•

Alcohol lock*

Bypass of the alcohol lock*

The function of the alcohol lock is to prevent

the car from being driven by individuals under

the influence of alcohol. Before the engine

can be started the driver must take a breath

test that verifies that he/she is not under the

influence of alcohol. Alcohol lock calibration

takes place in accordance with each market's

limit value in force for driving legally.

The car has an interface for the electrical con-

nection of the different makes and models of

alcohol lock recommended by Volvo. The

interface facilitates alcohol lock connection,

and gives the option of an integrated function

including messages related to the alcohol lock

in the car's main display. For information

about a specific alcohol lock, please refer to

the owner's manual from the respective alco-

hol lock manufacturer.

In the event of an emergency situation or if

the alcohol lock is out of order, it is possible

to bypass the alcohol lock in order to drive

the car.

For deactivation via the alcohol lock, see sup-

plier's manual.

Brake functions

Foot brake

alcohol lock*

The car's brakes are used to reduce the

speed or prevent the car from rolling.

In addition to the foot brake and parking

brake, the car is equipped with several auto-

matic brake assist functions. These can assist

the driver by not needing to keep his/her foot

on the brake pedal when at a traffic light,

when starting on an uphill gradient or when

driving on a downhill gradient.

The foot brake is part of the brake system.

The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If

a brake circuit is damaged, the brake pedal

may engage deeper. Higher pressure on the

pedal will therefore be needed to produce the

normal braking effect.

The alcohol lock is activated automatically

and is then ready for use when the car is

opened.

To bear in mind

In order to obtain correct function and as

accurate a measurement result as possible:

The driver's brake pedal pressure is assisted

by a brake servo.

Avoid eating or drinking approx. 5 minutes

before the breath test.

•

Depending on the car's equipment, the follow-

ing auto braking functions are available:

WARNING

Avoid excess windscreen washing - the

alcohol in the washer fluid may result in an

incorrect measurement result.

•

The brake servo only works when the

engine is running.

Automatic brake when stationary (Auto

Hold)

•

Hill start assist (Hill Start Assist)

Auto braking after a collision

City Safety

•

If the foot brake is used when the engine is

switched off then the pedal will feel stiff and a

higher pedal pressure must be used to brake

the car.

After a completed period of driving, the

engine can be restarted within 30 minutes

without a new breath test.

Hill descent control (Hill Descent Control)*

In very hilly terrain or when driving with a

heavy load the brakes should be relieved by

using engine braking in manual gearshift

mode. Engine braking is most efficiently used

if the same gear is used downhill as up. Use

drive mode Off Road* for increased engine

braking while driving on steep downhill gradi-

ents at low speeds.

|| ing and allows maintained steering control.

Vibration may be felt in the brake pedal when

this is engaged and this is normal.

Brake assistance

WARNING

The brake assist system (BAS³) helps to

increase brake force during braking, and can

thereby shorten the braking distance.

If both the warning lamps for brake fault

and ABS fault illuminate at the same time,

a fault has occurred in the brake system.

A short test of the ABS system is made auto-

matically after the car has been started when

the driver releases the brake pedal. A further

automatic test of the system may be made at

low speed. The test may be felt as pulses in

the brake pedal.

The system detects the way in which the

driver brakes and increases brake force where

necessary. The brake force can be boosted up

to the level when the ABS system is engaged.

The function is suspended when the pressure

on the brake pedal decreases.

If the level in the brake fluid reservoir is

normal at this stage, drive carefully to

the nearest workshop and have the

brake system checked - an authorised

Volvo workshop is recommended.

•

If the brake fluid is below the MIN level

in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive

further before topping up the brake

fluid. The reason for the loss of brake

fluid must be investigated.

Brake system maintenance

Check brake system components regularly

for wear.

When driving for a prolonged period of time

in heavy rain without braking, the braking

effect may be delayed slightly when next

using the brakes.

This may also be the case after a car wash. It

is then necessary to depress the brake pedal

more forcefully. You should therefore maintain

a greater distance to the vehicles in front.

When driving on salted roads, a layer of salt

may form on the brake discs and brake lin-

ings.

This may extend braking distance. You should

therefore maintain a greater safety distance to

vehicles in front. In addition, make sure you do

the following:

To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-

ble, follow the Volvo service intervals as speci-

fied in the Service and Warranty Booklet. After

replacing brake linings and brake discs, brak-

ing effect is only adapted after they have been

"worn in" for a few hundred kilometres (miles).

Compensate for the reduced braking effect by

depressing the brake pedal harder. Volvo rec-

ommends only fitting brake linings that are

approved for your Volvo.

