smaller, upper pointer shows the availa-ble engine power7. The higher the reading onthe scale, the more power is available in thecurrent gear.

Utilised powerThe larger, lower pointer shows the enginepower utilised7. The higher the reading on thescale, the more power is being taken from theengine.

A large gap between the two pointers indi-cates a large power reserve.

7 Power is dependent on engine speed.

Knob for headlamp control in AUTO position.

With the knob for headlamp control in position the daytime running lights (DaytimeRunning Lights - DRL) are activated automati-cally when the car is driven during daytime. Alight sensor on the top of the instrumentpanel changes from daytime running lights todipped beam at twilight or when daylightbecomes too weak. Changing to dippedbeam also takes place if the windscreen wip-ers or rear fog lamps are activated.

WARNING

This system help to save energy - it cannotdetermine in all situations when daylight istoo weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mistand rain.

The driver is always responsible for ensur-ing that the car is driven with its lights in acorrect state and in accordance with appli-cable traffic regulations.

Tunnel detection*The function is available in cars with rain sen-sor*. The sensor detects the entrance to atunnel and resets the lighting from daytimerunning lights to dipped beam. Approx. 20seconds after the car has left the tunnel, thelighting returns to daytime running lights. Ifthe car is driven into another tunnel within thistime period then dipped beam is keptswitched on. This prevents frequent changesto the car lighting.

To bear in mind

Before the breath testIn order to obtain correct function and asaccurate a measurement result as possible:

• Avoid eating or drinkingapprox. 5 minutes before the breath test.

• Avoid excess windscreen washing - thealcohol in the washer fluid may result inan incorrect measurement result.

Change of driverIn order to ensure that a new breath test iscarried out in the event of a change of driver -depress the switch (2) and the send button (3)simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds. Atwhich point the car returns to start inhibitionmode and a new approved breath test isrequired before starting the engine.

Calibration and serviceThe Alcolock must be checked and calibratedat a workshop2 every 12 months.

30 days before recalibration is necessary thecombined instrument panel shows the mes-sage Alcoguard Calibr. required. If calibra-tion is not carried out within these 30 daysthen normal engine starting will be blocked -only starting with the Bypass function will

then be possible, see page 113 sectionEmergency situation.

The message can be cleared by pressing thesend button (3) once. Otherwise it goes outon its own after approx. 2 minutes but thenreappears each time the engine is started -only recalibration at a workshop2 can clearthe message permanently.

Cold or hot weatherThe colder the weather the longer it takesbefore the Alcolock 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 Alcolock requires additional powersupply. The combined instrument panelshows Alcoguard insert power cable. Inwhich case, connect the power supply cablefrom the glovebox and wait until indicatorlamp (6) is green.

In extremely cold weather the heating timecan be reduced by taking the Alcolockindoors.

Emergency situationIn the event of an emergency situation or theAlcolock is out of order, it is possible tobypass the Alcolock in order to drive the car.

NOTE

Jump starting

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

When jump starting the car, the followingsteps are recommended to avoid short cir-cuits or other damage:

1. Insert the remote control key in key posi-tion 0, see page 81.

2. Check that the donor battery has a volt-age of 12 V.

3. If the donor battery is installed in anothercar - switch off the donor car's engineand make sure that the two cars do nottouch each other.

4. Connect one of the red jump lead'sclamps to the donor battery's positiveterminal (1).

IMPORTANT

Connect the start cable carefully to avoidshort circuits with other components in theengine compartment.

5. Open the clips on the front cover of thebattery in your car and remove the cover.

6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamponto the car's positive terminal (2).

7. Connect one of the black jump lead'sclamps to the donor battery's negativeterminal (3).

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

9. Check that the jump lead clamps areaffixed securely so that there are nosparks during the starting procedure.

10. Start the engine of the "donor car" andallow it to run a few minutes at a speedslightly higher than idleapprox. 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 withthe battery's positive terminal or theclamp connected to the red jump lead!

WARNING

• The battery can generate oxyhydrogengas, which is highly explosive. A sparkcan be formed if a jump lead is con-nected incorrectly, and this can beenough for the battery to explode.

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

• If sulphuric acid comes into contactwith eyes, skin or clothing, flush withlarge quantities of water. If acidsplashes into the eyes - seek medicalattention immediately.

General

IMPORTANT

To prevent damage to any drive systemcomponents, the working temperature ofthe gearbox is checked. If there is a risk ofoverheating, a warning symbol in the com-bined instrument lights up and a text mes-sage is shown. Follow the recommenda-tion given in the text message.

Start assistance on a hill - HSA*The foot brake can be released before settingoff or reversing uphill - the HSA (Hill StartAssist) function means that the car does notroll backwards.

The function means that the pedal pressure inthe brake system remains for several secondswhile the driver's foot is moved from brakepedal to accelerator pedal.

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

Manual gearbox

Gearing pattern.

Look at the actual gearshift pattern imprintedon the gear lever.

• Depress the clutch pedal fully duringeach gear change.

• Take your foot off the clutch pedalbetween gear changes.

WARNING

Always apply the parking brake whenparking on a slope - leaving the car in gearis not sufficient to hold the car in all situa-tions.

Reverse gear inhibitorThe reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possi-bility of mistakenly attempting to engagereverse gear during normal forward travel.

• Follow the gearing pattern printed on thegear lever and start from neutral position,N then depress the gear lever beforemoving it to R position.

• Engage reverse gear only when the car isstationary.

Gear shift indicator*An essential detail in connection with environ-mental driving is to drive in the right gear andto change gear in plenty of time.

An indicator is available as an aid on somevariants - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) - whichnotifies the driver when it is appropriate toengage the next higher or lower gear in orderto 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 tochange gear at a higher engine speed. Theframed number indicates the current gear.

IMPORTANT

The car must be stationary when posi-tion P is selected.

WARNING

Always apply the parking brake whenparking on a slope - the automatic trans-mission in P is not sufficient to hold the carin all situations.

R – ReverseThe car must be stationary when position R isselected.

N – NeutralNo gear is engaged and the engine can bestarted. Apply the parking brake if the car isstationary with the gear selector in position N.

D – DriveD is the normal driving position. Shifting upand down takes place automatically based onthe level of acceleration and speed. The carmust be stationary when the gear selector ismoved to position D from position R.

Geartronic – Manual gear positions (+/-)The driver can also change gear manuallyusing the Geartronic automatic gearbox. Thecar engine-brakes when the accelerator pedalis released.

The manual gear position is reached by mov-ing the lever to the side from position D to theend position at "+/-". The combined instru-ment panel's symbol "+/-" changes colourfrom WHITE to ORANGE and the digits 1, 2, 3etc. are displayed in a box which corre-sponds to the gear that has just beenselected.

• Move the lever forwards towards "+"(plus) to change up a gear and release thelever, which returns to its neutral positionbetween "+" and "–".

or

• Pull the lever back towards "–" (minus) tochange down a gear and release it.

The manual gearshift mode "+/-" can beselected at any time while driving.

Geartronic automatically shifts down if thedriver allows the speed to decrease lowerthan a level suitable for the selected gear, inorder to avoid jerking and stalling.

To return to automatic driving mode:

• Move the lever to the side to the endposition at D.

NOTE

f the gearbox has a Sport programme thenthe gearbox will only become manual afterthe lever has been moved forwards orbackwards in its "+/-" position. The com-bined instrument panel then shifts the indi-cation from S to show which of the gears1, 2, 3 etc. is engaged.

Geartronic - Sport mode (S)The Sport programme providessportier characteristics and allowshigher 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, leadingto a delayed upshift.

To activate Sport mode:

• Move the gear selector to the side from Dposition to the end position at "+S–" - thecombined instrument panel changes indi-cation from D to S.

Sport mode can be selected at any time whiledriving.

Geartronic - Winter modeIt can be easier to pull away on slippery roadsif 3rd gear is engaged manually.

1. Depress the brake pedal and move thegear selector from D position to the end

position at "+/–" - the combined instru-ment panel shifts the indication from D tothe figure 12.

2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the leverforward towards "+" (plus) twice - thecombined instrument panel shifts theindication from 1 to 3.

3. Release the brake and accelerate care-fully.

The gearbox "winter mode" means that thecar moves off with a lower engine speed andreduced engine power on the drive wheels.

Kick-downWhen the accelerator pedal is pressed all theway to the floor (beyond the position normallyregarded as full acceleration) a lower gear isimmediately engaged. This is known as kick-down.

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

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

Safety functionTo prevent overrevving the engine, the gear-box control program has a protective down-

shift inhibitor which prevents the kick-downfunction.

Geartronic does not permit downshifting/kick-down which would result in an enginespeed high enough to damage the engine.Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shiftdown in this way at high engine speed – theoriginal gear remains engaged.

When kick-down is activated the car canchange one or more gears at a time depend-ing on engine speed. The car changes upwhen the engine reaches its maximum speedin order to prevent damage to the engine.

Mechanical gear selector inhibitor

G021351

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

With the inhibitor button depressed the levercan be moved forwards or backwardsbetween P, R, N and D.

Automatic gear selector inhibitorThe automatic gearbox has special safetysystems:

Parking position (P)Stationary car with engine running:

• Keep your foot on the brake pedal whenmoving the gear selector to another posi-tion.

Electric gear inhibitor – ShiftlockParking position (P)To be able to move the gear selector from Pto other gear positions, the brake pedal mustbe depressed and the remote control keymust be in position II, see page 81.

Shiftlock – Neutral (N)If the gear selector is in the N position andthe car has been stationary for at least 3 sec-onds (irrespective of whether the engine isrunning) then the gear selector is locked.

Deactivate automatic gear selectorinhibitor

If the car cannot be driven, e.g. due to a flatbattery, the gear selector must be movedfrom the P position so that the car can bemoved.

Lift out the contoured insert in the com-partment behind the centre console andlocate 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.

4. Refit the storage compartment insert.

Automatic gearbox Powershift*

D: Automatic gear positions. +/–: Manual gearpositions. S: Sport mode*.3

The Powershift automatic gearbox transmitsthe motive force from the engine to the drivewheels with double mechanical clutch discs,as opposed to Geartronic which instead usesa conventional hydraulic torque converter.

Powershift transmission operates in the sameway4 and has similar controls and functions

as the Geartronic automatic gearbox descri-bed in the previous section.

Powershift or Geartronic?In the event of uncertainty as to whether ornot the car is equipped with Powershift trans-mission, this can be verified by checking thedesignation on the gearbox label under thebonnet - see page 376. The designa-tion ”MPS6” means that it is Powershift trans-mission - otherwise it is Geartronic automatictransmission.

To bear in mindThe transmission's double clutch has over-load protection that is activated if it becomestoo hot, e.g. if the car is held stationary withthe accelerator pedal on an uphill gradient fora long time.

Overheated transmission causes the car toshake and vibrate, and the warning symbolilluminates and the combined instrumentpanel shows a message. The transmissioncan also overheat during slow driving inqueues (10 km/h or slower) on an uphill gradi-ent, or with a trailer hitched. The transmissioncools down when the car is stationary, withfoot brake depressed and the engine runningat idling speed.

3 The gear lever's gearshift pattern varies depending on engine option.4 One exception is the heading "Geartronic - Winter mode": Powershift enables driving away on a slippery road surface if 2nd gear is engaged manually - not 3rd gear.

Page 125: Owners Manual

03 Your driving environment

}}123

Overheating during slow driving in queuescan be avoided by driving in stages:

• Stop the car and wait with your foot onthe brake pedal until there is a moderatedistance to the traffic ahead, drive for-ward a short distance, and then waitanother moment with your foot on thebrake pedal.

IMPORTANT

Use the foot brake to hold the car station-ary on an uphill gradient - do not hold thecar with the accelerator pedal. The gear-box could then overheat.

Quieter and cleanerEnvironmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor-poration's core values and it influences all ofour operations. This target orientation hasresulted in several separate energy-savingfunctions of which Start/Stop is one, all withthe collective task of reducing fuel consump-tion, which in turn helps to reduce exhaustemissions.

General information on Start/Stop

The engine is switched off - it becomes quieterand cleaner...

Some engine and gearbox combinationscome fitted with a Start and Stop functionwhich engages in the event of e.g. stationarytraffic or waiting at traffic lights - the engine isthen switched off temporarily and restarts

automatically when the journey is due to con-tinue.

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

Manual or AutomaticNote that there are differences in theStart/Stop function depending on whether thegearbox is manual or automatic.

Function and operation

Start/StopThe function isactivated automatically whenthe engine is started with thekey. The driver is alerted tothe function by means of thesymbol for the On/Off buttonilluminating in the combinedinstrument panel and thelamp in the On/Off buttonilluminating.

All of the car's normal systems such as light-ing, radio, etc. work as normal even with anengine that has stopped automatically,except that some equipment may have thefunction temporarily reduced, e.g. the climate

control system's fan speed or extremely highvolume on the audio system.

Auto-stopping the engineThe following is required for the engine toauto-stop:

Conditions M/AA

Declutch, set the gear lever in neu-tral position and release the clutchpedal - the engine stops automati-cally.

M

Stop the car with the foot brakeand then keep your foot on thepedal - the engine stops automati-cally.

A

A M = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox.

In some cases the engine stops automaticallybefore the car is completely stationary.

The combined instrument panel'ssymbols for the Start/Stop functionilluminate as verification andreminder that the engine has stop-ped automatically.

A

A M = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox.

Start assistance HSAThe foot brake can also be released on anuphill gradient to start the engine automati-cally - the (Hill Start Assist) function meansthat the car does not roll backwards.

HSA means that the pressure in the brakesystem remains temporarily available whilethe driver's foot is moved from the brakepedal to the accelerator pedal for driving offwith the engine having stopped automatically.The temporary braking effect releases after acouple of seconds or when the driver acceler-ates.

There is more information available on HSAon page 118.

Deactivating the Start/Stop functionIn certain situations, it mayadvisable to temporarilyswitch off the automaticStart/Stop function - this iscarried out with a push ofthis button.

Disengaged function is indicated bythe combined instrument panel'sStart/Stop symbols and the button'slamp extinguishing.

The Start/Stop function is disengaged until itis reactivated with the button or until the nexttime the engine is started with the key.

GeneralThe car is equipped with two brake circuits. Ifone brake circuit is damaged then this willmean that the brakes engage at a deeperlevel and harder pressure on the pedal is nee-ded to produce the normal braking effect.

The driver's brake pedal pressure is assistedby a brake servo.

WARNING

The brake servo only works when theengine is running.

If the brake is used when the engine isswitched off then the pedal will feel stiff andmore force must be used to brake the car.

In very hilly terrain or when driving with aheavy load the brakes can be relieved byusing engine braking. Engine braking is mostefficiently used if the same gear is useddownhill as up.

For more general information on heavy loadson the car, see page 383.

Anti-lock braking systemThe car is equipped with ABS (Anti-lockBraking System) which prevents the wheelsfrom locking during braking. This means theability to steer is maintained and it is easier to

swerve to avoid a hazard for example. Vibra-tion may be felt in the brake pedal when thisis engaged and this is normal.

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

Emergency brake lights and automatichazard warning flashersEmergency brake lights are activated to alertvehicles behind about sudden braking. Thefunction means that the brake light flashesinstead of - as in normal braking - shiningwith a constant glow.

Emergency brake lights are activated atspeeds above 50 km/h if the ABS system isworking and/or in the event of sudden brak-ing. Once the car's speed has been braked tobelow 10 km/h, the brake light stops flashingand returns to a normal constant glow - haz-ard warning flashers are activated at thesame time, which flash until the driver accel-erates the car to at least 20 km/h or they areswitched off with their button, see page 94.

Cleaning the brake discsCoatings of dirt and water on the brake discsmay result in delayed brake function. Thisdelay is minimised by cleaning the brake lin-ings.

