remote key in the passenger compartment.

To help avoid this, lock the vehicle from

the outside by pressing the lock button on

the remote key.
If the vehicle is locked using the central

locking button, be sure that the remote key

is in your possession before closing the

door.

The glove compartment can only be locked

and unlocked using the detachable key blade

in the remote key. For information on remov-

ing the key blade from the remote key, see

Alarm – general information

The alarm system provides a warning if an

The alarm is automatically armed (p. 137)

whenever the vehicle is locked with the

remote key.
When armed, the alarm continuously monitors

a number of points on the vehicle. The follow-

ing conditions will trigger the alarm:

•

The hood is forced open.

•

A door is forced open.

•

The ignition slot is tampered with.

•

An attempt is made to start the vehicle

with a non-approved key (a key not

coded to the car's ignition).

•

The battery is disconnected (while the

alarm is armed).

•

The siren is disconnected when the alarm

is disarmed.

A message will appear in the information dis-

play if a fault should occur in the alarm sys-

tem. Contact a trained and qualified Volvo

service technician.

Do not attempt to repair any of the compo-

nents in the alarm system yourself. This

could affect the insurance policy on the

vehicle.

Active chassis* (Four C)

Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously

Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the

characteristics of the shock absorbers so that

the vehicle's driving characteristics can be

adjusted. There are three settings: Comfort,

Sport and Advanced.

Operation

Chassis settings

Use the buttons in the center console to

change setting. The setting in use when the

engine is switched off is activated the next

time the engine is started.

Comfort

Comfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride

and the transmission shifts gears at lower

rpm. This mode is particularly suitable for

long-distance highway driving. The indicator

light in the button will be on when this mode

is selected.

Sport

In this mode, the vehicle's body sway is

reduced during cornering and steering

response is more immediate. The transmis-

sion shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driv-

ing. The indicator light in the button will be on

to indicate that Sport mode has been

selected.

Advanced

In this mode, body sway in curves is minimal

and steering response is very direct. Gear

shifting is done at high rpm in each gear for

dynamic and active driving.

Adjustable steering force* (p. 145)

Stability system – introduction

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system

consists of a number of functions designed to

help reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding

and to generally help improve directional sta-

bility.

A pulsating sound will be audible

when the system is actively operat-

ing and is normal. Acceleration will

also be slightly slower than normal.

WARNING

ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot

deal with all situations or road conditions.
The driver is always responsible for oper-

ating the vehicle in a safe manner in

accordance with current traffic regulations.

ESC consists of the following functions:

•

Traction control

•

Spin control

•

Active Yaw Control

Traction Control (TC)

This function is designed to help reduce

wheel spin at low speeds by transferring

power from a drive wheel that begins to lose

traction to the wheel on the opposite side of

the vehicle (on the same axle).

07 Driver support

142

Spin Control (SC)

The SC function is designed to help prevent

the drive wheels from spinning while the vehi-

cle is accelerating.

Active Yaw Control (AYC)

This function helps maintain directional stabil-

ity, for example when cornering, by braking

one or more of the wheels if the vehicle

shows a tendency to skid or slide laterally.

Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)

The TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is tow-

ing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer have

begun to sway. See Trailer Stability Assist

(TSA) (p. 245) for more information.
This system is automatically deactivated if the

driver selects Sport mode.

Stability system – operation

Operation

Sport mode

The stability system is always activated and

cannot be switched off.

However, the driver can

select Sport mode, which

offers more active driving

characteristics.
Sport mode can be selected

in the MY CAR menus, see

My Car – introduction (p. 66).
In Sport mode, the engine management sys-

tem monitors movement of the accelerator

pedal and steering wheel for sportier driving

by allowing more lateral movement of the rear

wheels before ESC is activated.
Under certain circumstances, such as when

driving with snow chains, or driving in deep

snow or loose sand, it may be advisable to

temporarily use Sport mode for maximum

tractive force.
If the driver releases pressure on the acceler-

ator pedal, ETC will also activate to help sta-

bilize the vehicle.
To switch to Sport mode:
Sport mode remains active until the driver

switches it off in the menu or until the engine

is switched off. ETC will return to normal

mode when the engine is restarted.

and responsibility when operating the vehi-

cle. Speed and driving style should always

be adapted to traffic and road conditions.