Brake now and again to remove any layer

of salt. Make sure that other road users

are not put at risk by the braking.

•

Brake the car firmly after driving on wet roads

or using a car wash. This warms up the brake

discs, enabling them to dry faster and protect-

ing them against corrosion. Bear in mind the

current traffic situation when braking.

Gently depress the brake pedal after fin-

ishing driving and before starting your next

trip.

Auto braking after a collision

Regenerative braking*

Gearbox

In the event of a collision in which the activa-

tion level is reached for the pyrotechnic seat-

belt tensioners or airbags, or if a collision

with a large animal is detected, the car's

brakes are automatically applied. This func-

tion is to prevent or reduce the effects of any

subsequent collision.

After a serious collision there is a risk that it is

no longer possible to control and steer the car.

In order to avoid or mitigate a possible further

collision with a vehicle or an object in the vehi-

cle's path, the auto braking system is acti-

vated automatically and brakes the car in a

safe manner.

The car recovers kinetic energy during brak-

ing in order to reduce fuel consumption and

emissions.

The function is available in all drive modes

together with gear position D or M.

The gearbox is part of the car's powertrain

(power transmission) between engine and

drive wheels. The function of the gearbox is

to change the gear ratio depending on speed

and power requirements.

There are two main types of gearbox, manual

and automatic.

Activating brake regeneration

Brake regeneration is activated by gentle pres-

sure on the brake pedal or during engine brak-

ing.

The manual gearbox has six gears and the

automatic gearbox has eight. The number of

gear changes means that the engine's torque

and power range can be used effectively. In

the automatic gearbox, two of the gears are

overdrive gears that save fuel when driving at

constant engine speed.

Regeneration increases during engine braking

when manual gearshift mode M is selected.

Related information

•

Brake lights and hazard warning lights are

activated during braking. When the car has

stopped, the hazard warning lights continue to

flash and the parking brake is applied.

It is also possible to select gears manually

with the automatic gearbox. The driver display

shows the selected gear position.

Gear selector inhibitor

Kick-down function

Kick-down⁶can be used when maximum

acceleration is needed such as for overtaking.

When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the

way to the floor (beyond the position normally

regarded as full acceleration) a lower gear is

immediately engaged. This is known as kick-

down.

Automatic gear selector inhibitor

The automatic gear selector inhibitor has spe-

cial safety systems.

From park position – P or neutral position –

N

In order to move the gear selector from P or N

position to another gear position, the engine

must be running.

If the accelerator is released from the kick-

down position, the gearbox automatically

changes up.

Safety function

To prevent over-revving of the engine, the

gearbox control program has a protective

downshift inhibitor.

If the gear selector is in the N position and the

car has been stationary for at least 3 seconds

(irrespective of whether the engine is running)

then the gear selector is locked.

The gearbox does not permit downshifting/

kick-down which would result in an engine

speed high enough to damage the engine.

Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shift

down in this way at high engine speed – the

original gear remains engaged.

Message in the driver display

If the gear selector is inhibited a message is

shown in the driver display e.g. Gear lever

Press brake pedal to activate gear lever.

On kick-down the car can shift down one or

more steps at a time, depending in engine

speed. The car shifts up when the engine has

reached is maximum engine speed in order to

prevent engine damage.

The gear selector is not inhibited mechanically.

All-wheel drive*

Drive modes*

All-wheel drive (AWD⁷) means that the car is

driving all four wheels at the same time,

which improves traction.

Selection of drive mode affects the car's driv-

ing characteristics in order to enhance the

driving experience and facilitate driving in

special situations.

Using the drive modes it is possible to quickly

have access to the car's numerous functions

and settings for different driving needs. The

following systems are adapted to maintain

driving characteristics that are as good as pos-

sible in each drive mode:

To achieve the best possible traction, the

motive force is distributed automatically to the

wheels with the best grip. The system contin-

uously calculates the need for torque to the

rear wheels, and can immediately redistribute

up to half of the motor's torque to the rear

wheels.

Steering

Engine/gearbox⁸/all-wheel drive*

•

All-wheel drive also has a stabilising effect at

higher speeds. Under normal driving condi-

tions, the majority of power is transmitted to

the front wheels. When stationary, the all-

wheel drive is always engaged in preparation

for maximum traction during acceleration.

•

The gear shift indicator shows the current gear

short distances. The engine does not have

time to reach normal operating tempera-

ture, which contributes to increased fuel

consumption.

Note the following:

For lower fuel consumption, activate Eco

•

drive mode.

Use engine braking to slow down, when it

can take place without risk to other road

users.

•

Use the Eco Coast freewheel function in

Eco drive mode – engine braking ceases,

meaning that the car's kinetic energy is

•

used to freewheel for longer distances¹⁸

.