Manual cleaning is advisable with wet roadsurfaces, prior to long-stay parking and afterthe car has been washed. Carry this out bybraking gently during a short period while enroute.

Emergency Brake AssistanceEmergency Brake Assistance EBA(Emergency Brake Assist) helps to increasebrake force and so reduce braking distance.EBA detects the driver's braking style andincreases brake force as necessary. Thebrake force can be reinforced up to the levelwhen the ABS system is engaged. The EBAfunction is interrupted when the pressure onthe brake pedal is reduced.

NOTE

When EBA is activated the brake pedallowers slightly more than usual, depress(hold) the brake pedal as long as neces-sary. If the brake pedal is released then allbraking ceases.

DSTC – Stability and traction control system

04

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

General information on DSTC

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

The activation of the system during brakingmay be noticed as a throbbing sound. Thecar may accelerate slower than expectedwhen the accelerator pedal is depressed.

WARNING

The stability and traction control system isa supplementary function - it cannot han-dle all situations in all road conditions.

The driver always bears responsibility forensuring that the vehicle is driven safelyand that applicable road traffic rules andregulations are followed.

Active Yaw ControlThe function limits the driving and brake forceof the wheels individually in order to stabilisethe car.

Spin ControlThe function reduces engine power if thedrive wheels slip against the underlying sur-face in order to maintain stability and traction.

Traction control systemThe 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 - EDCEDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun-tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down orengine braking when driving in low gears onslippery road surfaces.

Involuntary wheel locking while driving can,amongst other things, impair the driver's abil-ity to steer the car.

Corner Traction Control – CTCCTC compensates for understeer and allowshigher than normal acceleration in a bendwithout wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. onan arcing motorway entrance road to quicklyreach the prevailing traffic speed.

Driver Steering Recommendation – DSRDSR (Driver Steering Recommendation) helpsthe driver steer the car in the right directionwhen there is reduced traction or when theABS system engages.

The primary role of the DSR function is tohelp the driver steer in the right directionwhen the car is skidding.

DSR engages by applying slight torque to thesteering wheel in the direction in which the

car should be steered to maintain/achievemaximum possible traction and stabilise thecar.

Trailer Stability Assist* - TSAThe function serves to stabilise the car andtrailer combination if it begins to snake, seepage 309.

NOTE

The function is deactivated if the driverselects Sport mode.

Operation

Selection of level - Sport modeThe DSTC system is always activated - itcannot be deactivated.

However, the driver can select the Sportmode, which allows for a more active drivingexperience. In Sport mode the systemdetects whether the accelerator pedal, steer-ing wheel movements and cornering are moreactive than in normal driving and then allowscontrolled skidding with the rear section up toa certain level before it intervenes and stabil-ises the car.

If the driver stops a controlled skid by releas-ing the accelerator pedal then the DSTC sys-tem intervenes and stabilises the car.

04 Driver support

DSTC – Stability and traction control system

With Sport mode, maximum traction isobtained if the car has become stuck, orwhen driving on a loose surface - e.g. sand ordeep snow.

Proceed as follows to select Sport mode:

1. Press the centre console button MY CARand search in the screen's menu systemand locate My V40 DSTC. (For infor-mation on the menu system, seepage 207).

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

driving style.

The Sport mode is active until the driverdeselects it or until the engine is switched off- after the engine is started the next time theDSTC system is back in its normal modeagain.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 143

General information on RSI

Examples of readable speed related1 signs.

The Road sign information function (RSI –Road Sign Information) helps the driver toremember which road signs the car haspassed through information on - among otherthings - the current speed, the start/end of amotorway or road, and when overtaking isprohibited.

If both a sign for motorway/road for motor-ised traffic and a sign showing the maximumpermitted speed are passed, RSI decides toshow the sign symbol for maximum permittedspeed.

WARNING

RSI does not work in all situations but isdesigned merely as a supplementary aid.

The driver always bears ultimate responsi-bility for ensuring that the vehicle is drivensafely and that applicable road traffic rulesand regulations are followed.

Operation

Recorded speed information1.

When RSI has recorded a road sign with animposed speed, the combined instrumentpanel displays the sign as a symbol.

Together with the symbol forthe current speed limit, asign showing that overtakingis prohibited may also bedisplayed where appropriate.

End of restriction or motorwayA corresponding road sign is shown in thecombined instrument panel forapprox. 10 seconds in situations where RSIdetects a sign that involves the end of aspeed 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 isdetected.

Additional signs

Examples of additional signs1.

Sometimes different speed limits are signpos-ted for the same road - an additional signthen indicates the circumstances under whichthe different speeds apply. The road sectionmay be particularly susceptible to accidentsin rain and/or fog, for example.

An additional sign relating to rain is displayedonly if the windscreen wipers are in use.

The speed applicable on anexit is indicated in certainmarkets by means of anadditional sign containing anarrow.

Speed signs linked to thistype of additional sign are displayed only ifthe driver is using the direction indicator.

Some speeds are applicableonly after a specific distanceor at a certain time of day,for example. The driver'sattention is drawn to the sit-uation by means of a symbolfor an additional sign under

the symbol showing speed.

Display of additional informationA symbol for additional signin the form of an emptyframe under the combinedinstrument panel's speedsymbol means that the RSIhas detected an additionalsign with supplementary

information for the current speed limit.

Adaptive cruise control*

04

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

General information on ACCThe adaptive cruise control (ACC – AdaptiveCruise Control) helps the driver maintain asafe distance from the vehicle ahead. Adap-tive cruise control provides a more relaxingdriving experience on long journeys onmotorways and long straight main roads insmooth traffic flows.

The driver sets the desired speed and timeinterval to the car in front. When the radardetector detects a slower vehicle in front ofthe car, the speed is automatically adapted tothat. When the road is clear again the carreturns to the selected speed.

If the adaptive cruise control is switched offor set to the standby mode and the carcomes too close to a vehicle in front, then thedriver is warned instead by Distance Warning(see page 161) about the short distance.

WARNING

The driver must always be observant withregard to the traffic conditions and inter-vene when the adaptive cruise control isnot maintaining a suitable speed or suita-ble distance.

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

Read the whole of this section for informa-tion on the limitations of the adaptivecruise control. The driver must be familiarwith this information before using theadaptive cruise control.

The driver always bears responsibility formaintaining the correct distance andspeed, even when the adaptive cruise con-trol is being used.

IMPORTANT

Maintenance of adaptive cruise controlcomponents must only be performed at aworkshop - an authorised Volvo workshopis recommended.

Automatic gearboxCars with automatic gearbox have enhancedfunctionality with the adaptive cruise control'sQueue Assistant, see page 155.

04 Driver support

Adaptive cruise control*

04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 151

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control is not a collisionavoidance system. The driver must inter-vene if the system does not detect a vehi-cle in front.

The adaptive cruise control does not brakefor humans or animals, and not for smallvehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-cles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationaryvehicles and objects.

Do not use the adaptive cruise control, forexample, in city traffic, in dense traffic, atjunctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lotof water or slush on the road, in heavyrain/snow, in poor visibility, on windingroads or on slip roads.

The distance to the vehicle ahead is mainlymeasured by a radar sensor. Cruise controlregulates the speed with acceleration andbraking. It is normal for the brakes to emit alow sound when they are being used by theadaptive cruise control.

WARNING

The brake pedal moves when Cruise Con-trol brakes. Do not rest your foot beneaththe brake pedal as it may become trapped.

The adaptive cruise control aims to follow thevehicle ahead in the same lane at a time inter-val set by the driver. If the radar sensor can-not see any vehicle in front then the car willinstead maintain the cruise control's setspeed. This also happens if the speed of thevehicle in front exceeds the cruise control'sset speed.

The adaptive cruise control aims to controlthe speed in a smooth way. In situations thatdemand sudden braking the driver mustbrake himself/herself. This applies with largedifferences in speed, or if the vehicle in frontbrakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radarsensor, braking may come unexpectedly ornot at all, see page 157.

The adaptive cruise control can be activatedto follow another vehicle at speeds from30 km/h2 up to 200 km/h. If the speed fallsbelow 30 km/h or if the engine speedbecomes too low, the cruise control is set instandby mode at which automatic brakingceases - the driver must then take over him-self/herself to maintain a safe distance to thevehicle ahead.

Warning lamp - braking by driverrequiredAdaptive cruise control has a brakingcapacity that is equivalent to more than 40%of the car's braking capacity.

If the car needs to be braked more heavilythan cruise control capacity and the driverdoes not brake, then the cruise control usesthe collision warning system's warning lampand warning sound (see figure on page 170)to alert the driver that immediate interventionis required.

NOTE

The warning lamp may be difficult to see instrong sunlight or when wearing sun-glasses.

WARNING

Cruise Control warns only of vehicleswhich the radar sensor has detected.Hence the warning may not be given, or itmay be given with a certain delay. Do notwait for a warning without braking when sorequired.

Activating and setting the speedTo enable cruise control:

• Press the steering wheel button - asimilar WHITE symbol is illuminated in thecombined instrument panel (6) whichshows that the cruise control is instandby mode.

To activate cruise control:

• At the required speed - press the steeringwheel button or .

> The current speed is stored in the mem-ory, the combined instrument panelshows a "magnifying glass" around theselected speed for a second or so and itsmarking (6) changes from WHITE toGREEN.

When this symbol changes colourfrom WHITE to GREEN, the cruisecontrol is active and the car main-

tains the stored speed.

Only when the symbol showsa picture of another vehicle isthe distance to the vehicle infront controlled by the cruisecontrol.

At the same time a speedrange is marked:

• the higher speed withGREEN marking (6) is thepreprogrammed speed

• the lower speed is thespeed of the car in front.

Changing the speedTo change the stored speed:

• Adjust with short presses on or -every press gives +/- 5 km/h. The lastpresses made are stored in the memory.

If speed is increased using the accelera-tor pedal prior to pressing the / but-ton, then it is the car's current speedwhen the button is pressed that is storedin the cruise control.

To adjust +/- 1 km/h:

• Hold down the button and release it atthe required speed.

NOTE

If any of the Cruise Control buttons areheld depressed for several minutes then itis blocked and deactivated. To be able toreactivate Cruise Control, the car must bestopped and the engine restarted.

In certain situations, cruise control cannotbe activated. In this case, the combinedinstrument panel shows Cruise controlUnavailable, see page 159.

Set time intervalDifferent time intervals to thevehicle in front can beselected and shown in thecombined instrument panelas 1-5 horizontal lines - themore lines the longer thetime interval. One line corre-

sponds to approximately 1 second to thevehicle in front, 5 linesapproximately 3 seconds.

To set/change the time interval:

• Turn the steering wheel button set'sthumbwheel (or use the / buttons forcars without Speed limiters).

At low speed, when the distances are short,the adaptive cruise control increases the timeinterval slightly.

Page 156: Owners Manual

04 Driver support

Adaptive cruise control*

04

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

The adaptive cruise control allows the timeinterval to vary noticeably in certain situationsin order to allow the car to follow the vehiclein front smoothly and comfortably.

Note that a short time interval only allows thedriver a short time to react and take action ifany unforeseen traffic problem should arise.

The same symbol is also shown when Dis-tance Warning is activated, see page 161.

NOTE

Only use the time intervals permitted bylocal traffic regulations.

If Cruise Control does not appear to reactwhen activated, this may be because thetime distance to the car in front is prevent-ing an increase in speed.

The higher the speed the longer the calcu-lated distance in metres for a given timeinterval.

Temporary deactivation - standby modeTo temporarily disengage adaptive cruisecontrol and set it in standby mode:

• Press the steering wheel button

This symbol and stored speed mark-ing then changes colour fromGREEN to WHITE.

Keypad without Speed limiter*To temporarily disengage cruise control andset it in standby mode:

• Press the steering wheel button .

Standby mode due to driver interventionThe adaptive cruise control is temporarily dis-engaged and set automatically in standbymode if:

• the foot brake is used

• the clutch pedal is depressed for longerthan 1 minute4

• the gear selector/lever is moved to neu-tral position N (automatic gearbox)

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

The driver must then regulate the speed.

A temporary increase in speed with the accel-erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does notaffect the cruise control setting - the carreturns to the last stored speed when theaccelerator pedal is released.

Automatic standby modeThe adaptive cruise control is dependent onother systems, such as DSTC (see page 140).If any of these systems stop working thencruise control is automatically deactivated.

In the event of automatic deactivation a signalwill sound and the message Cruise controlCancelled is shown in the combined instru-ment panel. The driver must then interveneand adapt the speed and distance to thevehicle 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/h5

• wheels lose traction

• brake temperature is high

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

Resume set speedAdaptive cruise control in standby mode isreactivated with one press on the steeringwheel button - the speed is then set to thelast stored speed.

Overtaking another vehicleWhen the car is following another vehicle andthe driver indicates an impending overtakingmanoeuvre with the direction indicator6, theadaptive cruise control helps to briefly accel-erate the car towards the vehicle in front.

This function is active at speedsabove 70 km/h.

WARNING

Be aware that this function can be acti-vated in more situations other than duringovertaking, e.g. when a direction indicatoris used to indicate a change of lane or exitto another road - the car will then acceler-ate briefly.

Deactivate

Keypad with Speed limiterThe adaptive cruise control is disengagedwith a short press of the steering wheel but-

ton . The set speed is cleared and cannotbe resumed with the button.

Keypad without Speed limiterA short press on the steering wheel button

sets the adaptive cruise control in standbymode. With a further short press the cruisecontrol is deactivated. The set speed iscleared and cannot be resumed with the button.

Switch from ACC to CCA button press can be used to deactivate theadaptive element (spacing system) in theadaptive cruise control, with the car then onlyfollowing the set speed.

• Hold down the steering wheel button - the combined instrument panel's sym-bol changes from to .

> This activates the standard cruise controlCC (Cruise Control), see page 148.

WARNING

The car no longer brakes automaticallyafter switching from ACC to CC - it merelyfollows the set speed.

Switch from CC back to ACCDeactivate CC with 1-2 presses on asdescribed under the heading "Deactivate".ACC will be activated the next time the sys-tem is switched on.

Queue AssistantIn cars with automatic gearbox the adaptivecruise control is supplemented with theQueue Assist function (also referred to as"Queue Assist").

Queue Assistant has the following functions:

• Extended speed range - also below 30km/h and at standstill

• Change of target

• Automatic braking ceases when station-ary

Note that the lowest programmable speed forthe adaptive cruise control is 30 km/h - eventhough the cruise control is capable of follow-ing another vehicle down to a standstill, alower speed cannot be selected.

Extended speed range

NOTE

In order to activate the cruise control thedriver's door must be closed and the drivermust be wearing the seatbelt.

With an automatic gearbox, the adaptivecruise control can follow another vehiclewithin the range 0-200 km/h.

NOTE

Activation of the cruise control below30 km/h requires a vehicle in front within areasonable distance.

For shorter stops in connection with inchingin slow traffic or at traffic lights driving isautomatically resumed if the stops do notexceed approx. 3 seconds - if it takes longerbefore the car in front starts moving againthen the cruise control is set in standby modewith automatic braking. The driver must thenreactivate 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 stationaryfor a maximum of 4 minutes - then thebrakes release.

See more information under the headerbelow, "Cessation of automatic brakingwhen stationary".

Change of target

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

When the adaptive cruise control is followinganother vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h andchanges target from a moving to a stationaryvehicle, the cruise control will slow down forthe stationary vehicle.

WARNING

When the cruise control is followinganother vehicle at speeds in excess of30 km/h and the target is changed from amoving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, thecruise control will ignore the stationaryvehicle and instead select the storedspeed.

• The driver must intervene him/herselfand brake.

Automatic standby mode with changeof targetThe adaptive cruise control is disengagedand set in standby mode:

• when the speed is below 5 km/h andcruise control is not sure whether the tar-get object is a stationary vehicle or someother object, e.g. a speed bump.

• when the speed is below 5 km/h and thevehicle in front turns off so the cruisecontrol no longer has a vehicle to follow.

