•

ECO drive mode

The Eco drive mode optimizes the vehicle's driv-
ing characteristics for more fuel-efficient and
eco-friendly driving.

Use this mode to save fuel and promote eco-
friendly driving.

When ECO mode is activated, the following cha-
racteristics are modified:

•

The automatic transmission's shifting points.

•

Engine control and accelerator pedal
response.

•

Eco Coast functionality is activated and
engine braking is disabled when the acceler-
ator pedal is released at speeds between
65 and 140 km/h (40 and 87 mph).

•

Some of the climate system settings will be
reduced or switched off.

•

Information will be shown in the ECO gauge
in the instrument panel to help promote
more eco-friendly and economical driving.

Coast function Eco Coast

Eco Coast essentially deactivates engine braking,
allowing the vehicle's kinetic energy to be used
to roll greater distances. When the driver releases
the accelerator pedal, the transmission is auto-
matically disengaged from the engine. Engine
speed is reduced to idling speed to reduce fuel
consumption.

STARTING AND DRIVING

* Option/accessory.

434

This function is most effective in driving situa-
tions where the vehicle can roll freely for a long
distance, e.g. on roads with slight downgrades or
when a decrease in speed is anticipated, such as
when approaching an area with a lower speed
limit.

Activating Eco Coast

The function is activated when the accelerator
pedal is fully released and the following condi-
tions are met:

•

Eco drive mode is activated.

•

The gear selector is in D.

•

The vehicle's speed is approximately
65-140 km/h (40-87 mph).

•

The gradient of the downgrade is less than
approximately 6%.

COASTING will be displayed in the instrument
panel when Eco Coast is being used.

Limitations

Eco Coast is not available if:

•

The engine and/or transmission are not at
normal working temperatures.

•

The gear selector is moved from D to manual
shifting mode.

•

The vehicle's speed is not within the
65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) range.

•

The gradient of the downgrade is more than
approximately 6%.

•

The steering wheel paddles* are being used
for manual shifting.

Deactivating and turning off Eco Coast

In certain situations, it may be advisable to deac-
tivate or turn off Eco Coast so that engine brak-
ing can be used. These situations might include
driving down steep hills or before passing
another vehicle to help ensure this can be done
as safely as possible.

Deactivate Eco Coast by:

•

Pressing the accelerator or brake pedal.

•

Moving the gear selector to manual mode.

•

Using the steering wheel paddles* to shift.

Turn off Eco Coast by:

•

Switching drive mode* or switching off drive
mode Eco in Function view.

It is possible to roll short distances even without
Eco Coast in order to help conserve fuel. How-
ever, for the best fuel economy, Eco Coast should
be activated and used to roll longer distances.

Cruise control Eco Cruise

When cruise control is activated in the Eco drive
mode, the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration
will be slower than in other drive modes to help
further conserve fuel. Because of this, the vehi-
cle's actual speed may be slightly above or below
the set speed.

•

On a level road, the vehicle's actual speed
may differ from the set speed when cruise
control is active and the vehicle is coasting.

•

On a steep uphill gradient, the vehicle's
speed is reduced until the transmission
downshifts. Reduced acceleration is then ini-
tiated in order to reach the set speed.

•

On a downhill gradient in which the vehicle is
coasting, the vehicle's actual speed may be
slightly above or below the set speed. The
function uses engine braking to keep the set
speed. If necessary, the normal brakes are
also applied.

STARTING AND DRIVING

* Option/accessory.

435

ECO gauge in the instrument panel

Eco gauge in 12" instrument panel*.

Eco gauge in 8" instrument panel.

The ECO gauge indicates how economical cur-
rent driving is:

•

A low reading in the green area of the gauge
indicates economical driving.

•

A high reading is shown when driving is not
economical, e.g. heavy braking or rapid accel-
eration.

The ECO gauge also has an indicator showing
how a reference driver would drive in the same
driving situation. This is shown by the short
pointer in the gauge.

ECO Climate

In Eco mode, ECO climate is automatically acti-
vated in the passenger compartment to help
reduce energy consumption.

Changing drive mode* (p. 433)

When the ECO function is activated, settings
for certain climate system and electricity con-
suming functions are reduced. Some of these
settings can be reset manually, but full func-
tionality will only be restored by switching off
the ECO function or adapting the

Individual

drive mode to full climate system functionality.

If condensation forms on the windows, tap the
max defroster button, which will function normally.

Start/Stop function

Start/Stop is a function that temporarily switches
off the engine when the vehicle has stopped,
e.g. at a traffic light or in heavy traffic, and then
starts it again automatically when the brake
pedal is released.

The Start/Stop function reduces fuel consump-
tion, which helps to reduce exhaust emissions.

The system makes it possible to drive more eco-
nomically and climate-smart by letting the engine
auto-stop when appropriate.

Economical driving

Drive economically and more environmentally
conscious by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid
starts and stops and adapting driving style and
speed to the current traffic conditions.

Observe the following rules:

•

For lower fuel consumption, activate Eco
drive mode.

•

Use the Eco Coast function in drive mode
Eco - engine braking is deactivated, allowing
the vehicle's kinetic energy to be used to roll
greater distances.