Drive with the correct air pressure in the

tyres and check this regularly - select ECO

tyre pressure for best results.

When driving with manual gear changing

– drive in the highest gear possible, adap-

ted to the current traffic situation and road

– lower engine speeds result in lower fuel

consumption. Use the gear shift indicator.

•

Choice of tyres can affect fuel consump-

tion - seek advice on suitable tyres from a

retailer.

Drive at a steady speed and keep a good

distance to other vehicles and objects to

minimise braking.

•

Remove unnecessary items from the car -

the greater the load the higher the con-

sumption.

High speed results in increased fuel con-

sumption - the wind resistance increases

with speed.

A roof load and space box increase wind

resistance, leading to higher consumption

- remove the load carriers when not in use.

Trip computer indication for instantaneous

fuel consumption can be helpful for driving

more economically.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Winter driving

Slippery driving conditions

Driving in water

To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo recom-

mends using winter tyres on all wheels if there

is a risk of snow or ice.

For winter driving it is important to perform

certain checks of the car in order to ensure

that it can be driven safely.

Check the following in particular before the

cold season:

Wading means the car being driven through

water e.g. on a flooded road. Driving in water

must be performed with great caution.

The car can be driven through water to a maxi-

mum depth of 45 cm (17 inches) at no more

than walking speed. Extra caution should be

exercised when passing through flowing

water.

Braking on gritted roads (p. 403)

The engine coolant must contain 50%

glycol. This mixture protects the engine

against frost down to approx. -35°C

(-31°F). To avoid health risks, different

types of glycol must not be mixed.

•

The use of winter tyres is a legal require-

ment in certain countries. Studded tyres

are not permitted in all countries.

During driving in water, maintain a low speed

and do not stop the car. When the water has

been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly

and check that full brake function is achieved.

Water and mud for example can make the

brake linings wet resulting in delayed brake

function.

Practise driving on slippery surfaces under

controlled conditions to learn how the car

reacts.

The fuel tank must be kept filled to pre-

vent condensation.

•

Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils with

lower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate star-

ting in cold weather and also reduce fuel

consumption while the engine is cold.

Related information

•

If necessary, clean the contacts for the

electric heater and trailer coupling after

driving in water and mud.

Winter tyres (p. 543)

•

Snow chains (p. 543)

The condition of the starter battery and

the AdBlue supply system in any way so

that no AdBlue reagent is consumed when

it is required for legal exhaust emissions

compliance. Any such tampering may be a

criminal offence which may lead to legal

prosecution actions.

In the SCR system, the AdBlue and the nitrous

oxide exhaust gas substance are converted to

nitrogen and water vapour, which significantly

factured in accordance with the ISO 22241

standard. It is specially developed for SCR

cleaning technology for diesel engines.

It is not permitted to operate the car with

an empty AdBlue tank, since it will no

longer be compliant with the legal require-

ments for exhaust emissions. Therefore,

the car is equipped with a warning system

to inform when AdBlue refilling is required.

When the fill level in the AdBlue tank is

getting low, warnings are displayed to

inform that AdBlue refilling is required.

AdBlue has its own tank in the car which is

topped up via a separate filler pipe behind the

The battery can generate oxyhydrogen

gas, which is highly explosive. A spark

can be formed if a jump lead is con-

nected incorrectly, and this can be

enough for the battery to explode.

Towbar*

The car can be equipped with a towbar that

makes it possible to tow e.g. a trailer behind

the car.

There may be different towbar variants availa-

ble for the car. Contact a Volvo dealer for more

information.

If the starter battery has been discharged

so much that the car has no normal electri-

cal functions and the engine is then jump-

started with an external battery or a battery

charger, the Start/stop function may con-

tinue to be activated. If the Start/stop

function then auto-stops the engine shortly

afterwards, there is a great risk that engine

auto-start will fail due to insufficient bat-

tery capacity, because the battery has not

had the time to recharge.

When the engine is switched off, the con-

stant battery voltage to the trailer connec-

tor can be switched off automatically so as

not to drain the starter battery.

If the car has been jump-started, or if there

is insufficient time to charge the battery

with a battery charger, the Start/stop func-

tion is temporarily deactivated until the

battery has been recharged by the car. In

an outside temperature of approx. +15 °C

(approx. 60 °F), the battery needs to be

charged for at least 1 hour by the car. In a

lower outside temperature, the charging

time may increase to 3–4 hours. The rec-

ommendation is to charge the battery

using an external battery charger.

The towball needs regular cleaning and

lubrication with grease in order to prevent

wear.