Termination of automatic braking at astandstillIn the following situations, Queue Assiststops automatic braking at a standstill:

• the driver opens the door

• the driver takes off his seatbelt

Page 159: Owners Manual

04 Driver support

Adaptive cruise control*

04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 157

This means that the brakes are released andthe car will start to roll - the driver must there-fore intervene and brake the car himself inorder to maintain its position.

IMPORTANT

Queue Assist can keep the car stationaryfor a maximum of 4 minutes - then thebrakes release.

The driver's attention is drawn to this overseveral stages, with increasing intensity:

1. Acoustic alarm (pinging) and text mes-sage.

2. A warning lamp in the windscreen alsostarts to flash.

3. "Stabbing" braking occurs.

Queue Assist releases the foot brake and isset to standby mode in these situations aswell:

• the driver puts his/her foot on the brakepedal

• the gear selector is moved to P, N or Rposition

• the driver sets the cruise control instandby mode

• the parking brake is applied.

The radar sensor and its limitationsThe radar sensor is used - apart from byAdaptive cruise control - by the followingfunctions as well:

• Collision Warning with Auto Brake,seepage 170

• Distance Warning, see page 161.

The function of the radar sensor is to detectcars or larger vehicles in the same direction,in the same lane.

Modification of the radar sensor could resultin it being illegal to use.

IMPORTANT

In the event of visible damage to the car'sgrille, or if you suspect that the radar sen-sor may be damaged:

• Contact a workshop - an authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended.

The function may completely or partiallydisappear - or malfunction - if the grille,the radar sensor or its bracket is damagedor has loosened.

WARNING

The driver must always be observant withregard to the traffic conditions and inter-vene when the adaptive cruise control isnot maintaining a suitable speed or suita-ble distance.

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

Read the whole of this section for informa-tion on the limitations of the adaptivecruise control. The driver must be familiarwith this information before using theadaptive cruise control.

The driver always bears responsibility formaintaining the correct distance andspeed, even when the adaptive cruise con-trol is being used.

WARNING

Accessories or other objects such as auxil-iary lamps must not be fitted in front of thegrille.

Page 160: Owners Manual

04 Driver support

Adaptive cruise control*

04

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

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control is not a collisionavoidance system. The driver must inter-vene if the system does not detect a vehi-cle in front.

The adaptive cruise control does not brakefor humans or animals, and not for smallvehicles such as bicycles and motorcy-cles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationaryvehicles and objects.

Do not use the adaptive cruise control, forexample, in city traffic, in dense traffic, atjunctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lotof water or slush on the road, in heavyrain/snow, in poor visibility, on windingroads or on slip roads.

The capacity of the radar sensor to detectvehicles in front is reduced significantly:

• if the radar sensor becomes blocked andcannot detect other vehicles e.g. in heavyrain or slush, or if other objects have col-lected in front of the radar sensor.

NOTE

Keep the area in front of the radar sensorclean - see the "Maintenance" page 173

• if the speed of vehicles in front is signifi-cantly different from your own speed.

Examples where the cruise control doesnot work optimallyThe radar sensor has a limited field of vision.In some situations another vehicle is notdetected, or the detection is made later thanexpected.

ACC field of vision.

Sometimes the radar sensor is late atdetecting vehicles at close distances, e.g.a vehicle that drives in between the carand vehicles in front.

Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, orvehicles not driving in the centre of thelane can remain undetected.

In bends the radar sensor may detect thewrong vehicle or lose a detected vehiclefrom view.

Fault tracing and actionIf the combined instrument panel shows themessage Radar blocked See manual thismeans that the radar signals from the radarsensor are blocked and that vehicles in frontof the car cannot be detected.

In turn this means that - apart from AdaptiveCruise Control - Distance Warning and Colli-sion Warning with Auto Brake functions arenot operating either.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 161

GeneralDistance Warning (Distance Alert) is a func-tion that informs the driver about the timeinterval to vehicles in front.

Distance Warning is active at speeds above30 km/h and only reacts to vehicles driving infront of the car, in the same direction. No dis-tance information is provided for oncoming,slow or stationary vehicles.

Orange warning lamp1.

An orange warning lamp in the windscreenilluminates with a constant glow if the dis-tance to the vehicle in front is shorter than theset time interval.

NOTE

Distance warning is deactivated during thetime the adaptive cruise control is active.

WARNING

Distance warning only reacts if the dis-tance to the vehicle ahead is shorter thanthe preset value - the speed of the driver'svehicle is not affected.

Operation

Press the button in the centre console toswitch the function on or off. The function isswitched on if one lamp is illuminated in thebutton.

City Safety™

04

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

GeneralCity Safety™ is a function for helping thedriver to avoid a collision when driving inqueues, amongst other things, when changesin the traffic ahead, combined with a lapse inattention, could lead to an incident.

The function is active at speeds under50 km/h and it helps the driver by automati-cally braking the car in the event of imminentrisk of collision with vehicles in front, shouldthe driver not react in time by braking and/orsteering away.

City Safety™ is activated in situations wherethe driver should have started braking earlier,which is why it cannot help the driver in everysituation.

City Safety™ is designed to be activated aslate as possible in order to avoid unnecessaryintervention.

City Safety™ must not be used as an excusefor the driver to change his/her driving style. Ifthe driver solely relies on City Safety™ to dothe braking, there will be a collision sooner orlater.

The driver or passengers normally only noticeCity Safety™ if a situation arises where thecar is extremely close to being in a collision.

If the car is also equipped with a CollisionWarning function with Auto Brake*, these twosystems complement each other. For moreinformation on Collision Warning function withAuto Brake, see page 170.

IMPORTANT

Maintenance and replacement of CitySafety™ components must only be per-formed by a workshop - an authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended.

WARNING

City Safety™ does not engage in all driv-ing situations or traffic, weather or roadconditions.

City Safety™ does not react to vehiclesdriving in a different direction from the car,to small vehicles and motorcycles or topeople and animals.

City Safety™ can prevent collision at aspeed difference of less than 15 km/h - ata higher speed difference, it is only possi-ble to reduce collision speed. In order toobtain full brake function, the driver mustdepress the brake pedal.

Never wait for City Safety™ to engage.The driver always bears responsibility formaintaining the proper distance andspeed.

Function

Laser sensor transmitter and receiver window1.

City Safety™ detects the traffic in front of thecar with a laser sensor fitted in the top edgeof the windscreen. If there is an imminent riskof collision, City Safety™ will automaticallybrake the car, which may be experienced assudden braking.

If the speed difference is 4-15 km/h in relationto the vehicle in front then City Safety™ cancompletely prevent a collision.

City Safety™ activates a short, sharp brakingand 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 CitySafety™ may not prevent the collision on itsown. To obtain full brake force, the drivermust depress the brake pedal. This couldthen 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 to the effect that the function is/hasbeen active.

NOTE

When City Safety™ brakes, the brakelights come on.

Operation

NOTE

The City Safety™ function is always ena-bled after the engine has been started viakey position I and II (see page 81 on keypositions).

On and OffIn certain situations, it may advisable to disa-ble City Safety™, e.g. where leafy branchescould sweep over the bonnet and/or wind-screen.

After starting the engine City Safety™ can bedeactivated as follows:

• Using MY CAR on the centre console'sscreen with its menu system, search andlocate Settings Car settings Driversupport systems City Safety. Selectthe Off option. For more information onthe menu system MY CAR, seepage 207.

However, the function will be enabled thenext time the engine is started, regardlessof whether the system was enabled ordisabled when the engine was switchedoff.

WARNING

The laser sensor emits laser light evenwhen City Safety™ is disabled manually.

To enable City Safety™ again:

• Follow the same procedure as for disa-bling, but select the On option.

LimitationsThe sensor in City Safety™ is designed todetect cars and other large vehicles in front ofthe car irrespective of whether it is day ornight.

However, the sensor has limitations and haspoorer functionality - or none at all - in e.g.heavy snowfall or rain, dense fog, duststorms or white-out situations. Mist, dirt, iceor snow on the windscreen may disrupt thefunction.

Low-hanging objects, e.g. a flag/pennant forprojecting load, or accessories such as auxili-ary lamps and bull bars that are higher thanthe bonnet limit the function.

The laser light from the sensor in CitySafety™ measures how the light is reflected.The sensor cannot detect objects with lowreflection capacity. The rear sections of thevehicle generally reflect the light sufficientlythanks to the number plate and rear lightreflectors.

On slippery road surfaces the braking dis-tance is extended, which may reduce thecapacity of City Safety™ to avoid a collision.In such situations the ABS and DSTC sys-tems will provide best possible braking forcewith 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 doesnot intervene in situations where a vehicle infront is being approached very slowly, e.g.when parking.

Driver commands are always prioritised,which is why City Safety™ does not intervenein situations where the driver is steering oraccelerating in a clear manner, even if a colli-sion is unavoidable.

When City Safety™ has prevented a collisionwith a stationary object the car remains sta-tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If thecar is braked for a vehicle in front that is mov-ing, then speed is reduced to the same speedas that maintained by the vehicle in front.

On a car with manual gearbox the enginestops when City Safety™ has stopped thecar, unless the driver manages to depress theclutch pedal beforehand.

NOTE

• Keep the windscreen surface in frontof the laser sensor free from ice, snowand dirt (see the illustration for sensorlocation, page 165).

• Do not affix or mount anything on thewindscreen in front of the laser sensor

• Remove ice and snow from the bonnet- snow and ice must not exceed aheight of 5 cm.

Fault tracing and actionIf the combined instrument panel shows themessage Windscreen sensors blockedSee manual then it indicates that the lasersensor is blocked and cannot detect vehiclesin front of the car. This means that CitySafety™ is not operational.

However, the message Windscreen sensorsblocked See manual is not shown for all sit-uations in which the laser sensor is blocked.The driver must therefore be diligent aboutkeeping the windscreen and area in front ofthe laser sensor clean.

The following table presents possible causesfor the message being shown, along withsuggestions for appropriate action.

Cause Action

The windscreen sur-face in front of thelaser sensor is dirty orcovered with ice orsnow.

Clean the wind-screen surface infront of the sensorfrom dirt, ice andsnow.

The laser sensor fieldof vision is blocked.

Remove theblocking object.

IMPORTANT

If there are cracks, scratches or stonechips in the windscreen in front of either ofthe laser sensor's "windows" and theycover a surface of approx. 0.5 x 3.0 mm(or larger), then a workshop must be con-tacted for replacement of the windscreen(see the illustration for sensor location,page 165) - an authorised Volvo workshopis recommended.

Failure to take action may result inreduced performance for City Safety™.

To avoid the risk of failed, deficient orreduced operation for City Safety™, thefollowing also applies:

• Volvo recommends that you do notrepair cracks, scratches or stone chipsin the area in front of the laser sensor -instead, the whole windscreen shouldbe replaced.

• Before replacing a windscreen, con-tact an authorised Volvo workshop toverify that the correct windscreen isordered and fitted.

• The same type or Volvo-approvedwindscreen wipers must be fitted dur-ing replacement.

Laser sensorThe City Safety™ function includes a sensorwhich transmits laser light. Contact a quali-fied workshop in the event of a fault or if thelaser sensor needs servicing - an authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended. It is abso-lutely essential to follow the prescribedinstructions when handling the laser sensor.

The following two labels are affixed directlyon the laser sensor unit:

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

• Never look into the laser sensor (whichemits spreading invisible laser radia-tion) at a distance of 100 mm or closerwith magnifying optics such as a mag-nifying glass, microscope, lens or simi-lar optical instruments.

• Testing, repair, removal, adjustmentand/or replacement of the laser sen-sor's spare parts must only be carriedout 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 thanthose specified here.

• The repairer must follow speciallydrawn up workshop information for thelaser sensor.

• Do not remove the laser sensor (thisincludes removing the lenses). Aremoved laser sensor does not fulfil

laser class 3B as per standard IEC60825-1. Laser class 3B is not eye-safe and therefore entails a risk ofinjury.

• The laser sensor's connector must beunplugged before removal from thewindscreen.

• The laser sensor must be fitted ontothe windscreen before the sensor'sconnector is plugged in.

• The laser sensor transmits laser lightwhen the remote control key is in posi-tion II and also with the engineswitched off (see page 81 on key posi-tions).

Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection*

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

General"Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-trian Detection" is an aid to assist the driverwhen there is a risk of colliding with a pedes-trian or vehicle in front that is stationary ormoving in the same direction.

Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-trian Detection is activated in situations wherethe driver should have started braking earlier,which is why it cannot help the driver in everysituation.

Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-trian Detection is designed to be activated aslate as possible in order to avoid unnecessaryintervention.

Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-trian Detection may prevent a collision orreduce the collision speed.

Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedes-trian Detection must not be used as anexcuse for the driver to change his/her drivingstyle. If the driver solely relies on CollisionWarning with Auto Brake to do the braking,there will be a collision sooner or later.

Two system levelsDepending on how the car equipped, the Col-lision Warning with Auto Brake & PedestrianProtection function may appear in two vari-ants: Level 1 and Level 2.

Level 1The driver is merely warned of occurringobstacles by means of visual and acousticsignals - no automatic braking intervenes, thedriver must himself brake.

Level 2The driver is warned of occurring obstaclesby means of visual and acoustic signals - thecar is braked automatically if the driver him-self does not act within a reasonable time.

IMPORTANT

Maintenance of components included inCollision Warning with Auto Brake &Pedestrian Detection must only be carriedout in a workshop - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended.

The collision warning system and CitySafety™ complement each other. For moreinformation on City Safety™, see page 164.

1 - Collision warningThe driver is first warned of a potentiallyimminent collision.

The collision warning system detects pedes-trians, stationary vehicles as well as vehiclesdriving in the same direction in front of thecar.

If there is a risk of collision with a pedestrianor a vehicle, the driver's attention is attractedwith a flashing red warning signal (no. [1] inthe illustration on page 170) and an acousticsignal

2 - Brake support2

If the risk of collision has increased furtherafter the collision warning then the brake sup-port is activated.

This means that the brake system is preparedfor fast braking by applying the brakes gently,which may be experienced as a slight jerk.

If the brake pedal is depressed sufficientlyquickly then full brake function is imple-mented.

Brake support also reinforces the driver'sbraking if the system considers that the brak-ing is not sufficient to avoid a collision.

3 - Auto Brake2

The automatic brake function is activatedlast.

If in this situation the driver has not yetstarted to take evasive action and the risk ofcollision is imminent then the automatic brak-ing function is deployed - this takes placeirrespective of whether or not the driverbrakes. Braking then takes place with fullbrake force in order to reduce collision speed,or with limited brake force if it is sufficient toavoid a collision.

WARNING

The collision warning system does notengage in all driving situations or traffic,weather or road conditions. The collisionwarning system does not react to vehiclesdriving in another direction to the car or toanimals.

Warning only activated in the event of ahigh risk for collision. This section "Func-tion" and the section "Limitations" informabout limitations that the driver must beaware of before using the Collision Warn-ing system with Auto Brake.

Warnings and brake interventions forpedestrians are switched off at vehiclespeeds exceeding 80 km/h.

Warnings and brake interventions forpedestrians do not work in darkness andtunnels - not even when streetlights are lit.

The auto-brake function can prevent a col-lision or reduce collision speed. To ensurefull brake performance, the driver shouldalways depress the brake pedal - evenwhen the car auto-brakes.

Never wait for a collision warning. Thedriver is always responsible that the cor-rect distance and speed are maintained -even when the collision warning systemwith auto-brake is used.

Detection of pedestrians

Optimal examples of what the system regards aspedestrians with clear body contours.

Optimal performance of the system requiresthat the system function that detects pedes-trians receives as unambiguous informationas possible about the contours of the body -this implies the opportunity to identify thehead, arms, shoulders, legs, upper and lowerbody combined with a normal human patternof movement.

