low speed. The test may be felt as pulses in
the brake pedal.

Light braking charges the hybrid
battery

The electric motor's engine brake is used dur-
ing 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 electric motor braking is
indicated in the driver display.

The driver display indicates charging during electric

motor braking.

This function is active in the speed interval
150-5 km/h (93-3 mph). During heavier brak-
ing, as well as outside the speed interval, brak-
ing is supplemented by the hydraulic brake
system. The driver's display shows this by the
indicator being down in the red zone.

Symbols in the driver display

Symbol Specification

Check the brake fluid level. If the
level is low, fill with brake fluid
and check for the cause of the
brake fluid loss.

Fault in pedal sensor.

Constant glow for 2 seconds
when the engine is started: Auto-
matic function check.

Constant glow for more than 2
seconds: Fault in the ABS sys-
tem. The car's normal brake sys-
tem is still working, but without
the ABS function.

If the message

Characteristics changed Serv-
ice required

is shown, the sys-

tem for "Brake-by-wire" is disen-
gaged. A higher pedal pressure is
required to produce braking
effect.

WARNING

If both the warning lamps for brake fault

and ABS fault illuminate at the same time,

a fault has occurred in the brake system.

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 assistance

The brake assist system (BAS

3

) helps to

increase brake force during braking, and can
thereby shorten the braking distance.

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.

Foot brake (p. 425)

Braking on wet roads

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.

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.

Braking on gritted roads (p. 427)

Braking on gritted 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. You should
therefore maintain a greater safety distance to
vehicles in front. In addition, make sure you do
the following:

Brake now and again 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 after fin-
ishing driving and before starting your next
trip.

Brake system maintenance

Check brake system components regularly
for wear.

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.

IMPORTANT

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 (p. 425)

Parking brake

The parking brake prevents the car from roll-
ing away from stationary by means of
mechanically locking/blocking two wheels.

A faint electric motor noise can be heard when
the electrically-operated 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 activated, it only acts on the rear wheels. If
it is activated 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.

Automatic braking when stationary

Automatic brake when stationary (Auto hold)
means that the driver can release the brake
pedal while maintaining braking effect when
the car has stopped at traffic lights or a junc-
tion.

When the car has stopped, the brakes are
activated automatically. The function can use
either foot brake or parking brake to hold the
car stationary and it works on all gradients.
When driving off, the brakes are released
automatically if the driver is wearing the seat-
belt or the driver's door is closed.

NOTE

When braking to a standstill on an uphill or
downhill slope, the brake pedal should be
depressed a little harder before being
released to ensure the car does not roll.

The parking brake is activated if

Auto braking after a collision

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.

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.

If braking is not appropriate, e.g. if there is a
risk of being hit by following traffic, the sys-
tem can be overridden by the driver depress-
ing the accelerator pedal.

The function assumes that the brake system is
intact after the collision.

(power transmission) between engine and
drive wheels. The function of the gearbox is
to change the gear ratio depending on speed
and power requirements.

The car has a seven-speed automatic gearbox
with dual clutch, integrated electric motor for
electric drive and brake energy recovery. The
number of gear changes means that the
engine's torque and power range can be used
effectively.

Both the gear lever and the shift paddles can
be used to shift up or down manually. The
driver display shows the selected gear posi-
tion.

Kick-down function

Kick-down can 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.

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.

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.

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.

Drive systems

Volvo Twin Engine combines an internal com-
bustion engine with an electric motor.

Two drive systems

Depending on the driver-selected drive mode
and available electric energy, the two drive
systems can be used either individually or in
parallel.

The electric motor is supplied its energy from
a hybrid battery fitted in the tunnel console.
The hybrid battery can be charged in a wall
socket, or in a special charging station.

Both the internal combustion engine and elec-
tric motor can generate motive force directly
to the wheels. An advanced control system
combines the properties of both drive systems
in order to provide optimum driving economy.

Hybrid battery - The function of the hybrid
battery is to store energy. This receives
energy by charging from the power grid or
by means of regenerative braking. It pro-
vides energy for electric operation as well
as for temporarily operating the electric air
conditioning during the preconditioning of
the passenger compartment.
Internal combustion engine - The internal
combustion engine starts when the
energy level in the hybrid battery is insuffi-
cient for the engine power that the driver
requests.
Super condenser – Provides energy to
start the car, which saves the regular 12 V
battery.
Electric motor - Powers the car in electric
operation. If necessary, provides extra tor-
que and power during acceleration. Recy-
cles brake energy to electrical energy.

Starting and stopping the

combustion engine in Twin Engine

An advanced control system determines the
extent to which the car is driven on internal
combustion engine, electric motor or both in
parallel. During electric operation, the car
may sometimes need to start the internal
combustion engine automatically due to
external circumstances, e.g. in low outside
temperatures, which is completely normal. In
addition, the internal combustion engine
always starts when the hybrid battery rea-
ches its lowest state of charge.

Climate settings at low temperatures

In low outside temperatures, the internal com-
bustion engine sometimes starts automatically
in order to achieve the desired passenger
compartment temperature and air quality. The
amount of time that the internal combustion
engine runs can be affected by

Emission control

To ensure that emission control operates as
energy-efficiently as possible, the internal
combustion engine must be run for several
minutes once it has been started. The duration
of the internal combustion engine's running

cyclists and animals. This applies in partic-

ular at low speeds such as in car parks.

WARNING

Do not leave the car in an unventilated area

with activated drive mode and the fuel-

driven engine switched off - automatic

engine start occurs at low energy level in

the hybrid battery, and the exhaust gases

could then cause serious injury to people

and animals.
