Drive system - symbols and
messages
In some situations the drive system can dis-
play a message in the combined instrument
panel - follow the recommendation given if
appropriate.
This symbol illuminates in combina-
tion with a text message and an
acoustic warning signal if an unbel-
ted driver opens the driver's door
with the diesel engine or electric motor run-
ning.
The same thing happens if an unbelted driver
starts the engine with the driver's door open.
Here are some examples of messages, their
meaning and suggestions for action:

Gearboxes
A V60 Plug-in Hybrid is driven and operated
in the same way as a car with a conventional
internal combustion engine and automatic
gearbox.
The exception is that with the gear selector in
manual gear position (+/-) the diesel engine
will always be running. The driver must then
change manually and the car engine brakes
when the accelerator pedal is released, see
Automatic gearbox -- Geartronic (p. 270).
To prevent damage to any drive system
components, the working temperature of
the gearbox is checked. If there is a risk of
overheating, a warning symbol is illumi-
nated in the combined instrument panel in
conjunction with a text message being
shown. Follow the recommendation given
in the text message.

Automatic gearbox -- Geartronic (p. 270)
Gear shift indicator*
The gear shift indicator notifies the driver
when it is appropriate to engage the next
higher or lower gear.
An essential detail in connection with environ-
mental driving is to drive in the right gear and
to change gear in plenty of time.
An indicator is available as an aid on some
variants - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) - which
notifies the driver when it is appropriate to
engage the next higher or lower gear in order
to obtain the lowest possible fuel consump-
tion.
However, taking into consideration characte-
ristics such as performance and vibration-free
running, it may be advantageous to change
gear at a higher engine speed. The framed
number indicates the current gear.

Automatic gearbox -- Geartronic
The Geartronic gearbox has two different gear
modes - Automatic and Manual.
D: Automatic gear positions. +/–: Manual gear
positions. S
5
: Sport mode*.
Combined instrument panel (p. 66) shows the
position of the gear selector using the follow-
ing indications:
P
,
R
,
N
,
D
,
S
*,
1
,
2
,
3
etc.
Gear positions
Automatic gear positions are
indicated on the right of the
combined instrument panel.
(Only one marker is illumi-
nated at a time - the one
showing the current gear
selector position.)
Parking position - P
Select P position when starting the engine or
when the car is parked.
In order to move the gear selector from the P
position the brake pedal must be depressed
and the remote control key must be in posi-
tion I or II.
When starting the engine there is an auto-
matic function check of the brake system
when the driver depresses the brake pedal
to take the gear selector from the P-posi-
tion. During the function check the pedal
travel is slightly longer than during normal
braking.
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when
the P position is engaged. Also apply the
parking brake (p. 278) when the car is
parked.
The gear selector must be in P position to
allow the car to be locked and alarmed.
The car must be stationary when posi-
tion P is selected.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when
parking on a slope - the automatic trans-
mission's P position is not sufficient to
hold the car in all situation.
Reverse position - R
The car must be stationary when R position is
selected.
Neutral position - N
No gear is engaged and the engine can be
started. Apply the parking brake if the car is
stationary with the gear selector in N position.
To be able to move the gear selector from N
to other gear positions, the brake pedal must
be depressed and the remote control key
must be in key position II.
Drive position - D
D is the normal driving position. Shifting up
and down takes place automatically based on
the level of acceleration and speed. The car
must be stationary when the gear selector is
moved to D position from R position.
Geartronic – Manual gear positions
(+S-)
With the gear selector in manual gear position
"+S-" the diesel engine is permanently in
operation. The driver must then change man-

ually and the car engine brakes when the
accelerator pedal is released.
The manual gear position is reached
by moving the lever to the side from
position D to the end position at
"+S-". The combined instrument
panel's symbol "+S-" changes colour from
WHITE to ORANGE and the digits
1
,
2
,
3
etc.
are displayed in a box, corresponding to the
gear that has just been selected.
•
Move the lever forwards towards "+"
(plus) to change up a gear and release the
lever, which returns to its rest position
between + and –.
or
•
Pull the lever back towards "–" (minus) to
change down a gear and release it.
The manual gearshift mode "+S–" can be
selected at any time while driving.
Geartronic automatically shifts down if the
driver allows the speed to decrease lower
than a level suitable for the selected gear, in
order to avoid jerking and stalling.
To return to automatic driving mode:
•
Move the lever to the side to the end
position at D.
Geartronic - Winter mode
It can be easier to pull away on slippery roads
if 3rd gear is engaged manually.
1. Depress the brake pedal and move the
gear selector from D position to the end
position at "+S–" - the combined instru-
ment panel changes indication from
D
to
the figure
1
.
2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the lever
forward towards "+" (plus) twice - the dis-
play shifts the indication from
1
to
3
.
3. Release the brake and accelerate care-
fully.
The gearbox "winter mode" means that the
car moves off with a lower engine speed and
reduced engine power on the drive wheels.
Kick-down
When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the
way to the floor (beyond the position normally
regarded as full acceleration) a lower gear is
immediately engaged. This is known as kick-
down.
If the accelerator is released from the kick-
down position, the gearbox automatically
changes up.
Kick-down is used when maximum accelera-
tion is needed, such as for overtaking.
Safety function
To prevent overrevving the engine, the gear-
box control program has a protective down-
shift inhibitor which prevents the kick-down
function.
Geartronic does not permit downshifting/
kick-down which would result in an engine
speed high enough to damage the engine.
Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shift
down in this way at high engine speed – the
original gear remains engaged.
When kick-down is activated the car can
change one or more gears at a time depend-
ing on engine speed. The car changes up
when the engine reaches its maximum speed
in order to prevent damage to the engine.
Towing
If the car has to be towed - see important
information in the section Towing (p. 310).