If large parts of the body are not visible to thecamera then the system cannot detect apedestrian.

• In order for a pedestrian to be detectedhe/she must appear full-length and havea height of at least 80 cm.

• The system cannot detect a pedestriancarrying larger items.

• The camera sensor's ability to see pedes-trians at dusk and dawn is limited - justlike the human eye.

• The camera sensor's capacity to detectpedestrians is deactivated when driving indarkness and tunnels - even when street-lights are lit.

WARNING

Collision Warning with Auto Brake &Pedestrian Detection is an assistance tool.

This function cannot detect all pedestriansin all situations and it cannot see e.g. parti-ally obscured pedestrians, people in cloth-ing that hides the contours of the body orpedestrians shorter than 80 cm.

• The driver is always responsible thatthe vehicle is driven properly and witha safety distance adapted to thespeed.

OperationSettings are made from MY CAR via the cen-tre console's screen and menu system. Forinformation on how the menu system is used,see page 207.

Warning signals On and OffYou can select whether the collision warningsystem's acoustic and visual warning signalsshould be switched on or off.

When starting the engine, the setting that wasselected when the engine was switched off isobtained automatically.

NOTE

The Brake Support and Auto Brake func-tions are always activated - they cannot bedeactivated.

Light and acoustic signalsTo deactivate the light and acoustic signals:

• Locate Settings Car settingsDriver support systems CollisionWarning - there select to uncheck thebox.

The warning lamp (no. [1] in the figure page170) is tested every time the engine is startedby briefly illuminating the warning lamp's sep-arate points of light if the collision warning

Warning sound.

Set warning distanceThe warning distance regulates the distanceat which the visual and acoustic warnings aredeployed.

• Select Long, Normal or Short in themenu system MY CAR under Settings

Car settings Driver supportsystems Collision WarningWarning distance

The warning distance determines the sys-tem's sensitivity. Warning distance Long pro-vides an earlier warning. First test with Longand if this setting produces too many warn-ings, which could be perceived as irritating incertain situations, then change to warningdistance Normal.

Only use warning distance Short in excep-tional cases, e.g. for dynamic driving.

NOTE

When the adaptive cruise control is in usethe warning lamp and warning sound willbe used by the cruise control even if thecollision warning system is switched off.

The collision warning system warns thedriver in the event of a risk of a collision,but the function cannot shorten driverreaction time.

In order for the collision warning system tobe effective, always drive with the Dis-tance Alert set at time interval 4–5, seepage 161.

NOTE

Even if the warning distance has been setto Long warnings could be perceived asbeing late in certain situations, e.g. whenthere are large differences in speed or ifvehicles in front brake heavily.

WARNING

No automatic system can guarantee100 % correct function in all situations.Therefore, never test Collision Warningwith Auto Brake by driving at people orvehicles - this may cause severe damageand injury and risk lives.

Checking settingsThe settings required can be controlled onthe centre console's screen. Search with themenu system MY CAR under Settings Carsettings Driver support systemsCollision Warning, see page 207.

Maintenance

Camera and radar sensor.

For the sensors to work correctly, they mustbe kept clear of dirt, ice and snow, and becleaned regularly with water and car sham-poo.

NOTE

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensorswill reduce their function and may preventmeasurement.

LimitationsCollision Warning with Auto Brake andPedestrian Detection is active fromapprox. 4 km/h.

The visual warning signal (no. [1] in the illus-tration on page 170) may be difficult to noticein the event of strong sunlight, reflections,when sunglasses are being worn or if thedriver is not looking straight ahead. The warn-ing sound should therefore always be acti-vated.

On slippery road surfaces the braking dis-tance is extended, which may reduce thecapacity to avoid a collision. In such situa-tions the ABS and DSTC systems will providebest possible braking force with maintainedstability.

NOTE

The visual warning signal can be temporar-ily disengaged in the event of high passen-ger compartment temperature caused bystrong sunlight for example. If this occursthen the warning sound is activated even ifit is deactivated in the menu system.

• Warnings may not appear if the dis-tance to the vehicle in front is small orif steering wheel and pedal move-ments are large, e.g. a very active driv-ing style.

WARNING

Warnings and brake interventions could beimplemented late or not at all if the trafficsituation or external influences mean thatthe radar or camera sensor cannot detecta pedestrian or a vehicle in front correctly.

The sensor system has a limited range forpedestrians and the system therefore pro-vides effective warnings and brake inter-ventions at vehicle speeds up to 50 km/h.For stationary or slow-moving vehicles,warnings and brake interventions areeffective at vehicle speeds up to 70 km/h.

Warnings for stationary or slow-movingvehicles could be disengaged due to dark-ness or poor visibility.

Warnings and brake interventions forpedestrians are switched off at vehiclespeeds exceeding 80 km/h.

The collision warning system uses the sameradar sensors as adaptive cruise control. Formore information on the radar sensor and itslimitations, see page 157.

If warnings are perceived as being too fre-quent or disturbing then the warning distancecan be reduced. This then leads to the sys-tem providing a warning at a later stage,which reduces the total number of warnings;see the section "Set warning distance" onpage 173.

Page 177: Owners Manual

04 Driver support

Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection*

04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 175

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 iswhy the system does not intervene in situa-tions where the car is approaching a vehiclein front very slowly, e.g. when parking.

In situations where the driver demonstratesactive, aware driving behaviour, a collisionwarning may be postponed slightly in order tokeep unnecessary warnings to a minimum.

When Auto Brake has prevented a collisionwith a stationary object the car remains sta-tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If thecar is braked for a vehicle in front that is mov-ing, then speed is reduced to the same speedas that maintained by the vehicle in front.

On a car with manual gearbox the enginestops when Auto Brake has stopped the car,unless the driver manages to depress theclutch pedal beforehand.

Camera sensor limitationsThe car’s camera sensor is also used - aswell as by Collision Warning with Auto Brake- by the functions:

• Automatic main/dipped beam dimming -see page 92

• Road sign information - see page 143.

• Driver Alert Control – see page 179

• Lane keeping assistant - see page 182

NOTE

Keep the windscreen surface in front of thecamera sensor free from ice, snow, mistand dirt.

Do not stick or attach anything to thewindscreen in front of the camera sensoras this may reduce effectiveness or causeone or more of the systems dependent onthe camera to stop working.

The camera sensors have limitations similarto the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse indarkness, heavy snowfall or rain and in thickfog for example. Under such conditions thefunctions of camera-dependent systemscould be significantly reduced or temporarilydisengaged.

Strong oncoming light, reflections in the car-riageway, snow or ice on the road surface,dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markingscould also significantly reduce camera sensorfunction 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 and vehicles

cannot be detected in some situations, orthey are detected later than anticipated.

During very high temperatures the camera istemporarily switched off for about 15 minutesafter the engine is started in order to protectcamera functionality.

Fault tracing and actionIf the combined instrument panel shows themessage Windscreen Sensors blockedthen this means that the camera sensor isblocked and cannot detect pedestrians, vehi-cles or road markings in front of the car.

At the same time, this means that - besidesCollision Warning with Auto Brake - the Auto-matic main/dipped beam dimming, Road SignInformation, Driver Alert Control and LaneKeeping Aid functions will not have full func-tionality either.

The following table presents possible causesfor a message being shown along with theappropriate action.

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

General information on Driver AlertSystemThe Driver Alert System is intended to assistdrivers whose driving ability is deteriorating orwho are inadvertently leaving the lane theyare driving on.

The Driver Alert System consists of differentfunctions which can either be switched on atthe same time or individually:

• Driver Alert Control – DAC, seepage 179.

• Lane Keeping Aid - LKA, see page 182.

A switched-on function is set in standbymode and is not activated automatically untilspeed exceeds 65 km/h.

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

The functions use a camera which is depend-ent on the lane having side markings paintedon each side.

WARNING

Driver Alert System does not work in allsituations but is designed merely as a sup-plementary aid.

The driver always bears ultimate responsi-bility for ensuring that the vehicle is drivensafely.

Driver Alert System - DAC*

04

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

General information on DAC

The DAC (Driver Alert Control) function isintended to attract the driver's attention whenhe/she starts to drive less consistently, e.g. ifhe/she becomes distracted or starts to fallasleep.

A camera detects the side markings paintedon the carriageway and compares the sectionof the road with the driver's steering wheelmovements. The driver is alerted if the vehicledoes not follow the carriageway evenly.

NOTE

The camera sensor has certain limitations -see page 175.

The objective for DAC is to detect slowlydeteriorating driving ability and it is primarilyintended for major roads. The function is notintended for city traffic.

In some cases driving ability is not affecteddespite driver fatigue. In which case theremay not be any warning issued for the driver.For this reason it is always important to stopand take a break in the event of any signs ofdriver fatigue, irrespective of whether or notDAC issues a warning.

NOTE

The function must not be used to extend aperiod of driving. Always plan breaks atregular intervals, and make sure you arewell rested.

LimitationIn some cases the system may issue a warn-ing despite driving ability not deteriorating, forexample:

• in strong side winds.

• on rutted road surfaces.

Driver Alert System - Lane Keeping Aid*

04

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

General information on the LaneKeeping Aid

The Lane Keeping Aid function (Lane KeepingAid) is intended for use on motorways andsimilar major roads to reduce the risk of thevehicle accidentally leaving its own lane incertain situations.

A camera reads the painted side lines of theroad/lane. If the car is about to cross a sideline, the Lane Keeping Aid actively steers thecar back into the lane with slight steering tor-que in the steering wheel.

If the car reaches or passes a side line, theLane Keeping Aid warns the driver with puls-ing vibrations in the steering wheel.

WARNING

LKA is merely a driver's aid and does notengage in all driving situations or traffic,weather or road conditions.

The driver always bears ultimate responsi-bility for ensuring that the vehicle is drivensafely and that applicable laws and roadtraffic regulations are followed.

FunctionThe Lane Keeping Aid is active within thespeed interval 65-200 km/h on roads withclearly visible side lines. The function is tem-porarily deactivated on narrow roads withless than 2.6 metres between the lane sidelines.

Off & OnPress the button in the centre console to acti-vate or deactivate the function. The functionis switched on if one lamp is illuminated in thebutton.

Some combinations of the selected equip-ment leave no vacant space for an On/Offbutton in the centre console - in which casethe function is handled instead by the car'smenu system MY CAR. Here, proceed as fol-lows:

• Select On or Off under Settings Carsettings Lane Keeping Aid.

For a description of the menu system - seepage 207.

In addition, the following selections can bemade in MY CAR:

• Warning with vibration in the steeringwheel: Vibration only - On or Off.

• Active steering: Steering assist only -On or Off.

• Both Warning with vibration in the steer-ing wheel and Active steering: Fullfunction - On or Off.

Active steeringThe Lane Keeping Aid strives to keep the carwithin the side lines for the lane.

LKA intervenes and steers away.

If the vehicle approaches the left or right sideline of the lane and the direction indicator isnot activated, the car is steered back into thelane.

Warning with vibration in the steeringwheel

LKA steers and warns with pulsing steeringwheel vibrations1.

If the vehicle passes a side line, the LaneKeeping Aid warns the driver with pulsingvibrations in the steering wheel. This occursregardless of whether the car is activelysteered back by applying a slight steering tor-que.

Dynamic cornering

LKA does not engage in sharp inside curves.

In certain cases, the Lane Keeping Aid allowsthe car to cross side lines without engagingactive steering or warning with pulsing vibra-tions in the steering wheel. Using an adjacentlane for dynamic cornering when there is aclear line of vision is an example of one suchcase.

LKA "sees" and follows the side lines (marked inred in the figure).

If the Lane Keeping Aid is active anddetects/"sees" the side lines, the LKA symbolis shown with WHITE lines.

• GREY side line – the Lane Keeping Aiddoes not see a line on that side of the car.

LKA intervenes on the right-hand side (marked inred in the figure).

The Lane Keeping Aid intervenes and steersaway from the side line - this is indicatedwith:

• RED line for the side in question.

Limitations• The Lane Keeping Aid camera sensor is

restricted in a similar way to the humaneye. For more information, see page 175.

NOTE

In certain demanding situations LKA mayfind it difficult to assist the driver correctly- in which case it is recommended thatLKA 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 wheelIn order for Lane Keeping Aid to operate, thedriver must have his/her hands on the steer-ing wheel. LKA continual monitors this. Ifhands are not detected on the steering wheel,a text message encouraging the driver toactively steer the car is shown.

If the driver does not follow the request tobegin steering, the Lane Keeping Aid goesinto standby mode and will remain in thismode until the driver begins to steer the caragain.

GeneralParking assistance is used as an aid to park-ing. An acoustic signal as well as symbols onthe centre console's screen indicate the dis-tance to the detected obstacle.

Parking assistance sound level can beadjusted during the ongoing acoustic signalusing the centre console's VOL knob or in thecar's menu system MY CAR - see page 207.

Parking assistance is available in two vari-ants:

• Rear only

• Both front and rear.

NOTE

When a towbar is configured with the car'selectrical system, the protrusion of thetowbar is included when the functionmeasures the parking space.

WARNING

• Parking assistance does not relinquishthe driver's own responsibility duringparking.

• The sensors have blind spots whereobstacles cannot be detected.

• Be aware of e.g. people and animalsnear the car.

Function

The centre console's screen shows an over-view of the relationship between the car anddetected obstacle.

Marked sectors show which of the four sen-sor(s) detected an obstacle. The closer to thecar symbol a selected sector box is, theshorter the distance between the car and adetected obstacle.

The frequency of the signal increases theshorter the distance to an obstacle, in front ofor behind the car. Other sound from the audiosystem is muted automatically.

When the distance is within 30 cm the tone isconstant and the active sensor's field nearestthe car is filled in. If the detected obstacle iswithin the distance for the constant tone bothbehind and in front of the car, then the tonesounds alternately from the loudspeakers.

IMPORTANT

Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles orlow barriers may be in the "signal shadow"and are then temporarily not detected bythe sensors - the pulsating tone may thenunexpectedly stop instead of changingover to the expected constant tone.

The sensors cannot detect high objects,such as projecting loading docks.

• In such situations, pay extra attentionand manoeuvre/reposition the car par-ticularly slowly or stop the currentparking manoeuvre - there may be ahigh risk of damage to vehicles orother objects since the sensors aretemporarily unable to function opti-mally.

Rear parking assistance

The distance covered to the rear of the car isabout 1.5 metres. The acoustic signal forobstacles behind comes from one of the rearloudspeakers.

Rear parking assistance is activated whenreverse gear is engaged.

When reversing with e.g. a trailer on the towbar, rear parking assistance is switched offautomatically - otherwise the sensors wouldreact to the trailer.

NOTE

When reversing with e.g. a trailer or bikecarrier on the towbar - without Volvo genu-ine trailer wiring - parking assistance mayneed to be switched off manually in orderthat the sensors do not react to them.

Front parking assistance

The distance covered in front of the car isabout 0.8 metres. The acoustic signal forobstacles in front comes from one of the frontloudspeakers.

Front park assist is active up toapprox. 10 km/h. The lamp in the button isilluminated in order to indicate that the sys-tem is activated. When the speed is below10 km/h the system is reactivated.

IMPORTANT

When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Rememberthat these must not obscure the sensors -the auxiliary lamps may then be perceivedas an obstacle.

When a towbar is configured with the car'selectrical system, the protrusion of thetowbar is included when the functionmeasures the parking space.

WARNING

• The parking camera is an aid and cannever replace the responsibilities ofthe driver when reversing.

• The camera has blind spots whereobstacles cannot be detected.

• Be aware of people and animals nearthe car.

Function and operation

CAM button location.

The camera shows what is behind the carand if something appears from the sides.

The camera shows a wide area behind thecar and part of the bumper and any towbar.

Objects on the screen may appear to tiltslightly - this is normal.

NOTE

Objects on the display screen may becloser to the car than they appear to be onthe screen.

