Starting the vehicle

The vehicle can be started using the start knob
in the tunnel console when the remote key is in
the passenger compartment.

Start knob in the tunnel console.

WARNING

Before starting:

•

Buckle your seat belt.

•

Adjust the seat, steering wheel and mir-
rors.

•

Make sure you can fully depress the
brake pedal.

The remote key is not physically used to start the
ignition because the vehicle is equipped with the
keyless Passive Start system.

To start the vehicle:

1. The remote key must be inside the vehicle.

For vehicles with Passive Start, the key must
be in the front section of the passenger
compartment. With the optional keyless lock-
ing/unlocking function*, the key can be any-
where in the vehicle.

2. Press and hold down the brake pedal

as far

as possible.

3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release.

The control will automatically return to the
original position.

WARNING

•

Never use more than one inlay mat at a
time on the driver's floor. If any other type
of floor mat is used, remove the original
mat from the driver's seat floor before
driving. All types of mats must be securely
anchored in the attachment points in the
floor. Make sure the floor mat does not
impede the movement of the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal in any way, as this
could be a serious safety hazard.

•

Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your vehicle. They must be prop-
erly secured in the attachment points in
the floor to help ensure they cannot slide
and become trapped under the pedals.

The starter motor will crank until the engine
starts or until overheating protection is triggered.

During normal start conditions, the vehicle's elec-
tric motor will be prioritized and the gasoline
engine will remain off. This means that once the
start knob is turned clockwise, the electric motor
has been "started" and the vehicle is ready to be
driven. The warning and information symbols in
the instrument panel will go out and the selected
theme will be displayed to indicate that the elec-
tric motor is activated.

If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to turn the start knob clockwise to start the engine.

In some situations, such as in cold weather or if
the hybrid battery's charge level is too low, the
gasoline engine will start instead.

The vehicle should not be started with the charg-
ing cable connected. However, if the cable can-
not be pulled out or if the vehicle incorrectly
detects a cable that is not connected, the vehicle
can be started using an override procedure:

1. Press the brake pedal and turn the start

knob clockwise.

appear in the instrument panel.

3. Turn the start knob clockwise again.

Removed? Turn and hold start knob 7s

will appear. Turn the knob clockwise and hold
it for 7 seconds to start the vehicle.

Location of the backup reader in the tunnel console.

If the

Vehicle key not found

message is shown

in the instrument panel at start, place the remote
key at the backup reader and then make a new
start attempt.

NOTE

When the remote key is placed in the backup
reader, make sure that no other vehicle keys,
metal objects or electronic devices (e.g. cellu-
lar phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are in
the backup reader. Multiple vehicle keys close
to each other in the backup reader can dis-
rupt their functionality.

played in the instrument panel while attempting
to start the vehicle, wait until the message disap-
pears and try again to start the vehicle.

CAUTION

If the engine has not responded after 3
attempts – wait for 3 minutes before starting
a new attempt. Starting capability increases if
the starter battery is given time to recover.

NOTE

The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid
battery is discharged.

WARNING

Never remove the remote control key from

the vehicle while driving.

WARNING

•

Always remove the remote key from the
passenger compartment when you leave
the vehicle and make sure the ignition is
in mode 0.

•

Always put the gear selector in P and
apply the parking brake before leaving
the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unsu-
pervised while the engine is running.

•

Always open the garage door fully and
make sure that ventilation is very good
before starting the engine in a garage.
The exhaust fumes produced by the vehi-
cle contain carbon monoxide, which is
invisible and odorless but very toxic.

NOTE

With a cold start, idling speed may be consid-
erably higher than normal for certain engine
types. This is done to get the emissions sys-
tem up to normal operating temperature as
quickly as possible, which minimizes exhaust
emissions and protects the environment.

STARTING AND DRIVING

436

CAUTION

•

When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at slightly
higher engine speeds than normal until
the automatic transmission fluid reaches
normal operating temperature.

•

Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. This could prevent fluids
from properly lubricating vital compo-
nents in the engine before it has reached
the proper operating temperature.

•

The engine should be idling when the
gear selector is moved. Never accelerate
until the gear is fully engaged. Accelerat-
ing rapidly before a gear is properly
engaged could lead to harder wear of
components.

•

To help prevent the transmission oil from
overheating, select P or N when idling at
a standstill for prolonged periods of time.

