ECO*
ECO
14
is an innovative Volvo function for
automatic-gearbox cars, capable of reducing
fuel consumption by up to 5%, depending on
the driver's driving style. The function gives
the driver the option of a more active environ-
mentally conscious way of driving.
General
The following are changed
upon activation of the ECO
function:
•
Gearbox gearshift points.
•
Engine management and response from
the accelerator pedal.
•
Start/Stop function - the engine can also
auto-stop before the car has stopped
down to being completely stationary.
•
The Eco Coast function is activated -
engine braking ceases.
•
Climate control system settings - some
electricity consumers are deactivated or
operate at reduced power.
When the ECO function is activated, sev-
eral parameters in the climate control sys-
tem's settings are changed, and several
electricity consumer functions are
reduced. Certain settings can be reset
manually, but full functionality is only
restored by deactivating the ECO function.
ECO - Operation
ECO On/Off
ECO symbol
The ECO function is deactivated when the
engine is switched off, and must therefore be
activated after each time the engine is
started. There are exceptions for certain
engines. However, it is easily verified by
means of both the combined instrument
panel
ECO
symbol and the ECO button lamp
illuminating when the function is activated.
ECO function On or Off
Disengaged ECO function is
indicated by the combined
instrument panel
ECO
sym-
bol and the ECO button lamp
extinguishing. The function is
then switched off until it is
reactivated with the ECO
button.
Eco Coast - Function
The Eco Coast subfunction means in practice
that engine braking is deactivated, meaning in
turn that the car's kinetic energy is used to
coast for longer distances. When the driver
releases the accelerator pedal the gearbox is
automatically disengaged from the engine
whose speed is reduced to idling speed with
minimum consumption.
This function is intended for use in the event
of an anticipated reduction in speed, e.g. to
coast forward to an intersection or a red light.
Eco Coast enables proactive driving where
the driver can use the so-called "Pulse &
Glide" technique and a minimum of braking.
A combination of Eco Coast and temporarily
deactivated ECO function can also collec-
14

tively contribute to reduced consumption.
Accordingly:
•
Active Eco Coast: Long coasting without
engine braking = Low consumption
and
•
Deactivated ECO function: Short coasting
with engine braking = Minimum con-
sumption.
However, to achieve optimal low fuel con-
sumption, Eco Coast in combination with
short coasting distances should generally
be avoided.
Activating Eco Coast
The function is activated when the accelera-
tor pedal is fully released, in combination with
the following parameters:
•
ECO button activated
•
Gear selector in D position
•
Speed within the range of
approx. 65-140 km/h
•
The road's downhill gradient is not
steeper than approx. 6%.
Deactivate Eco Coast
In certain situations it may be desirable to
deactivate the Eco Coast function. Examples
of such situations include:
•
on steep downhill gradients - to be able
to use engine braking.
•
before an imminent overtaking manoeu-
vre - in order to be able to complete it in
the safest possible way.
Deactivating Eco Coast and returning to
engine braking can be performed as follows:
•
Press the ECO button.
•
Move the gear lever to manual "S+/-"
position.
•
Change gear with the steering wheel pad-
dle shifters.
•
Actuate the accelerator or brake pedal.
Eco Coast - Limitations
The function is not available if:
•
cruise control is activated
•
the road's downhill gradient is steeper
than approx. 6%
•
manual gear changing is performed with
the steering wheel paddle shifters*
•
engine and/or gearbox are not at normal
operating temperature.
•
the gear selector is moved from D- to "S
+/-" position
•
speed is outside the range of
approx. 65-140 km/h

Foot brake
The foot brake is used to reduce the car's
speed while driving.
The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If
a brake circuit is damaged then the brake
pedal will engage deeper and a higher pres-
sure on the pedal is needed to produce the
normal braking effect.
The driver's brake pedal pressure is assisted
by a brake servo.
WARNING
The brake servo only works when the
engine is running.
If the foot brake is used when the engine is
switched off then the pedal will feel stiff and a
higher pedal pressure must be used to brake
the car.
For cars with the Hill start assist (HSA)*
(p. 279)* function, the pedal returns more
slowly than usual to normal position if the car
is parked on a gradient or on an uneven sur-
face.
In very hilly terrain or when driving with a
heavy load the brakes can be relieved by
using engine braking. Engine braking is most
efficiently used if the same gear is used
downhill as up.
For more general information on heavy loads
on the car, see Engine oil - adverse driving
Braking on wet roads
When driving for a long time in heavy rain
without braking, the braking effect may be
delayed slightly when next using the brakes.
This may also be the case after a car wash. It
is then necessary to depress the brake
harder. For this reason, maintain a greater
distance to the traffic ahead.
Brake the car firmly after driving on wet roads
and after a car wash. The brake discs are
then warmed up, dry more quickly and are
protected against corrosion. Take the prevail-
ing traffic situation into account when brak-
ing.
Braking on salted roads
When driving on salted roads a layer of salt
may form on the brake discs and brake lin-
ings. This may extend braking distance. For
this reason, keep an extra large safety dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead. Also make sure of
the following:
•
Brake occasionally to remove any layer of
salt. Make sure that other road users are
not put at risk by the braking.
•
Gently depress the brake pedal when
driving is finished and before the next
journey starts.
Maintenance
To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-
ble, follow the Volvo service intervals as
specified in the Service and Warranty Book-
let.
New and replacement brake linings and brake
discs only provide optimal brake performance
after a few hundred kilometres after "wearing-
in". Compensate for the reduced brake per-
formance by depressing the brake pedal
harder. Volvo recommends only fitting brake
linings that are approved for your Volvo.
The wear on the brake system's compo-
nents must be checked regularly.
Contact a workshop for information about
the procedure or engage a workshop to
carry out the inspection - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.