If another view is active the parking camerasystem takes over automatically and thecamera image is displayed on the screen.

When reverse gear is engaged two unbrokenlines are shown graphically which illustratewhere the car's rear wheels will roll with thecurrent steering wheel angle, this facilitatestight parking, reversing into tight spaces andfor hitching a trailer. The car’s approximateexternal dimensions are illustrated by meansof two dashed lines. These help lines can beswitched off in the settings menu.

If the car is also equipped with parking assis-tance sensors* then their information is dis-played graphically as coloured fields in orderto illustrate the distance to detected obsta-cles, see page 186.

The camera is active approx. 5 seconds afterreverse gear has been disengaged or until thecar's speed exceeds 10 km/h forward or35 km/h backward.

Light conditionsThe camera image is adjusted automaticallyaccording to prevailing light conditions.Because of this, the image may vary slightlyin brightness and quality. Poor light condi-tions can result in a slightly reduced imagequality.

NOTE

Keep the camera lens clear of dirt, snowand ice to ensure optimum function. Thisis 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 ifthey were at ground level behind the car andare directly related to steering wheel move-ment, which shows the driver the path the carwill take when it turns.

NOTE

• When reversing with a trailer which isnot connected electrically to the car,the lines on the display show the routethe car will take - not the trailer.

• The screen shows no lines when atrailer is connected electrically to thecar's electrical system.

• The parking camera is deactivatedautomatically when towing a trailer if aVolvo genuine trailer cable is used.

IMPORTANT

Remember that the display only shows thearea behind the car - so pay attention tothe sides and front of the car when turningthe steering while reversing.

Limitations

NOTE

Bicycle racks or other accessories moun-ted on the back of the car may obscurethe line of sight of the camera.

Pay attention to the possibility that, even if itonly looks like a relatively small part of theimage is obscured, it could be a relativelylarge sector that is hidden from view. Obsta-cles could thereby go undetected until theyare very close to the car.

To bear in mind• Keep the camera lens free from dirt, ice

and snow.

• Clean the camera lens regularly with luke-warm water and car shampoo - take carenot to scratch the lens.

Park Assist Pilot - PAP*

04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 193

General

The On/Off button is on the centre console.

The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot)helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed.

NOTE

When a towbar is configured with the car'selectrical system, the protrusion of thetowbar is included when the functionmeasures the parking space.

WARNING

PAP does not work in all situations but isdesigned merely as a supplementary aid.

The driver always has the final responsibil-ity for driving the vehicle in a safe mannerand for paying attention to the surround-ings and other road users approaching orpassing during parking.

Function

NOTE

The PAP function measures the space andturns the steering wheel - the driver's taskis to follow the combined instrument pan-el's instructions and select the gear(reverse/forward), control the speed, brakeand stop.

PAP can be activated if the following criteriaare met once the engine has been started:

• The functions DSTC or ABS must notinterfere while the PAP function is ena-bled - these can be activated due to asteep or slippery surface, for example:see pages 131 and 140 for more informa-tion.

• Trailers must not be connected to the car.

• The speed must be below 50 km/h.

Principle for PAP.

The PAP function parks the car using the fol-lowing steps:

1. The function searches for a parking spaceand measures it (A & B). During measure-ment, speed must not exceed 30 km/h.

2. The car is steered into the space whilereversing (C & D).

3. The car is straightened up in the space bydriving back and forth (E & F).

Page 196: Owners Manual

04 Driver support

Park Assist Pilot - PAP*

04

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

OperationThe driver is instructed by means of simple,clear instructions in the combined instrumentpanel - using both graphics and text.

NOTE

Remember that certain steering wheelpositions may obstruct the combinedinstrument panel's instructions when youturn it during the parking manoeuvre.

1 - Searching and checkingmeasurements

The PAP function searches for a parkingspace and checks whether it is big enough.Proceed as follows:

1. Activate PAP by pressingthis button and do not drivefaster than 30 km/h.

2. Keep an eye on the combined instrumentpanel and be prepared to stop the carwhen the graphics and text so request.

3. Stop the car when the graphics and textso request.

NOTE

PAP searches the area for a parkingspace, displays instructions and guidesthe car in on its passenger side. But ifrequired the car can also be parked on thedriver's side of the street:

• Activate the direction indicator for thedriver's side - the car is then parkedon that side of the street instead.

2 - Reversing in

During the Reversing step, PAP will steer thecar into the parking space. Proceed as fol-lows:

1. Check that the area behind the car isclear, then engage reverse gear.

2. Reverse slowly and carefully withouttouching the steering wheel - and nofaster than approx. 7 km/h.

3. Keep an eye on the combined instrumentpanel and be prepared to stop the carwhen the graphics and text so request.

Page 197: Owners Manual

04 Driver support

Park Assist Pilot - PAP*

04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 195

NOTE

• Keep your hands away from the steer-ing wheel when the PAP function isactivated.

• Make sure that the steering wheel isnot hindered in any way and can rotatefreely.

• For optimum results - Wait until thesteering wheel has been turned beforestarting to drive backwards/forwards.

3 - Straightening up

When the car has reversed into the parkingspace, it must be straightened up and stop-ped.

1. Engage first gear or D position, wait untilthe steering wheel has been turned, thendrive slowly forwards.

2. Stop the car when the graphics and textmessage so request.

3. Engage reverse gear and drive back-wards slowly until the graphics and textmessage tell you to stop.

The function is disengaged automaticallywhen parking is complete, and the graphicsand text message show that parking is com-plete. It may be necessary for the driver tocorrect the positioning. Only the driver candetermine whether the car is properly parked.

IMPORTANT

The warning distance is shorter when thesensors are used by Active Park Assistcompared with when Park Assist uses thesensors.

LimitationsThe PAP sequence is stopped:

• if the car is driven too quickly - above7 km/h

• if the driver touches the steering wheel

• if the ABS or DSTC function is enabled -e.g. if a wheel loses grip on a slipperyroad.

A text message indicates where the PAPsequence was stopped.

NOTE

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensorswill reduce their function and may preventmeasurement.

IMPORTANT

Under certain circumstances, PAP isunable to find parking spaces - one reasonfor this may be the fact that there is inter-ference with the sensors from externalsound sources which emit the same ultra-sound frequencies as those with which thesystem works.

Examples of such sources include horns,wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakesand exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.

To bear in mindThe driver should bear in mind that the ParkAssist Pilot is an aid – not an infallible, fully-automatic function. The driver must thereforebe prepared to intervene. There are alsodetails to bear in mind while parking, e.g.:

• PAP starts out from the current locationof the parked vehicles - if they are inap-propriately parked then the car's tyres

Page 198: Owners Manual

04 Driver support

Park Assist Pilot - PAP*

04

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

and wheel rims may be damaged againstkerbs.

• PAP is designed for parking on straightstreets, not sharp curves or bends. Forthis reason, make sure the car is parallelto the parking space when PAP measuresthe space.

• It is not always possible to find parkingspaces on narrow streets since there isnot enough space for manoeuvring. Insuch parking situations, it helps the sys-tem to drive as close to the side of theroad as possible where you intend topark.

• Bear in mind that the front of the car mayswing out towards oncoming traffic whilebeing parked.

• Objects situated higher than the detectionareas of the sensors are not includedwhen calculations are made for the park-ing manoeuvre. This may cause PAP toswing into the parking space too early -for this reason, such parking slots shouldbe avoided.

• The driver is responsible for determinewhether the space selected by PAP issuitable for parking.

• Use approved tyres1 with the correct tyrepressure as this affects PAP's ability topark 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 sparewheel are fitted.

• Do not use PAP if loaded objects are pro-truding from the car.

IMPORTANT

The PAP system's parameters may needto be updated when changing to anotherapproved wheel rim size involving changedtyre circumference. Consult a workshop -an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-mended.

Maintenance

The PAP sensors are located in the bumpers - 6front and 4 rear.

For the PAP function to work correctly, itssensors must be cleaned regularly with waterand car shampoo - these are the same sen-sors as are used by parking assistance, seepage 188.

1 "Approved tyres" refers to tyres of the same type and make as those fitted new on delivery from the factory.

BLIS and CTA*

04

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

General information on BLIS and CTAThe BLIS function (Blind Spot InformationSystem) is designed for driving in dense traf-fic on roads with several lanes in the samedirection. BLIS is a driver's aid intended toprovide a warning about:

• vehicles in the car's blind spot

• quickly approaching vehicles in the leftand right lanes closest to the car.

The BLIS function CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) isa driver's aid intended to provide a warningabout:

• crossing traffic when the car is reversed.

WARNING

BLIS and CTA are supplementary aids anddo not work in all situations.

BLIS and CTA are no substitutes for a safedriving style and the use of rearview anddoor mirrors.

BLIS and CTA can never replace the driv-er's responsibility and attention - it isalways the driver's responsibility to reverseand change lanes in a safe manner.

Operation

Position of the BLIS lamp1.

Indicator lamp

BLIS symbol

NOTE

The lamp illuminates on the side of the carwhere the system has detected the vehi-cle. If the car is overtaken on both sides atthe same time then both lamps illuminate.

FunctionBLIS and CTA are activated when the engineis started. This is confirmed by the indicatorlamps in the door panels flashing once.

Activate/deactivate BLIS

Button for activating/deactivating.

The BLIS function can be deactivated/acti-vated by pressing the BLIS button on thecentre console.

Some combinations of the selected equip-ment leave no vacant space for a button inthe centre console - in which case the func-tion is handled by the car's menu system MYCAR2:

• Select On or Off at Settings Carsettings BLIS.

When BLIS is deactivated/activated the lampin the button goes out/illuminates and thecombined instrument panel confirms thechange with a text message. The door panelindicator lamps flash once upon activation.

To extinguish the message:

• Press the left stalk switch OK button.

or

• Wait approx. 5 seconds – the messageextinguishes.

When BLIS operates

Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zonefor quickly approaching vehicle.

The BLIS function is active at speeds aboveapprox. 10 km/h.

The system is designed to react when:

• the vehicle is overtaken by other vehicles

• another vehicle is quickly approachingthe vehicle

When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or aquickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, thedoor panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a con-stant glow. If the driver activates the directionindicator on the same side as the warning inthis situation then the BLIS lamp will changefrom a constant glow to flashing with a moreintense light.

WARNING

BLIS does not work in sharp bends.

BLIS does not work when the car is beingreversed.

Activate/deactivate CTAIn cars equipped with parking assistance (seepage 186), the CTA function can be deacti-vated/activated with the parking assistanceOn/Off button.

On/Off for parking assistance and CTA sensors.

CTA itself can be deactivated in the MY CAR2

menu system as follows:

• Go to Settings Car settings BLISCross Traffic Alert and deselect. The

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

When CTA operates

Principle for CTA.

CTA supplements the BLIS function by beingable to see crossing traffic from the side dur-ing reversing, such as when reversing out of aparking space.

CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles.In favourable conditions, it may also be ableto detect smaller objects, such as cyclistsand pedestrians.

CTA is only active during reversing and isactivated automatically when reverse isselected at the gearbox.

• If CTA detects something approachingfrom the side, an acoustic warning signalsounds. The signal comes from either theleft or the right speaker depending on

which direction the approaching object iscoming from.

• CTA also warns by illuminating the BLISlamps.

• An additional warning is provided in theform of an illuminated icon in the screen'sPAS graphics, see page 186.

LimitationsCTA does not perform optimally in all situa-tions, but has a certain limitation - for exam-ple, the CTA sensors cannot "see" throughother parked vehicles or obstructing objects.

Here are some examples of when CTA's "fieldof vision" may be limited from the beginningand approaching vehicles cannot therefore bedetected 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.

Page 203: Owners Manual

04 Driver support

BLIS and CTA*

04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 201

However, when the driver is slowly reversingthe car, the angle is changed in relation to thevehicle/object that is blocking, at which theblind sector rapidly decreases.

Examples of further limitations:

• Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors canreduce functionality and make it impossi-ble to provide warnings. BLIS and CTAare unable to detect hazards if covered.

• Do not affix any objects, tape or labels inthe area of the sensors.

• BLIS and CTA are deactivated when atrailer is connected to the car’s electricalsystem.

IMPORTANT

Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions'components must only be performed by aworkshop - an authorised Volvo workshopis recommended.

Maintenance

Location of BLIS and CTA sensors.

The BLIS and CTA sensors are located insidethe rear wing/bumper on each side of the car.

• To ensure optimal functionality, the areasin front of the sensors must be keptclean.

MessagesIn situations where the BLIS and CTA func-tions fail or are interrupted, the combinedinstrument panel may show a symbol, sup-plemented by an explanatory message. Fol-low any recommendation given.

Message examples:

General

Climate controlThe car is equipped with electronic climatecontrol. The climate control system cools orheats as well as dehumidifies the air in thepassenger compartment.

NOTE

The air conditioning system (AC) can beswitched off, but to ensure the best possi-ble climate comfort in the passenger com-partment and to prevent the windows frommisting, it should always be on.

Actual temperatureThe temperature you select corresponds tothe physical experience with reference to fac-tors such as air speed, humidity and solarradiation etc. in and around the car.

The system includes a sun sensor whichdetects on which side the sun is shining intothe passenger compartment. This means1

that the temperature can differ between theright and left-hand air vents despite the con-trols being set for the same temperature onboth sides.

Sensor location• The sun sensor is located on the top side

of the dashboard.

• The temperature sensor for the passen-ger compartment is located below the cli-mate control panel.

• The outside temperature sensor islocated in the door mirror.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors withclothing or other objects.

Side windowsTo ensure that the air conditioning worksoptimally, the side windows must be closed.

Misting windowsRemove misting on the insides of the win-dows by primarily using the defroster func-tion.

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

Temporary shut-off of the airconditioningWhen the engine requires full power, e.g. forfull acceleration or driving uphill with a trailer,the air conditioning can be temporarily

switched off. There may then be a temporaryincrease in temperature in the passengercompartment.

CondensationIn warm weather, condensation from the airconditioning may drip under the car. This isnormal.

Ice and snowRemove ice and snow from the climate con-trol system air intake (the grille between thebonnet and the windscreen).

Total airing functionThe function opens/closes all side windowssimultaneously and can be used for exampleto quickly air the car during hot weather, seepage 57.

Passenger compartment filterAll air entering the car's passenger compart-ment is cleaned with a filter. This must bereplaced at regular intervals. Follow the VolvoService Programme for the recommendedreplacement intervals. If the car is used in aseverely contaminated environment, it maybe necessary to replace the filter more often.

1 Only applies to ECC.

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

NOTE

There are different types of passengercompartment filter. Make sure that the cor-rect filter is fitted.

Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP)*This option keeps the passenger compart-ment clear of allergy and asthma inducingsubstances. For more information on CZIP,see the brochure included with the purchaseof the car.

The following is included:

• An enhanced fan function that means thatthe fan starts when the car is opened withthe remote control key. The fan fills thepassenger compartment with fresh air.The function starts when required and isdisengaged automatically after a time orwhen one of the passenger compartmentdoors is opened.

• The air quality system IAQS is a fullyautomatic system that cleans the air inthe passenger compartment from con-taminants such as particles, hydrocar-bons, nitrous oxides and ground-levelozone.

NOTE

To maintain the CZIP standard in cars withCZIP the IAQS filter should be changedafter 15 000 km or once per year depend-ing on whichever occurs first. However, upto 75 000 km over 5 years. In cars withoutCZIP and where the customer does notwant to retain the CZIP standard, the IAQSfilter must be replaced during a regularservice.

Use of tested materials in the interiorequipment.The materials have been developed in orderto minimise the quantity of dust in the pas-senger compartment and they contribute tomaking the passenger compartment easier tokeep clean. The carpets in both the passen-ger compartment and the cargo area areremovable and easy to remove and clean.Use cleaning agents and car care productsrecommended by Volvo, see page 370.