•

Use gear D as often as possible and avoid
using the kick-down function.

•

For manual gear shifting, use the highest
possible gear for the current traffic situation
and road conditions - fuel consumption is
reduced at lower engine speeds (rpm). Use
the gear indicator

•

Maintain a steady speed and a generous fol-
lowing distance to traffic ahead to minimize
braking.

•

Fuel consumption is increased at high
speeds - air resistance increases with speed.

•

The trip computer's current fuel consumption
indicator can help promote more fuel-effi-
cient driving.

•

Do not warm up the engine by idling. It is
better to begin driving normally immediately
after starting the engine. A cold engine uses
more fuel than a warm engine.

•

Whenever possible, avoid using the vehicle to
drive short distances. The engine does not
have time to reach a normal operating tem-
perature and this leads to increased fuel
consumption.

•

Use engine braking to brake the vehicle,
when this is safe for other road users.

•

Maintain the correct pressure in the tires and
check pressure regularly.

•

The type of tires used could affect fuel con-
sumption - consult a retailer for advice on
suitable tires.

•

Remove unnecessary items from the vehicle
- the heavier the load, the higher the fuel
consumption.

•

Roof loads increase air resistance and
increase fuel consumption. Remove roof
boxes, ski racks, etc. that are not in use.

•

Avoid driving with the windows open.

Certain markets only.

STARTING AND DRIVING

443

WARNING

Never turn off the engine while the vehicle is

moving, e.g. when driving downhill. This deac-

tivates certain important systems such as

power steering and brakes.

Other factors that decrease fuel
consumption

•

Dirty air cleaner.

•

Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter.

•

Incorrect front-end alignment.

•

Incorrect wheel alignment.

Some of the above items and others are checked
as part of Volvo's standard maintenance sched-
ule.

Preparing for a long trip

It is important to have the vehicle's systems and
equipment checked carefully before driving long
distances.

Check that:

•

the engine is running properly and that fuel
consumption is normal

•

there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)

•

the brake pedal is functioning optimally

•

all lights are working

‒ adjust the headlight

height if the vehicle is carrying a heavy load

•

tire tread depth and air pressure are at cor-
rect levels. Change to snow tires when driv-
ing in areas where there is a risk of snowy or
icy roads

Winter driving

It is important to check the vehicle before driving
in cold/snowy conditions to make sure it can be
driven safely.

Before the cold season arrives:

•

Make sure the engine coolant contains 50%
antifreeze. This mixture helps protect the
engine from frost erosion down to
approx. -35 °C (-31 °F). Do not mix different
types of antifreeze as this could pose a
health risk.

•

Keep the fuel tank well filled to prevent con-
densation from forming.

•

Check the viscosity of the engine oil. Oil with
low viscosity (thinner oil) improves cold-
weather starting and reduces fuel consump-
tion when driving with a cold engine.

Low-viscosity oil should not be used with hard
driving or in hot weather.

•

Check the condition and charge level of the
start battery. Cold weather places greater
demands on the start battery and reduces its
capacity.

•

Use washer fluid containing antifreeze to
help prevent ice from forming in the washer
fluid reservoir.

Slippery driving conditions

For optimal traction and roadholding, Volvo rec-
ommends using snow tires on all wheels when-
ever there is a risk of snow or ice on the road.

Braking on salted roads (p. 418)

Certain countries require use of winter tires
by law. Not all countries permit the use of
studded tires.

Practice driving on slippery surfaces under con-
trolled conditions to learn how the vehicle reacts.

Driving through standing water

Driving the vehicle through a deep pool of stand-
ing water on a water-covered roadway is called
fording. This must be done with great caution.

The vehicle can be driven through water up to a
depth of 25 cm (9 in) at no more than walking
speed. Be particularly careful when driving
through flowing water.

When driving through standing water, drive slowly
and do not stop the vehicle. When you have
passed the water, press lightly on the brake pedal
and check that the brakes are functioning prop-
erly. Water, mud, slush, etc. can make the brake
linings slippery, resulting in delayed braking
effect.

•

If the vehicle is equipped with contacts for an
electric heater or trailer coupling, clean these
after driving in water or mud.

•

Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water up
to the sills any longer than absolutely neces-
sary. This could result in electrical malfunc-
tions.

STARTING AND DRIVING

}}

445

•

Engine damage could occur if water
enters the air cleaner.

•

If water enters the transmission, the lubri-
cating ability of the oils is reduced and
the service life of these systems is short-
ened.

•

Damage to any component, engine,
transmission, turbocharger, differential or
its internal components caused by flood-
ing, vapor lock or insufficient oil is not
covered under warranty.

•

If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in
water, do not attempt to restart it. Have
the vehicle towed out of the water to a
workshop. An authorized Volvo workshop
is recommended. Risk of engine failure.

Because it can be difficult to determine the
water depth, avoid driving through standing or
running water.

Volvo recommends the use of detergent gaso-
line to control engine deposits.

Deposit control gasoline (gasoline with
detergent additives)

Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping injec-
tors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of
deposit control gasolines will help ensure good
driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure
whether the gasoline contains deposit control
additives, check with the service station operator.