Foot brake - anti-lock braking system
Foot brake - anti-lock braking system
The anti-lock braking system, ABS (Anti-lock
Braking System), prevents the wheels from
locking up during braking.
The function allows the steering ability to be
maintained, and it is easier to swerve to avoid
a hazard for example. Vibration may be felt in
the brake pedal when this is engaged and this
is normal.
A short test of the ABS system is made auto-
matically after the engine has been started
when the driver releases the brake pedal. A
further automatic test of the ABS system may
be made when the car reaches 10 km/h. The
test may be experienced as pulses in the
brake pedal.

Foot brake - emergency brake lights
and automatic hazard warning
flashers
Emergency brake lights are activated in order
to alert vehicles behind about heavy braking.
The function means that the brake light
flashes instead of - as in normal braking -
shining with a constant glow.
Emergency brake lights are activated at
speeds above 50 km/h in the event of heavy
braking. After the car's speed has been
slowed down to below 10 km/h the brake
light returns from flashing to the normal con-
stant glow - while at the same time the car's
hazard warning lights (p. 96) are activated.
These flash until the driver accelerates the car
up to a higher speed again or switches off the
hazard warning lights.

Foot brake - anti-lock braking system
Foot brake - emergency brake
assistance
Emergency brake assistance EBA (Emergency
Brake Assist) helps to increase the braking
force and so reduce the braking distance.
EBA detects the driver's braking style and
increases the braking force when necessary.
The brake force can be reinforced up to the
level when the ABS system is engaged. The
EBA function is interrupted when the pressure
on the brake pedal is reduced.
When EBA is activated the brake pedal
lowers slightly more than usual, depress
(hold) the brake pedal as long as neces-
sary. If the brake pedal is released then all
braking ceases.

Parking brake
The parking brake holds the car stationary,
when the driver's seat is empty, by mechani-
cally locking/blocking two wheels.
Function
A faint electric motor noise can be heard
when the electrically-controlled parking brake
is being applied. The noise can also be heard
during the automatic function checking of the
parking brake.
If the car is stationary when the parking brake
is applied then it only acts on the rear wheels.
If it is applied when the car is moving then the
normal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake acts
on all four wheels. Brake function changes
over to the rear wheels when the car is almost
stationary.
Low battery voltage
If the battery voltage is too low then the park-
ing brake can neither be released nor applied.
Connect a donor battery if the battery voltage
is too low, see Jump starting with battery
Applying the parking brake
Parking brake control - apply.
1. Depress the foot brake pedal firmly.
2. Press the parking brake control.
>
The combined instrument pan-
el's symbol starts flashing - once there
is a constant glow the parking brake is
applied.
3. Release the foot brake pedal and make
sure that the car is at a standstill position.
When parking the vehicle, always engage 1st
gear (for manual gearbox) or put the gear
selector in position P (for automatic gearbox).
Emergency brake
In an emergency the parking brake can be
applied when the vehicle is in motion by
pressing and holding the parking brake con-
trol. The braking procedure is stopped when
the control is released.
An acoustic signal sounds while emer-
gency braking is active at high speeds.
Parking on a hill
If the car is parked facing uphill:
•
Turn the wheels away from the kerb.
If the car is parked facing downhill:
•
Turn the wheels towards the kerb.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when
parking on a slope - leaving the car in
gear, or in P if it has automatic transmis-
sion, is not sufficient to hold the car in all
situation.

For safety reasons, the parking brake is
only released automatically if the engine is
running and the driver is wearing a seat-
belt. The parking brake is released imme-
diately on cars with automatic gearbox
when the accelerator pedal is depressed
and the gear selector is in position D or R.
Heavy load uphill
A heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the
car to roll backward when the parking brake
is released automatically on a steep incline.
Avoid this by depressing the control while
driving off. Release the control when the
engine achieves traction.
Replacing the brake linings
The rear brake linings must be replaced at a
workshop due to the design of the electric
parking brake - an authorised Volvo work-
shop is recommended.