Menu settingsIt is possible to activate/deactivate or changethe default settings for four of the climatecontrol system's functions via the centre con-sole. For general information about menunavigation, see page 208:

• Fan level for automatic climate control*,see page 221.

• Recirculation timer, see page 223.

• Automatic start of rear window defroster,see page 107.

RDS functionsRDS (Radio Data System) links FM transmit-ters into a network. An FM transmitter in sucha network sends information that gives anRDS radio the following functions:

• Automatically switches to a strongertransmitter if reception in the area is poor.

• Searches for programme type, such astraffic information or news.

• Receives text information on current radioprogramme.

NOTE

Some radio stations do not use RDS oronly selected parts of its functionality.

If a required programme type is located theradio can switch stations interrupting the

audio source currently in use. For example, ifthe CD player is in use, it is paused. Theinterrupting transmission is played at a presetvolume, see page 263. The radio returns tothe previous audio source and volume whenthe set programme type is no longer broad-cast.

The programme functions alarm (ALARM!),traffic information (TP), news (NEWS), andprogramme types (PTY) interrupt one anotherin order of priority, where alarm has the high-est priority and programme types has thelowest. For additional settings of program-ming interruptions (EON Distant and EONLocal), see the section "Enhanced Other Net-works – EON" below. Press EXIT to return tothe interrupted audio source, press the OK/MENU to clear the message.

General

Economical drivingDriving economically means driving smoothlywhile thinking ahead and adjusting your driv-ing style and speed to the prevailing condi-tions.

• Drive in the highest gear possible, adap-ted to the current traffic situation androad - lower engine speeds result in lowerfuel consumption.

• Avoid driving with open windows.

• Avoid sudden unnecessary accelerationand heavy braking.

• Remove unnecessary items from the car -the greater the load the higher the fuelconsumption.

• Use engine braking to slow down, when itcan take place without risk to other roadusers.

• A roof load and ski box increase air resis-tance, leading to higher fuel consumption- remove the load carriers when not inuse.

• Do not run the engine to operating tem-perature at idling speed, but rather drivewith a light load as soon as possible - acold engine consumes more fuel than awarm one.

• Cars with manual transmission arestarted in 2nd gear (applies to cars with

up to 18-inch wheels) under normal con-ditions on flat ground.

For more information and further advice, seethe pages 11 and 387.

WARNING

Never switch off the engine while moving,such as downhill, this deactivates impor-tant systems such as the power steeringand brake servo.

Driving in waterThe car can be driven through water at amaximum depth of 25 cm at a maximumspeed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should beexercised when passing through flowingwater.

During driving in water, maintain a low speedand do not stop the car. When the water hasbeen passed, depress the brake pedal lightlyand check that full brake function is achieved.Water and mud for example can make thebrake linings wet resulting in delayed brakefunction.

• Clean the electric contacts of the electricengine block heater and trailer couplingafter driving in water and mud.

• Do not let the car stand with water overthe sills for any long period of time - thiscould cause electrical malfunctions.

IMPORTANT

Engine damage can occur if water entersthe air filter.

In depths greater than 25 cm, water couldenter the transmission. This reduces thelubricating ability of the oils and shortensthe service life of these systems.

In the event of the engine stalling in water,do not try restart - tow the car from thewater to a workshop - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended. Risk of enginebreakdown.

Engine, gearbox and cooling systemUnder special conditions, for example harddriving in hilly terrain and hot climate, there isa risk that the engine and drive system mayoverheat - in particular with a heavy load.

For information about overheating when driv-ing with a trailer, see page 310.

• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in frontof the grille when driving in hot climates.

• If the temperature in the engine's coolingsystem is too high then a warning symbolis illuminated and a text message Highengine temp Stop safely is shown in thecombined instrument panel's informationdisplay - stop the car in a safe way andallow the engine to run at idling speed forseveral minutes in order to cool down.

Page 299: Owners Manual

07 During your journey

Recommendations during driving

07

297

• If the text message High engine tempStop engine or Coolant level low, Stopengine is shown then the engine must beswitched off after stopping the car.

• In the event of overheating in the gearboxa built-in protection function is activated,which is indicated by the combinedinstrument panel with a warning symboland the text message Transmission hotReduce speed or Transmission hotStop safely - follow the recommendationgiven and lower the speed and stop thecar in a safe way and allow the engine torun at idling speed for a few minutes inorder to allow the gearbox to cool down.

• If the car overheats, the air conditioningmay be switched off temporarily.

• Do not turn the engine off immediatelyyou stop after a hard drive.

NOTE

It is normal for the engine's cooling fan tooperate for a time after the engine hasbeen switched off.

Open tailgate

WARNING

Do not drive with an open tailgate! Toxicexhaust fumes could be drawn into the carthrough the cargo area.

Do not overload the batteryThe electrical functions in the car load thebattery to varying degrees. Avoid using thekey position II when the engine is switchedoff. Instead use the I mode - which uses lesspower.

Also, be aware of different accessories thatload the electrical system. Do not use func-tions which use a lot of power when theengine is switched off. Examples of suchfunctions are:

• ventilation fan

• headlamps

• windscreen wiper

• audio system (high volume).

If the starter battery's voltage is low then theinformation display in the combined instru-ment panel shows the text Low batteryPower save mode. The energy-saving func-tion then shuts down certain functions orreduces certain functions such as the ventila-tion fan and/or audio system.

– In which case, charge the battery by star-ting the engine and then running it for atleast 15 minutes - battery charging ismore effective during driving than runningthe engine at idling speed while station-ary.

Before a long journey• Check that the engine is working normally

and that fuel consumption is normal.

• Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oilor other fluid).

• Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths.

• Carrying a warning triangle is a legalrequirement in certain countries.

Winter drivingCheck the following in particular before thecold season:

• The engine coolant must contain at least50% glycol. This mixture protects theengine against frost erosion down toapproximately –35 °C. To achieve opti-mum antifreeze protection, different typesof glycol must not be mixed.

• The fuel tank must be kept filled to pre-vent condensation.

• Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils withlower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate star-ting in cold weather and also reduce fuelconsumption while the engine is cold. For

298

more information on suitable oils, seepage 383.

IMPORTANT

Low viscosity oil must not be used for harddriving or in hot weather.

• The condition of the battery and chargelevel must be inspected. Cold weatherplaces great demands on the battery andits capacity is reduced by the cold.

• Use washer fluid to avoid ice forming inthe washer fluid reservoir.

To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo rec-ommends using winter tyres on all wheels ifthere is a risk of snow or ice.

NOTE

The use of winter tyres is a legal require-ment in certain countries. Studded tyresare not permitted in all countries.

Refuelling

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.

To lock/unlock the fuel filler flap, see page 59.The fuel filler flap's lock logic also followskeyless-drive and central locking's lockingand unlocking respectively.

Opening the fuel filler flap manually

The fuel filler flap can be opened manuallywhen it cannot be opened from outside.

Open/remove the side hatch in the cargoarea (same side as fuel filler flap).

Carefully pull the line back in a straightline. The flap can now be opened fromoutside.

IMPORTANT

Pull the wire gently - minimal force isrequired to disengage the hatch lock.

Filling up with fuelThe fuel tank is fitted with a coverless fuelfiller system.

• Insert the pump nozzle in the fuel filleropening. Take care to insert the nozzleproperly into the filler pipe. The filler pipeconsists of two opening covers. The noz-zle must be pushed past both coversbefore refuelling is started.

• Do not overfill the tank but fill until thepump nozzle cuts out.

NOTE

Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hotweather.

NOTE

Avoid spillage by waiting approx.5-8 seconds after refuelling before care-fully removing the nozzle.

301

General information on fuelFuel of a lower quality than that recom-mended by Volvo must not be used as enginepower and fuel consumption is negativelyaffected.

WARNING

Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and fuelsplashing in the eyes.

In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove anycontact lenses and rinse the eyes in plentyof water for at least 15 minutes and seekmedical attention.

Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petroland diesel are highly toxic and couldcause permanent injury or be fatal if swal-lowed. Seek medical attention immediatelyif fuel has been swallowed.

WARNING

Fuel which spills onto the ground can beignited.

Switch off the fuel-driven heater beforestarting to refuel.

Never carry an activated mobile phonewhen refuelling. The ring signal couldcause spark build-up and ignite petrolfumes, leading to fire and injury.

IMPORTANT

Mixtures of various fuel types or use offuels which are not recommended willinvalidate Volvo's guarantees and any sup-plementary service agreements; this isapplicable to all engines.

NOTE

Extreme weather conditions, driving with atrailer or driving at high altitudes in combi-nation with fuel grade are factors thatcould affect the car's performance.

Catalytic convertersThe purpose of the catalytic converters is topurify exhaust gases. They are located closeto the engine so that operating temperature isreached quickly.

The catalytic converters consist of a monolith(ceramic or metal) with channels. The channelwalls are lined with a thin layer of platinum/rhodium/palladium. These metals act as cata-lysts, i.e. they participate in and accelerate achemical reaction without being used upthemselves.

Lambda-sondTM oxygen sensorThe Lambda-sond is part of a control systemintended to reduce emissions and improvefuel economy.

An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen con-tent of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.This value is fed into an electronic systemthat continuously controls the injectors. Theratio of fuel to air directed to the engine iscontinuously adjusted. These adjustmentscreate optimal conditions for efficient com-bustion, and together with the three-way cat-alytic converter reduce harmful emissions(hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrousoxides).

PetrolPetrol must fulfil the EN 228 standard. Mostengines can be run with octane ratings of 95and 98 RON. Only in exceptional casesshould 91 RON be used.

• 95 RON can be used for normal driving.

• 98 RON is recommended for optimumperformance and minimum fuel consump-tion.

When driving in temperatures above +38 °C,fuel with the highest possible octane rating isrecommended for optimum performance andfuel economy.

302

IMPORTANT

• Use only unleaded petrol to avoiddamaging the catalytic converter.

• Do not use any additives which havenot been recommended by Volvo.

DieselOnly use diesel fuel from well-known produc-ers. Never use diesel of dubious quality. Die-sel should fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204standards. Diesel engines are sensitive tocontaminants in the fuel, such as excessivelyhigh volumes of sulphur particles for exam-ple.

At low temperatures (-6 °C to -40 °C), a par-affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,which may lead to ignition problems. Specialdiesel fuel designed for low temperaturesaround freezing point is available from themajor oil companies. This fuel is less viscousat low temperatures and reduces the risk ofparaffin precipitate.

The risk of condensation in the fuel tank isreduced if the tank is kept well filled. Whenrefuelling, check that the area around the fuelfiller pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the

paintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-gent and water.

IMPORTANT

Only ever use fuel that fulfils the Europeandiesel standard.

The sulphur content must be a maximumof 50 ppm.

IMPORTANT

Diesel type fuels that must not be used:

• Special additives

• Marine diesel fuel

• Heating oil

• FAME1 (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) andvegetable oil.

These fuels do not fulfil the requirements inaccordance with Volvo recommendationsand generate increased wear and enginedamage that is not covered by the Volvowarranty.

Empty tankThe design of the fuel system in a dieselengine means that if the vehicle runs out offuel, the tank may need to be vented in the

workshop in order to restart the engine afterfuelling.

Once the engine has stopped due to fuelstarvation, the fuel system needs a fewmoments to carry out a check. Do this beforestarting the engine, once the fuel tank hasbeen filled with diesel:

1. Insert the remote control key in the igni-tion switch and push it in to the end posi-tion (see page 81).

2. Press the START button withoutdepressing the brake and/or clutch pedal.

3. Wait approx. 1 minute.4. To start the engine: Depress the brake

and/or clutch pedal and then press theSTART button again.

NOTE

Before filling with fuel in the event of fuelshortage:

• Stop the car on as flat/level ground aspossible - if the car is tilting there is arisk of air pockets in the fuel supply.

1 Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of FAME, but further amounts must not be added.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 303

Draining condensation from the fuelfilterThe fuel filter separates condensation fromthe fuel. Condensation can disrupt engineoperation.

The fuel filter must be drained at the intervalsspecified in the Service and Warranty Bookletor if you suspect that the car has been filledwith contaminated fuel.

IMPORTANT

Certain special additives remove the waterseparation in the fuel filter.

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 arecollected in the filter during normal driving.So-called "regeneration" is started in order toburn away the particles and empty the filter.This requires the engine to have reached nor-mal operating temperature.

Filter regeneration takes place automaticallyand normally takes 10-20 minutes. It maytake a little longer at a low average speed.Fuel consumption may increase slightly dur-ing regeneration.

Regeneration in cold weatherIf the car is frequently driven short distancesin cold weather then the engine does notreach normal operating temperature. Thismeans that regeneration of the diesel particlefilter does not take place and the filter is notemptied.

When the filter has become approximately80% full of particles, a yellow warning triangleis shown in the combined instrument panel,and the message Soot filter full See manualis shown in the information display.

Start regeneration of the filter by driving thecar until the engine reaches normal operatingtemperature, preferably on a main road ormotorway. The car should then be driven forapproximately 20 minutes more.

NOTE

The following may arise during regenera-tion:

• a smaller reduction of engine powermay be noticed temporarily

• fuel consumption may increase tem-porarily

• a smell of burning may arise.

When regeneration is complete the warningtext is cleared automatically.

Use the parking heater* in cold weather sothat the engine reaches normal operatingtemperature more quickly.

IMPORTANT

If the filter is completely filled with parti-cles, it may be difficult to start the engineand the filter is non-functional. Then thereis a risk that the filter will need to bereplaced.

Fuel consumption and emissions ofcarbon dioxideFuel consumption figures may change if thecar is equipped with extra equipment thataffects the car's weight. See information onweights page 379 and table page 387.

The manner in which the car is driven, andother non-technical factors can also affectfuel consumption.

Consumption is higher and power outputlower for fuel with an octane rating of91 RON.

NOTE

Extreme weather conditions, driving with atrailer or driving at high altitudes in combi-nation with fuel grade are factors thatcould affect the car's performance.

General information on loadingPayload depends on the car's kerb weight.The total of the weight of the passengers andall accessories reduces the car's payload bya corresponding weight. For more detailedinformation on weights, see page 379.

The tailgate is opened via a buttonon the lighting panel or the remotecontrol key, see page 58.

WARNING

The car’s driving properties changedepending on the weight and positioningof the load.

To bear in mind when loading• Position the load firmly against the rear

seat's backrest.

Note that objects must not prevent the func-tion of the WHIPS system for the front seats ifany of the rear seat's backrests is foldeddown,see page 26.

• Centre the load.

• Heavy objects should be placed as lowas possible. Avoid placing heavy loads onlowered backrests.

• Cover sharp edges with something soft toavoid 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 afrontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h,carry the impact of an item weighing1000 kg.

WARNING

The protection provided by the inflatablecurtain 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 theload. During heavy braking the load mayotherwise shift, causing personal injury tothe car's occupants.

Cover sharp edges and sharp corners withsomething soft.

Switch off the engine and apply the park-ing brake when loading/unloading longitems. Otherwise you may accidentallyknock the gear lever or gear selector withthe load into a drive position - and the carcould then move off.

Front seatThe passenger seat backrest can also befolded for an extra long load, see page 83.

Roof load

Using load carriersTo avoid damaging the car and for maximumpossible safety while driving, the load carriersdesigned by Volvo are recommended.

Carefully follow the installation instructionssupplied with the carriers.

• Check periodically that the load carriersand load are properly secured. Lash theload securely with retaining straps.

• Distribute the load evenly over the loadcarriers. Put the heaviest objects at thebottom.

• The size of the area exposed to the wind,and therefore fuel consumption, increasewith the size of the load.

• Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,heavy braking and hard cornering.

GeneralPayload depends on the car's kerb weight.The total of the weight of the passengers andall accessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car'spayload by a corresponding weight. For moredetailed information on weights, seepage 379.

If the towing bracket is mounted by Volvo,then the car is delivered with the necessaryequipment for driving with a trailer.