The gear selector can be moved forward and
back freely between N and D. Other positions
are locked with a latch that is released with
the inhibitor button on the gear selector.
With the inhibitor button depressed the lever
can be moved forwards or backwards
between P, R, N and D.
Automatic gear selector inhibitor
The automatic gearbox has special safety
systems:
Parking position (P)
Stationary car with engine running:
•
Keep your foot on the brake pedal when
moving the gear selector to another posi-
tion.
Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock
Parking position (P)
To be able to move the gear selector from P
to other gear positions, the brake pedal must
be depressed and the remote control key
must be in key position II (p. 81).
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)
If the gear selector is in 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.
To be able to move the gear selector from N
to other gear positions, the brake pedal must
be depressed and the remote control key
must be in key position II, see Key positions
Deactivate automatic gear selector
inhibitor
If the car cannot be driven, e.g. due to a flat
starter battery, the gear selector must be
moved from the P position so that the car can
be moved.
Lift the rubber mat in the compartment
behind the centre console and locate a
hole

for the key blade (p. 167) in the bot-
tom of the compartment.
Search for a spring-loaded button down
in the hole with the key blade; depress
the button with the blade and hold.
Move the gear selector from the P posi-
tion and pull up the key blade.
4. Set the rubber mat back in place.

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

All Wheel Drive - AWD
Optimal traction is achieved with all-wheel
drive.
Use this button on the centre
console to activate all-wheel
drive (AWD – All Wheel
mode is primarily intended
for use at low speed in slip-
pery driving conditions. All-wheel drive also
has a stabilising effect at higher speeds.
To achieve the best possible traction and pre-
vent wheel spin the motive force is distributed
automatically to the wheels with the best grip.
Under normal driving conditions, the majority
of power is transmitted to the front wheels.
08 Starting and driving

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 doesn't operate until after
the engine has been started, see Starting
If the foot brake is used in a de-energised car
with the electricity and diesel engine switched
off - e.g. if the car is being towed - then pedal
travel is slightly longer and a higher pedal
pressure must be used to brake the car.
In very hilly terrain or when driving with a
heavy load the brakes can be relieved by
using engine braking. Engine braking is most
efficiently used if the same gear is used
downhill as up.
For more general information on heavy loads
on the car, see Engine oil - adverse driving
Function check when the engine is
started
A V60 Plug-in Hybrid is equipped with a so-
called "brake by wire" brake system. After
each time the engine is started there is an
automatic function check of the brake system
when the driver depresses the brake pedal to
take the gear selector from the P position,
see Automatic gearbox -- Geartronic (p. 270).
In connection with the function check, in
some cases, the information display may
show a message and a symbol, see examples
in the table at the end of this section.
During the function check the pedal travel
is slightly longer than during normal brak-
ing.
Light braking - hybrid battery charging
The electric motor's engine brake is used
during light braking. The car's kinetic energy
is then converted to electrical energy instead,
which is used to charge the hybrid battery.
Battery charging with engine braking is indi-
cated in the combined instrument panel
(p. 67) with animation.
This function is active in the speed range
150-5 km/h - for harder braking, as well as
outside the speed range, the braking is com-
plemented by the hydraulic brake system.
Cleaning the brake discs
Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs
may result in delayed brake function. With
wet road surfaces, prior to long-stay parking
and after the car has been washed, it is there-
fore advisable to carry out cleaning by brak-
ing gently for a short period while driving.
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.
The wear on the brake system's compo-
nents must be checked regularly.
Contact a workshop for information about
the procedure or engage a workshop to
carry out the inspection - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.

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

Emergency brake lights are activated to alert
vehicles behind about sudden braking. The
function means that the brake light flashes
instead of - as in normal braking - shining with
a constant glow.
Emergency brake lights are activated at
speeds above 50 km/h in the event of sudden
braking. After the car's speed has been
slowed below 10 km/h the brake light returns
from flashing to the normal constant glow -
while at the same time the hazard warning
flashers (p. 97) are activated, and they flash
until the driver changes engine speed with the
accelerator pedal or they are deactivated with
their button.

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 electrical parking brake is being
applied. The noise can also be heard during
the automatic function checking of the park-
ing 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 control PUSH LOCK/PULL
RELEASE.
>
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 put the gear
selector in the P position.
Emergency brake
In an emergency the parking brake can be
applied when the vehicle is in motion by
pressing and holding the control for PUSH
LOCK/PULL RELEASE. The braking proce-
dure is stopped when the control is released.
In the event of emergency braking at
speeds above 10 km/h a signal sounds
during the braking procedure.
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.

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.