Driving in water
Driving in water means that the car is driven
through a water-covered roadway. Driving in
water must be carried out with great caution.
The car can be driven through water at a
maximum depth of 25 cm (30 cm with XC70)
at a maximum speed of walking pace. Extra
caution must be exercised when passing
through flowing water.
During driving in water, maintain a low speed
and do not stop the car. When the water has
been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly
and check that full brake function is achieved.
Water and mud for example can make the
brake linings wet resulting in delayed brake
function.
•
Clean the electric contacts of the electric
engine block heater* and trailer coupling
after driving in water and mud.
•
Do not let the car stand with water over
the sills for any long period of time - this
could cause electrical malfunctions.
Engine damage can occur if water enters
the air filter.
In depths greater than 25 cm (30 cm with
XC70), water could enter the transmission.
This reduces the lubricating ability of the
oils and shortens the service life of these
systems.
Damage to any component, engine, trans-
mission, turbocharger, differential or its
internal components caused by flooding,
hydrostatic locking or oil shortage, is not
covered by the warranty.
In the event of the engine stalling in water,
do not try restart - tow the car from the
water to a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended. Risk of engine
breakdown.

•
Overheating
Under special conditions, for example hard
driving in hilly terrain and hot climate, there is
a risk that the engine and drive system may
overheat - in particular with a heavy load.
For information about overheating when driv-
ing with a trailer, see Driving with a trailer*
•
Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front
of the grille when driving in hot climates.
•
If the temperature in the engine's cooling
system is too high then a warning symbol
is illuminated in the combined instrument
panel's information display and a text
message
High engine temperature

is shown there - stop the car
in a safe way and allow the engine to run
at idling speed for several minutes in
order to cool down.
•
If the text message
High engine

is shown
then the engine must be switched off
after stopping the car.
•
In the event of overheating in the gearbox
a built-in protection function is activated
which, amongst other things, illuminates
a warning symbol in the combined instru-
ment panel, and its display shows the
text message

stop the car in a safe way and allow the
engine to run at idling speed for a few
minutes in order to allow the gearbox to
cool down.
•
If the car overheats, the air conditioning
may be switched off temporarily.
•
Do not turn the engine off immediately
you stop after a hard drive.
It is normal for the engine's cooling fan to
operate for a time after the engine has
been switched off.
Driving with open tailgate/boot lid
When driving with the tailgate open, toxic
exhaust fumes can be sucked into the car
through the cargo area.
WARNING
Do not drive with an open tailgate! Toxic
exhaust fumes could be drawn into the car
through the cargo area.

Overload - starter battery
The electrical functions in the car load the
starter battery (p. 378) to varying degrees.
Avoid using the key position II (p. 81) when
the engine is switched off. Instead use posi-
tion I - which uses less power.
Also, be aware of different accessories that
load the electrical system. Do not use func-
tions which use a lot of power when the
engine is switched off. Examples of such
functions are:
•
ventilation fan
•
headlamps
•
windscreen wiper
•
audio system (high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low then the
combined instrument panel's information dis-
play shows the text
Low battery charge
Power save mode
. The energy-saving func-
tion then shuts down certain functions or
reduces certain functions such as the ventila-
tion fan and/or audio system.
–
In which case, charge the starter battery
by starting the engine and then running it
for at least 15 minutes - starter battery
charging is more effective during driving
than running the engine at idling speed
while stationary.

Before a long journey
Before a long journey, it makes good sense to
go through the following points:
•
Check that the engine is working normally
and that fuel consumption (p. 425) is nor-
mal.
•
Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oil
or other fluid).
•
Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths.
•
Carrying a warning triangle (p. 331) is a
legal requirement in certain countries.

Winter driving
For winter driving it is important to perform
certain checks in order to ensure that the car
can be driven safely.
Check the following in particular before the
cold season:
•
The engine coolant (p. 366) must contain
50% glycol. This mixture protects the
engine against frost erosion down to
approximately –35 °C. To avoid health
risks, different types of glycol must not be
mixed.
•
The fuel tank must be kept filled to pre-
vent condensation.
•
Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils with
lower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate star-
ting in cold weather and also reduce fuel
consumption while the engine is cold. For
more information on suitable oils, see
Engine oil - adverse driving conditions
Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard
driving or in hot weather.
•
The condition of the starter battery and
charge level must be inspected. Cold
weather places great demands on the
starter battery and its capacity is reduced
by the cold.
•
Use washer fluid (p. 377) to avoid ice
forming in the washer fluid reservoir.
To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo rec-
ommends using winter tyres on all wheels if
there is a risk of snow or ice.
The use of winter tyres is a legal require-
ment in certain countries. Studded tyres
are not permitted in all countries.
Slippery driving conditions
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under
controlled conditions to learn how the car
reacts.

Fuel filler flap - manual opening
The fuel filler flap can be opened manually
when electric opening from the passenger
compartment is not possible.
1. Open/remove the side hatch in the cargo
area (same side as fuel filler flap) and
locate the green cord with handle.
2. Pull the cord gently straight back until the
fuel filler flap folds out with a "click".
Pull the wire gently - minimal force is
required to disengage the hatch lock.

Filling up with fuel
Important things to consider when refuelling.
Opening/closing the fuel cap
A certain overpressure may arise in the tank
in the event of high outside temperatures.
Open the cap slowly.
•
After refuelling - refit the cap and turn it
until one or more clicking sounds are
heard.
Filling up with fuel
•
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the
pump nozzle cuts out.
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot
weather.