• The car's towing bracket must be of anapproved type.

• If the towbar is retrofitted, check withyour Volvo dealer that the car is fullyequipped for driving with a trailer.

• Distribute the load on the trailer so thatthe weight on the towing bracket com-plies with the specified maximum towballload.

• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-mended pressure for a full load. For tyrepressure label location, see page 328.

• The engine is loaded more heavily thanusual when driving with a trailer.

• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car isbrand new. Wait until it has been drivenat least 1000 km.

• The brakes are loaded much more thanusual on long and steep downhill slopes.

Downshift to a lower gear and adjust yourspeed.

• For safety reasons, the maximum permit-ted speed for the car when coupled witha trailer should not be exceeded. Followthe regulations in force for the permittedspeeds and weights.

• Maintain a low speed when driving with atrailer up long, steep ascents.

• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines ofmore than 12%.

Trailer cableAn adapter is required if the car's towingbracket has 13 pin electrics and the trailerhas 7 pin electrics. Use an adapter cableapproved by Volvo. Make sure the cable doesnot drag on the ground.

Direction indicators and brake lights onthe trailerIf any of the trailer's lamps for direction indi-cators are broken, then the symbol for direc-tion indicators in the combined instrumentpanel flashes faster than normal and theinformation display shows the text Bulb fail -Ind. signal trailer.

If any of the trailer's lamps for the brake lightare broken then the Bulb fail - Stop lamptrailer text is shown.

Level control*The rear shock absorbers maintain a constantheight irrespective of the car's load (up to themaximum permissible weight). When the caris stationary the rear of the car lowers slightly,which is normal.

Trailer weightsFor information on Volvo's permitted trailerweights, see page 380.

NOTE

The stated maximum permitted trailerweights are those permitted by Volvo. Themaximum permitted speed for a car with atrailer attached is 100 km/h. National vehi-cle regulations may further restrict thetrailer weight and speed. Towbars can becertified for higher towing weights than thecar can actually tow.

WARNING

Follow the stated recommendations fortrailer weights. Otherwise, the car andtrailer may be difficult to control in theevent of sudden movement and braking.

Push the protective cover until it snapstight.

Trailer Stability Assist - TSA*The TSA system (Trailer Stability Assist)serves to stabilise the car and trailer combi-nation if it begins to snake.

The TSA function is part of the DSTC system(Dynamic Stability and Traction Control), seepage 140.

FunctionThe snaking phenomenon can occur with anycar/trailer combination. Snaking normallyoccurs at high speeds. But, there is a risk of itoccurring at lower speeds (70-90 km/h) if thetrailer is overloaded or the load is improperlydistributed, e.g. too far back.

In order for snaking to occur, there must be atriggering factor, e.g.:

• Car with trailer subjected to a sudden andpowerful side wind.

• Car with trailer drives on an uneven roadsurface or in a pothole.

• Sweeping steering wheel movements.

OperationIf snaking has started, it could be difficult oreven impossible to suppress. This makes thecar/trailer combination difficult to control andthere is a risk that you could, for example,end up in the wrong lane or leave the car-riageway.

TSA system continually monitors car move-ments, particularly lateral movements. Ifsnaking is detected, the front wheels are indi-vidually braked. This serves to stabilise thecar/trailer combination. This is often enoughto help the driver regain control of the car.

If snaking is not eliminated the first time theTSA system comes into action, the car/trailercombination is braked with all wheels andengine power is reduced. Once snaking hasbeen gradually suppressed and the car/trailercombination is once again stable, the TSAsystem stops regulating and the driver onceagain has full control of the car.

MiscellaneousThe TSA system can engage within the speedinterval 65 to 160 km/h.

NOTE

TSA function is switched off if the driverselects Sport mode, see page 140.

TSA may fail to engage if the driver usessevere steering wheel movements to try torectify the snaking because in such a situa-tion the TSA system cannot determinewhether it is the trailer or the driver that iscausing the snaking.

The DSTC symbol in the combinedinstrument panel flashes when the

TSA system is working.

Driving characteristicsTyres greatly affect the car's driving characte-ristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyrepressure and speed rating are important forhow the car performs.

Direction of rotation

G021778

The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation.

Tyres with a tread pattern which are designedto only turn in one direction have the directionof rotation marked with an arrow. The tyremust always rotate in the same directionthroughout its lifespan. Tyres should only beswitched between front and rear positions,never between left and right-hand sides, orvice versa. If the tyres are fitted incorrectly,the car's braking characteristics and capacityto force rain and slush out of the way areadversely affected.

Tyres with the greatest tread depth shouldalways be fitted to the rear of the car (todecrease the risk of skidding).

NOTE

Make sure that both pairs of wheels havethe same type and dimension, and also thesame make.

Follow the recommended tyre pressuresspecified in the tyre pressure table, seepage 391.

Tyre care

Tyre ageAll tyres older than 6 years old should bechecked by an expert even if they seemundamaged. Tyres age and decompose, evenif they are hardly ever or never used. Thefunction can therefore be affected. Thisapplies to all tyres that are stored for futureuse. Examples of external signs which indi-cate that the tyre is unsuitable for use arecracks or discoloration.

New tyres

Tyres are perishable. After a few years theybegin to harden at the same time as the fric-tion capacity/characteristics gradually deteri-orate. For this reason, aim to get as freshtyres as possible when you replace them.This is especially important with regard towinter tyres. The last four digits in thesequence mean the week and year of manu-facture. This is the tyre's DOT marking(Department of Transportation), and this isstated with four digits, for example 1510. Thetyre in the illustration was manufactured inweek 15 of 2010.

Summer and winter tyresWhen summer and winter wheels arechanged the wheels should be marked with

Page 323: Owners Manual

08 Wheels and tyres

General

08

321

which side of the car they were mounted on,for example L for left and R for right.

Wear and maintenanceThe correct tyre pressure results in more evenwear, see page 328. Driving style, tyre pres-sure, climate and road condition affect howquickly your tyres age and wear. To avoid dif-ferences in tread depth and to prevent wearpatterns arising, the front and rear wheels canbe switched with each other. A suitable dis-tance for the first change is approx. 5000 kmand then at 10 000 km intervals. Volvo rec-ommends that you contact an authorisedVolvo workshop for checking if you are uncer-tain about tread depth. If significant differen-ces in wear (>1 mm difference in tread depth)between tyres have already occurred, theleast worn tyres must always be placed onthe rear. Understeer is normally easier to cor-rect than oversteer, and leads to the car con-tinuing forwards in a straight line rather thanhaving the rear end skidding to one side,resulting in possible complete loss of controlover the car. This is why it is important for therear wheels never to lose grip before the frontwheels.

Wheels should be stored lying down or hang-ing up - and not standing up.

WARNING

A damaged tyre may lead to loss of controlover the car.

Tyres with tread wear indicators

G021829

Tread wear indicators.

Tread wear indicators are narrow treadlessbands across the width of the tread. On theside of the tyre are the letters TWI (TreadWear Indicator). When the tyre's tread depthis down to 1.6 mm, the tread depth will belevel in height with the tread wear indicators.Change to new tyres as soon as possible.Remember that tyres with little tread depthprovide very poor grip in rain and snow.

Locking wheel bolts*Locking wheel bolts* can be used on bothaluminium and steel rims. Under the cargoarea floor there is space for the sleeve for thelockable wheel bolts.

Winter tyresVolvo recommends winter tyres with particu-lar dimensions. Tyre dimensions are depend-ent on engine variant. When driving on wintertyres, the correct type of tyres must be fittedto all four wheels.

NOTE

Volvo recommends that you consult aVolvo dealer about which wheel rim andtyre types are most suitable.

Studded tyresStudded winter tyres should be run in gentlyfor 500-1000 km so the studs settle properlyinto the tyres. This gives the tyre, and espe-cially the studs, a longer service life.

NOTE

The legal provisions for the use of studdedtyres vary from country to country.

Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and low tem-peratures place considerably higher demandson tyres than summer conditions. Volvotherefore recommends not to drive on wintertyres that have a tread depth of less than4 millimetres.

Using snow chainsSnow chains may only be used on the frontwheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).

Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snowchains. Avoid driving on bare ground as thiswears 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 eventof uncertainty Volvo recommends that youconsult an authorised Volvo workshop.The wrong snow chains may cause seriousdamage to your car and lead to an acci-dent.

Load indexEach tyre has a certain capacity to carry aload, a load index (LI). The car's weight deter-mines the load capacity required of the tyres.Minimum permitted index is specified in thetable, see page 391.

Speed ratingsEach tyre can withstand a certain maximumspeed, a speed rating (Speed Symbol; SS).

Tyre speed class must at least correspondwith the car's top speed. Minimum permittedspeed rating is specified in the table, seepage 391.

The only exception to these conditions is win-ter tyres (both those with metal studs andthose without), where a lower speed ratingmay be used. If such a tyre is chosen, the carmust not be driven faster than the speed rat-ing of the tyre (for example, class Q can bedriven at a maximum of 160 km/h).

Traffic regulations determine how fast a carcan be driven, not the speed rating of thetyres.

Spare wheel*1

The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is onlyintended for use temporarily and must bereplaced by an ordinary wheel as soon aspossible. The car's handling may be alteredby the use of the spare wheel. The sparewheel is smaller than the normal wheel. Thecar's ground clearance is affected accord-ingly. Pay attention to high kerbs and do notmachine wash the car. If the spare wheel isfitted on the front axle, you cannot use snowchains at the same time. On all-wheel drivecars the drive on the rear axle can be discon-nected. The spare wheel must not berepaired. The correct tyre pressure for thespare wheel is stated in the tyre pressuretable, see page 391.

IMPORTANT

• Never drive faster than 80 km/h with aspare wheel on the car.

Check tyre pressures on cold tyres. "Coldtyres" means the tyres are the same tempera-ture as the ambient temperature. After severalfew kilometres of driving, the tyres warm upand the pressure increases.

Inadequate tyre pressure increases fuel con-sumption, shortens tyre lifespan and impairsthe car's roadholding. Driving on tyres withtyre pressure that is too low could result inthe tyres overheating and being damaged.Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, roadnoise and steering characteristics.

NOTE

Tyre pressure decreases over time, this isa natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure alsovaries depending on ambient temperature.

1 ECO pressure results in improved fuel economy.

The ignition system has very high voltageand output. The voltage in the ignition sys-tem is highly dangerous. The car's electri-cal system must always be in key position0 when work is being performed in theengine compartment, see page 81.

Do not touch the spark plugs or ignitioncoil when the car's electrical system is inkey position II or when the engine is hot.

Checking the engine oil

Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.

When driving under adverse conditions, seepage 383.

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for theengine's service intervals all engines arefilled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil at the factory. The choice of oilhas been made very carefully with regardto service life, starting characteristics, fuelconsumption and environmental impact.

An approved engine oil must be used inorder that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil for both filling and oil change,otherwise you will risk affecting service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumptionand environmental impact.

Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war-ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribedgrade and viscosity is not used.

Volvo recommends that oil changes arecarried out at an authorised Volvo work-shop.

Volvo uses different systems for warning oflow/high oil level or low/high oil pressure.Certain variants have an oil pressure sensor,

1 Engines with electronic oil level sensor have no dipstick (5-cyl. diesel).

Page 342: Owners Manual

09 Maintenance and service

and then the combined instrument panel'swarning symbol for low oil pressure is used.Other variants have an oil level sensor, whenthe driver is informed via the instrument's

warning symbol and display texts.Certain variants have both systems. Contacta 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 ispermitted. If the car is driven in adverse con-ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of ahigher grade, see page 383.

For capacities, see page 384 and onwards.

Engine with oil dipstick2

Dipstick and filler pipe.

Checking the oil level in a new car is espe-cially important before the first scheduled oilchange.

Volvo recommends checking the oil levelevery 2 500 km. The most accurate measure-ments are made on a cold engine before star-ting. The measurement will be inaccurate iftaken immediately after the engine isswitched off. The dipstick will indicate thatthe level is too low because the oil has nothad time to flow down into the oil sump.

G021737

The oil level must be between the MIN and MAXmarks.

Measurement and filling if required1. Ensure that the car is level. After switch-

ing off the engine it is important to wait5 minutes to allow the oil time to run backto 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 litresshould be added. If the level is signifi-cantly below, then an additional amountis required.

2 Only applies to petrol and 4-cyl. diesel.

6. If required, check the level again, do itafter driving a short distance. Then repeatsteps 1 - 4.

WARNING

Never fill above the MAX mark. The levelshould never be above MAX or below MINas this could lead to engine damage.

WARNING

Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-fold due to the risk of fire.

Engine with electronic oil level sensor3

Filler pipe

You do not need to take action with respectto the engine oil level before a message isshown in the combined instrument panel'sinformation display, see the illustration below.

Message and graph in the display. The left-handdisplay shows the digital combined instrumentpanel and the right-hand the analogue.

Message

Engine oil level

On certain cars, the oil level can be checkedusing the electronic oil level gauge with thethumbwheel when the engine is switched off,see page 342.

WARNING

If the message Oil service required isshown, visit a workshop. The oil level maybe too high.

IMPORTANT

In the event of the message Oil level lowRefill 0.5 litre, only fill with 0.5 litres.

NOTE

The oil level is only detected by the systemduring driving. The system cannot directlydetect changes when the oil is filled ordrained. The car must be drivenabout 30 km before the oil level display iscorrect.

WARNING

Do not fill more oil if filling level (3) or (4)appears as shown in the illustration below.The level must never be above MAX orbelow MIN, as this could lead to enginedamage.

Coolant

Checking the level and topping up

When topping up the coolant, follow theinstructions on the packaging. It is importantthat the mixture of coolant concentrate andwater is correct for the prevailing weatherconditions. Never top up with water only. Therisk of freezing increases with both too littleand too much coolant concentrate.

WARNING

Coolant can be very hot. If the coolantrequires topping up when the engine is atoperating temperature, unscrew theexpansion tank cap slowly to gentlyrelease the overpressure.

For capacities and for standards regardingwater quality, see page 385.

Check the coolant regularlyThe level must lie between the MIN and MAXmarks on the expansion tank. If the system isnot filled sufficiently, high temperatures couldoccur, causing a risk of damage to theengine.

IMPORTANT

• A high content of chlorine, chloridesand other salts may cause corrosion inthe cooling system.

• Always use coolant with anti-corrosionagent as recommended by Volvo.

• Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50%water and 50% coolant.

• Mix the coolant with approved qualitytap water. In the event of any doubtabout water quality, used ready-mixedcoolant in accordance with Volvo rec-ommendations.

• When changing coolant/replacingcooling system components, flush thecooling system clean with approvedquality tap water or flush with ready-mixed coolant.

• The engine must only be run with awell-filled cooling system. Otherwise,temperatures that are too high mayoccur resulting in the risk of damage(cracks) in the cylinder head.

Brake and clutch fluid

Checking the levelBrake and clutch fluid have a common reser-voir. The level must be between the MIN andMAX marks that are visible inside the reser-voir. Check the level regularly.

Change the brake fluid every other year or atevery other regular service.

For capacities and recommended fluid grade,see page 385. The fluid should be changedannually on cars driven in conditions requiringhard, frequent braking, such as driving inmountains or tropical climates with highhumidity.

WARNING

If the brake fluid is below the MIN level inthe brake fluid reservoir, do not drive fur-ther before topping up the brake fluid.Volvo recommends that the reason for theloss of brake fluid is investigated by anauthorised Volvo workshop.

Filling

The fluid reservoir is located on the driver's side.

Unscrew the reservoir cap and fill the fluid.The level must be between the MIN and MAXmarks, which are located on the inside of thereservoir.

OperationThe service life and function of the battery isinfluenced by factors such as the number ofstarts, discharging, driving style, driving con-ditions, climatic conditions etc.

• Never disconnect the battery when theengine is running.