Brake functions

The vehicle's brakes are used to reduce speed
or prevent the vehicle from rolling.

In addition to the wheel brakes and parking
brakes, the vehicle is also equipped with a num-
ber of automatic brake assist functions. These
systems help the driver by e.g. keeping the vehi-
cle stationary when the brake pedal is not
depressed (e.g. at a traffic light or intersection),
when starting up a hill or when driving down a hill.

Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, the
following brake assist functions may be included:

•

Auto-hold brakes (Auto Hold)

•

Hill Start Assist (Hill Start Assist)

•

Braking assist after a collision

•

City Safety

Brakes

The brake pedal is used to apply the vehicle's
regular brakes, which are part of the brake sys-
tem.

The vehicle is equipped with two brake circuits. If
one brake circuit is damaged, the brake pedal will
go down further when depressed. More pressure
will then be required from the driver for normal
braking effect.

WARNING

The power brakes only work when the electric

motor or combustion engine is running.

If the brake pedal is used when the engine is
switched off, greater pressure must be applied to
brake the vehicle.

In very hilly areas or when driving with a heavy
load, gear position B can be used to augment the
brakes with engine braking.

Use the Off Road drive mode to increase the
engine braking effect when driving on steep
downgrades at low speeds.

Anti-lock brakes

The vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS), which helps prevent the wheels
from locking and helps maintain steering control
when braking. Vibrations may be felt from the

brake pedal when ABS is operating, which is nor-
mal.

After the vehicle is started, a brief test of the
ABS system is automatically performed when the
driver releases the brake pedal. An additional
automatic test of the system may be performed
when the vehicle is traveling at a low speed. Dur-
ing the test, the brake pedal may feel as though it
is pulsating.

Light braking charges the hybrid battery

When the brakes are applied lightly, the electric
motor braking function is used. This converts the
vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy,
which is used to charge the hybrid battery. When
the battery is being charged with the electric
motor braking function, this will be indicated in
the instrument panel.

When the battery is being charged with the electric
motor braking function, this will be indicated in the
instrument panel.

This function is active at speeds in the range of
150-5 km/h (93-3 mph). When braking at
speeds outside of this range, or during harder
braking, the hydraulic braking system is used to
augment braking. This is indicated in the instru-
ment panel with the pointer down in the red area.

properly. Greater pressure will be
required to brake the vehicle.

In Canada.

In the US.

WARNING

If the warning symbols for both brake fault

and ABS fault are lit simultaneously, there

may be a fault in the brake system.

•

If the brake fluid reservoir level is normal
when this occurs, drive carefully to the
nearest workshop to have the brake sys-
tem checked - an authorized Volvo work-
shop is recommended.

•

If the brake fluid has fallen below the MIN
level in the brake fluid reservoir, the vehi-
cle should not be driven until the brake
fluid has been filled. The reason for the
brake fluid loss must be checked.

Brake Assist System

The brake enhancing system, Brake Assist
System (BAS), helps increase braking force and
thereby reduce braking distance.

The system monitors the driver's braking habits
and increases braking force when necessary.
Braking force can be increased up to the point at
which the ABS intervenes. The function is deacti-
vated when pressure on the brake pedal is
decreased.

Related information

•

Brakes (p. 439)

Braking on wet roads

Prolonged driving in heavy rain without braking
may cause braking effect to be slightly delayed
the first time the brakes are applied.

This may also occur after washing the vehicle. It
will then be necessary to apply greater pressure
to the brake pedal. You should therefore maintain
a greater distance to the vehicle ahead.

Firmly apply the brakes after washing the vehicle
or driving on wet roads. This helps warm up the
brake discs, enabling them to dry more quickly
and protecting them against corrosion. Consider
the current traffic situation when braking.

Brakes (p. 439)

•

Braking on salted roads (p. 441)

Braking on salted roads

When driving on salted roads, a layer of salt may
form on the brake discs and brake pads.

This could increase stopping distance. Maintain
an extra large safety distance to the vehicle
ahead. Make sure to also:

•

Apply the brakes from time to time to help
remove salt. Make sure braking does not
pose a risk to any other road users.

•

Gently apply the brakes when you have fin-
ished driving and before driving again.

Maintenance of the brake system

Regularly check the brake system components
for wear.

