•
When starting in cold weather, the
automatic transmission may shift up at
slightly higher engine speeds than nor-
mal until the automatic transmission
fluid reaches normal operating tem-
perature.
•
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 tempera-
ture.
•
The engine should be idling when the
gear selector is moved. Never acceler-
ate until the gear is fully engaged.
Accelerating 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 peri-
ods of time.
With a cold start, idling speed may be con-
siderably higher than normal for certain
engine types. This is done to get the emis-
sions system up to normal operating tem-
perature as quickly as possible, which min-
imizes exhaust emissions and protects the
environment.

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
number of automatic brake assist functions.
These systems provide assistance by e.g. the
driver not needing to depress the brake pedal
at a traffic light, 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 brake function at a standstill
(Auto Hold)
•
Hill Start Assist (Hill Start Assist)
•
Braking assist after a collision
•

Brakes
The brake pedal is used to apply the vehicle's
regular brakes, which are part of the brake
system.
The vehicle is equipped with two brake cir-
cuits. If one brake circuit is damaged, the
brake pedal may 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 run-
ning.
If the brake pedal is used when the vehicle is
switched off, the pedal must be depressed
with greater pressure, past the normal braking
position, in order 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
2
), which helps prevent
the wheels from locking and helps maintain
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
||
STARTING AND DRIVING

steering control when braking. Vibrations may
be felt from the brake pedal when ABS is
operating, which is normal.
After the vehicle is started, a brief test of the
ABS system is automatically performed when
the driver releases the brake pedal. An addi-
tional automatic test of the system may be
performed when the vehicle is traveling at a
low speed. During 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 elec-
tric motor braking function is used. This con-
verts 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
instrument panel with the pointer down in the
red area.

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 nor-
mal when this occurs, drive carefully to
the nearest workshop to have the
brake system checked - an authorized
Volvo workshop is recommended.
•
If the brake fluid has fallen below the
MIN
level in the brake fluid reservoir,
the vehicle should not be driven until
the brake fluid has been filled. The rea-
son for the brake fluid loss must be
checked.

Brake Assist System
The brake enhancing system, (BAS

), helps
increase braking force and can thereby
reduce braking distance.
The system monitors the driver's braking hab-
its and increases braking force when neces-
sary. Braking force can be increased up to the
point at which the ABS intervenes.

Braking on wet roads
Prolonged driving in heavy rain without brak-
ing 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 pres-
sure 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 cor-
rosion. Consider the current traffic situation
when braking.

Braking on salted roads (p. 432)
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. Main-
tain an extra large safety distance to the vehi-
cle 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
finished driving and before driving again.

Maintenance of the brake system
Regularly check the brake system compo-
nents for wear.
To keep the vehicle as safe and reliable as
possible, follow the Volvo service schedule
specified in the Warranty and Maintenance
Records Information booklet. After replacing
brake pads and brake discs, braking effect is
not adapted until they are "broken in" by driv-
ing a few hundred kilometers (miles). Com-
pensate for the reduced braking effect by
applying greater pressure to the brake pedal.
Volvo recommends only using brake pads
approved for your Volvo.
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 recommended.

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 electric 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 activated, it will only be applied to the
rear wheels. If it is activated 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.

Auto-hold brakes
With the Auto-hold brake function, the driver
can release the brake pedal and the brakes
will remain applied, for example, when the
vehicle has stopped at a traffic light or inter-
section.
When the vehicle stops, the brakes are acti-
vated automatically. The function can use
either the normal brakes or the parking brakes
to keep the vehicle stationary and works on
flat surfaces or hills. If the driver has their seat
belt fastened and/or if the driver's door is
closed, the brakes will disengage automati-
cally when the vehicle starts driving.
When braking to a stop on an uphill or
downhill gradient, depress the brake pedal
with slightly more force than usual before
releasing to ensure that the vehicle cannot
move at all.
The parking brake is activated if
•
the vehicle is switched off.
•

) 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 driv-
ing.
Hill Start Assist is activated when the vehicle
is stopped on steep inclines. The function is
available even when the Auto-hold brake func-
tion is switched off.

Braking assist after a collision
In a collision in which the activation level is
reached for the pyrotechnic seat belt tension-
ers or airbags, or if a collision with a large ani-
mal is detected, the vehicle's brakes will be
automatically 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
possible to control and steer the vehicle. In
order to avoid or mitigate a possible further
collision with a vehicle or an object in the vehi-
cle's path, the brake assist system is activated
automatically to help stop the vehicle safely.
If braking is not appropriate, e.g. if there is a
risk of being hit by passing traffic, the driver
can override the system by depressing the
accelerator pedal.
This function assumes that the brake system
is intact after a collision.

Transmission
The transmission is part of the vehicle's drive-
line (power transmission) between the engine
and the drive wheels. The function of the
transmission is to change gears depending
on speed and power needs.
The vehicle has an 8-speed automatic trans-
mission and an electric motor for rear-wheel
drive. The number of gears allows the engine's
torque and power band to be effectively uti-
lized.
Two of the gears are overdrive gears that save
fuel when driving at a constant engine speed.
Both the gear selector and the steering wheel
paddles can be used to shift up or down man-
ually. The selected gear selector position will
be displayed in the instrument panel.