• Check that the cables to the battery arecorrectly connected and properly tight-ened.

WARNING

• The battery can generate oxyhydrogengas, which is highly explosive. A sparkcan be formed if a jump lead is con-nected incorrectly, and this can beenough for the battery to explode.

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

• If sulphuric acid comes into contactwith eyes, skin or clothing, flush withlarge quantities of water. If acidsplashes into the eyes - seek medicalattention immediately.

NOTE

The life of the battery is shortened if itbecomes discharged repeatedly.

The life of the battery is affected by severalfactors, including driving conditions andclimate. Battery starting capacity decrea-ses gradually with time and thereforeneeds to be recharged if the car is notused for a longer time or when it is onlydriven 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 automatictrickle charging.

A battery that is kept fully charged has amaximum service life.

IMPORTANT

A quick charger must never be used whencharging the battery.

IMPORTANT

If the following instruction is not observedthen the energy saving function for info-tainment may be temporarily disengaged,and/or the message in the combinedinstrument panel's information displayabout the starter battery's state of chargemay be temporarily inapplicable, followingthe connection of an external starter bat-tery or battery charger:

• The negative battery terminal on thecar's starter battery must never beused for connecting an external starterbattery or battery charger - only thecar chassis may be used as thegrounding point.

See the section "Start assistance" - for adescription of how the cable clamps mustbe attached.

When replacing batteries in cars with theStart/Stop function, the AGM1 type batter-ies must be fitted.

NOTE

• The higher the current take-off in thecar (extra cooling/heating, etc.) themore the batteries must be charged =increased fuel consumption.

• When the capacity of the battery hasfallen below the lowest permissiblelevel then the Start/Stop function isdisengaged.

Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function dueto high current take-off means:

• The engine starts automatically2 withoutthe driver depressing the clutch pedal(manual gearbox).

• The engine starts automatically withoutthe driver lifting his/her foot off the footbrake pedal (automatic gearbox).

Location of the batteries

IMPORTANT

If the following instruction is not observedthen the Start/Stop function may tempo-rarily cease to work after the connection ofan external battery or battery charger:

• The negative battery terminal on thecar's main battery must never be usedfor connecting an external battery orbattery charger - only the car chassismay be used as the grounding point.

See the section "Start assistance" - for adescription of how the cable clamps mustbe attached.

NOTE

If the battery has become so dischargedthat everything is "black" and in principlethe car does not have all the normal elec-trical functions and the engine is subse-quently started using an external battery orbattery charger, then the Start/Stop func-tion will be activated. It will then be possi-ble for the engine to be auto-stopped butin the event of an auto-stop the Start/Stopfunction may fail to auto-start the enginedue to inadequate capacity in the battery.

The battery must first be charged in orderto ensure a successful auto-start after anauto-stop. At an outside temperature of+15 °C the battery needs to be charged forat least 1 hour. At a lower outside tem-perature a charging time of 3-4 hours isrecommended. The recommendation isthat the battery is charged using an exter-nal battery charger.

If this is not possible then the recommen-dation is to temporarily deactivate theStart/Stop function until the battery hasbeen adequately recharged.

For more information about recharging thebattery, see the section "Battery" in thechapter "Maintenance and service".

Fuses 09

359

GeneralAll electrical functions and components areprotected by a number of fuses in order toprotect the car's electrical system from dam-age by short circuiting or overloading.

If an electrical component or function doesnot work, it may be because the component'sfuse was temporarily overloaded and failed. Ifthe same fuse fails repeatedly then there is afault in the circuit. Volvo recommends thatyou visit an authorised Volvo workshop forchecking.

Changing1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the

fuse.

2. Pull out the fuse and check from the sideto see whether the curved wire hasblown.

3. If this is the case, replace it with a newfuse of the same colour and amperage.

WARNING

Never use a foreign object or a fuse withan amperage higher than that specifiedwhen replacing a fuse. This could causesignificant damage to the electrical systemand possibly lead to fire.

Washing the carWash the car as soon as it becomes dirty.Wash the car in a car wash with oil separator.Use car shampoo.

• Remove bird droppings from the paint-work as soon as possible. Bird droppingscontain chemicals that affect and discol-our paintwork very quickly. An authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended for theremoval of any discoloration.

• Hose down the underbody.

• Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirthas been removed so as to reduce therisk of scratches from washing. Do notspray directly onto the locks.

• If necessary, use cold degreasing agenton very dirty surfaces. Note that in thiscase, the surfaces must not be hot fromthe sun!

• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo andplenty of lukewarm water.

• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarmsoap solution or car shampoo.

• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois ora water scraper. If you avoid allowingdrops of water to dry in strong sunlight,you reduce the risk of water drying stainswhich may need to be polished out.

WARNING

Always have the engine cleaned by aworkshop. There is a risk of fire if theengine is hot.

IMPORTANT

Dirty headlamps have impaired functional-ity. Clean them regularly, when refuellingfor example.

Do not use any corrosive cleaning agentsbut use water and a non-scratchingsponge instead.

NOTE

Outside lighting such as headlamps, foglamps and rear lamps may temporarilyhave condensation on the inside of thelens. This is normal, all exterior lighting isdesigned to withstand this. Condensationis normally vented out of the lamp housingwhen the lamp has been switched on for atime.

Cleaning the wiper bladesAsphalt, dust and salt residue on wiperblades, as well as insects, ice etc. on thewindscreen, impair the service life of wiperblades.

For cleaning:

– Set the wiper blades in service position,see page 352.

NOTE

Wash the wiper blades and windscreenregularly with lukewarm soap solution orcar shampoo.

Do not use any strong solvents.

Automatic car washesAn automatic car wash is a simple and quickway of washing the car, but it cannot reacheverywhere. Handwashing the car is recom-mended for achieving optimum results.

NOTE

The car must only be washed by handover the first few months. This is becausethe paint is more delicate when it is new.

High-pressure washingWhen using high-pressure washing, usesweeping movements and make sure that thenozzle does not come closer than 30 cm tothe surface of the car (the distance applies toall exterior parts). Do not spray directly ontothe locks.

Testing the brakes

WARNING

Always test the brakes after washing thecar, including the parking brake, to ensurethat moisture and corrosion do not attackthe brake linings and reduce braking per-formance.

Lightly depress the brake pedal now and thenwhen driving long distances in rain or slush.The heat from the friction causes the brakelinings to warm up and dry. Do the samething after starting in very damp or coldweather.

Exterior plastic, rubber and trimcomponentsA special cleaning agent available from Volvodealers is recommended for the cleaning andcare of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trimcomponents, such as glossy trim mouldings.When using such a cleaning agent theinstructions must be followed carefully.

IMPORTANT

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic andrubber.

When using degreasant on plastic andrubber, only rub with light pressure if it isnecessary. Use a soft washing sponge.

Polishing glossy trim mouldings couldwear away or damage the glossy surfacelayer.

Polishing agent that contains abrasivemust not be used.

RimsOnly use rim cleaning agent recommendedby Volvo.

Strong rim cleaning agents can damage thesurface and cause stains on chrome-platedaluminium rims.

Polishing and waxingPolish and wax the car if the paintwork is dullor to give the paintwork extra protection.

The car does not need to be polished until itis at least one year old. However, the car canbe waxed during this time. Do not polish orwax the car in direct sunlight.

Wash and dry the car thoroughly before youbegin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt

and tar stains using tar remover or white spi-rit. More stubborn stains can be removedusing fine rubbing paste designed for carpaintwork.

Polish first with a polish and then wax withliquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions onthe packaging carefully. Many preparationscontain both polish and wax.

IMPORTANT

Only paint treatment recommended byVolvo should be used. Other treatmentsuch as preserving, sealing, protection,lustre sealing or similar could damage thepaintwork. Paintwork damage caused bysuch treatments is not covered by Volvowarranty.

Water-repellent coating*Never use products such as carwax, degreaser or similar on glasssurfaces as this could ruin their

water-repellent properties.

Take care when cleaning so as not to dam-age the glass surface.

To avoid damaging glass surfaces whenremoving ice – only use plastic ice scrapers.

There is natural wear of the water-repellentcoating.

Page 372: Owners Manual

09 Maintenance and service

Car care 09

370

Treatment with a special finishing agent avail-able from Volvo dealers is recommended inorder to maintain the water-repellent proper-ties. This should be used first after threeyears and then each year.

Rustproofing – inspection andmaintenanceThe car received a thorough and completerustproofing at the factory. Parts of the bodyare made of galvanised sheet metal. Theunderbody is protected by a wear-resistantanti-corrosion compound. A thin, penetratingrustproofing fluid was sprayed into theexposed members, cavities, closed sectionsand side doors.

Under normal conditions the rustproofingdoes not require treatment for approximately12 years. After this period, it should be trea-ted at three-year intervals. Volvo recom-mends that you engage an authorised Volvoworkshop for assistance if the car needs fur-ther treatment.

Dirt and road salt can lead to corrosion so itis important to keep the car clean. The car'srustproofing needs to be checked regularlyand touched-up if necessary in order for it tobe maintained.

Cleaning the interiorOnly use cleaning agents and car care prod-ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularlyand follow the instructions included with thecar care product.

Vacuuming is important prior to using clean-ing agents.

Carpets and cargo areaRemove inlaid carpets for separate cleaningof the floor carpet and the inlaid carpets. Usea vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt.

Each inlay mat is secured with pins.

– Take hold of the inlay mat at each pin andlift the mat straight up.

Fit the inlay mat in place by pressing it in ateach pin.

WARNING

Before setting off check that the inlaid matin the driver area is firmly affixed andsecured in the pins in order to avoid get-ting caught adjacent to and under the ped-als.

A special textile cleaner is recommended forstains on the floor mat after vacuuming. Floormats should be cleaned with agents recom-mended by your Volvo dealer!

Stains on fabric upholstery and roofupholsteryA special fabric cleaning agent, available fromauthorised Volvo dealers, is recommended toavoid impairing the fire retardant qualities ofthe upholstery.

IMPORTANT

Sharp objects and Velcro may damage thefabric upholstery.

Treating stains on leather upholsteryVolvo's leather upholstery is chromium-freeand is treated to preserve its original appear-ance.

Leather upholstery ages and acquires a beau-tiful patina over time. The leather is refinedand processed so that it retains its naturalcharacteristics. It is given a protective coa-ting, but regular cleaning is required in orderto maintain both characteristics and appear-ance. Volvo offers a comprehensive productfor the cleaning and treatment of leatherupholstery which, when used in accordancewith the instructions, preserves the leather'sprotective coating. After a period of use thenatural appearance of the leather will never-theless emerge, depending more or less onthe surface texture of the leather. This is a

natural maturing of the leather and showsthat it is a natural product.

To achieve best results Volvo recommendscleaning and the application of protectivecream once to four times per year (or more ifnecessary). The Volvo Leather Care kit isavailable from your Volvo dealer.

IMPORTANT

• Certain items of coloured clothing (forexample, jeans and suede garments)may stain the upholstery.

• Never use strong solvents. Such prod-ucts may damage fabric, vinyl andleather upholstery.

Washing instructions for leatherupholstery1. Pour the leather cleaner on the damp-

ened sponge and squeeze out a strongfoam.

2. Work the dirt away with gentle circularmovements.

3. Dab accurately with the sponge on thestains. Allow the sponge to absorb thestain. Do not rub.

4. Wipe off with soft paper or a cloth andallow the leather to dry completely.

Protective treatment of leatherupholstery1. Pour a small amount of the protective

cream on the felted cloth and massage ina thin layer of cream with gentle circularmovements on the leather.

2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutesbefore use.

The leather has now been given improvedprotection against stains and improved UVprotection.

Washing instructions for the leathersteering wheel• Remove dirt and dust with a soft pre-

moistened sponge and neutral soap.

• Leather needs to breathe. Never coverthe leather steering wheel with protectiveplastic.

• Use natural oils. Volvo's leather careagents are recommended for best results.

If the steering wheel has stains:

Group 1 (ink, wine, coffee, milk, sweat andblood)

– Use a soft cloth or sponge. Mix a 5%ammonia solution. (For blood stains, usea solution of 2 dl water and 25g salt.)

Group 2 (fats, oils, sauces and chocolate)

WeightsKerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank90% full and all fluids.

The weight of passengers and accessories,and towball load (when a trailer is hitched,see table page 380) influences the payloadand is not included in the kerb weight.

Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight -Kerb weight.

NOTE

The documented kerb weight applies tocars in the standard version - i.e. a carwithout extra equipment or accessories.This means that for every accessory addedthe loading capacity of the car is reducedcorrespondingly by the weight of theaccessory.

Examples of accessories that reduce load-ing capacity are the Kinetic/Momentum/Summum equipment levels, as well asother accessories such as Towbar, Loadcarrier, Space box, Audio system, Auxiliarylamps, GPS, Fuel-driven heater, Safetygrille, Carpets, Luggage cover, Powerseats, 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 changedepending on how heavily it is loaded andhow the load is distributed.

383

Adverse driving conditionsAdverse driving conditions can lead to abnor-mally high oil temperature or oil consumption.Below are some examples of adverse drivingconditions.

Check the oil level more frequently for longjourneys:

• towing a caravan or trailer

• in mountainous regions

• at high speeds

• in temperatures colder than -30 °C orhotter than +40 °C

The above also apply to shorter driving dis-tances at low temperatures.

Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adversedriving conditions. It provides extra protectionfor the engine.

Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for theengine's service intervals all engines arefilled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil at the factory. The choice of oilhas been made very carefully with regardto service life, starting characteristics, fuelconsumption and environmental impact.

An approved engine oil must be used inorder that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil for both filling and oil change,otherwise you will risk affecting service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumptionand environmental impact.

Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war-ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribedgrade and viscosity is not used.

Volvo recommends that oil changes arecarried out at an authorised Volvo work-shop.

NOTE

If the consumption and emission data ismissing then it is included in the enclosedsupplement.

Fuel consumption and emissions ofcarbon dioxideFuel consumption and emission values in thetable above are based on specific EU cycles1,that apply to cars with kerb weight in thebasic version and without extra equipment.The car's weight may increase depending onequipment. This, as well as how heavily thecar is loaded, increases fuel consumption andcarbon dioxide emissions.

1 Official fuel consumption figures are based on two standardised driving cycles in a laboratory environment ("EU driving cycles") all in accordance with EU Directive 80/1268/EEC (Euro 4), EURegulation no 692/2008, 715/2007 (Euro 5) and UN ECE Regulation no 101.The regulations cover the driving cycles for urban driving and extra-urban driving. - Urban driving - the measurementstarts 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 manualtransmission are started in 2nd gear (applies to cars with up to 18-inch wheels). The value for combined driving, which is reported in the table, is a combination of urban driving and extra-urbandriving, in accordance with legal requirements. CO2 emissions - the exhaust gases are collected in order to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions during the two driving cycles. These are thenanalysed and give the value for CO2 emissions.

There are several reasons for increased fuelconsumption compared with the table's val-ues. Examples of this are:

• The driver's driving style.

• If the customer has specified wheelslarger than those fitted as standard on themodel's basic version, then resistanceincreases.

• High speed results in increased windresistance.

• Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,weather and the condition of the car.

Even a combination of the above-mentionedexamples can result in significantly improvedconsumption. For further information, pleaserefer to the regulations referred to1.

Large deviations in fuel consumption mayarise in a comparison with the EU drivingcycles1 which are used in the certification ofthe car and on which the consumption figuresin the table are based.

To bear in mindTips that the driver can use in order to reduceconsumption:

• Drive gently and avoid unnecessaryacceleration as well as braking too hard.

• Drive with the correct air pressure in thetyres and check this regularly - selectECO tyre pressure for best results, seethe tyre pressure table on page 391.

• Choice of tyres can affect fuel consump-tion - seek advice on suitable tyres from adealer.

See further information and more advice onpages 11 and 296.

See page 301 for general information on fuel.