When a hitch with a vibration damper is

used, the towball must not be lubricated.

This also applies when fitting a bicycle rack

that is clamped in around the towball.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Follow the regulations in force for the per-

mitted speeds and weights.

Driving with a trailer

•

When driving with a trailer, there are a num-

ber of points that are important to think about

regarding the towbar, the trailer and how the

load is positioned in the trailer.

Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The

total of the weight of the passengers and all

accessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car's

payload by a corresponding weight.

When the engine is switched off, the con-

stant battery voltage to the trailer connec-

tor can be switched off automatically so as

not to drain the starter battery.

Maintain a low speed when driving with a

trailer up long, steep ascents.

The maximum indicated trailer weight only

applies to heights up to 1000 metres

above sea level (3280 ft). At higher eleva-

tions, the engine output and the vehicle's

climbing ability are reduced due to the

reduced air density, and the maximum

trailer load must therefore be reduced. The

weight of the car and trailer must be

decreased by 10% for each additional

1000 m (3280 ft) or part thereof.

Trailer weights

WARNING

The car is supplied with the necessary equip-

ment for towing a trailer.

Follow the stated recommendations for

trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and

trailer may be difficult to control in the

event of sudden movement and braking.

The car's towbar must be of an approved

type.

•

Distribute the load on the trailer so that

the weight on the towbar complies with

the specified maximum towball load. Tow-

ball load is calculated as part of the car's

payload.

•

Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of

more than 12%.

•

The stated maximum permitted trailer

weights are those permitted by Volvo.

National vehicle regulations can further

limit trailer weights and speeds. Towbars

can be certified for higher towing weights

than the car can actually tow.

Trailer stability assist * (p. 454)

Extreme weather conditions, driving with a

trailer or driving at high altitudes, in combi-

nation with poorer fuel quality than recom-

mended, are factors that considerably

increase the car's fuel consumption.

Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-

mended pressure for a full load.

•

The engine is loaded more heavily than

usual when driving with a trailer.

Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is

brand new. Wait until it has been driven at

least 1000 km (620 miles).

Level control*

Trailer connector

The car's system for level control endeavours

to maintain a constant height regardless of

load (up to the maximum permissible weight).

When the car is stationary the rear of the car

lowers slightly, which is normal.

An adapter is required if the car's towbar has a

13 pin connector and the trailer has a 7 pin

connector. Use an adapter approved by Volvo.

Make sure the cable does not drag on the

ground.

The brakes are loaded much more than

usual on long and steep downhill slopes.

Downshift to a lower gear when shifting

manually and adjust your speed.

Reasons for snaking

Towing capacity and towball load

(p. 634)

The snaking phenomenon can occur with any

car/trailer combination. Snaking normally

occurs at high speeds. However, there is a risk

of it occurring at lower speeds if the trailer is

overloaded or the load is improperly distrib-

uted, e.g. too far back.

The following applies for cars with automatic

gearbox:

Steep inclines

Extendable and retractable towbar *

Do not lock the automatic gearbox in a higher

gear than the engine "can cope with" - it is not

always a good idea to drive at a high gear with

low engine speed.

In order for snaking to occur, there must be a

triggering factor, e.g.:

When Trailer Stability Assist

(TSA) is operating, the ESC

symbol flashes in the driver

Checking trailer lamps

When connecting a trailer - check that all the

trailer lamps work before departure.

If snaking is not eliminated the first time that

trailer stability assist intervenes, the car/trailer

combination is braked with all wheels and

engine power is reduced. Once snaking has

been gradually suppressed and the car/trailer

combination is stable once again, the system

stops regulating and the driver once again has

full control of the car.

Direction indicators and brake lights

Recommendations for loading

bicycles on the bicycle rack

The larger the distance between the load's

centre of gravity and the towball, the greater

the load on the towbar.

Some gear lever variants make it impossi-

ble to shift out of P unless the engine is

running. Contact an authorised Volvo

workshop for assistance when towing, or

summon professional help for recovery.

Load according to the following recommenda-

tions:

Fit the heaviest bicycle furthest in, closest

to the car.

•

Note that the car must always be towed

with the wheels rolling forward.

Keep the load symmetrical and as close to

the centre of the car as possible e.g. by

loading the bicycles facing alternately if

several bicycles are loaded.

•

Do not tow cars with automatic trans-

mission at speeds higher than

80 km/h (50 mph) or for distances in

excess of 80 km (50 miles).

•

Remove loose objects from the bicycle for

transportation, e.g. bicycle basket, battery,

child seat. Partly to reduce the load on the

towbar and bicycle rack, and partly to

reduce the wind resistance, which affects

fuel consumption.