To keep the vehicle as safe and reliable as possi-
ble, follow the Volvo service schedule specified in
the Warranty and Maintenance Records Informa-
tion booklet. New and replaced brake pads and
brake discs do not provide optimal braking effect
until they are "broken in" by driving a few hun-
dred kilometers (miles). Compensate for the
reduced braking effect by applying greater pres-
sure to the brake pedal. Volvo recommends only
using brake pads approved for your Volvo.

CAUTION

The brake system's components should be
regularly checked for wear.

Contact a workshop for advice on how to do
this or let a workshop perform the inspection
- an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.

Brakes (p. 439)

Parking brake

The parking brake helps keep the vehicle sta-
tionary by mechanically locking two wheels.

The parking brake controls are located in the tunnel
console between the seats.

When the electric parking brake is being applied,
a faint sound can be heard from the brake's elec-
tric motor. This sound can also be heard during
the automatic function check of the parking
brake.

If the vehicle is stationary when the parking brake
is applied, it will only be applied to the rear
wheels. If it is applied while the vehicle is moving,
the normal brakes will be used on all four wheels.
Braking will be transferred to only the rear
wheels when the vehicle is almost stopped.

Hill Start Assist

The function for assisting when starting the vehi-
cle on inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA), helps
prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when
starting on an uphill gradient. When backing up
a hill, HSA helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
forward.

The function retains pressure from the brake
pedal in the brake system for several seconds
after the brake pedal has been released.

This temporary braking effect is released after a
few seconds or when the driver begins driving.

Hill Start Assist is available even if the Auto-hold
brake function is switched off.

Braking assist after a collision

In a collision in which the activation level is
reached for the pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners
or airbags, or if a collision with a large animal is
detected, the vehicle's brakes will be automati-
cally activated. This function is intended to help
prevent or reduce the effects of any subsequent
collision.

After a serious collision, it may no longer be pos-
sible to control and steer the vehicle. In order to
avoid or mitigate a possible further collision with
a vehicle or an object in the vehicle's path, the
brake assist system is activated automatically to
help stop the vehicle safely.

The brake lights and hazard warning flashers are
activated during braking. When the vehicle has
stopped, the hazard warning flashers will con-
tinue to flash and the parking brake will be
applied.

If braking is not appropriate, e.g. if there is a risk
of being hit by passing traffic, the driver can over-
ride the system by depressing the accelerator
pedal.

This function assumes that the brake system is
intact after a collision.

Brake assist is part of the Rear Collision Warning
and Blind Spot Information safety systems.

Transmission

The transmission is part of the vehicle's driveline
(power transmission) between the engine and
the drive wheels. The function of the transmis-
sion is to change gears depending on speed
and power needs.

The vehicle has an 8-speed automatic transmis-
sion and an electric motor for rear-wheel drive.
The number of gears allows the engine's torque
and power band to be effectively utilized. Two of
the gears are overdrive gears that save fuel when
driving at a constant engine speed. The steering
wheel paddles* can be used to shift up or down
manually. The instrument panel shows the gear
currently in use.

CAUTION

Check the operating temperature of the
transmission to help avoid damage to any of
the drive system components. If there is a risk
of overheating, a warning symbol will appear
in the instrument panel and a text message
will be displayed. Follow the recommenda-
tions given.

Gear selector positions for

automatic transmissions

In vehicles with an automatic transmission, the
system selects the optimal gear for the current
driving conditions. The transmission also has a
manual mode.

The instrument panel shows which gear is cur-
rently in use:

For manual shifting, the gear indicator in the
instrument panel displays the gear currently
being used (1-8).

Selecting gears

The gear selector is a shift-by-wire selector,
where shifting is done electronically instead of
mechanically. This makes shifting easier and the
gear positions more distinct.

Select gears by moving the spring-loaded, non-
locking gear selector forward or backward.

Gear selector positions

Park - P

Park is activated using the P button located next
to the gear selector.

Select P when the vehicle is parked or when star-
ting the engine. The vehicle must be stationary
when Park is selected.

To move to another gear from Park, the brake
pedal must be depressed and the ignition in
mode II.

When parking – apply the parking brake before
shifting to Park.

WARNING

Always apply the parking brake when parking

on an incline. Selecting a gear or putting the

automatic transmission in P may not be suffi-

cient to keep the vehicle stationary in all sit-

uations.

NOTE

The gear selector must be in the P position
before the vehicle can be locked and the
alarm set.
